Phoenix : Girlfriend
"Farewell, til you know me well."







Helloooo world! Today is SO GORGEOUS!!! Finally I feel summer creeping around the corner. Makes me think about barbecues, bonfires, beach parties. I didn't purposefully make those all "b" words, but cool. I've been pretty busy lately, hence why it took me so long to start posting good tunes again.

Zak and I spent 9 days in Tennessee at the end of April. Once again, I fell in love. Dear God that place is perfect! Something about constant sunshine, warm weather embracing your skin, and southern people. Since most of you know about this blog from my facebook page, I'm sure you all saw the pictures. You have water, mountains, bluffs, you name it. I'm actually considering applying to some places down there. I can just imagine him and I starting a new life down there with his family. Plus, the economy is ridiculously good, surprisingly. I guess I just figured most of America was suffering, but the highest we paid for gas was probably $3.50. Everyone is happy, and although I love all of you Michigan people, you guys are freaking cranky, always. Seriously! Who wakes up and thinks, "Damnit, God gave me another day to live. I guess I should just start complaining about everything around me. I mean, living life, breathing, feeling, is way worse than dying." I'll tell you who, 90% of Michigan.  I'm so sick of negative people. Let's all just be thankful we're alive. If you are able to complain about ANYTHING, be thankful to even have the chance to be alive and able to complain. Do you know how many people who's lives were taken way too young would give ANYTHING....ANYTHING to just, breathe? To wake up and do things. To kiss the person they love. To laugh so hard that you start crying. Just let the breeze hit your face and smile... realize that you were one of the lucky ones that survived to live another day.

Okay, a little dramatic I know, but hopefully you get the point. Anyways, other than Tennessee, I've just been spending time with my boyfriend and friends. We celebrated our 2 years on May 4th.. which is crazy to me. I feel like I've known him my whole life, but I also feel like we just met, weird? I can't really think about my life before him. It's as if he's always been there. So sappy and gay, I know, but it's the truth. Who would've thought I would've came back from the Caribbean, and the next day get dragged to a Tigers game by my friend Megan, and meet the love of my life. It's easy with him, you know? I've been in relationships that were so... up and down, stressful, hard. He's my perfect little happiness. Never argue, always play around. Everything with us is funny, and I think that's what makes us work. When you fall so deeply in love with someone that you truly, honest to God put them in front of your own self, it makes everything easy (if they do the same to you, of course). He's my best friend, my laughing partner, my absolute everything, and anything in between. I'm blessed beyond belief.


Okay, now that I've gone off the deep end with my hopeless romantic talk, I hope some of you are still reading this and haven't shot yourself by now. Since this is a music blog, I guess I should talk about that. Phoenix is one of my favorite bands. I love their sound, and how they stay true to it. They don't dramatically change it in order to get radio plays, they keep it how they like it. This song reminds me of summer, so I guess that's why I posted it. It's just a feel good song, so hopefully it makes you feel just that.
