on top of the world

you know when your friend plays you a song, and you immediately fall in love with it and have to download the entire discography of that particular band or artist?
that's what happened today with imagine dragons.

i think i'm in love.

on the drive home from a site today, my coworker played one of their tracks. it had been a right miserable, rainy day filled with planting and a shit ton of mud. the second this song came on, the truck got a little less water logged. a little less filled with mud. smelled a little less like wet dog/musky men. i felt happy.

you can't be angry when listening to imagine dragons, particularly 'on top of the world'. seriously, feel good song of the summer right there. the whole album is a feel good song. it's like someone is injecting straight happiness into my body via my ears. how's that for a visual for ya?

if there's an album you need to have on your ipod, burned on a cd, do whatever with just have this ep on your person for those moments when you get stuck in traffic, you stub your toe, or your planting hundreds of plants in the pouring fucking rain, this is it. get it together and buy this album right now.
RIGHT NOW. do it.

on quick listen:
on top of the world
radioactive
it's time
demons

shitty sound, but this... yeah. just fucking listen to it.

i think i've written this at least 3 times in the last week. i can't seem to narrow it down to just 10 songs. this is literally the hardest thing i've had to do in the last little while (emotional things aside).
but i did it.
better enjoy it. sweet tuxedo jesus. i've definitely listened to all of these songs on repeat for the last 10 days. there are more, but these are my very favorites.

oh. hi. i haven't forgotten about you. i've just been busy trying to get my life back on track after it derailed so quickly. if anyone is curious, suicide watch over. and i'm not angry. i'm just... nothing. i don't care anymore.

but that's not why we're here. we're here because i have a list of songs you want to listen to. or better yet, i have a list of songs that i write down in the hopes that someone reads this. i lead a pretty quiet life, if you haven't surmized already.

there's a story to this currents. i found my old ipod nano in my car-- it's plastic, if that gives you any indication as to just how old it is-- and i can't change the songs on it, so it's forever frozen in time (aka 2008). since i refuse to listen to my real ipod (awful memories, too lazy to change the songs etc...) and my phone is fried, i've been stuck. so i've been listening to 2008 me.

she's pretty cool.

anyways, enjoy it, ya tits ;)

' ... oh, won't you let me twist your faith. it's getting kinda late but i don't wanna wait no more. oh may i have this dance of days locked in your embrace, passed your test of faith. another time another place, another line upon your face. another in your way. down crooked stairs and sideways glances comes the king of second chance now throw him in the flames. whatever keeps you warm at night. whatever keeps you warm inside. your bridges are burning down. they're all coming down-- it's all coming round. you're burning them down. it's all coming round-- they're all coming down. your bridges are burning now. oh let me put you in your place, i love it when you say i'm giving everything away...
