Monday Playlist

I'm subbing today-- Geometry, my favorite (sarcasm!)-- and I have first period planning. So while I sit here and prepare, I've got my iTunes on shuffle. I've always been a slave to lyrics, often listening to the same song over and over not because of the beat or catchy refrain, but because of a lyric that expresses what's on my heart... or just makes me smile.

So here's what's up today:

1. Ben Harper- Gold to Me
"you make me wanna sing/ with all the joy you bring/ you look like gold"

2. Kari Jobe- Revelation Song
"Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder/ at the mention of your name/ Jesus, your name is power/ Breath, and living water/ Such a marvelous mystery"

3. John Mayer- Clarity
"But this morning there's a calm I can't explain/ the rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain"

4. Rilo Kiley- Breakin' Up
"Betrayal is a thorny crown/ you wear it well/ just like a king/ revenge is the saddest thing/ honey, I'm afraid to say/ you deserve everything"

5. Brooke Fraser- Shadowfeet
"When the world has fallen out from under me/ I'll be found in You, still standing/ when the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees/ when time and space are through/ I'll be found in You"

6. Jason Mraz- Beautiful Mess
"Although you were biased, I love your advice/ Your comebacks they're quick and probably/ have to do with your insecurities"

7. Taylor Swift- Last Kiss
"You can plan for a change in the weather and time/ But I never planned on you changing your mind."

8. Tim Myers- the Lucky Ones
"Lately I've been smiling outside/ I feel good, I feel light as a feather/ Open up the windows, look out at the sky/ Everything's better"

9. Nickel Creek- This Side
"One day you'll see her and you'll know what I mean/ Take her or leave her, she will still be the same/ She'll not try to buy you with her time/ But nothing's the same as you'll see when she's gone."

10. Otis Redding- Try a Little Tenderness
"You won't regret it, no no/ Some girls they don't forget it/ Love is their only happiness, yeah"
