BBMak - Out of My Heart (Into Your Head)

Can you deny the epicness that was BBMak? No, you can’t, so don’t even try.

Foals - Miami

Not sure what it is about this song that makes me listen to it on repeat.

Dave Matthews Band - The Best of What’s Around

Hey, my friend,
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me?
Would you say you’re feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off of your mind…

This is one of my favorite DMB songs. I always seem to remember it (and play it) when I’m feeling lonely/in moments like these. It’s my crazy brain’s undeniable attempt at making the best of what’s bouncing around in it or something I suppose or whatever if this makes any sense which it probably doesn’t so just go with it.

Sara Bareilles - Send Me the Moon

Sweet sun, send me the moon.
Empty the skies out,
Bringing me one step closer to you.
Send it soon and I will breathe in, breathe out,
Until you come in and out of view… of view…

This song… yeah. Yeah.

Adele - I Can’t Make You Love Me (Live)

Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something that it won’t
And here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I will feel the power
But you won’t, no you won’t
Cause I can’t make you love me when you don’t
When you don’t…

Mat Kearney - Ships in the Night

As terrible as this’ll sound, I would enjoy this dude’s music a lot more if he wasn’t so deeply associated with the Christian music scene.

Regardless, I’m really digging this. I’m especially diggin’ this on a day like today where I can’t seem to get control of my thoughts. I’m really trying to fix my brokenness though.

“Trying to find a heart that’s not walking away… trying to find our way down a road we don’t know…”

Jon McLaughlin & Beyoncé - Smack/Smash Into You

I’ll never understand why these two never got together to make this an official duet. This track just feels right.

Damien Rice - Coconut Skins

But if anyone should ask
Tell them I’ve been lickin’ coconut skins
and we’ve been hanging out
Tell them god just dropped by to forgive our sins
and relieve us our doubt…

One of a few Damien Rice favorites.

The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home

I’ve heard this track on Grey’s Anatomy before but it was only a few minutes ago when I truly heard it. It’s amazing how songs can suddenly hit you differently and take on new meanings. Hello, tears.

“This is a place where I don’t feel alone. This is a place where I feel at home. And I built a home for you, for me…”

Hard-Fi - Fire In the House

This is the second single from Hard-Fi’s forthcoming studio release Killer Sounds.

I have loved every single thing I’ve heard from and about Killer Sounds. I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt this way about an album. Bring on August 22nd (and a high quality torrent since an album I’ve waited four years for isn’t being released in the States anytime soon)!
