It's been raining all week in Baltimore, so I made a playlist that encapsulates my rainy mood (sorry, they tend to be a bit depressing!). I've included some of my favorite lyrics and links to most videos here. Enjoy!
1)
Winter Song. Sarah Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. "This is my winter song; December never felt so wrong; cause you're not where you belong; inside my arms."
2)
Hymn #35. Joe Pug. "I have done wrong; I will do wrong; there's nothing wrong with doing wrong."
3)
Hazy. Rosi Golan. "You don't know this now but there's some things that need to be said; and it's all I can hear; it's more than I can bare."
4)
All that I want. The Weepies. "Above the roof tops, the full moon dips its golden spoon; I wait on clip-clops, deer might fly; why not? I met you."
5)
Raining in Baltimore. Counting Crows. "There's things I remember and things I forget; I miss you, I guess that I should; Three thousand five hundred miles away; What would you change if you could?"
6) Wedding Day. Rosie Thomas. "I'm gonna drive under skyline and sunshine; drink good wine in vineyards and get asked to dance; i'm gonna be carefree and let nothing pass me by never ever again."
7)
Naked as We Came. Iron & Wine. "She says if I die before you darling; don't you waste me in the ground; I lay smiling like our sleeping children; one of us will die inside these arms."
8)
Let Him Fly. Patty Griffin. "And there ain't no talking to this man; he's been trying to tell me so; It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go."
9)
World Spins Madly On. The Weepies. "Everything that I said I'd do; like make the world brand new; and take the time for you; I just got lost and slept right through the dawn; and the world spins madly on."
10)
That Year. Brandi Carlile. "Ten years I never spoke your name; now it feels good to say it; you're my friend again." (this video is amazing. Actually, Brandi Carlile is my music crush right now).
11)
Can't Go Back Now. The Weepies. "I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else; but in the end, the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself."
12)
February. Dar Williams. "And then the snow came; we were always out shoveling; And we'd dropped to sleep exhausted; and we'd wake up, and it's snowing."
13)
Fix You. Coldplay. "And the tears coming streaming down your face; when you lose something you can't replace; when you love someone, but it goes to waste; could it be worse?"
14)
Comfort. Deb Talan. "So cry; why not? we all do; And turn to one you love; and smile a smile that lights up all the room; Follow your dreams into every out-door; it seems that's what we're here for."
15)
Winter. Josh Radin. "The walk has all been cleared by now; your voice is all I hear somehow; calling out winter; your voice is the splinter inside me."
16)
Useless Desires. Patty Griffin. "Every day I take a bitter pill that gets me on my way; for the little aches and pains; the ones I have from day to day; To help me think a little less about the things I miss; to help me not to wonder how I ended up like this."
17)
Sleeping to Dream. Jason Mraz. "I found myself in the riches (your eyes, your lips, your hair); and you were everywhere; I woke up in the ditches; I hit the light and I thought you might be here; but you were nowhere."
18)
The Way I am. Ingrid Michaelson. "Cause I love you more than I could ever promise; and you take me the way I am." (note: there are clowns in this music video- freaky!)
19)
Hymn #101. Joe Pug. "The more I buy, the more I'm bought; and the more I'm bought, the less I cost."
20)
Forgiven. Deb Talan. "And it's time to go; I cannot stay, you cannot know; My love, so dear, will it be faith or fear?"
21) Christina. Patty Griffin. "If you had the real thing, how would you tell?; Liars can say it all just as well."
22)
The Beauty of the Rain. Dar Williams. "You're just two umbrellas one late afternoon; you don't know the next thing you will say; this is your favorite kind of day; it has no walls, the beauty of the rain is how it falls."
23)
Death Came and Got Me. Rosie Thomas. "When will love ever find me?; All my life all I've craved is to be seen; who cares anyway?; Cuz when it's over all that matters is the love you gave away."
