My 5 Music Obsessions of the Day

You can stream the music obsessions each week here on Spotify

1. First :: Cold War Kids

“Flying like a cannonball,
falling to the earth,
heavy as a feather when you hit the dirt.
How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve,
to wait around forever when you were there first.
First you get hurt,
then you feel sorry.”

2. Saints & Sailors :: Dashboard Confessional

“And I’m throwing away the letters,
that I am writing you,
cause they would never do,
I would never do.”

3. Cough Syrup :: Young The Giant

“If I could find a way,
to see this straight,
I’d run away,
to some fortune that I should have found,
by now.”

4. Lost in the Light :: Bahamas

“After so many words,
still nothing’s heard;
don’t know what we should do.”

5. Dusty Trails :: Lucius

“It’s all in the manual that we’ve been writing,
a future instructional guide.
If we skip to add to our prefufilled dreams,
we’d be lost without our own advice.
We’ll be alright,
we’ll be alright.”
