(^music plus sunshine equals love)

I've been listening to music lately, which isn't something I've done in about 4-6 years. Yes, I listen to music but I haven't loved music since sobbing into the great Chris Dudley's arms as he stood in the St. Louis cold after playing a fantastic show with his band UnderOath. That was when I was 15. I'm 21 now and I can't remember the last concert I went to.

I've found music I like again. And I've unearthed some of my old favorites. At the very least, listen to this first one (it's my favorite right now):

Elysian Fields by Casey Frazier Read the lyrics here




The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel Read the lyrics here



Heartbreak World by Matt Nathanson Read the lyrics here




Control Freak by Copeland (RIP) Read the lyrics here



Best of Me- The Starting Line Read the lyrics here



View From Heaven- Yellowcard Read the lyrics



Some Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape- UnderOath Read the lyrics here



and finally the gateway drug, the catalyst, to all the music I've ever been interested in since 7th grade started with one band: Dashboard Confessional .

Stolen by Dashboard Confessional (but everything Dashboard is good). Read the lyrics here

Can't Go Back Now

"Can't Go Back Now" by The Weepies. They're a husband-wife duo.

Yesterday when you were young
Everything you needed done was done for you
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone, what can you do?

You and me walk on, walk on, walk on
'Cause you can't go back now

You know there will be days
When you're so tired
That you can't take another step
The night will have no stars
And you'll think you've gone as far
As you will ever get

You and me walk on, walk on, walk on
'Cause you can't go back now

And yeah, yeah, you go where you want to go
Yeah, yeah, be what you want to be
If you ever turn around, you'll see me

I can't really say
Why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end, the only steps that matter
Are the ones you take all by yourself

You and me walk on, walk on, walk on
Yeah, you and me walk on, walk on, walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
Walk on, walk on, walk on
You can't go back now

You'll Be Fine

"You'll be Fine" by Tim DeLaughter (of the Polyphonic Spree)

I'm surprised that a popular Showtime show like The United States of Tara has no soundtrack.. Nor can I find lyrics or a download (even on iTunes or isohunt) for this song.

My Favorite Song

The World Spins Madly On- The Weepies

This is my favorite song. It's a cute video...coincidentally made out of clay.
