Today I’m stuck on: “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” by Lykke Li
As Carole King fan since childhood, I can’t tell you how delighted I was to find an e-mail in my Inbox containing this lovely cover of “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” by Lykke Li. Her captivating vocals fit this tune beautifully, and the bare echoes of the piano mirror the echoes of doubt in a woman’s mind as she asks: “Will you still love me tomorrow?”
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I’m the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?
I’d like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won’t ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Today I’m stuck on: “Wash My Hands” by Meredith Brooks
Wash my hands of crimes
Pour the water over my skin, my spine
Cleanse my soul and ease my mind
I’ve been fixed on all the damage done
Why do I always forget how far I’ve come?
I’m done dying for the past
I’m done dying for the past
Slowly but surely, I’m getting rid of negative influences and physical and emotional baggage in my life. It’s time to leave the past behind me.

Today I’m stuck on: “Tallymarks” by the Portland Cello Project and Thao Nguyen
So don’t, don’t, don’t explain love to me
Love, love, love is not why we leave
It is real life dreams, make-believe people
You can’t build cathedrals out of finger steeples
And we drop, drop tears like tallymarks
And it builds like snow and it keeps us apart
And I drop, drop tears like tallymarks
And I’m keeping score, so I keep us apart
But I think I might miss you enough to say so
And I think I already did
Well, I think I might miss you enough to say so
If you’re sure, I’d say it again
If you’re sure, I’d say it again
Steady on, steady on, steady on my mind
Steady on my mind
Steady on, steady on, steady on my mind
Steady on my mind
Surely, surely I
Surely, surely I want love just as bad as the next
But deeper down in my, deeper down in my
bones
Is where it sets
PCP and Thao are playing tonight at Bowery Ballroom.

Today I’m stuck on: “The Hit” by the Eskalators
I know not to hold onto anything
I know it just a little bit too well
There’s been times I resisted the closing of my fist when
I think it’s time, but I just can’t tell
I know that I’ve folded my memory
So thick that I can’t quite see through
And I hum, ‘I’ve become my worst enemy’
But I still can’t pretend to blame you
But it’s cold not to hold onto anything
It’s colder than a frozen-over hell
Time has been twisting
Wrapped up around my wrist when
I reach for the ledge where I fell
SO I JUST KEEP FALLING!
Well in truth, that’s not my problem
It’s that I move way too fast
I thought maybe things would be OK
Just cause twenty-five months had passed
And I know that I’ve lost something
Maybe several things, in fact
Don’t hope, it’s time to give up hopin’
That they’re ever comin’ back

Today I’m stuck on: “Love in LA” by Ernie Halter
Woke up this morning
Flipped through the want ads
Found something that read:
‘Desperately seeking
Someone for keeping
In late in bed
And anything else you wanted, baby’
Remember how Charlie Brown,
Chased that red-haired girl around?
Now I know just how he feels
If I can’t find me something real…
Maybe I’ll be giving up on love in LA
Nobody came my way
What am I tryin’ to say?
I’m giving up on love in this town
Nobody cool around
Wish I could say I found
Love in LA
Catch Ernie Halter at The Bitter End tomorrow night.

“Love in LA (Live)” – Ernie Halter

Lucero and Amy LaVere are playing at Webster Hall tonight. I’m so excited to hear songs from Lucero’s new album that I just might dance like this awesome little boy who jumped on stage during their set at the Big Apple BBQ. We’ve been craving a live Lucero performance for months now, so you can be sure that when those boys sing their songs this evening, we’ll sing (and dance) along. All those tears I’ve been crying lately? Well, they really don’t matter much at all.

Today I’m stuck on: “Missing You” by Amy Grant
October 15th will probably always be a bit hard for me. And as much as it hurts not to have him in my life anymore, I know that it’s best for both of us. Will time ease the pain? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Your smile lights up a room
Like a candle in the dark
It warms me through and through
And I guess that I had dreamed
We would never be apart
But that dream did not come true
And missing you is just a part of livin’
And missing you feels like a way of life
I’m living out the life that I’ve been given
But baby, I still wish you were mine

Today I’m stuck on: “Body” by Thao with The Get Down Stay Down
What am I, just a body in your bed?
Won’t you reach for the body in your bed?
I have been just a body in your bed
Won’t you reach for the body in your bed?
Stating that “sad people dance too,” Thao spills out post-breakup beats on her band’s latest release, Know Better Learn Faster. Look forward to even more addictive, party playlist-worthy tracks coupled with sensitive gems and the distinctive sweet energy we opened our hearts to a long time ago. It’s the perfect album to dance a broken heart away to.
