Song of the Day:
Less Than Strangers by Tracy Chapman 

I thought I saw you yesterday
I thought I passed you on the street
I swear I saw your face
I was not imagining
that you stole a glance my way.
You walked away from me
my heart it may be broken
but my eyes are dry to see.

You and me had some history
had a semblance of honesty
all that has changed now.
We shared words
only lovers speak
how can it be
we are less than strangers.

Song of the Day:
The First Days of Spring by Noah and the Whale

For I do believe that everyone has one chance to fuck up their lives
but like a cut-down tree, I will rise again
and I’ll be bigger, and stronger, than ever before

Song of the Day:
The Starting Line by Keane

Drag your heart up to the starting line
forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
it’s too easy to get left behind
I know you’ve been kicked around
but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.

Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze
love wont rest till it brings you to your knees
some find it easy, some will never even know
you think you’ve done your journey, 
then you stumble and find that there’s such a long way to go.

I’m really enjoying Keane’s latest album. I don’t think it’s particularly genius, but it’s easy to listen to and they have nice lyrics and melodies. 

Song of the Day:
Lover I Don’t Have To Love by Bright Eyes

I got a hunger and I can’t seem to get full
I need some meaning I can memorize
the kind I have always seems to slip my mind
but you, but you, 
you write such pretty words
but life’s no story book 
love’s an excuse to get hurt 
and to hurt 

Song of the Day:
It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry by Glasvegas 

So this is the grand finale 
the crescendo of demise 
this is the happy ending 
where the bad guy goes down and dies.
This is the end 
with me on my knees and wondering why
cross my heart, hope to die 
it’s my own cheating heart that makes me cry

If I never live in Scotland again after I graduate, I think that listening to Glasvegas will always make me homesick.

Song of the Day:
93 Million Miles by Jason Mraz

Every road is a slippery slope
but there is always a hand that you can hold on to
looking deeper through the telescope
you can see that your home’s inside of you

Just know, that wherever you go,
no, you’re never alone,
you will always get back home

Song of the Day:
Droplets and Drains by Jeff Pianki

So much for heartache, so much for pain, 
so much for waiting and wanting something 
I could never sustain  

Song of the Day:
The Wind by Cat Stevens

I listen to the wind 
to the wind of my soul 
Where I’ll end up well I think, 
only God really knows 
I’ve sat upon the setting sun 
But never, never never never 
I never wanted water once 
No, never, never, never 

I listen to my words but 
they fall far below 
I let my music take me where 
my heart wants to go 
I swam upon the devil’s lake 
But never, never never never 
I’ll never make the same mistake 
No, never, never, never 

Song of the Day:
Don’t Look Back in Anger by Oasis

So I start a revolution from my bed 
‘cause you said the brains I had went to my head 
step outside, summertime’s in bloom 
stand up beside the fireplace 
take that look from off your face 
‘cause you ain’t ever gonna burn my heart out 

I’m feeling nostalgic, missing being seventeen and hanging out with my friends playing Oasis songs and learning how to play Damien Rice on the piano and arranging class parties. 2007 was not the best year, but I’ve realised that as the years slip by, I begin to remember the good things about the year instead of the bad when I think back. That’s a positive realisation. The bad times are temporary, and happiness will be remembered. 

Song of the Day:
Any Other World by Mika 

Smile like you mean it and let yourself let go
‘cause it’s all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
