We don't need roads

Coldplay - Life is for Living (2000)

Parachute’s hidden track is one of my favorites Coldplay songs. The instrumentation is great.

But, life is for living
We all know
And I don’t wanna live it alone

Cause in the end
There’s only us
And oh my friend
There’s only love

Wanda Jackson featuring The Cramps - Funnel of Love (1961)

Heard in the last Entourage episode, but it could be the closing credits song of any Tarantino movie.

Blur - Out Of Time (2003)

And you’ve been so busy lately
That you haven’t found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time

Rokia Traore - M’Bifo (2003)

I remember seeing Rokia Traore at a music festival longtime ago, and then on TED Talks years after. I’m glad her talent is now recognized.

Ten Years After - I’m Going Home (Woodstock, 1969)

Steve Miller Band - The Joker (1973)

I’m a joker
I’m a smoker
I’m a mid-night toker
I get my lovin’ on the run

As heard in That ’70s Show musical episode.

Toots & the Maytals featuring Ben Harper - Love Is Gonna Walk Out On Me (2004)

• Sweet guitar introduction
• Awesome leading voice (Toots)
• Cool round bass melody
• Nice entry by Ben Harper
• Perfect reggae riddim
• Great slide guitar solo

What’s not perfect about this song?

Bon Iver - Skinny Love (2007)

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I’ll be with you
But it will be a different “kind”
I’ll be holding all the tickets 
And you’ll be owning all the fines

I think we’ve been listening to For Emma, For Ever Ago every morning and every night for the last week. I really hate listening to the same album twice in a row, but seriously, this one is so amazing, it’s perfect for a morning cup of tea.

tracks:

Montell Jordan - Get it on tonight

(thanks to lickystickypickyme)

‘99 revival.

I’ve completely forgotten about that song I haven’t listen to in ten years… Now I feel like I’m entering Junior High School all over again.
