September 2018

I don’t have much to say here, but I think some of the songs from this month do. Below, find some of my favorite quotes from this month’s Monthly Jamm:

There’s all these people in the room and I just wanna be alone / All these people in the room, I just wanna be alone with you –  Jack River, Ballroom

This isn’t the place to tear down walls / Not everything is a problem to solve / So let loose and just relax / What we’ve got is enough, we can leave it at that – Justin Jay, What Do You Want

I’ve been too busy checking all the boxes / Tryna win, trying to be good / Under the spell of what we think we want / But in the end it’s only us – Jillian Jacqueline, Priorities

My blue jeans / Will last me all my life / So should we – Daniel Caesar, Japanese Denim

I went out looking for love when I was seventeen / Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me / And in the heat of the night, saw things I’d never seen – Troye Sivan, Seventeen

There’s a hole in my heart / She says it’s a friend / But I know in my heart / She’s gonna do it again – The Dig, Hole in My Heart

Yeah the bad days drag on / That’s just life girl stay strong / Color fades, people change / And time turns – Chuck Adams, Time Turns

Have we outgrown our childhood memories? – Quinn XCII, Panama

They said by now, that I’ll be finished / Hard to tell / My little 15 minutes, lasting long as hell – Cardi B, I Do

In the low lamp light I was free / Heaven and hell were words to me – Hozier, Work Song

Tout le monde me parle (Everyone’s talking to me) / Tout le monde croit savoir (Everyone thinks they know) / C’que je dois faire de ma vie , c’qu’il y a dans ma tête (What I should do with my life, what’s in my head) / Mais j’écoute que moi et je me répète que (but I’m only going to listen to me and tell myself) / Ça ira mieux demain  (It’ll be better tomorrow) – Big Flo et Oli X Petit Biscuit, Demain

Le temps passe vite, on est des jeunes vieux (Time goes fast, we’re young old people) / Hier un petit m’a appelé Monsieur (Yesterday a kid called me Sir) – Big Flo et Oli X Petit Biscuit, Demain

It’s hard to put your boots in the ground / For guys like me running town to town / Somebody like you makes me want to / Slow down, down, down – Steve Moakler, Slow Down

Now could you tell me like it is, pretty little fears / I’m lovin’ your light, vulnerable / Lettin’ your guard down, it’s honorable / Especially when, the past ain’t been that friendly to you, but, there’s magic in that / You the flower I gotta protect / And keep alive in the wintertime, aye don’t you die yet – 6LACK ft. J. Cole, Pretty Little Fears
