Favorite Songs from 2019

Billie Eilish – bury a friend

What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

Big Thief – Not

It's not the room
Not beginning
Not the crowd
Not winning
Not the planet
Not spinning
Not a ruse
Not heat
Not the fire lapping up the creek
Not food
Not to eat

Black Pumas – Black Pumas

With all my favorite colors, yes, sir
All my favorite colors, right on
My sisters and my brothers
See ’em like no other
All my favorite colors

Kevin Morby – No Halo

When I was a boy
No rooftop on my joy
When I was a child
No one, nowhere, no how, nothing was not made of fire

Lizzo – Cuz I Love You

Never been in love before
What the fuck are fucking feelings, yo?
Once upon a time, I was a ho
I don't even wanna ho no mo’
Got you something from the liquor store
Little bit of Lizzo and some Mo
Tryna open up a little mo'
Sorry if my heart a little slow

Rex Orange County – Pluto Projector

This right here still feels like a honeymoon
When you say my name, nothing's changed
I'm still a boy inside my thoughts
Am I meant to understand my faults?

– Grey & Green

 Everybody's body sways
In unfamiliar funny ways
Traveling on rainbow
Wheels of color down below
The crows pecking suet-surfaced streets
The subway sounds resounding beats
Beckoning me to retreat
On the heels of mighty feet!

– Nice Things

 So I hit him on a Tuesday (Tuesday)
Making sure I ain't too busy
That the only time I'm in your city
'Cause I ain't had no nice things in a minute
Why don't we go shopping for the vintage?

Telekinesis – Cut the Quick

It's alright when you're coming undone
I feel my heart skipping like a stone on the sun
Just when I thought I tried every trick in the book
I see my premonition, by hook or by crook
