Promise Is a Pendulum
Big Thief
What song makes you feel connected to nature?
Tomorrow is our annual New Year's Day hike, so an appropriate prompt.
And this prompt is made for Adrianne Lenker in my opinion... particularly the Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You record. There are so many references to nature in the lyrics... I'll have to go with this song though.
I could never build a rainbow or any kind of flower
I could never make a sparrow or a meteor shower
I could never build an earthworm, never make the earth turn
I've been listening to the laughing of the fox down the trail
I've been clasping to the listening of the moss to the snail, ooh
The shimmer of the beech leaves as the wind does a big sneeze
The lyrics are a perfect match for the wonder of a hike in the woods. Appreciating everything in front of you, totally in the moment.

What song makes you want to stay up all night?
Another vinyl pickup yesterday. Finally found this one in the wild. So good and fits the prompt so well.
Picked up this album at Newbury. So good.

What song makes you feel like you're in love with the world?
It wasn't slow, it happened fast
And suddenly the only thing I saw was you
I didn't know the half of it
And suddenly I had everything to lose
Can we stay like this forever?
Can we be here in this room 'til we die?
I think we can make it
I hope that I'm right
