“You Could Be Happy” - Snow Patrol
I hate feeling that I’m not over something … or someone.
Somehow everything I own smells of you
and for the tiniest moment it’s all not true
“Good Times Gonna Come” - Aqualung
See me then
Investing so much
In you, in you, in you
Came so close
To the edge
I do, I do, I do
“Brandy” - Looking Gass
When I was 10 I was quite the rebel and would stay up late. I’m talking late. Late enough to see TimeLife CD collection commercials. My favorite TimeLife CD commercial was the 70s collection, and this was my favorite song. For the longest time all I knew of the song was “She hears him say ‘Brandy, you’re a fine girl. What a good wife you would be. But my life, my love and my lady is the sea’”. Who knew there was this great, heartbreaking story in the rest of the lyrics?
This is my favorite reading of Pushkin’s “Я Вас Любил”
I loved you: and perhaps I love you still,
The flame, perhaps, is not extinguished yet
It burns so quietly within my soul,
No longer should you feel distressed by it.
Silently and hopelessly I loved you,
At times too jealous and at times too shy.
God grant you find another who will love you
As tenderly and truthfully as I.
Я вас любил: любовь еще, быть может,
В душе моей угасла не совсем;
Но пусть она вас больше не тревожит;
Я не хочу печалить вас ничем.
Я вас любил безмолвно, безнадежно,
То робостью, то ревностью томим;
Я вас любил так искренно, так нежно,
Как дай вам Бог любимой быть другим.
Dirty Vegas - Days Go By (Acoustic)
the acoustic version of the song from that one mitsubishi eclipse commercial. its music video is also one of my all-time favorites.
“The Story I Heard” - Blind Pilot
Blind Pilot is a popular band name as I found at least three during my search for them on MySpace. This Blind Pilot, however, is an indie rock band from Portand, Oregon. This summer they released their LP “3 Rounds and a Sound” on Expunged Records.
