ZZ Ward - Got It Bad

Your tongue is like sin/you always get in.

This song is the spark caused by the look from across a room and having had enough whiskey to let it burn up into pure desire. This song is lust and the shiver of a touch. That voice? It’s telling you to give in entirely and let it hurt so good.

Louis Armstrong - La Vie En Rose

Feeling a little nostalgic for romantic summer evenings that linger and lounge—chilled white wine, something light to eat, and a beautiful woman in a dress to flirt with. Shared smiles, stolen glances, and delicious anticipation.

It’s the weekend, friends. Enjoy la vie en rose.

Peter Gabriel - Flume (Bon Iver cover)

A well-done cover song is able to interpret the original in such a fashion to make it distinctive, new, unique and familiar all at once. It sounds funny, but I think that’s what truths are like.

They are these grand universal themes we all instinctively know and understand—love, belonging, fears, jealousies, and hope—but a well-told story or piece of art or song can make us feel them anew all over again. And we feel, understand, and recognize it. And it’s exciting, comfortable, and deeply personal all at the same time.

I often wonder if that’s what falling in love is like. Less the constant songs or birds chirping and more the recognition of a universal truth. An “oh, there you are” feeling to it. Less fireworks and poems, more a good song you’ve heard before but suddenly see differently because suddenly it’s not just you, but something bigger than yourself.

Maybe love is a really good cover song.

Jayme Dee - I Will Follow You Into The Dark (Death Cab for Cutie Cover)

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the “No” on their “Vacancy” signs;
If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks,
Then I’ll follow you into the dark.
