Caramel - Suzanne Vega

I know your name

I know your skin

I know the way these things begin

Metabolism - The Strokes

Who Shot Ya? — The Notorious B.I.G.

The English Riviera - Metronomy

She Gone - Gonjasufi

‘Round Midnight - Thelonious Monk, The Columbia Years

I Want You (She’s So Heavy) - The Beatles

I’m Slowly Turning Into You - The White Stripes

No Mathematician - Phil Cogley, The Saturday Giant

Please just listen and love him.

Written in Reverse - Spoon

And now the lightbulb’s gone off,
I’ve seen it in your eyes.
I’ve seen you blankly stare,
And I want to show you how I love you,
But there’s nothing there

Thee Oh So Protective One - Girls

Oh, little girl, they just don’t know

About the weight you carry in your soul.

Honey Bunny - Girls

And you will love me

For all the reasons everyone hates me,

And we can do whatever we want always.

Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) - Arcade Fire

That Power - Childish Gambino

I wish I could say this was a story about how I got on the bus a boy and got off a man more cynical, hardened, and mature and shit. But that’s not true. The truth is I got on the bus a boy. And I never got off the bus. I still haven’t.
