Song of The Day: Lana Del Rey- Born To Die

Well...another Lana Del Rey song I find myself continuously hitting repeat on. Turn this up, and really listen to the lyrics. It is the epitome of majority of peoples relationship today.

"Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die"

The song sounds kind of morbid but I think it has a deeper meaning than that. Loving the sounds Lana has been producing.

Song Of The Day: The Rolling Stones- Beast of Burden

If you don't like the Rolling Stones, well then you just don't know good music. I've been on a little stones splurge lately and just had to post this song. Just one of those feel good jams. I guarantee if you want to liven the mood in a bar or any scenario, just turn this song on. 

Song Of The Day: The Pixies- Where is My Mind?

No matter how stable you feel you are in your life, there sometimes are those days where you just kinda loose your mind. Those days where you just kind of feel like letting go, and well, not really giving a shit. These days of just not really caring rarely come to me since I'm an anal perfectionist with most things life. But, its winter break for me. A new year is around the corner. And I'm blasting this song and thanking God for creating people who can create music like this. Life is short, you gotta loose your mind every once in a while. You gotta let go. God bless The Pixies.

Song and Movie of the Day: Like Crazy-- Fools Gold- Suprise Hotel

I saw the movie "Like Crazy" recently and I absolutely loved it. It wasn't any ridiculous vampire love story that everyone is obsessing over, and it didn't have the typical cliche Hollywood ending. It was a great story about real love that had it's up and downs of two people trying to make a long distance relationship work. I laughed and cried pathetically during it. I recommend it to anyone who can appreciate a good independent film.

In the movie after their wedding they were in a hotel room dancing to music and this song came on. When it came on during the movie I said to myself "Dear god, this is a good song." However, it only came on briefly so I didn't have enough time to pull out my phone and be obnoxious and "Shazaam" it during the movie. It was that great of a song though that I remembered to Google search for it and I found it. It's one hell of a song: Fools Gold-Suprise Hotel. Fool's Gold is a band based in Los Angeles, California where they weave together western pop aesthetics with African rhythms and melodies. I'm loving the sounds this group is making.
