The cutest and most heatbreaking songs ever written..


The song that I think is the cutest song ever written is The Bealtes- I've Just Seen a Face- it's so simple and really short, just over 2 min long, but there is something about its innocence that makes it sooo adorable.

The most heartbreaking song ever written in my opinion, and a lot of people disagree with me, is Bob Dylan's If You See Her Say Hello. This song comes off of Dylan's album Blood on the Tracks, which is supposedly all about Dylan's divorce with his wife Sara. "If she's passing back this way I'm not that hard to find, tell her she can look me up if shes got the time" OHHH BOB! That's so pathetically sad.

Being Misunderstood Through the Years




I was recently listening to the Weezy album and came to the realization that the song Misunderstood (or Don't Let Be Misunderstood) is glorious in all forms!

Nina Simone- Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

The Animals- Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Weezy- Misunderstood

Common- Misunderstood

Born Ruffians- Red, Yellow and Blue


The Born Ruffians are an awesome band apart of the ever popular indie movement coming out of Canada (hats off to America's hat). The album Red, Yellow and Blue is a very feel-good album and quickly came to define our summer. Although the entire album is good and you should definitely devote a good week of your life to listening to it here are some of our favorite tracks...

I Need a Life- one of the best songs of the year and a perfect anthem for those of us who get really hung over and don't like hearing shit from people, cause hey, we make it out at night! Fun fact: when first hearing the chorus Whit thought that the "oh but we go out at night part" was "all black people go out at night" while I thought it was "old white people go out at night", needless to say that is not what the song was about.

Foxes Mate for Life
- who doesn't like to picture a cute little fox couple loving each other forever, this song is cute as hell. And true!

Badonkadonkey- "I'll keep you in my pocket for when I get home!" This reminds me of a dream my friend Sarah had when she had to keep Angelina Jolie in her pocket.

Kurt Vonnegut- awesome song named after a cool person.

But seriously if you are taking our advice LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM ITS ALL GOOD!!
