We Don’t Talk About that Anymore
And the hours moved along just like any other day
But the sun went down and I closed my eyes
You were a thousand miles away

Fists Up and Ready to Brawl
You know you can’t change me
And I know I can’t change you
Remember back in the day when
Neither of us wanted too

In Spite of All It Brings
Irene rolled in at midnight
Lit on smoke and beer
Proudly crawled to the porch and called,
“Your favorite child is here.”

Look Out Mama
There’s a white boat comin’ down the river. With a big red beacon and a flag, and a man on the rail. I think you’d better call John ’cause it don’t look like they’re here to deliver the mail.
About
Author Ken Bielen compares Powderfinger to film noir because the narrator has died before the song begins, and notes that the song “has remained in high regard over the decades.” Bielen regards the theme as “the tragic and wasteful loss of youth to conflicts between countries and their leaders.”

All This Time Has Only Made Me Older
Would you know me if I walked through your doorway?
Would you hold me like you’ve done before?
Will there be a place for me?
Down Like Silver, from Money Heist. Cassidy told me a year or so ago that it was the best show on TV. She was right, as usual.

I’ll forget you. This, folks, is mighty fine country music.
About
Raised under the rays of the sun in Huntington Beach, CA, Victoria Bailey was surrounded by music in her household from an early age. From her drumming father’s rock ’n’ roll band practices to her mom playing the narrative-driven songbooks of folk icons like Cat Stevens and James Taylor, Bailey was naturally drawn to music and the art of storytelling. After falling in love with the guitar at the age of 12, she quickly developed an affinity for songwriting in her late teens and garnered the kind of support system every musical child would dream of: her father was so impressed by her talent that he called on his three musically-inclined best friends to join him in becoming his daughter’s backing band, eventually performing shows around town.

The Four Best Songs, Ever
So my best songs ever list changes like the weather. But these four have been up there for a while. So there.
This is the best song ever written. I’m certain of this. What an amazing thing it must be to feel this way about another person. Or to have someone feel like this about you.
This is probably the second best song ever written. I’ve felt this way for a while.
And number three. Three.
And the way I should have felt every time I left some place I used to be.
