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.

Madeleine Peyroux - I’m All Right (2006)

Ain’t that one of the sweetest songs for waking up?

(also a great album for an introduction to Jazz)

Katie Melua – Ghost Town

I’ve tweeted about it a few times already but, seriously, I can’t think of any sweetest song for waking up. Or maybe Solal’s cover of Dancing Queen.
