Perhaps the last great work to come out of Daft Punk, and certainly one of The Weeknd’s best tracks, this golden song will never devalue. At a glance, it’s probably about making a woman climax. Nothing could be less interesting to me. And not even because of the gay part. I love listening to thisContinue reading “The Weeknd, Daft Punk – I Feel It Coming”

Beyoncé – JUST FOR FUN
I am the man. I know it. Beyoncé says in a forced affirmation amid an inner turmoil that she’ll never detail. As many layers as Cowboy Carter offers, I gravitated to this track in my first run-through. It feels familiar and as comforting as a sweater passed down from my dad, like it was designedContinue reading “Beyoncé – JUST FOR FUN”
Kacey Musgraves – Deeper Well
Finding comfort in the middle comes with age and wisdom. Deeper Well lands between the highest peak of love that Kacey Musgraves found in Golden Hour, and the depths of heartbreak that she explored in Star Crossed, landing in the grass near the trees with the old-as-time hills off in the distance. Admittedly, I wasContinue reading “Kacey Musgraves – Deeper Well”
Sensational Songs: Coldplay – Fix You
I can’t stand it. This song is almost always a skip for me. I’m rarely in a place where I can face it. And the tears come streaming down your face There is no more tender place in my heart than where this song lives. I think about my cousin who took me to myContinue reading “Sensational Songs: Coldplay – Fix You”
Sensational Songs: Savoir Adore – Dreamers
Definitely a song I’ve leaned on for many chapters in my life, I’m thrilled to share this one. Right off the top, you know it’s good shit. A bubbly bass line and tip-tappy guitar riffs welcome you into this grandiose assertion that your life might never be exactly what you targeted, but the people aroundContinue reading “Sensational Songs: Savoir Adore – Dreamers”
Best of 2023: Selena Gomez – Single Soon
Selena Gomez has always had my back. I had a whole epiphany moment with “Rare.” I was pretty deep in it for a bit. She always knows what to say. We’ve seen her fight the haters (“Who Says“). We’ve seen her be sexy (“Good For You“). This time, she’s emerging as the victor in anContinue reading “Best of 2023: Selena Gomez – Single Soon”
Best of 2023: Lana Del Rey – Grandfather Please Stand on the Shoulders of My Father While He’s Deep-Sea Fishing
I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song. I was in a rented RV with a group of friends, barreling through the night on a journey to the Grand Canyon. Some in the group would later embark on further travel across the country for the remainder of the year. Some would move away.Continue reading “Best of 2023: Lana Del Rey – Grandfather Please Stand on the Shoulders of My Father While He’s Deep-Sea Fishing”
Best of 2023: A R I Z O N A – Graveyard
I can’t tell you shit about A R I Z O N A. I’d rather not research them, because my lack of expertise makes for a more fun perspective to write from. Sometimes it’s nicer to keep things green and speak from the heart, rather than rattling off stats. I know that I’ve skipped theirContinue reading “Best of 2023: A R I Z O N A – Graveyard”
2021 – A Year in Songs
We didn’t shake off the societal injuries sustained in 2020 as we had hoped, but many aspects of life returned this year, some bigger and better than ever. Live music exploded (with proof of vax, of course) and many of us flocked to shows, gigs and even festivals at a rapid pace. I was outContinue reading “2021 – A Year in Songs”
Just in Time
People have really been adamant that I stop being hard on myself lately. It’s like, all at once my self-deprecating humor expired and nobody is having any more of it. Curbing that kind of dialogue will be tougher than I’ll probably understand right away, but I’m up for the challenge. That said, I’m having aContinue reading “Just in Time”
