Tunes


Here's some of my favorite songs and what I think are the best lines out of each of them.
1. Wide Eyes - Local Natives, Quietly he sat, between the folds of the tree trunk.2. Blue Ridge Mountains - Fleet Foxes, You're ever welcome with me anytime you like Let's drive to the countryside, leave behind some green-eyed look-alikes.3. Wash - Bon Iver,  Home, were savage cry, come we finally cry.
4. Sorry - The Moth & The Flame,  How was it we were always running out of love But never walked away?
5. Bold - The Districts, Well I've been touched by the rush of the river one time.
6. Isabella of Castile - STRFKR, I want to keep you to myself,like a dream, I can tell you'll never be all mine.
7. The Girl -  City and Colour, When you cry a piece of my heart diesKnowing that I may have been the cause.
8. Staring at the Sun - TV On The Radio, Note the trees because The dirt is temporary. 
9. Putting The Dog To Sleep - The Antlers,  “I can’t prove to you you’re not gonna die alone,But trust me to take you home." 
10. Pull Me Closer - Static Waves, Stand up, take a breathtime to fake one more show.
11. Tin Man - Future Islands, You offer me a branch of peace that bleeds throughThe thorns that welcomed me.
12. Lost Coastlines - Okkervil River, The ship's deck now sags from the weight of our tracks.
13. House On Fire - Black Taxi, All the girls turn up into sun, find out too late the damage is done
14. Sad Sad City - Ghostland Observatory, Yeah, outer space, it's a lovely placeThe long lost love in flower vase. 
15. Smoke Breathing Monsters - Desert Noises,  Rocketeer in his swimsuit, he’s diving into the corners of my mind. 
I have a lot more favorite songs than this but no one cares about my blog.  So I don't care!

I am.

"I am a boy raking through the ashes,
 a boy struggling to find 
embers of life in the bottom of a bottomless fireplace."
I am the kid at school dances that dances like an 
idiot because, I don't give a shit.
I am the 'douche' that drives a big lifted Jeep
Like, half the football team.
I am a proud member of the Sack Club.
I am the boy that asks his mommy to cut the crust
off of his sandwiches, because she has done it sinceI was 3, and it reminds me of when life wasn't always 
about what the person next to you thinks.  
I am that kid that shouts random stuff out in the middle 
of class to be funny, that no one laughs at.
I am tired of my parents telling me how to live my life.
I am on a lonely road, a road less traveled, the road that
no one else dares to travel.
I am sure I will always be different, because I am who I am.

I am..
