and you act like loving you is such a stupid thing for me to do what makes you so bad? if you're freaking out cause you worried about the things that could go wrong please think about the things that could go right and darling come on dance with me tonight cause if there's no tomorrow then at least right now let us delight in how your heart fits so squarely next to mine am I really dumb for trying? I'm not brave but I won't fear pain cause there's no strength in my reservations I live or die by how I try and you push me away in tiny inches the space between texts increases there's less and less kisses 'til suddenly I look and I'm outside your heart and I never even realized but you were teaching in small ways to live life without you did you hope that by the end I wouldn't care? and now I'm stuck here never knowing what's my faults or your fears could I have saved us by being better? did you even want me to try? I would know if a kiss was one sided right?

I want to be there when you wake. I want to be there when you need. I want to be there when you laugh. I want to be there when you speed. I want to be there when you're hurt. I want to be there 'til you're fine. I want to be there for tonight. I want to be there all the time. All the time. And you know what I know. And you feel what I feel. There is nothing about you I won't love.

Top 5 Songs of the Week (11/13-11/19)

Hello everyone! This week I am showcasing 5 songs from indie artists who I believe are underrated, unnoticed, or need more attention. There’s a diversity in the genre mix, but variety is the spice of life, right?  Enjoy this week’s music review, and as always, feel free to recommend an artist or song you’d like for me to review! And if you enjoy my weekly posts, make sure to reblog, like and follow (but only if you want to #freewill) :)

5. Appointments//Julien Baker

Thoughts: I just recently started listening to Julien Baker and I’m so impressed by her talent. She reminds me of Ingrid Michaelson, because they both hold the belief of empowerment and inner strength in their songs (and similar voices too but ya know). Appointments connects to the listener and supports those who struggle with their own personal battles within relationships. Instead of making the theme to be about her feelings however, she directs the lyrics to healing and starting over to be a better person. I’d recommend this song to anyone who is in the process of bettering their self, or is going through some kind of relapse. 

Favorite line: “I think if I ruin this that I know I can live with it. Nothing turns out like I pictured it. Maybe the emptiness is just a lesson in canvases.”

4. Pin//Grimes

Thoughts: Art Angels is a phenomenal album that really shows how far Claire has come with her music within the past several years. This album features many experimental songs that still contain the typical “angst in the dark” lyrics. Pin is my favorite song because it paints the picture of the happy times we have with others, and how we desperately try to go back to those days. However, those days are in the past and the fantasy wears off, and we have to move on from the memories. The obscurities in her writing adds to the acid trip that her instrumentals give off, and it comes off as an altered reality (or a high. idk I don’t do drugs).

Favorite line: “Bite off your fingernails, cut up your skin. Tell me that it didn't happen.”

3. Loose Lips//The Ballroom Thieves

Thoughts: I first encountered this Massachusetts-based band as street performers in Boston 4 years ago. I later found them on Spotify and I’ve been listening to them ever since! Loose Lips was the song I remember hearing when I saw them that day, so it has always had a special place in my Ballroom Thieves memory. Loose Lips gives off that seaside town feeling, like a farmer’ s market in the middle of summer. There’s a dreamy, imaginative sound to their folk style, but they combine it with lyrics that don’t make you think of it as “just an unrelatable folk song”. 

Favorite line: “You might have what I like, no no I can't deny that. But tell me, how do you stand straight with all them knives in your back?”

2. Girl!//Terror Pigeon

Thoughts: I first heard Terror Pigeon at my friend’s barn. He hosts traveling and local artists to play free shows in his barn, and Terror Pigeon happened to be performing there one night. Everyone laid on the floor and watched time lapse videos projected on the ceiling while the lead sang, and Girl! was the song that stuck out to me the most. The repetition in the lyrics works well, and the blend of both vocalists sounds natural. Its one of those songs you’d put in a playlist for your new s/o after you start dating. 

Favorite line: "And where I'm going, will you come to then? ‘Cause all I want to do and see would be infinitely better with you beside me.” 

1. Sit Next to Me//Foster the People

Thoughts: Foster the People puts me in another decade. Mark Foster’s voice  gives me Glass Animals vibes in this specific song, especially with his sequence of higher notes combined with the synth. The lyrics tell the story of a character who wants to win the affection of a specific person, but over the course of the song they realize they can’t force them to do anything along those lines. Sit Next to Me is incredibly catchy, so be warned if you haven’t listened to it yet! 

Favorite line: “Well I ain’t frontin' my intention, got your man outlined in chalk. It's a midnight intervention, got no plans to make it stop.”

"could I have saved us by being better?/did you even want me to try?/I would know if a kiss was one sided right?” and all the other insecurities I have in relationships, so quaintly said by Terror Pigeon on their track “No Ocean.”
