I think part of my recent downness is because I haven’t been listening to enough music. Life needs a soundtrack and a beat to follow.
“Mad World” performed by Gary Jules. “When people run in circles it’s a very very mad world. Children waiting for the day they feel good. Happy birthday. Happy birthday.”

“It’s the End of the World” performed by R.E.M. “It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.” (Though, honestly, I prefer to imagine this song playing on a backdrop of scenes from Independence Day. That movie has become a classic.)

“Same Love” performed by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, featuring Mary Lambert — Sometimes life needs a reminder that no matter how dark and grim the news tries to make things seem, everything is gonna be all right.

“Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” performed by Bob Marley. This one goes out to you. Sorry I’m so weird all the time. I’mma try not to let my anxieties get so much the best of me. It’s just hard sometimes.

“Put Your Records On” performed by Corrine Bailey Rae. “You’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.”

Here, because I love you, have the whole R.E.M. list.
You’re lucky I don’t hit you with some Smashing Pumpkins 😛
