So this is the New Year, and I have no resolutions for self-assigned penance for problems with easy solutions.
Grouplove, “Tongue Tied”
This song could be familiar if you’ve ever caught the car commercial that uses it. For me, this track will always remind me of the band’s opening number during their live set. Extremely uptempo, this track screams fun and good memories… exactly what the New Year has in store, right?
Enjoy, lovers.
I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left.

Gotye
Somebody That I Used to Know (feat. Kimbra)
Gotye, “Somebody I Used To Know”
I’m into funky duets, and there’s something haunting about Gotye and Kimbras partnership, paired with plucky instrumentals, that pushes this track to the brink of heartbreak. The lyrics are powerful throughout, but the chorus gets me every time.
You really should check out the video here. It’s such an amazing concept.
My voice, a beacon in the night. My words will be your light to carry you to me.
Lana Del Rey, “Video Games”
It’s official: I’m obsessed with this song. I listen to it when I wake up and before bed. The lyrics are so simple and real. Her voice is sultry and flirty. Oh yes, I’m obsessed with this song. How could you not be?
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep.
Weezer, “O Holy Night”
I planned on posting much more holiday music, but Christmas kind of crept up on me. At any rate, here is a classic by Weezer to get you through the week. Only seven days left!
You know you can’t keep letting it get you down, and you can’t keep dragging that dead weight around.
OK Go, “I Want You So Bad I Can’t Breathe”
We’re so close to the weekend, lovers. Here’s a song to get you through the final hours. Pay attention to the lyrics. Do you remember feeling this way when you were first falling for someone? Or, maybe you’re there right now. It’s hard to concentrate when that person is in your proximity. I think this song captures that feeling perfectly.
