JULY
2023
July was one of the most chaotic and terrible months I’ve had in a long time and so I don’t particularly have the urge to write a lot this month. I will say, however, that music is absolutely what got me through to August. Sorry it’s late again, but Happy Mallie Mondays!
This month was inspired by my family’s most recent road trip to Yosemite (all 47 of us) and lots of different kinds of heartbreak. Like a true Cancer, I have truly been hit this month. Please enjoy July and just know going into it, it may feel more like a Fall preview rather than a Summer playlist.
Playlist Highlights:
Take The Night Off / I Was An Eagle / You Know / Breathe - Laura Marling
Favorite lyrics:
You should be gone beast
Be gone from me
Be gone from my mind at least
Let a little lady be
The Chain - Fleetwood Mac
Favorite lyrics:
Damn your love, damn your lies
Break the silence,
damn the dark, damn the light
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain
You'll miss me when I'm not around - Grimes
Favorite lyrics:
If you don't bleed, then you don't die
Cross my heart and hope to fly
If you like it, then you'll make it out alive
If they could see me now,
smiling six-feet underground
I'll tie my feet to rocks and drown
You'll miss me when I'm not around!
Last call, last call
You'll miss me when I'm not around!
Cross my heart and hope to fly
If you like it, then you'll make it out alive
If they could see me now,
smiling six-feet underground
I'll tie my feet to rocks and drown
You'll miss me when I'm not around!
Last call, last call
You'll miss me when I'm not around!
Change - Blind Melon
Favorite lyrics:
And oh, as I fade away
They'll all look at me and say
And they'll say, "Hey, look at him"
"I'll never live that way"
And that's ok, they're just afraid to change
All That Ever Mattered - Haim
Favorite lyrics:
So what is it like now that you don't have me?
So what is it like?
Nevermind, don't tell me
Do you think about all the things I did to you?
Do you think about how to get me back?
When you remember that, to me
All that ever mattered was you, baby
All that ever mattered was you, baby
And I guess you never knew
All that ever mattered was you, babe
Anything But Me - MUNA
Favorite lyrics:
Go ahead and hate me as long as you need to
Go ahead and break me a piece of your mind
Say I always had one foot out
Well, baby, I got two now
Good thing I've never been afraid of goodbye
You say that you wanna change
Well, I hope you get everything you want
Everything you want
You say that you need relief
Well, I hope you get everything you need
Everything but me
Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift
Favorite lyrics:
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis (tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
