I have probably listened to this a hundred times, and I still always get goosebumps. Incredible.

Sleep All Summer - The National & St. Vincent

I would change for you but, babe,
that doesn’t mean I’m gonna be a better man

Give the ocean what I took from you
so one day you could find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again

After I heard this song for the first time I didn’t listen to anything else for weeks. 

inventaire:

I generally loathe cover versions, but I will confess my heart pounds for this take on The Smiths. The Dum Dum Girls rarely put a foot wrong, and in this instance they have crafted the perfect reverie for summer. I get all dreamy imagining a sweaty road trip on Highway 1 with a half empty bottle of whisky…

Wow. 

If you welcome every trespass
then every tramp’s a guest.
Give what they would take from you
then every theft’s a gift.
Hold too tightly to what’s in
your hands or in your chest
and the future, it won’t open,
palm readers can’t work fists.

Doomtree - Little Mercy

Terrible Love (Alternate Version) / The National

Lorde | “Royals”

Yeah, whatever this is, it’s great.

Get her entire EP.  

Can’t stop listening to this.

The Thermals - I Let It Go

I was weighted with the hate I held so long
I thought it must be guiding me home.

The Mynabirds - Body of Work

Freedom is what you do with what,
with what’s been done to you

The Magnetic Fields - 100,000 Fireflies

You won’t be happy with me,
but give me one more chance.
You won’t be happy anyway.

wanderhouse - Sugar

Baby, I’ll follow your lead
Take me to the wild
I’ve been lonely.

The Vaccines, Aftershave Ocean

I am overindulging you, it’s so easy though

Dessa - Alibi

But the word on the street is a page out of Blake,
your man made money but he made a mistake

sidewalksecrets:

Stars | Hold On When You Get Love And Let Go When You Give It

I don’t know what it is about this song that has me so swoony.

Take the weakest thing in you, and then beat the bastards with it.

Perfect.

Girl in the War - Josh Ritter

I got a girl in the war, Paul
the only thing I know to do
is turn up the music
and pray that she makes it through.
