Another rainy day and I am LOVING it!
Desert rain.. there's just something about it, I swear..
I've felt rain all over the east coast and it's nothing as pure as this..

True Bliss..

Hope you enjoy today's picks! :)

Banana pancakes - Jack Johnson

Love the feel of this one, it's a lazy/rainy day song for sure!
Makes me smile. :)

Wakin up too early;
Maybe we could sleep in.
Make you banana pancakes;
Pretend like its the weekend now.
We could pretend it all the time..
Can't you see that it's just rainin?
There ain't no need to go outside.
Just maybe..
Halaka ukulele, mama made a baby.
Really don't mind the practice, cuz you're my little lady.
Lady lady, love me, cuz I love to lay here lazy.
We could close the curtains, pretend like there's no world outside.
We could pretend it all the time..

Somewhere over the rainbow - Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole

THIS SONG is one of my all time favorites! Along with so many other people.
This man touched so many hearts and continues to today.
He is a legend and was such a kind man.. R.I.P. , for sure big man! <3

Someday I'll wish upon a star;
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops.
High above the chimney top;
That's where you'll find me!
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly.
And the dream that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
Well I see trees of green and red roses too.
I'll watch them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself.
What a wonderful world.

I will follow you into the dark - Death Cab for Cutie

Now this isn't necessarily sad, but could be perceived that way.
To me it's a beautiful story of a love that will not die.
One that pushes beyond the gates of life and death and resists the bond being broken.

Truly wonderful.

Love of mine, someday you will die..
But I'll be close behind and I'll follow you into the dark.
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white;
Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark.
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied;
And illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs..
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks;
Then I'll follow you into the dark.

Thank you - Dido

Again, could be perceived as sad.. but I give it a different underlying meaning.
I'll let you decide what that is for yourself! ;)

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all.
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all.
And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall..
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain.
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today.
I'm late for work again and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day.
And then you call me and it's not so bad..
It's not so bad.
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life.
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life.

Fast car - Tracy Chapman

This song inspires me to live my life..
It's songs like this that send a tingle down my spine.. just knowing that I TOOK CONTROL OF MY LIFE and even if I'm struggling immensely right now.. I feel FREE. Truly. :)

You got a fast car;
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision..
Leave tonight or live and die this way.
So remember when we were driving driving in your car?
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk..
City lights lay out before us and your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder;
And I had a feeling that I belonged.
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone.
