Have you ever listened to a song and found yourself lost in its lyrics and rhythms? Here is a list of ten songs that I play when I feel like being brought into another world. So put in your headphones, plug in your twinkly lights, lay down and just listen.
1. "Gooey" by Glass Animals
My favorite lyric: "You just wanna know those peanut butter vibes."
2. "To Build A Home" by The Cinematic Orchestra
My favorite lyric: "By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top. I climbed the tree to see the world."
3. "Car Radio" by Twenty-One Pilots
My favorite lyric: The whole song is freakin' lyrically beautiful. But if I had to choose: "Faith is to be awake and to be awake is for us to think and for us to think is to be alive and I will try with every rhyme to come across like I am dying to let you know you need to try to think."
4. "Bloodflood pt. II" by alt-J
My favorite lyric: "Silent knife, unholy knife. I've fallen for the black outside my window."
5. "Technicolor Beat" by Oh Wonder
My favorite lyric: "I feel safe in the 5am light."
6. "Blue Spotted Tail" by Fleet Foxes
My favorite lyric: "Why is life made only for to end? Why do I do all this waiting then?"
7. "Broadripple is Burning" by Margot and the Nuclear So & So's
My favorite lyric: "And don't fucking move, 'Cause everything you thought you had will go to shit. We've got a lot. Don't you dare forget that."
Note: I prefer the acoustic version.
8. "Work Song" by Hozier
My favorite lyric: "No grave can hold my body down. I'll crawl home to her"
9. "Youth" by Daughter
My favorite lyric: "And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones. 'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone. We're setting fire to our insides for fun. Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home, it was a flood that wrecked this home."
10. "Fall Creek Boys Choir" by James Blake and Bon Iver
My favorite lyric: "Daring on the peak, telling on the teeth. I've been down to the open road. I'll wait for you, you know. And we both end up alone And if only we could have known."
Here's an extra one cause I like you so much...
11. "Warm On A Cold Night" by Honne
My favorite lyric: "And I can’t help but wonder just how we ended up alright. And I love you like no other. And this has never felt so right"
By the way, this is in no particular order. Just enjoy.
