Favorite Songs from 2018
Damien Jurado – Over Rainbows and Rainier
Was Lucifer bashful
In hiding his face from the Lord
Dear Jesus, forgive me
I'm only doing as I was told
For as it is written
I will soon one day face my own fire
And this world will go with me
If I can just get them all on my side
Darlingside – Extra Life
It's over now
The flag is sunk
The world has flattened out
Under the underground
I've always found
A level further down
As I begin to lose hold of
The fiery flowerbeds above
Mushroom clouds reset the sky
Extralife
Janelle Monáe – Make Me Feel
You know I love it, so please don't stop it
You got me right here, in your jean pocket (right now)
Laying your body on a shag carpet, ooh
You know I love it, so please don't stop it
Lucy Dacus – Night Shift
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
Mitski – Nobody
And I don't want your pity
I just want somebody near me
Guess I'm a coward
I just want to feel alright
And I know no one will save me
I just need someone to kiss
Give me one good honest kiss
And I'll be alright
Neko Case – Hell On
And me, I am not a mess
I am a wilderness, yes
The undiscovered continent for you to undress
But you'll not be my master
You're barely my guest
You don't have permission to take any pictures
Be careful of the natural world
Robyn – Honey
Let go of your doubts, say yes
Let it soak up into the flesh
Never had this kind of nutrition
And the waves come in and they're golden
But down in the deep the honey is sweeter
Sylvan Esso – PARADE(w/m)E
It's all gone but here we're gonna stay
Anyway but, the concrete is limp
So we're making a parade
It goes left, nothing there
It goes right, watch your step
It goes left, don't look now
It goes right, look straight ahead
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
Maybe there's some food up there
Yuno – No Going Back
I know
There's no going back for me, baby
You’re nowhere I wanna be
There's no going back for me, baby
Maybe you'll know how I feel
