Okkervil River - The Valley
I saw a crazy solo version of this song performed last night. UHHH THIS BAND SLAYS ME.
Okkervil River - A Stone
And I think I believe that,
if stones could dream,
they’d dream of being laid
side-by-side,
piece-by-piece,
and turned into a castle
for some towering queen
they’re unable to know.
And when that queen’s daughter
came of age,
I think she’d be lovely
and stubborn and brave,
and suitors would journey
from kingdoms away
just to make themselves known.
And I think that I know
the bitter dismay of a lover who brought
fresh bouquets every day
when she turned him away
to remember some knave
who once gave just one rose,
one day, years ago.
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
Can’t wait to see them tonight!
“I want the song to contain the universe, and the universe to be contained in the song. It’s an impossible task, an impossible goal, but I’ll die trying.”
-Sufjan Stevens
Beirut - The Rip Tide
This album! Every track is beautiful!
Okkervil River - Unless It’s Kicks
I REALLY REALLY love this song. It has one of the best vocal performances I’ve ever heard. I am EXTREMELY EXCITED to see them again tonight.
Telekinesis - Fever Chill
I am going to power pop heaven tonight at Webster Hall.
