Down

For those times when it's not quite right.
For those days that don't go smoothly
For when you have questions
For when you realize it's more complicated than you thought
For feeling blue
For when maybe you're not feeling like yourself

Not every day can be great, not every minute can be perfect.

Sometimes I like to listen to somber tunes when these low days or moments happen, as they inevitably will. And I think it's ok to indulge in them, to really allow that vulnerability to sink in, because it makes the brighter days and moments that much sweeter and that much more worthwhile. Click on these and they'll keep you company when you stumble.

"Yesterday"- The Beatles

"Empty"- The Cranberries

"Hurt" - Johnny Cash (Nine Inch Nails cover)

"Dying in the Sun"- The Cranberries

"Remember" - Harry Nilsson

"Hallelujah" - Jeff Buckley

"Yesterday"- Boys II Men

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - Judy Garland


Much love,

Genevieve

  3. I love The Beatles' Yesterday. Awesome song. I also like a few good jazz tunes, like Blue Train by John Coltrane and Blue in Green by Miles, Bill Evans, and Co.
