Summertime Goodbyes - A Playlist
Greetings, everyone. Since August is bidding us goodbye so soon and summertime memories are to be written in books and sealed with light and grace, I am here to share some tracks which could make the last days of your summer a little bit more unearthly than usual.
My taste in music is quite thematic and infused with lyrical imagery. I enjoy all songs which are quiet yet cascade genuineness with every lyric and every beat. I am quite prone to listen to indie music for it's touching and poetic, adding sensitivity to my perception of the world.
You can find the playlist here, and here are some lines of my favourite lyrics. (:
- the tallest man on earth: then i won’t sing no more “I love you, dear, be safe, you know”
“but I’ll keep the hope I carry, everywhere so I can love, wherever I go now”
“but we will travel past the beating rain and be graceful after all”
- the paper kites: arms
“what can I give that is all for you, my hearts not good cause it’s split in two, these arms are all I have”
- the paper kites: don’t keep driving
“there’s nothing wrong with a little space, but not right now, don’t leave”
“don’t push me away”

“it’s meant to feel that way”
- days of august: north country
“we are so close when we’re apart”
