I’m pretty selective when it comes to love songs. Experience has caused me to respond to eager declarations of affection with skepticism and a little too often biting retaliation. Promises such as “you can count on me like one two three” won’t fool me twice. But Paul seems to get it. He doesn’t claim to love unconditionally, and he doesn’t claim to be Romeo, either. “But I can see you standing in mid air.” Doesn’t make any sense. But I’ve definitely seen what he’s seen. How someone so ordinary can be so outstanding, someone so regular can be suddenly so precious. How you can spot them from across a room without even looking straight at them. You catch their every offhand glance, smile, sigh. You remember what they laugh at, what they enjoy, what they’re repulsed by. You know what they love and love what they love and love that they love it. Because you can see them standing in mid air.

Local Natives really have a specific feel to their music. The kind that you don't feel super strongly about, but you can't stop listening to anyways. "Ceilings" finds a perfect balance between slow yet perpetual, chill yet feel-good. Definitely recommend their other music also.

Story of your life? Maybe you wouldn’t know; you only have access to one side of the situation. A girl and a boy share some small talks. Everything seems utterly insignificant on the outside.
“Where are you heading?”
“I’m just walking.”
“What’s on your mind?”
“Just this and that...”
“Could I walk with you?”
“Why not.”
Yet this person has nudged your heart - not too harshly that you plunge into blind infatuation, not too lightly that you forget it all after a day, but just enough to make things interesting. Every flat remark seems too flat to be flat. What’s hidden inside that mind? Something creative, something beautiful? Well, you have to find out, right?
“Hold on.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
He’s not being cold, he’s not warming up to you either. So you keep paying attention to see what sense you can make of this...game. He looks you in the eyes with no apparent signs of excitement or nervousness. Maybe he doesn’t care about you in that way. If you were to be honest with yourself, you really like this person. He’s the real deal. But all these mind games and uncertainty make you take one, two steps back. You act like you’re unfazed. You can’t care, because he doesn’t.
“Hey,”
“What’s up?”
“Aren’t you a little bored?”
“Not really.”
“...Okay.”
“Okay.”
“Yeah.”

It has been a long while hasn't it? Things have changed. You have both witnessed the strange gift of healing that time holds and have found yourselves so many steps further away than when your hands had last touched. Time really hasn't disappointed. Time did exactly what everyone assured it would do. Yet sometimes he seeps into your thoughts...and a poisonous bitterness flows over and around, reminding you of all that's been bruised and wasted. He was your man in a broken fairytale, and that was okay. But once he became a stranger, the fairytale once shared faded into a one-sided, half-forgotten dream. And he had broken ever single f***in rule, and you have loved him like a fool.

One of those late night songs that allows you to close your eyes and let the world just float away. Just the right amount of mysterious indie and clean acoustic to spark interest, too.
This man’s voice... who knows how, but it understands pain, your pain. The chords strummed seem to have the ethereal ability to see your tears and cry with you. And strangely, suddenly, a stranger feels closer than an old friend.

Direct translation of the title would be “You like spring?” and not in the tone of “Do you like spring?” but more like “So, you like spring, huh?” with tints of sarcasm and bitterness.
This is a Korean culture thing for sure - I don’t think many other nations have a huge cherry blossom craze and culture. And of course, as with any other case of something cute and lovely, the spring cherry blossoms have been permanently associated with romantic walks in the park, cute dates, the shy step-by-step development of a relationship, and the list goes on.
Amongst the substantial number of fluffy “spring romance” songs released yearly during this season, this song offers a breath of fresh air for the suffocating singles spread far and wide, those of us who are watching movies alone, those of us who are enjoying the warming weather and cherry blossoms by ourselves.
“봄이 그렇게도 좋냐 멍청이들아
벚꽃이 그렇게도 예쁘디 바보들아
결국 꽃잎은 떨어지지 니네도 떨어져라
몽땅 망해라
손 잡지 마 팔짱 끼지 마 끌어 안지 마
제발 아무것도 하지 좀 마
설레지 마 심쿵하지 마 행복하지 마
내 눈에 띄지 마”
translated,
“Is spring really that great, you fools?
Are cherry blossoms really that pretty, you idiots?
Their petals eventually fall; you all should fall too
Screw all of you
Don’t hold hands, don’t link arms, don’t hug each other
Could you just please stop it all?
Don’t get butterflies, don’t skip a heartbeat, don’t be happy
Get out of my sight”
Preach it, 10cm. Thanks for the other side of the story.

