It’s Spring, and to detract from the heaviness of my previous post here’s a playlist for romantic renewal. Because love, this invisible energy binding us all, continues to matter and to exist. And it can be found inside of you. However, if you’ve been feeling like I have recently, despondent and melancholic, let’s resort to some readily available auditory medicine.
The following songs from these amazing alternative artists work heavily on your heart chakra to make you feel good and get you…in the mood for love. Adorned to the titles themselves you will also find small snipits of my favourite lyrics from these songs (most of which are also great dance tunes…) :
“Love is raised by common thieves
Hiding diamonds up their sleeves
Always I did it for you
Never felt so sure
You’re my best machine
You’re my midnight sun”
“Give me grace, give me light
Hold me up as I take flight
Make me safe, away from harm
Please caress my swollen heart
Make me pure”
3. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Echo
“Maybe you’re a little fire
You’ve been drowning your own desires
But every time I see you smile, the heavens move”
“Well, I love you, imagine a world without you
It’s only ever you, I only think of you
And if it’s a blessing, I want it for you
If I must have a future, I want it with you”
5. Angus and Julia Stone – Chateau
“Corner in your converse
Living on the outskirts
Trying just to figure it out
Talking like a deadbeat, I just wanted you to see
Everything that I could see
Walking in the night sky, I’m always on your side
You were really saving me”
6. Father John Mysty – Screamland
“Picked me up and drove by the light of the moon
Four hours to the desert from the drawing room
This year’s wine tasted suspicious but just enough like love
God must be with the outcasts ’cause when I call, you come”
“I need you to understand
These are the earthquake drills that we ran
Under the freeway overpasses
The tears behind your dark sunglasses
The fears inside your heart as deep as gashes
Walk beside me, not behind me
Feel my unconditional love”
8. Vampire Weekend – Prep-School Gangsters
“Call me jealous, call me mad, now I’ve got the thing you had
Somewhere in your family tree, there was someone just like me”
9. Sharon van Etten – Jupiter 4
“Touching your face
How’d it take a long, long time
To be here
Turning the wheel on my street
My heart still skips a beat”
“Grown apart and we’re so far gone
But I’m waving the white flag
Sending my love back, move on”
With universal love,
Lexi
