music collection: alas i cannot swim

alas i cannot swim by laura marling

a timeless album, written by a teenager with the sole of woman who has lived a life full of adventure, love, and heartache. i’ve never heard a voice so enchantingly beautiful, and yet, filled with such sadness.

Notes

music collection: love is hell, pt. 1

love is hell, pt. 1 by ryan adams

there are times when i wish i could fall into this album and never come out. it’s evoking, yet soothing. “The Shadowlands” is the most played song in my iTunes library, it currently has over 500 plays.

lighthouse

parker quinn

“lighthouse”

the fog gets thicker
the waves grow tall
and i am on my own
seconds lost by the hour
i’m a losing soul

be my lighthouse and guide me home
i don’t know where to go
be my lighthouse, guide me home
i can’t die here alone

discontentment raised my sails
and had me follow the stars
it forced the rudder
and grabbed the wheel
a declaration of war

be my lighthouse and guide me home
i don’t know where to go
be my lighthouse, guide me home
i can’t die here alone

take this night

be my lighthouse and guide me home
i don’t know where to go
be my lighthouse, guide me home
i can’t die here alone

music collection: for emma, forever ago

for emma, forever ago by bon iver

one of the most beautiful albums ever recorded. it’s so raw and emotional, sincere and full of heartache. it’s a transportation device of utter amazement.

Notes

music collection: sometimes

sometimes by city and colour

this album is beautiful. it makes you nostalgic of a life you haven’t lived and makes you miss someone you’ve never loved.

home

parker quinn

“home”

i got my clothes put away
got my shirts hung up
i got the dishes clean
got my coffee mug
i’d done everything
that you’re supposed to do
the one thing missing
was me with you

i lit the pilot light
i filled up the fridge
i turned down my sheets
because i finally made my bed
i’d done everything
that you’re supposed to do
the one thing missing
was me with you

i never knew home
i never knew my home
i never knew home
til i knew you

now the floor’s a mess
makeup everywhere
there’s knitting yarn
and a drain filled with hair
that’s fine with me
i don’t care
because all those things
tell me you’re still there

i never found home
i never found my home
i never found home
til i found you

and i tried everything
to make this house a home
i put up photographs
taken long ago
i have on display
things i hold so dear
but it never felt right
til you were here

i never knew home
i never knew my home
i never knew home
til i knew you

music collection: transatlanticism

transatlanticism by death cab for cutie

ben gibbard is easily one of the greatest songwriters of our time, and this album is one of his best. so sincere, so nostalgic, so good.