I don’t tend to enjoy this genre of music, but this song is pretty spot on. Classic tune to stomp your foot, throw your hands in the air, and yell what the heck to. A song that, amidst all your crap and hardships, allows you 3 and a half minutes of escape from reality. Hey, things are good. Really good.

Less is more? Yes, I guess.
Guitar strumming at its finest…okay maybe not its finest, but it’s pretty close. Most people just know Vance Joy’s “Riptide,” and don’t get me wrong - I love that song. But this song shows that this guy isn’t just a one time luck prodigy thing. He has other good songs, too!
Mmm yes.

It’s just one of those songs. It places you into a specific space. The world fades away, time forgets its ground, and in that moment, everything is as it should be. Just kidding, nothing is ever all as it should be. But this is pretty darn as close as it gets.
Maybe in the next life, things will be different. Truly, I believe that when this world passes, things will be different. But for now, while we’re on this earth...The most precious kind of paradise we must welcome with open arms is the kind that acknowledges the brokenness. This goes further than acknowledge; it faces brokenness straight on and embraces it. Paradise in which the hurt souls forgive the villains. Paradise in which all is not well. The villains still win, I’m sorry. The simple souls are exploited and hurt. It is indeed not fair. Paradise struck down, but not destroyed. But paradise, nevertheless. And that’s okay. It’s okay.

Nothing too special about the lyrics. It’s just a simple love song...with some extra heart warming lyrics. Just a song that gives me all the feels all at once.
“We are surrounded by all of these lies
And people who talk too much
You’ve got that kind of look in your eyes
As if no one knows anything but us.”
Wait. Did Ed Sheeran just describe the precise feeling that every girl (I can’t speak for guys but I guess them too) yearns for so strongly? That exchange of eyes, thoughts, souls - in that one glance. And in that moment, the world fades away and nothing matters but the fact that connection, intimacy has been established. Yes, Ed Sheeran. YES.

You know that moment when you hear a song on the radio, in the dining hall, in the supermarket, and it’s the song. It nudges you back a couple months, maybe years...yes, you know this song, you know it quite well. It’s as if a long lost friend of yours dropped by to have some tea and talk of good times...maybe bad times. And together you guys would throw your heads back and laugh at the memories, cherished and suppressed - now all beautified by the tinting, softening touch of past. How things have changed.
How things have changed...
But do you know what hasn’t changed? This song.

Indie chill. For those semi-chill but sunny days. Makes me feel a controlled kind of satisfaction. Perfect kind of happy.

Quite impressive. Not just a song about drugs, sex, getting wasted. And surprisingly relevant.

Tastes of upbeat and hints of tragedy. Perfect.

One of the three songs (including Coldplay’s Paradise and Ed Sheeran’s The A Team) that I listened on an infinite loop during the winter of my senior year of high school. Not sure when these songs were released or if they’re at all related, but in my mind they eternally are the three songs that kept me company during the annual lonely winter nights.
Let’s face the facts; I haven’t had a lover who had his friends collect his records, changed his number, and violently broke all contact with me. But I did passionately tune into this angry vent of feelings, thinking of my crush that I was in the process of bitterly forgetting.
Another item to add to my list of future guitar covers.

Hands down, The Great Gatsby had a stellar soundtrack. I thoroughly enjoyed the perfect mix of old and modern genres. And this song has to be one of my favorite. Although the go-to song that received most love was “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey, I want to appreciate this one. A heap of crazy vocals, a touch of depressing, and a whole lot of nostalgia. Powerfully Gatsby.
