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”

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”
Tears – Charli XCX feat. Caroline Polachek
Everyone knows I’m the crying man. After a good solid personal breakdown, I shed my armor of toughness and became everyone’s most touchy friend. I’m often disarmed by a heartfelt moment, a triumph of someone I love, or the observation of pain. I don’t often cry because of anguish, though. This 2017 song from CharliContinue reading “Tears – Charli XCX feat. Caroline Polachek”
Shania Twain – Forever And For Always
Forever doesn’t exist. It never has. Artists of every kind throw the term around with little care for the severity of the idea. Forever. For ever. With no end and in perpetuity. Nothing that has ever existed lives up to that. Shania Twain has a charmed and beloved place in music that gives her theContinue reading “Shania Twain – Forever And For Always”
Sing it Saturday: The Verve- Bitter Sweet Symphony
I find a deep satisfaction in bringing awareness to songs that I know will make other people happy if given a chance. It is always a differently rewarding experience, however, to talk about one that I know everyone already loves. Bitter Sweet Symphony was a perfect contribution of 90s music. It feels like a loveContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: The Verve- Bitter Sweet Symphony”
Sing it Saturday: Daft Punk – Get Lucky
Say what you will. Actually, don’t. Daft Punk is rad and nobody will ever do it like they did. I realized their polarizing appeal the weekend that I moved to LA back in 2017. Elite streetwear megastore Maxfield hosted a pop-up shop dedicated to our favorite space robots to commemorate their Grammy’s performance with theContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Daft Punk – Get Lucky”
Sing it Satuday: LEN – Steal My Sunshine
1999 was a blast in the face from pop culture. Film, TV and music were at their peak, and we saw content that is still referenced today, even by young creators who weren’t born yet. Steal My Sunshine is a creation of that time. Everyone remembers this song, but probably wouldn’t be able to tellContinue reading “Sing it Satuday: LEN – Steal My Sunshine”
Sing it Saturday: Cher – Believe
No matter how hard I try, I can’t get past this late 90’s banger. It reshaped the landscape of pop music and showed that electronic elements in music were the way of the future. Sonically, it slaps. Lyrically, it’s devastating. I’m so sad you’re leaving. It takes time to believe it. As much as theContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Cher – Believe”
Sing it Saturday: Allie X – Sanctuary
I remember being told by a friend “It’s literally my idea of a perfect pop song.” about Sanctuary. I’d listened to a good handful of Allie X songs, and understood that she purveyed an odd girl image against pop bangers and earworms. I always love when an artist creates challenging imagery to surround feather-light materialContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Allie X – Sanctuary”
