“I Belong In Your Arms” by Chairlift
All of me
Honestly
Is dedicated to hold you
Swear to god
Double knot
What would you do if I stole you
Tonight
Why waste time
Cause the world goes on without us
It doesn’t matter what we do
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I’m melting into you
I belong in your arms
STUCK IN MY HEAD.

“No Rest” by Dry The River
I loved you in the best way possible.
They completely blew me away last night. They were so freaking good. I can’t stress that enough! Everyone should listen to this band. Forget the Bon Iver comparisons, guys. They have a sound of their own and it’s amazing. Eargasmic. There, I used that word.

“Lover’s Game” by Geographer
There’s nothing we can do,
We were born to die fools.

“Jesus, Etc.” by Wilco
This may sound weird, but this is the song that best describes my Vegas trip.

“Tourists” by Bright Moments
Kelly Pratt was a member of Beirut who recently left to focus on his new band, Bright Moments. He has also played with Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem. You need to buy his album Natives because it’s perfect. I’m not even exaggerating.

“Little A Strongly More Grow I” by Benoît Pioulard
I’ll often smoke just to see where my breath goes and sometimes sigh just to try the ways emotion shows.
“The bulbs and mirrors appear locked in a never-ending cycle of approach and departure, like doomed lovers - except that the relationship is a futile, narcissist one, for the ‘Other’ is, in this instance, the reflection of the ‘Self’”.

“Cancel On Me” by Bombay Bicycle Club
Dreaming of you pushing up to me,
And I know where it’s gonna lead,
I’m dreaming of you rushing up to me,
You know it’s where you want to be.
Totally my Valentine’s day jam.

“All In Your Head” by Rooney
I told you before
I’m not looking for someone to hold me
Take your hand off my back
the weight is making me heavy
I don’t like public affection
it belongs in the bedroom
Well I don’t want to run around
I got plans in the afternoon
What did you expect?
Well I told you from the start
That I’m not your boyfriend

“A Case Of You” by James Blake
On repeat for the next few days or so. Damn you and your perfect voice, James Blake.
“Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.” Damn right, you should.
