Song of the Day:
Fireproof by The National
You keep a lot of secrets
and I keep none
wish I could go back
and keep some
You’re fireproof
nothing breaks your heart
you’re fireproof
it’s just the way you are
I still need to give this album a few more listens to come to a decision (I’ve listened to it about three or four times through so far) but I really love this song.

“ Happiness was what he wanted — a slowly rising scale of gratifications of the normal appetites — and he had a strong conviction that the materials, if not the inspiration of happiness, could be bought with money.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald, Flappers and Philosophers

Song of the Day:
Vienna by Billy Joel
Slow down, you’re doing fine
you can’t be everything you want to be before your time
although it’s so romantic on the borderline tonight
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead
you’re so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
though you can see when you’re wrong
you know you can’t always see when you’re right
You got your passion, you got your pride
but don’t you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true
when will you realise Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child
take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
it’s alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
when will you realise Vienna waits for you?
I always forget how much I love this song, and then I listen to it again and close my eyes and remember why I love music.
