The Moment: “I need to let go of the things I see that have always let me fall/ And I cannot find my way home no because I’m already home.” Somehow this song is like a sarcastic slap in the face, hence why it’s my favorite. Instead of taking the normally bitter and sad route for a break up song SafetySuit uses their words to express emotions while playing guitar that makes Tim Brantley look emo.

A present from Vedera
I wrote this blog post about Vedera’s song Satisfy a few weeks ago, and what do you know, some one saw it. That someone was Amanda, a marketing intern from Baebel music who sent me the wonderful present of music…
Shark in the Water

Shark in the Water by V V Brown probably played on the radio five times on the car ride to Washington D.C. over break before it was stuck in my head.

It’s Raining in Baltimore
One of the lesser-known jewels in discography of the Counting Crows is It’s Raining Baltimore. Eternally famous for the upbeat Accidentally in Love, yes, the song from Shrek, It’s Raining in Baltimore is a peaceful and mellow song that doesn’t have much of a goal.
