Playlist Thursday: Some favorites

This week I have been listening to a few new things but mostly the oldie but goodie ones that I've discovered throughout my three college years.

Do you have those songs? The ones that remind you of moments. A few of these songs remind me of summer. First love. New friends. And my old apartment at SingleTree. Feel free to share some songs that do nostalgia for you.

Happy listening.

1. Hiding Out by Sucre

This reminds me SO much for my friend Karly Catto. She is currently serving a mission in Washington, and I miss her quite terribly. This came up on my shuffle and I freaked a little. I was reminded of its absolute beauty. Sucre has the voice of dreams. Just listening to this song reminds me of Karly's profound wisdom and kindness. God bless you, Sister Catto!

2. If Only I by Jon Mclaughlin

I heard this on the Vampires Diaries like so long ago and I was hooked. 

3. Sun by Sleeping at Last

The beauty.  I can't even.

4. Mercury by Sleeping at Last

5. Call Your Girlfriend by Robyn 

This is on my ultimate playlist, because it is ULTIMATE. It really is. The music video. The beats. The dance. Robyn. All of it. Like this song epitomized my sophomore year of college.

6. God Made Man by Young the Giant

7. Cough Syrup by Young the Giant 

8. My Blood by Ellie Goulding

9. I See Fire by Ed Sheeran

I know, it's The Hobbit song...but guys. OH my gosh. Ed Sheeran. His voice melts me. I have to get "+". Why haven't I done that yet?

10. Heart Attack by Demi Lovato

#GirlPower

11. A Life That's Good by Lennon and Maisy

If I am having a bad day, I will listen to this song and everything feels alright. 

12. Shot at the Night by The Killers

This is my newest favorite. It's always in my head.

Valentine's Gift Playlist

I got Tyler CD's for Valentine's Day. It was a gift to myself, because we get to listen to them in the car. Killed two birds with one stone. Staying rad one day at a time.

1. Everlasting Light by The Black Keys

"Let me be your everlasting light. Your sun when there is none. I'm a shepherd for you, and I'll guide you through. Let me be your everlasting light."

The Black Keys...the dreamiest of dreamboats.

2. Howlin' For You by The Black Keys

3. Tighten Up by The Black Keys

In love.

4. Things We Lost in the Fire by Bastille

5. The Silence by Bastille

Bonus tracks are so beyond.

6. Flaws by Bastille

7. Shot at the Night by The Killers

8. Read My Mind by The Killers

Tyler's favorite.

9. When You Were Young by The Killers

My favorite.

10. Don't You Want Me by Bahamas and The Weather Station

Uh. This is greatness. So is the whole Walter Mitty soundtrack.

11. Tin Lover by The Paper Kites

Always have, always will love The Paper Kites.

12. Adore You by Miley Cyrus

Don't judge. This is stuck in my head like every morning. Plus it's sexy. Yeah, I said that. AGAIN! Eh, it's Valentine's Day. Whateverrrr.

Happy listening. Stay gold.

If you ever need to find me I can still be found taking the long way around...

This has been a week of busy-ness, stress, and tears. Tyler has had to comfort me to sleep once or twice.

A tender mercy has appeared though, because it has also been a week of beautiful music. I hope you enjoy these playlist picks as much as I have.

1. Fish and Whistle by John Prine

"Father forgive us for what we must do; you forgive us and we'll forgive you. We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue and go fish and whistle in heaven." 

2. Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me by The Lower Lights 

"May I hear thee say to me, 'Fear not; I will pilot thee.'"

Oh The Lower Lights. They are the loveliest.

3. A Quarter Century by Carter Burwell from The True Grit Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 

True Grit is one of my favorite movies ever. The Coen brothers recreated the masterpiece beautifully. The soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous. I love this old hymn. So peaceful and contemplative.

4. The Wicked Flee by Carter Burwell from The True Grit Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 

5. Keep on The Sunny Side by The Whites 

"Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side. Keep on the sunny side of life." 

This song is so stinking happy. I love it to pieces.

6. You Are My Sunshine by Elizabeth Mitchell 

7. Gale Song by The Lumineers 

"Oh this too shall pass..." 

This song is beyond.

8. The Long Way Around by The Dixie Chicks 

"I've been long time gone now maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle but I always find my way somehow by taking the long way around."

This song described my senior year of high school and freshman year of college. I'd like to think it describes my life. Gypsy living with Tyler.

9. Landslide by Fleetwood Mac (this version, and this version too)

"Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?" 

10. Shot at The Night by The Killers 

Holy crap, this is good. So good. Like where has this been? Brandon...I love you. So does Tyler so it's okay.

11. Riptide by Vance Joy 

"Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer you have ever seen." 

This song is summer.

12. Old Pine by Ben Howard

I know, this has been in my last three playlists, but I'm really obsessed. I just can't get enough. The guitar...

Last but not least...my absolute favorite song right now. If Tyler and I hadn't heard Amazing Eyes before this song, it would have been our wedding song.

13. Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song)  by Oscar Isaac and Marcus Mumford

"If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly the river to the one that I love
Fare thee well, my honey fare thee well

I had a man, who was long and tall
He moved his body like a cannon ball
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

I remember one evening in the pouring rain
And in my heart there was an aching pain
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Muddy river runs muddy and wild
You can't give a bloody for my unborn child
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Just as sure as the birds are flying high
Life ain't worth living if you ain't with the one you love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well"

I really want to see Inside Llewyn Davis. The soundtrack is fantastic. It makes me cry, it's that good. Oh gosh...every time I hear it I get choked up. Even as I'm writing this. Talor if you are reading this...you NEED to hear this song.

What songs have you been listening to lately? Any ones you would like to share? Please do! 

Happy listening, as usual. 

Stay gold. 

a little mix

1. Pull these on. You could literally throw these one with EVERYTHING.

2. I dig. Oh I dig so hard.

3. Camo will always be the class throwback that everyone will say they hate, but secretly love and adore and wish they could rock. So why don't we rock it? Why don't we?

4. Day & Age by The Killers. Great album. Superb band. Tyler and I have been jamming out. Listen to all of it.

5. I Can't Stay by The Killers (good luck finding a good version...all of the ones I looked for weren't very good, but if you have spotify it's absolutely great on there.)

6. Leave it to A Cup of Jo to remind me just how ADORABLE AND RAD these things are.

7. Give it up for Joanna again, like how does she find beautiful things like this? Fashion at its finest.

8. i love it all. i love it all so much i want to go shopping RIGHT NOW.
