If you’ve been an avid reader of my blog (if any of you exist, that’d be like.. super cool) then you know that the TV show One Tree Hill played a huge part in not only my teenage years, but my taste in music. Most notably, One Tree Hill introduced me to The Cure, but… Read More Songs I’ll always love- For Blue Skies- Strays Don’t Sleep
Amy Winehouse had a way with turning words into art with her unique, powerful, soulful voice. Back To Black showed the world that Amy was a force to be reckoned with, the entire album is anthem after anthem, each track full of raw emotion. I remember being in 7th grade when I heard this song on… Read More Songs I’ll Always Love: Back to Black -Amy Winehouse
I vividly remember being glued to the live YouTube feed of Coachella in the spring of 2015.

Overall, the album is a decent listen, but… Read More Tranquilize- The Killers/Lou Reed
While not all of my “Songs I’ll Always Love” posts will be this lengthy, I feel as though I have to explain the background of my URL and overall obsession with The Cure, because it’s quite honestly a pretty weird story. When I was a freshman in high school I entered a somewhat unhealthy period… Read More Boys Don’t Cry- The Cure
As an avid music lover/border line obsessive vinyl collector- the challenge of organizing my favorite songs has never been easy.
