#28 – Fleetwood Mac – Dreams – I remember driving to play a show in Hoboken on a rainy night with Joshua and singing along with this on the radio. He drummed on the steering wheel and we harmonized. One of my favorite moments with my best friend. I sing this at karaoke sometimes, always with that memory in mind.

Sometimes love is quiet, like a lullaby. Like this lullaby.

KILLIN’ EM. “how much further can you get climbing the same old stairs?”

#32 – Judy Garland – Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Terri — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:22:38 +0000

…So I can’t stand Christmas… or many other holidays… but this version of this song is from the film ‘Meet Me in St. Louis’. My mom and I watched it every year at Thanksgiving to welcome the holiday season until we moved away from each other. Now I watch it on my own on Thanksgiving to keep the only real tradition I’ve ever had going. So, this song comes from a girl who misses her mom more than she’s usually willing to say. Even gunslingers are soft sometimes…

YouTube wouldn’t let me embed this song, so here is the link: http://youtu.be/NdbJ3KUWWLc

#33 – Thursday – Understanding in a Car Crash

Michelle might remember when my 19-year-old self got stomped in a pit during the first six seconds of this song. I was all bleeding and shit, no thanks. but Geoff did spot me before the show and come up to me to say how cool my tattoos are (I have the Thursday doves on my forearms). but really, that’s what you get when Thursday plays their home state, you’re 5’3, and way too close to the front. to this day I’m claustrophobic in shows like that. haha.

#34 – Ellie Goulding – Heartbeats (Cover)

“Both under influence, we had divine sense, to know what to say, mind is a razor blade…” Every time. At a disadvantage now that I’ll just have to roll with… “You knew the hands of a devil, and you kept us awake with wolves teeth sharing different heartbeats…”

#35 – Olafur Arnalds – Til Enda

I hope everyone listens to this post… Olafur is my absolute FAVORITE contemporary composer… his has this amazing blend of beats, strings, ahhhhh… it’s just f*cking gorgeous. The colors that I see when I listen to his music keep me forever inspired. (If you’re confused by this statement go here: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia) He makes several appearances on my list… hope ya’ll enjoy.

#36 – MuteMath – Noticed

I still remember the good. The George Washington Bridge never looked so brightly lit.

#37 – Brand New – Millstone

Fall 2010… Those of you who were around knew what was going on… I was painting, writing, dealing and this album was always playing in the background. It inspired a series of paintings (that are still in production) and countless written pieces. “I used to be such a burning example, I used to be so original, I used to care, I was being careful… made sure I showed it to those that I love… I used to sleep without a single stir..” – Paintings can be found here :http://www.flickr.com/photos/hotnightcrasher/sets/72157624817840587/
