Home (RAC Mix) - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

“If you are a bird, then I’m a bird!” She said as she jumped into my arms.

“You’re such a dork, you know that?” I smirked.

She pouted, it was the most adorable pout I have ever seen. I couldn’t resist but smile every time she did.

“I know… but you like it.” Her long delicate fingers traced the outline of my lips.

I pulled her closer and tenderly whispered into her ear “Since I’m a bird, I’m going to swoop through the curves of your beautiful body and build a nest in your heart.”

“Home is wherever I’m with you.”

Man On Fire - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

The one thing I want the most is the whole world to coming together and loving one another freely and happily. I want everyone to dance! To revel in the magic of life, to relish in the beauty of music, and to smile because the world gives us infinite reasons to do so. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros encapsulates joy and communal love unlike any other band. They are back with another brilliant album bring to bring people together in glorious song and dance.

“I want the whole damn world to come dance with me.”

Half In Love With Elizabeth (Delorean Remix) - Mystery Jets

Sooner or later the bubble will burst and I will no longer be able to restrain myself from showing you how I truly feel. Your body will intertwine with mine and we will become one in a harmonious crescendo of passion. Every daydream will become reality. Every word exchanged will be validated. Every heartbeat will beat for you. You are the glory of my reverie, the wonder of my dreams, the marvel of my life, and the incandescent flourish that warms my soul.

“Like paper butterflies they flutter around and burn holes in your side.”

Sleepyhead (Neo Tokyo Remix) - Passion Pit

Summertime is upon us, that means it’s time for Passion Pit’s bliss-inducing rhythms. Neo Tokyo’s remix brings the hipster-dazed weirdness up a notch and attacks you with an overdose of crazed summer lovin’. Enjoy.

“And everything is going to the beat.”

1904 - The Tallest Man On Earth

No longer do I look out towards the horizon and long to be somewhere else. No longer do I feel excluded when I listen to songs that pertain to matters of the heart. No longer am I envious of the birds that swiftly sway through the skies. Goodbye old woes. Life energizes my spirits once again as I feel the breeze of the American heartland flowing through my hair.

“And some would say it’s not even healthy but body is young and mind is sure that something is so right with your thinking.”

Trembling Hands - The Temper Trap

Since the first instant my mind was blown away when I heard Sweet Disposition in the 500 Days of Summer trailer, which is one of the best trailers ever made by the way, I knew that The Temper Trap will have a place in my heart and iPod until the day I die. Every one has that one band that means the world to them and when you listen to any song from that one band it makes your heart flutter with joy. For our parents that band might be The Beatles or Simon & Garfunkel, for our older siblings it might be Nirvana or Michael Jackson, and for our grandparents it might be Frank Sinatra or Louis Armstrong. There are countless amount of bands that are profoundly meaningful to countless people. That one band for me is The Temper Trap. I feel as though every song has been written specifically for me. I can relate to every lyric and I’m moved by every note. I listen to them in times of great sorrow and in times of overwhelming happiness. It doesn’t matter when I listen to The Temper Trap I’m immediately catapulted into an intense euphoria, which no drug can dare compare. When I saw them live, two long years ago, my heart stopped because I knew the experience I was going through is one of those rare magical moments that will be forever imprinted in my memory.

Now, after almost three years of fawning on a daily basis to The Temper Trap, a new album is released. Every facet of this self-titled album is magic. Seriously, you are listening to music that will stand the test of time.

“Time seems to stop while the millions keep moving.”

Chicago - Sufjan Stevens

I made alot of mistakes. Regrets linger in my mind from time to time, wishing I could go into the past and change the outcome. However, all things go. Even regrets wither away because I realize that whatever went wrong in the past was an invaluable lesson that has made me a better person. All things go. Every thing in our lives has a beginning and an end. Even though it’s sometimes hard, I try to live in the moment because I never know when it will all end.

“I made alot of mistakes, in my mind, in my mind.”

Time Meant Nothing - TEEPEE

This song is an onslaught of delays and reverbs, you cannot get anymore indie than this. I can’t wait for TEEPEE’s upcoming album and relish in the beautiful amalgamation of sound effects and dreamy vocals.

“It’s proven that time will fly.”

Love & Light - Sandro Perri

Hold on. Stand still. Yes, you, stand still. Take a deep breath and for once in your life admire the beauty around you. You could be anywhere; in a park, college library, coffeeshop, airport, home, or anywhere. Pay close attention, let the sound waves flow into your ears and listen to every note and tone. Do you listen to the high fidelity? You can almost hear the individual plucks of the guitar and the percussion trembling the air. Close your eyes, and take it all in! Now open your eyes wide and absorb the colors and it’s gentle differences in hue and brightness. Observe the tiny imperfections that you have never bothered to noticed, see how beautiful they are? It’s the tiny imperfections that make things memorable for the eyes. Now breath in and let the delightful array of scents fill your lungs. Some scents might be off-putting and others may be absolutely gratifying, but every scent is important because they tell us immense amounts of information. Now take your hands and feel the textures around you. The friction is different, some things feel inviting and others feel rough. Touch can also detect the tiny imperfections that make something truly beautiful. At this very moment, it doesn’t matter where you are or what you are doing, you are surrounded by beauty so take some time in your life and enjoy every bit of it.

“It feels good to be.”
