I opened up a browser on my work computer this morning that auto launched what I was looking at yesterday, and it was one of those songs that when I'm really tired kind of makes me all weepy and shit.
So this post is dedicated to songs which impact me on an emotional level... hit below the belt if you will. Ow.
This is not, by any means, a complete list.
Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise by The Avett Brothers. I think the line that gets me is "If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected." I have a deep fear of rejection and of being unloveable, so this gets me where it hurts. It's something that I want to believe.
Dawes - A Little Bit of Everything. Thank The Current for this one, because I don't even have the album. I'm not even exactly sure why this gets to me, I think it's the line at the end of the song: "All these psychics and these doctors/Theyre all right and theyre all wrong,/Its like trying to make out every word,/When they should simply hum along,/Its not some message written in the dark,/Or some truth that no ones seen,/Its a little bit of everything." it kind of encapsulates my world view in a sense. Maybe it makes me a dilettante, I don't care.
OK Go - This Too Shall Pass. If you know me, then this should be obvious. I know it's a fun band and it's a fun song, and they seem to be all about fun, but it still makes me a little bit dewey eyed. I think it's joy.
Jason Isbell - Dress Blues - Saved the best for last, because if you don't get emotionally impacted by this, I don't want to talk to you. There is a studio version, but this is the version that kills me. I've seen him do it live. If you only watch one of these, watch this one.
