Fade into you
Free reign of Mazzy Star.
When my senses are heightened, that is what I want to hear. I love the way a dark, abandoned road feels while the simple progressions role through my car stereo. I love that you hate her, because I knew on a day like today- there would be nothing I’d rather here. Now I carry something different with me. It’s like seeing a car with traumatic dents and bends. It’s like seeing a man with a missing leg. We don’t need to ask what happened, to know that they’re alive and well. We don’t need to ask because we don’t want to hear it and they don’t want to live the memory.
Thank God for the damaged vehicles, Thank God for the men with missing legs.

I remember the first time I heard this song. I was wearing my cutoff overalls in the far back of the bierbus. The pals set up a nice loveseat camping chair so I could lay down. Vince was lending me his iPod so I wouldn’t completely die of bordum on the three hour drive to the campground. I got blazed. Skipped most of the songs that came up on shuffle. And then I met this beautiful collaboration. It was all so worth it. Yes. This is the song, forever and ever and thats all I have to say forever. Listen to it or die.

Sometimes called a moonbow, the band of colors is a nocturnal rainbow produced by light — in this case, from a full moon — as it passes through water droplets.
6 amazing things that city dwellers miss out on
"You don’t need to make your tastes a self-conscious statement about who you are. Just unapologetically like the things you like."
