the return
Hey all! I'm so sorry for the lack of icons. I've moved to Chicago and I started college this fall, so things have been fairly hectic. I only have a handful of icons for you as well as a music mix I made. There are only a few icons, and they are just completely random things I have made for mysef the past few weeks. A bigger post hopefully coming soon :)

This ended up being an incredibly personal mix I made up a few days ago. I've been really questioning what I want to do with my life, and where I want to be right now. The only answer I have for myself is New York City. Cliche, but true. So, I made this mix so that I could listen to it and just wallow in it? It was also partially inspired by my maaahvelous friend Quinn (aslongasitsfree ) Because it's so personal, I'm not really going to do an in-depth explanation, but there is definitely a common thread between the songs for me. Hope you enjoy!
♪ caged bird: alicia keys
They don't know how I feel inside // Through my smile I cry; // They don't know what they're doing to me // Keeping me from flying.
♪ a piece of sky: barbra streisand
Each mile I travel only means // The more I have to go. // Whats wrong with wanting more? // If you can fly - then soar! // With all there is - why settle for // Just a piece of sky?
(So, uh. I'm pretty much a giant nerd for using this in a mix, but, whatever. YENTL CHANGED MY LIFE. ;D)
♪ astonishing: little women original broadway cast
There's a life that I am meant to lead // A life like nothing I have known // I can feel it // And it's far from here // I've got to find it on my own
♪ waiting for my real life to begin: colin hay
And you say, be still my love // Open up your heart, let the light shine in // Don't you understand // I already have a plan // I'm waiting for my real life to begin
♪ clean getaway: maria taylor
Felt just like home. // Except no grass, no yard, no pictures. // I could see across to the park. // And there were friends, they were laughing hard. // They looked just like my home. // With no face, no name, no voice I'd know.
♪ chelsea: counting crows
I dream I'm in New York City some nights. // Angels flow down from all the buildings // Something about an angel just kills me // I keep hoping something will
♪ manhattan: ella fitzgerald
'll take Manhattan // the Bronx, and Staten Island too // it's lovely going through the zoo
♪ la vie boheme: rent movie cast
Why Dorothy & Toto went over the rainbow // to blow off Auntie Em // La vie boheme
(Technically, not about New York, but the people singing it are New Yorkers and I definitely feel like it connects to the New York Artist's state of mind.
♪ falling slowly: once movie cast
Take this sinking boat and point it home // We've still got time // Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice //You've made it now
(Um. So, this song really has absolutely nothing to do with New York. At all. But, for whatever reason, I think it feels like New York. Plus, it's just a pretty song that I think everyone should have, so.)
♪ nyc: annie tv movie cast
NYC // I give you fair warning // Up there, in lights // I'll be
(Again, just cofirmation of my loser status. But this song is fantastic, and ANDREA FREAKING MCARDLE. And Audra McDonald Love 'em)
♪ new york, new york: frank sinatra
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray // Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York
♪ new york state of mind: billy joel
It comes down to reality // And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide // Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside // I don't have any reasons // I've left them all behind // I'm in a New York state of mind
(This is basically, well, my state of mind at the moment. Sigh, New York.)
