Favorite: Emotional Songs
Artist: Brandi Carlile
Song of the day: That Year

Now after a year of song blogging you know I like emotionally deep songs, the closer I am to crying the better. It might have something to do with my passive personality that likes to hold it all in as much as I can which either eventually turns into weird outbursts or ugly public crying, but more hopefully finds an outlet in these types of songs. The lists of artists who master this could go on forever, but recently seeing a back to back acoustic show (thanks to my amazing friend Sean) I don't think any artist I have seen live creates that type of raw emotion in every single song she writes and sings. I've been in a constant goose bump state for the past 48hours because of it. It is the type of "self centered" writing that makes me want to hear ever person's song in the world, because it's so revealing so telling in who that person is deep down. Too bad we all don't know how to share our own songs like this. But if you are in the need of some goose bumps as an outlet for your own story or a strangers, get ready to shiver.



I must have been sleeping,
I must have been drinking,
I havent been dreaming about you for years.
There was a sharp turn and a sunburn
I was too cool for high school that year.

Must have have been new years, no one invited you,
You took things too far but i missed you
And your antics. you were lonesome and
Blue-eyed and so special to us.

You should have taken a long break
Instead of a long drop from a high place.
Ten years i never spoke your name.
Now it feels good to say it. your my friend again.

Said he forgave you, i said i hated you,
He was the bigger man, i was sixteen.
All the innosence it took well
I guess you finally made the year book. that year.
That year.

You should have taken a long break
Instead of a long drop, instead of a leap of faith,
Ten years i never spoke your name,
Now it feels good to say it youre my friend again.

I was angry
I was a daughter
I was a baptist
I was wrong
