Cannot get enough of this song.

Sleigh Bells - Rill Rill

New video from the excellent Sleigh Bells, get the album Treats now, best CD released in 2010 (all 30 mins of it still on repeat play in my car)!

This video is apparently shot at LnHS-Lancaster, CA.

“The original version was on an EP they released and was called “Ring Ring”…they changed it around a little bit and put it on the album as “Rill Rill”“

I’m downloading Holiday music and I’m looking for suggestions. What’s your favorite Christmas album, soundtrack, or song?

Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight

last night, 2AM interior of my apartment, this song blasting as loud as our speakers can handle. a knock on the door is heard. my roommate opens the door to find a police officer.

Roommate: what seems to be the problem, officer?
Officer: well, I happened to be walking by your door, and heard your music was a bit loud so- wait. is this Phil Collins?
Roommate: why, yes.
Officer: …I love this song.
Me (shouting over the music): want us to turn it down?
Officer: no no, leave this on. this is a really good song.

Turning this funny story into an emotional one:

My dad ALWAYS loved Phil Collins.  When my sister and I were younger he would wake us up by running on the treadmill in the basement singing Phil Collins loudly and as out of tune as possible.

This year when my mom, sister, boyfriend, and I got into our car after my dad’s funeral services at the church (before we lead the procession to the cemetery) this song was on the radio, and while we were beyond crushed that we were saying our finally goodbyes to our dad, it was a truly magical moment to know that he was there with us that moment saying goodbye or perhaps singing goodbye in an out of tune voice. 

We told everyone getting into their cars to turn on this radio station and all our family and friends did.  My boyfriend wanted to turn the volume on the radio down out of respect to the situation, but we couldn’t let him.

Sorry for turning a funny story into a sad one, but this song gets a thumbs up seal of approval by that police officer and me.  And oddly enough, I heard this song on my lunch break today.

I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life… oh Lord…

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I’d be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin’ do me
God only knows what I’d be without you

God only knows what I’d be without you
