May 2016
mossy rocks and harbours /
freshly cut grass and ant hills in the cracks of pavement /
the way my mom dressed in the 90's /
the taste of whiskey and the smell of wet wood /
a couple on a beach and a low tide /
spilling beer on clean satin /
of breakups, suicide, and cheap wine /
running from problems, never escaping and muddy shoes /
chai tea and petrichor /
a room, an open window and oversized white curtains and a breeze /
escaping writers block and tears, smiles, blood, and 100 poems /
drinking alone, a bar and a book, small talk, and silence /
searching and finding, lion's teeth and yellow-stained skin /

Trying something a little different here, something a little odd.
For the past three years there's been an album I've listened to by a band called The National and every song has a tangible representation. I have no idea in why it reminds me of what it does, but whenever the song was played the imagery depicted what was written above.
The lines are correlative with the track listing
1. "I Should Live in Salt" 4:08
2. "Demons" 3:32
3. "Don't Swallow the Cap" (Berninger, A. Dessner, Bryce Dessner) 4:46
4. "Fireproof" 2:58
5. "Sea of Love" 3:41
6. "Heavenfaced" (Berninger, B. Dessner) 4:23
7. "This Is the Last Time" (Berninger, A. Dessner, B. Dessner) 4:43
8. "Graceless" 4:35
9. "Slipped" 4:25
10. "I Need My Girl" 4:05
11. "Humiliation" (Berninger, A. Dessner, B. Dessner) 5:01
12. "Pink Rabbits" 4:36
13. "Hard to Find" (Berninger, B. Dessner)
