Songs I love, Vol. III & IV

The HEAD issue

To make up for July 5th.. Vol. III


Oh Radiohead, how I love thee. No matter what mood I am in, you seem to soothe me. I could never leave Radiohead out of my library of music. I have heard of, and was subsequently jealous of, college students taking classes that revolved around deciphering their lyrics. I have only had one such opportunity in my modern lit class in my junior year. That experience further cemented my love for this innovative group of individuals. While I do not pride my love of this song for the lyrics, I do associate it with the feeling I get when my lover and I listen to it together. It's such a moody song. It always calms the atmosphere, or livens it up thereafter.
It has made itself present in many occasions deemed important to my lover and I and will forever be embedded into the depths of our brains.


and for today, July 6th.. Vol. IV



Portishead.. often described as "trip-hop," I find their musical stylings to be ever so tasteful and pleasing to the ear. This song in particular sends vibes of euphoria and love down my spine and throughout my body every time I listen to it while sitting next to my lover. Possessive it may be, but overall I think it's adorable.

All the stars may shine bright
All the clouds may be white
But when you smile
Ohh how I feel so good
That I can hardly wait

To hold you
Enfold you
Never enough
Render your heart to me


It just happened to be coincidental that these groups both have the word head in them, and that both songs are calming/feel-good anthems for me. They are not, however, coincidentally songs that remind me of my lover. That part was intentional. Having celebrated a milestone for the both of us on July 5th, I thought it appropriate to dedicate this entry to my lover.

I love him with all my heart. I feel like a wreck without him and he knows it. I get all fussy and teary-eyed at the thought of him leaving, even if for a couple days, because I am just that much of a pansy. But as time goes by and I distract myself with enough things such as blogging, (or watching Julie&Julia- which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be), or heaven forbid- studying for grad school, I realize that time spent away is not as bad as I make it out to be.

All in all, life is good and I am more in love than ever before.
