This one is less commentated than the others, mostly because I got tired of trying to come up with stuff to say.
I’m really not sure why this one was alphabetized and the others weren’t. I don’t profess to understand iTunes at all – it’s a godawful mess of a program, but it works alright for what I use it for – managing my music library and nothing else.


  1. I have no idea how I wound up with this song, but I only noticed that it was in my iTunes library my junior year of high school when I was making a mixtape as a Secret Santa present for someone. 
  2. For some reason, I have a note in my mind next to the name John Mayer that just says ‘douchebag.’ I have no idea how it got there. 
  3. Probably my favorite little-known Coldplay song, to be honest. Very quiet, though, so you might have to bump the volume up. 
  4. This one is actually a straight rip from YouTube, since I couldn’t find it anywhere to purchase with actual audio quality. 
  5. There was about a 0% chance that this collaboration would be bad, and it was even better than I’d originally hoped. 
  6. This is the Deconstructed version, of course. 
  7. This makes me want to listen to “Sinking Like A Sunset” 
  8. Why yes, this is the song I sang a cover of once. Bonus points if you can find that on YouTube. 
  9. I’ve sung so many different versions of this song, I get them all confused these days. 
  10. I think this is the first song I ever heard by Blue October, and it’s still one of my favorites. 
  11. Childhood flashbacks in 3… 2… 
  12. I found this one while trawling through their website hoping for news about new music – it was a free download. I love when people do that. 
  13. I think it’s a rule that post-rock bands have weird names. 
  14. A lot of my (choir) friends have sung covers of this song, to the point where the original actually sounds weird to me. 
  15. This is the default ringtone on my phone, because I think I’m funny. 
  16. This one is in my ‘sleep’ playlist for some reason. I’m leaving it there.
