I woke up this mornin with the sundown shinin in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within

I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin out as I was a-crawlin in
I got up so tight I couldnt unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I'm tired of trying

Your teasing ain't enough

I love listening to Adele. I love how she says nuffing instead of nothing. She's cool, she plays the piano, she writes, she's a true musician.

I wanted to control it

but love, I couldn't hold it

A delightful band out of Gasgeeeeee. Camera Obscura sings often about heartache, so...you know...I like them

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I collide

Another suggestion by Sean Tierney :)

I've never listened to Howie Day before. I checked this song out and kind of think it should be on the soundtrack for every romanitc comedy, but how can you not fall in love with those lyrics? Seriously, I watch Dirty Dancing and Pride and Prejudice (the A&E version) every time I have a cold. I'm a romantic at heart.

Say that I'm changed
Say I'm different
Maybe I finally understand

Oh my, how I love songs with a good piano. Correatown (Angela Correa) has a delightful little song for moody mornings with coffee and a sunrise and summer stretching out ahead.

No money man can win my love

It's sweetness that I'm thinking of

This song has truly stood the test of time. Come on, who doesn't love it?

Much like Kelis' Milkshake, I'm somewhat confused as to what hanging in a "Buffalo Stance" means, but yeah, ok, sure. Neneh Cherry, I salute you.

Who would know

all the reasons you're alone

This Silversun Pickups song is kind of depressing, for example, "and when I know you're safe and dreaming, my escape plan's in full swing"....Uhhh...yeah...sounds awesome guys, remind me NOT to ever hook you up. This song desperately reminds me of 1999. I'm almost sure of why. 

Cmon baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart

Fleetwood Mac. Yes. I wanna be with YOU everywhere.

And then you put your arms around me

And we tumble to the ground

And then you say

I think we're alone now

Heard a cover of this yesterday while enjoying some delicious coffee at Bumpy's (take note, it is now open on Saturdays!) and have had it stuck in my head since. She may have been a one-hit wonder, but we'll always love Tiffany.

*Oh, apparently, she's now a dance diva...on tour! Who knew?

Hello operator

Can you give me number nine?

Can I see you later?

Will you give me back my dime?

Listened to My Doorbell earlier today and it reminded me of this song. Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind that if Jack White from The White Stripes and I got married, I could be Sarah Blue-White because it totally has.
