The One That Got Away
I know I can’t be the only one who was devastated when The Civil Wars announced they were taking a break/breaking up/confused. Exciting news, folks: they’ve released a new single. And…I love it! So, so good.
Apparently the breakup thing didn’t go so well because they’re releasing a new album on August 6. Or maybe it did and it has produced enough inspiration for more moody music. Either way, I say “hooray!”

Music Obsession: Citizen Cope
You may recognize a few Citizen Cope songs from radio, tv and commercials. Mumbles and I saw one of his shows at House of Blues Anaheim a few years ago and it was incredible — he has super passionate fans that love his music and he sounds amazing live. Here are some of my favorite songs:
Son’s Gonna Rise
Bullet and a Target
Sideways
If There’s Love
Let the Drummer Kick

Here are some of my favorites for cloudy days and general crankiness…

- “My Number” by Tegan & Sara
- “Feeling Good” by Michael Buble
- “Bullet & A Target” by Citizen Cope
- “You Know I’m No Good” by Amy Winehouse
- “All I Want” by Susie Suh
Do you have a favorite song you listen to when your mood is a little darker than usual?
Spread JAM Here:
“I’ll be there for you”
I cringe every time I watch this but it’s so endearing and actually, he’s pretty darn good!
Have you ever really put yourself out there or done something embarrassing?
Cheers to being brave!
