♬ I once had a girl, or should I say she once had me. ♬

Set Fire to the Rain
Adele

♬ My hands, they’re strong, but my knees were far too weak to stand in your arms without falling to your feet. ♬

Be My Baby
The Ronettes

♬ I’ll make you happy, baby, just wait and see. For every kiss you give me, I’ll give you three. So won’t you please be my, be my baby. Be my little baby. ♬

The husband and I have taken to going out for quick dates while Corwin’s asleep with the nanny watching over him. It physically hurt me to leave him the first time, but it’s become a bit more bearable. I do my best not to call often to check up on them. Anyway, they always play this song at our favorite hangout these days, and it’s stuck in my head tonight. It makes me want to order a milkshake with two straws.

I am not depressed. I just like sad bastard music.

Shelter
Ray LaMontagne

♬ Listen, when all of this around us will fall over, I tell you what we’re gonna do. You will shelter me, my love, and I will shelter you. I will shelter you. ♬

I made a list of songs for your first dance awhile back, and this was in it. Shelter is a word that I respond viscerally to, much like solace and home. It’s about a sense of belonging like no other, a love that gathers you and keeps you safe and close.

How to Disappear Completely
Radiohead

♬ Strobe lights and blown speakers. Fireworks and hurricanes. I’m not here. This isn’t happening. ♬

A Case of You
Joni Mitchell

♬ Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine, you taste so bitter and so sweet. I could drink a case of you, darling, and I would still be on my feet. I would still be on my feet. ♬

Paradise
Coldplay

♬ When she was just a girl, she expected the world, but it flew away from her reach. So she ran away in her sleep, and dreamed of paradise every time she closed her eyes. ♬

I’m Old Fashioned

Heart Skipped a Beat
The xx

♬ Sometimes, I still need you. Sometimes, I still need you. ♬

Bohemian Rhapsody
Queen

I moved in with my dad when I hit 1st grade. I was 6. He was in his mid-20s, younger than I am now. I missed my mom and was used to my mom singing me to sleep, so I asked my dad to sing me a lullaby. The only song he could sing off the top of his head was this. So this became my lullaby growing up.

My son was fussy tonight so I played this on my phone and sang along. He calmed down. We’re off to a good start, little one.

I Found a Reason
(Velvet Underground cover)
Cat Power

♬ Oh, I do believe in all the things you say. What comes is better that what came before. And you’d better run run, run run to me. Better run, run run, run run to me. Better come, come come, come come to me. You’d better run. ♬

Can’t Help Falling in Love
Ingrid Michaelson

♬ So won’t you please just take my hand, and take my whole life too, ‘cause I can’t help falling in love with you. ♬

Shimmer
Fuel

♬ She calls me from the cold just when I was low, feeling short of stable. And all that she intends, all she keeps inside isn’t on the label. ♬

This brings me back to my freshman year at college. And Winamp.

Float On
Modest Mouse

♬ And we’ll all float on okay, and we’ll all float on okay. ♬

Baby is dancing to this right now. 38 weeks today.
