Sunday Night's Playlist

It’s Sunday night and I’m stargazing. As I am typing this, I am perched in the terrace, my computer in my lap and headphones in my ears. It’s a little foggy and the stars are not as bright as they normally are and here I am again – very much inspired to make a playlist to replicate the feeling I had after reading Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

1.      Elevator Love Letter by Stars – Don't go, say you'll stay / Spend a lazy Sunday / in my arms / I won't take anything away (This has abused me emotionally for two weeks now and I’m in love with it.)

2.      Miss Friday by Nico Stai - Wake wake up get out o' your head / You gotta wake wake up get out o' your head / You got a lot to live / You got a lot to live for / So bye bye bye misery / I'm gonna cut you into three (I’m staying up all night again and this is what keeps me going for the last two nights.)

3.      Each Coming Night by Iron and Wine - Your face has faded but lingers on / Because light strikes a deal with each coming night (And I remember my grandparents and the people I may never see again.)

4.      Nothing Like You and I by The Perishers - We spent some time together drinking / Spent some time just thinking about days of joy / As our hearts started beating faster / I recalled your laughter from long ago / There's nothing like you and I (To my best buddy Rey, whom I haven’t talked to for a while now. Where art thou?)

5.      Polaris by Jimmy Eat World - I feel that when I'm old / I'll look at you and know / The world was beautiful (Oh, sweet and powerful lyrics.)

6.      Holocene by Bon Iver - And at once I knew I was not magnificent / High above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice) / But I could see for miles, miles, miles (A song about redemption and realizing that you're worth something; that you're special and not special at the same time.)

7.      Make You Feel My Love by Adele – The entire song is just amazing. Jay recommended this to me and since then I haven’t stop listening to it. I even made my own cover, but that’s another story.

8.      Beirut by Goshen - You never found it home / You're not the girl I used to know / What would you hide from such a glow / If I had only told you so ( A very sad song about a girl who has turned into someone that persona doesn’t recognize anymore)

9.      Kiss Me Slowly by Parachute - This song, to me comes off as a song about meeting someone new and both having pasts with relationships going bad and finding happiness in one another. Not knowing where things were going to go with each other, but not worrying about the future and to not run away from a good thing and just "kiss me slowly". Catchy and I can’t help but sing it.

10.  Half Moon by Blind Pilot - That wind is calling my name / I won’t wait or I’ll never get on (This makes me remember my dreams and why I need to get off this terrace right now, or I’ll never get anything done tonight. Alright.)
