Songs of the Week

I suppose I can go back to doing these posts per week.  Blink-182 was probably the go-to artist for the week.  I have a song/band getting their first tally, which considering I've been doing this for over a year now, is kind of rare.  One of those songs that gets played in the background of a TV show and it really catches my attention, so I go out of my way to look it up.

Songs Tally

30th tally for All Time Low, 2nd tally for Do You Want Me (Dead?)

Do You Want Me (Dead?) - All Time Low

Give it up for at least a second. I'm getting sick of your bullshit attitude.

31st tally for All Time Low, 2nd tally for Therapy

Therapy - All Time Low

Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty, but I'm smiling at everything.

10th tally for Childish Gambino, 4th tally for Freaks And Geeks

Freaks and Geeks - Childish Gambino

I have worked all winter, I will not fail summer, in the back of the bush like Gavin Rossdale's drummer.

11th tally for Childish Gambino, 3rd tally for Not Going Back

Not Going Back - Childish Gambino

I refuse to go back to not liking who I was.

46th tally for Blink-182, 9th tally for After Midnight

After Midnight - Blink-182

I can't get my feet up off the edge, I kind of like the little rush you get when you're standing close to death.

47th tally for Blink-182, 2nd tally for Don't Tell Me That It's Over

Don't Tell Me That It's Over - Blink-182

Most girls do mean trouble because they are rarely honest.

6th tally for (+44), 4th tally for No, It Isn't

No, It Isn't - (+44)

Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful.

2nd tally for Matchbook Romance, 2nd tally for Playing For Keeps

Playing For Keeps - Matchbook Romance

You're so good at pretending everything is alright. You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked.

1st tally for The Gabe Dixon Band, 1st tally for All Will Be Well

All Will Be Well - The Gabe Dixon Band

All will be well even after all the promises you've broken to yourself. All will be well. You can ask me how but only time will tell.

Song of the Day

     Matchbook Romance has never been a band I hugely followed, but I always liked the songs I did hear from them.  They have several tracks I find to be pretty damn awesome and today's song of the day, Playing for Keeps is one of them.  I couldn't tell you the last time I actually listened to this song, but for some reason while lying around today, its chorus was running through my head.  I like the way it just grabs you, from the opening chord and never lets go.
