The Tori Amos song has been on heavy rotation, as the last couple of years of my life definitely fit in with the song. The Mumlers song is just beautiful. Rihanna is an example of how good pop music has gotten. Blonde Redhead is epic. Josh Ritter, as usual, is one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking songs you'll ever hear. And the rest are good too.

tears on the sleeve of a man
don't wanna be a boy today
heard the eternal footman
bought himself a bike to race...

Blondie's always fun.

I wrote you a letter but I tore it up
For it rendered my intentions all wrong
Because honey I just want to cheer you up
So instead I wrote you this song

open your eyes look around you
fuck what you heard
you were lied to
sweetheart

Want you to take it like a thief in the night
Hold me like a pillow, make me feel right
Baby I'll tell you all my secrets what I'm keepin', you can come inside
And when you enter, you ain't leavin', be my prisoner for the night...

he was a son of god
he was a son of a gun...

We ran 'til we couldn't stand straight
No fear of each other
Kissed sad like sentimental lovers
Our truth undone

Oh Marie, there's something tells me things just won't work out above
That our love would live a half life on the surface
So at night while you are sleeping, I hold you closer just because
As our time grows short I get a little nervous

So I think about the big one, WWIII
Would we ever really care, the world had ended?
You could hold me here forever like you're holding me tonight
I think about that big red button and I'm tempted.

This song grew on me. Adam Green's lyrics are so off the wall, I love it.

This song didn't have to grow on me. Adam Green's lyrics are still off the wall.

We stay up way too late to pay our dues
I told you
Swollen eyes and tired tongues

Where have your clothes gone, why are you late
When you're not around, I suffocate
When all is hopeless, when all else fails
You've ruined my ending, it's ruined...
