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.
- 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. ↩
- 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. ↩
- Probably my favorite little-known Coldplay song, to be honest. Very quiet, though, so you might have to bump the volume up. ↩
- This one is actually a straight rip from YouTube, since I couldn’t find it anywhere to purchase with actual audio quality. ↩
- There was about a 0% chance that this collaboration would be bad, and it was even better than I’d originally hoped. ↩
- This is the Deconstructed version, of course. ↩
- This makes me want to listen to “Sinking Like A Sunset” ↩
- Why yes, this is the song I sang a cover of once. Bonus points if you can find that on YouTube. ↩
- I’ve sung so many different versions of this song, I get them all confused these days. ↩
- I think this is the first song I ever heard by Blue October, and it’s still one of my favorites. ↩
- Childhood flashbacks in 3… 2… ↩
- 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. ↩
- I think it’s a rule that post-rock bands have weird names. ↩
- A lot of my (choir) friends have sung covers of this song, to the point where the original actually sounds weird to me. ↩
- This is the default ringtone on my phone, because I think I’m funny. ↩
- This one is in my ‘sleep’ playlist for some reason. I’m leaving it there. ↩
