Since the iPod cord in my car no longer works, I've been forced to go back to listening to CDs while I drive. This morning I threw in a mix I made a while back. There's no date on it so I don't know when this was, but man, I must have been feeling down when I put it together. All the songs are sad.
La Rocca - Some You Give Away
What ever happened
to the promises you made
Those little notions
of your breakthrough day
My one mistake was
in making some room
Leaving doors unlocked
that you pushed through
And taking too much time...
Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
Neko Case - I Wish I Was The Moon Tonight
Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name
'Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same
I'm so lonely
I wish I was the moon tonight
Iron & Wine - Naked As We Came
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes 'round the yard
Rhett Miller - Fireflies
Never say
You'll never leave
Cuz you'll never know til you try
In a jar
fireflies
Only last for one night
The Thorns - No Blue Sky
Cloud and rain, smoke and smog here
Won't see too many stars tonight
Biding time, waitin’ on a sunset
One last glance of gold, then goodbye
And so on and so on. One wrist-slicing song after another.
I have to say, I really enjoyed it.
