Music Monday

I have been remiss in keeping up with my postings, and for that I sincerely apologize. Because I slept all of an hour last night and can foresee another bout of insomnia looming on the horizon, my brain is not functioning at it's highest capacity. So I will leave you with this playlist in an attempt to reinstate my Music Monday posts.

Goodbye Shadows...Lay Your Head On My Shoulder

1. Swim(Music Box)- Jack's Mannequin .... Thanks, R, for sending this to me. I have listened to it non stop and really did tear up when I first heard it. I'm glad we're best friends.
2. Little Lion Man- Mumford and Sons .... I only recently stumbled upon M&S while scouring iTunes for new music to add to my writing playlist. I love them and I really love this song.
3. For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti- Sufjan Stevens .... I was listening to this song as the moon grew brighter while I walked my dog. It was quiet and had just rained so the air smelled new. I was overcome by the most beautiful feeling of melancholia and had to breathe deep to remind myself to enjoy it.
4. Jar of Hearts- Christina Perry .... So sad but so pretty.
5. If You Can't Sleep- She and Him .... Thank you again, R, for giving me this gift. It has become my lullaby.
6. Re:Stacks- Bon Iver .... Simply perfect.
7. Collide (Acoustic)- Howie Day .... Love.

Sweet Dreams.
