The moral of this story / It's simple but it's true / Hey, the stars might lie / But the numbers never do / I feel lucky / I feel lucky, yeah / Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way / Mmmmm I feel lucky today

“I Feel Lucky” - Mary Chapin Carpenter

(feel free to send me moodboard requests!)

everything is so benign / the safest place you'll ever find / at least until you change your mind / he think he'll keep her

[gotweim]

It's a song that you danced to in high school

It's a moon you tried to bring down

On a four in the morning drive

Through the streets of town

Okay so I have been listening to a lot of Gordon Lightfoot and Stan Rogers, so the YouTube Music algorithm fed me this:

And I IMMEDIATELY thought, "That is from Fly Away Home, the 1996 movie about Anna Paquin teaching geese to migrate with an airplane."

...Of all the things lodged in my brain, why is every specific thing about that movie still up there? I don't even remember liking it, because it was boring and her dad acted like my dad and that was annoying, and also, you realize American hunters are just going to shoot these birds, what are we doing here?

But I guess I was 14 and my brain was a sponge at the time, and I had little sisters so we probably had the VHS at the time and rewatched it like 3 times a week.

...No shade on this song. This song fucking rocks.

I don't even know if the movie is good or bad. You have to pay $4 to rent it, because it is one of THOSE. And if I'm not paying to watch A24 movies, I am certainly not paying to watch this, Sony Pictures, you awful goblins.

Why Walk When You Can Fly - Mary Chapin Carpenter

This song has been stuck in my head all morning. It’s “old” now (1994!), but if you’ve never before heard it, give it a listen. Beautiful lyrics. This is a live performance as I like them better.

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2023.

Mary Chapin Carpenter - "Jubilee"

"And I can tell by the way you're standing With your eyes filling with tears That its habit alone keeps you turning for home Even though your home is right here Where the people who love you are gathered Under the wise wishing tree May we all be considered then straight on delivered Down to the jubilee 'Cause the people who love you are waiting And they'll wait just as long as need be When we look back and say those were halcyon days We're talking 'bout jubilee..."

This came out when I was a bright and young 16 years old. I still love Mary Chapin Carpenter's 10,000 Miles as a result. In fact, I still love this movie.

howdy! 🤠 spotify wrapped 🎁 : 1. 5. 13. 27. 32. 45. 59. 62. 77. 86. 94. 100 👀

girlllll howdy thanku. okay

1. I Take My Chances (Mary Chapin Carpenter): oh i love all the lyrics of this. big reason it's my number one probably. toss-up between 'some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate / for them i cannot disagree / but i never learnt nothing by playing it safe / i say fate should not tempt me' and 'but i can cry until i laugh / or laugh until i cry / so cut the deck right in half / i'll play from either side'

5. Shut Up And Kiss Me (also Mary Chapin Carpenter): talk is cheap and baby, time's expensive / so why waste another minute or more / life's too short to be so apprehensive / love's as much a symptom, darling, as the cure

13. Anyone For You (Tiger Lily) (George Ezra): and if you're flying over the Serengeti, Tiger Lily, don't forget me / the way I am not the way I was which, coincidentally, is also his favourite lyric from it. or at least that's what he said when we saw him in concert a couple weeks ago.

27. Passionate Kisses (....also Mary Chapin Carpenter. i swear there's lots of other people on this playlist): is it too much to demand / i want a full house and a rock and roll band / pens that won't run out of ink / and cool quiet and time to think

32. Iris Rose (Orville Peck): but i hear the wild winds are clever / red sand keeps you waiting now / sing it loud so you don't have to shout

45. If I Should Fall Behind (Brucccceee): yes this is just an entire verse but we swore we'd travel, darling, side by side / and we'd help each other stay in stride / but each lover's steps fall so differently / but I'll wait for you / and if i should fall behind, wait for me

59. Cup of Tea (Kacey Musgraves): maybe your hair's way too long / your sister's in jail or maybe you failed out of college / but hey, life goes on

62. Starlight (Yola): there's a lot of objectively better writing in this song but i just love the rhythm of I've been thinkin' 'bout your kissin' / lord knows what i've been missin'

77. Hold On Forever (Rob Thomas): I mean i'm not gonna lie it's i'll keep you warm like a sweater / take my hand, hold on forever but it's ALSO so many roads you don't know where you've been / but you still know who you are

86. Hey Good Lookin' (Jimmy Buffett et al.): sdfkh this is obviously a very intellectual song with a lot of supremely deep lyrics to choose from. it's gotta be i'm gonna throw my date book over the fence / buy me one for five or ten cents / keep it till it's covered with age / 'cause i'm writing your name down on every page

94. Walking Through Fire (Mary Chapin Carpenter! she's back!): i've been scorched by desire / but baby, I am not your deceiver or your eloquent liar

100. Let's Get Married (Bleachers): i know it's bad when we look out / but bad bad people don't live in our house so / i'm gonna get right for you, honey / take all of my medicine, spend you all my money

send me numbers and i’ll tell you my wrapped song it corresponds to and my favourite lyric from it!
