Bloc Party - This Modern Love
To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
You’ve been trying to reach me
You bought me a book
American Analog Set - Know By Heart
you are a book for me to read,
line after line I read on and on.
you are a film for me to see,
a string of frames that just goes on and on and on.
Big Star - The India Song
I’d like to go to India
Live in a big white house in the forest
Drink gin and tonic and play a grand piano
Read a few books
Ben Folds Five - Your Redneck Past
Laws vary from state to state
Getcha some books on tape
Learn about holes in space
Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day
In the morning through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
I could see what you were reading
Jimmy Eat World - Big Casino
Well there’s lots of smart ideas in books I never read
But when the girls come talk to me, I wish to hell I had
Rosemary Clooney - Be Careful, It’s My Heart
It’s not the note that I sent you that you quickly burned
It’s not the book I lent you that you’ll never return
Remember, it’s my heart
Just a little slow dance music for this rainy city Saturday, that’s all.
Enya - Book of Days
If Delilah did a dedication to this blog, I hope this song would be it. The chanting is so awesomely bad that it makes me miss my small town yoga class.
Rilo Kiley - The Frug
And I can start a book
I can make some mac and cheese
I can sleep twelve hours
You’ll never see my eyes
