And we know who we should love, but we're never certain how.

The Weakerthans - The Reasons
From my favorite album by them, Reconstruction Site.
I know,
You might roll your eyes at this,
But I'm so
Glad that you exist.

Stop looking out to pretend, everything is still there.


Ra Ra Riot - Too Too Too Fast
Off the album, The Rhumb Line.
When I look in your eyes, what am I supposed to do?

CHAINSAWS FOR HANDS!

What do I do.. without you?

The Mountain Goats - Woke Up New
Simply, Darnielle is a genius. He is the best living song-writer, in my opinion. This song is off the album, Get Lonely. It can be said to take on a plethora of meanings. One being plainly about a break-up and how he cannot mentally function afterward, being alone, lost, confused, and afraid. Another goes along with his childhood (a recurring theme, seen more evidently in the album, The Sunset Tree) , and waking up without his abusive, controlling, step-father being home. I like the first scenario better, personally.

And an astronaut could have seen the hunger in my eyes from space.

If this changed your life, did you have one before?

Los Campesinos! - I Warned You: Do Not Make An Enemy Of Me
Off their newest album, Romance Is Boring. I still favorite We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed. Though most of their lyrics seem like a load of rubbish, they're just an overall fun band to listen to.


I'll take your heart with such little commotion,
By crippling disease or with deadly love potion.
I'll bind you and gag you and all's well that ends, I suppose.

Drink to the devil and death to the doctors!

Franz Ferdinand - The Fallen
And so I have these friends with a Franz cult... they got me into them.
You've already seen
That the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
Oh, if you judge us
We're all damned.
