Fleet Foxes — Montezuma

So now I am older, 
Than my mother and father, 
When they had their daughter, 
Now what does that say about me.
Oh how could I dream of, 
Such a selfless and true love, 
Could I wash my hands of?
Just lookin out for me

Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me

The Black Keys — Money Maker

Happy Black Keys Thursday, guys! So excited to see them at MSG tonight!

Oh, she wants milk and honey
Oh, she wants filthy money
But oh, that’s not the way it goes
I wanna buy some time but don’t have a dime

Hey my my she’s a money maker
Hey my my she’s gonna take ya
Way down down she’s bound to break ya
Hey may she’s a money maker

The Monkees — Daydream Believer

Cheer up, sleepy Jean,
Oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

Buzzcocks — Ever Fallen in Love

Ever fallen in love with someone?
Ever fallen in love?
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love? (Love…)
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

Sufjan Stevens — Chicago

In honor of my trip! Although this song is pretty much the greatest, it really has nothing to do with my trip other than the name. Oh well! 

Art Garfunkel — Perfect Moment

I wasn’t ready for the last time
But wasn’t I supposed to let you go 
Into the blue but still I’m holding you
Though you’re a million miles away

There we are in a perfect moment
A perfect moment in time
For a moment you were mine

Adele — I’ll Be Waiting

The heavens I cried, 
I know I left you speechless, 
But now the sky has cleared and it’s blue, 
And I see my future in you, 

I’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready to love me again, 
I put my hands up, 
I’ll do everything different, 
I’ll be better to you, 
I’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready to love me again, 
I put my hands up, 
I’ll be somebody different, 
I’ll be better to you

Frédéric Chopin — Nocturne in C-Sharp minor Op. 72

Chopin just understands me today.

Nada Surf — Inside of Love 

I wanna know what it’s like
On the inside of love
I’m standing at the gates
I see the beauty above

I wanna know what it’s like
On the inside of love
I can’t find my way in
I try again and again

The Section Quartet — Such Great Heights (Postal Service Cover)

This is really hitting the spot right now. Fierce paper writing, eeeeeeehhhh.

Joni Mitchell — A Case of You

I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Florence + The Machine — Seven Devils

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I’ll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done

Joan Baez — Diamonds and Rust

Joan Baez will always be one of my favorite singers. Her lyrics are like poetry and her voice is what I imagine an angel would sound like. 

Yes I loved you dearly 
And if you’re offering me diamonds and rust 
I’ve already paid
