You know how some songs you can describe as pretty? Well, these are the ones I consider pretty...
1. Creeks - The Panics
"I made my plans for the rest of my days,
I made my plans for everyday,
I made my plans for yesterday,
Thinking of you"
2. Live Without - The Panics
"I'm living here alone and this is still a crowd,
I'll never work you out,
But how can I forgive,
Now I have to live without"
3. No One's Gonna to Love You - Band of Horses
"It's looking like a limb torn off,
Or althohether just taken apart,
We are the ever living ghost of what once was"
4. Sprout and the Bean - Joanna Newsom
"The difference between,
The sprount and the bean,
Is a golden ring,
It is a twisted string"
5. Beautiful to Me - Little Birdy
"Oh, look the afternoon,
It's the only place where you and I belong,
You're mine,
Forever and a day"
6. Forever Song - Josh Pyke
"I want the song I can sing forever,
I don't care for structure,
Just to know it's mine.
I'd hate to see,
This thing we've developed,
Become your burden or my waste of time"
7. Memories and Dust
"First I was a hatchling waiting for my little bones to form,
Next I was a fledging leaping from the nest despite the fall,
Oh, they fall, how we fall,
But if I speak to you of days upon the ocean,
I can speak to you of memories and dust"
8. So Nice So Smart - Kimya Dawson
"You're so nice and you're so smart,
You're such a good friend, I have to break your heart,
I'll tell you that I love you then I'll tear your world apart,
Just pretend I didn't tear your world apart"
9. Tire Swing - Kimya Dawson
"I took the Polaroid down in my room,
I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend,
It's not as if I don't like you,
It just makes me sad whenever I see it"
10. Ghosts/Ghosts That Broke My Heart - Laura Marling
"Stood at the table where she sat,
And removed his hat,
In respect of her presence"
11. Recently - Polaris
"'Cause recently I kissed you,
It's like a dream come true,
And recently you're liking me,
And I'm really liking you"
12. On the Radio - Regina Spektor
"This is how it works;
You're young until you're not,
You love until you don't,
You try until you can't,
You laugh until you cry,
You cry until you laugh,
And everyone must breathe,
Until their dying breath"
13. I'll Follow the Sun - The Beatles
"But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun"
14. From My Own True Love (Lost at Sea) - The Decemberists
"Four score years,
Living down in this rain swept town,
Sea salt tears,
Swimming around as the rain comes down"
15. Gone for Good - The Shins
"I find a fatal flaw,
In the logic of love"
16. Pink Bullets - The Shins
"When our kite lines first crossed,
We tied them into knots,
And to finally fly apart,
We had to cut them off"
17. A Minor Incident - Badly Drawn Boy
"Theres nothing I could say to make you try to feel okay,
And nothing you could do to stop me feeling the way I do,
And if the chance should happen,
That I never see you again,
Just remember that I'll always love you"
18. Phantom Limb - The Shins
"To keep some hope alive,
That a girl like I could ever try,
Could ever try"
19. A Comet Appears - The Shins
"We can blow on our thumbs and posture,
But the lonely is such delicate things,
The wind from a wasp could blow them,
Into the sea,
With stones on their feet,
Lost to the light and the loving we need"
20. Monsters - Something For Kate
"I was hanging upside down from the overpass,
Waiting to discover something about the world"
