I'll choose unloved instead

Artist- Little Joy
Song of the day- Unattainable

There is a point of time kind of around 2008 where there is a gap in music for me do to being in a Montana bubble and oversees. I think I've caught up on the majority of things I missed which mainly just included the rise of the Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber craze, but every now and again I still find something and i'm like how could I possibly have missed this it's so fabulous! This just happened with the Little Joys when in the moment today's song started playing I knew I liked it. It's just so sweet and lovely with an undertow of totally hip having members of bands like the Strokes involved. It makes me want to skip on sand and ponder about all my unattainable crushes. So if you're in a skipping on sand mood or just like loveliness, this one's for you.



Only when the goal is unattainable
do I start to feel like I'm losing myself
and this deep secret
that hasn't come out yet
is buried down deep with the rest

I can't coerce you into this one
Jealousy lay all your spells to bed
I'll choose unloved instead

If only songs were sung
to guide the doubtful ones
beyond the rough
where not as much is good enough
Oh, if you find yourself
amongst the lonely ones
I'll be waiting here with open arms

I can't coerce you into this one
Jealousy lay all your spells to bed
I'll choose unloved instead
