Counting Stars

Stars

"She thinks she missed the train to mars;

she's out back counting stars."

Crumpled, yellowed sheets of Daisies

sleep under black-eyed skies,

tear-streaked green

from the Moon.

So in the midst of all our travels lately, we've been listening to a lot of music (60 hours in a car over a span of 2.5 weeks...we've listened to A LOT of music). So, here are my favorite songs right now (some are old favorites, some are new songs, some are just whatever seems good - basically this is my "Recently Played" list in iTunes) in alphabetical order by artist...naturally:

So...maybe you'll find some new music, or maybe you already like some of it, or think it's just repulsive. It is what it is. Either way, enjoy! (And feel free to send me some of your favorite music suggestions)


Love,

P.S. Oh, and as far as entire albums go..."Way to Normal" by Ben Folds, the "Apollo 13" soundtrack, and the "Twister" soundtrack were played numerous times during said travels. Maybe Stephen will do a post like this soon?
