Well This Seems Pretty Inevitable… – We Found Love (at The Hunger Games)

Girl on fire in the light/ Now we’re fighting side by side/ As your arrow flashes by/ What it takes to stay alive/ It’s the way I’m feeling/ I just cannot lie/ So I’ve gotta let it show…

And I have to say: kinda catchy. Ah, fandom mania–you always know how to turn my mood around. I’m expecting ‘Peeta Rock Anthem’ to be the next big hit.

With that said, go watch The Hunger Games. Its one awesome mind-trip of a movie.

All my love!

Tune of the Day: Joe Purdy – I Love The Rain The Most

That moment of beautiful clarity and oneness that you feel when the rain stops and leaves behind a mist of sparkling and cool droplets hanging at every corner, is perfectly encapsulated in this song. It fills me with a childish and giddy spark of happiness every single time I hear it.

I love the rain the most when it stops/ We can see the big white houses, yeah, and the docks/ And we can jump in the river/ Don’t know if the water or sky is clearer/ But I know that I love the rain the most when it stops ♥

Tune of the Day: Ben Folds – The Luckiest

If you have ever experienced a great, true, pure love then you are one of the lucky few. I honestly don’t believe in the power of material things or great, grand gestures as real indicators of love. My love is a kind of love that even when made the subject of the longest letters and the most breathtaking songs, still can’t compare to the simple beauty of the real deal.

Next door there’s an old man who lived to his nineties/ And one day passed away in his sleep/ And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days/And passed away/ I’m sorry, I know that’s a strange way to tell you that I know we belong/That I know that I am the luckiest  ♥

Tune of the Day: Angus and Julia Stone – Big Jet Plane

This song is all about dreaming in the midst of our humdrum lives and the daily lull that marks most of our days. If we can still dream of things as wild, free, and invigorating as big jet planes by the end of the day, then we’ll be just fine.

Gonna hold ya/ Gonna kiss ya in my arms/ Gonna take ya/ Away from harm/ Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane ♥

Tune of the Day: Coldplay – Postcards from Far Away

Whenever I’m feeling a little homesick I play this instrumental song and it really feels the same way that getting a short postcard from someone far away might. Warms your heart and soothes your nostalgia, not completely but just enough.

Tune of the Day: Wilco – One Sunday Morning

People either hate or love this song. It’s spare, its long, and its filled with an odd sense of anxious optimism. It’s basically everything a Sunday ever is.

Outside I look lived in/ Like the bones in a shrine/ How am I forgiven?/ Oh, I’ll give it time. ♥

Tune of the Day: Allison Weiss – July 25, 2007

There’s an innocence and a charm in this little heartbroken song that makes you smile despite yourself and, at least for the two minutes that it lasts, you might even feel okay about it all.

I started healing/ Soon as I regained the feeling/ In my fingers pressed so hard/ Against that steel the night before/ I wrote another love song/ But my heart, it wouldn’t sing along/ My head agreed, I didn’t need/ To try and right the wrongs ♥

Tune of the Day: Amos Lee – All My Friends

This really just kind of explains this.

All my friends/ are dear to me/ Oh when the storm comes/ they’re as close as family/ All my friends/ are the ones I chose/If I hear them knocking/ you know I can’t refuse ♥

Tune of the Day: Tracy Chapman – Change

The questions this song puts to me cuts right down to the bottom of my soul, and Tracy Chapman’s raspy voice and consistently pronounced guitar strums just embody all the desperation, the fear, and the hope there is in being a goddamn human.

If you knew that you would die today/ saw the face of God and love/ would you change? ♥

Tune of the Day: Ian Britt – Shape of Us

There’s a comfort and solace to this song that wraps you up in the end of the day and calms your nerves right down. It’s like giving someone you love a kiss goodnight, and lingering in that moment of blessed reassurance knowing that you’ll always have them on your side.

You’re no longer alone/ We’ve found a space to name our own/ There ain’t no need to fret or fuss/ We’ve got all the strength we need in the shape of us ♥
