Fortune Teller - Maroon 5


So, I borrowed this Maroon 5 CD from the library and mainly listened to it in the shower. I was pleasantly surprised by this song in particular. I think because it is so repetitive, but with sweet piano notes over this techno oomph thing. For some reason, I like techno if it also has sweetness. Anyway, I'm pretty addicted to not only the sound, but the lyrics. To me, this is the story of a boy living and loving the moment and not understanding why his girl needs to have answers about their future together. Which, I can tell you is pretty common with some of my friends, I just so happen to be on his side at this moment. How can you know you'll always feel a certain way or just what the future holds?

I don't know what to tell you, I'm not a fortune teller.

Rhiannon - Stevie Nicks


I don't know why. Because...Stevie Nicks? But really, I suppose I was watching American Horror Story and that one crazy backwoods witch was obsessed with her songs, which sort of put me in the mood. And Rhiannon is just a good song that kind of takes you for a ride into...hippyville? I don't know. Somewhere nice and mellow and maybe a little magical.

Side note: I know a couple girls named Rhiannon and I thought to myself that they must always have people singing this song to them. And how awesome is that? The only song that I know my name's in is Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savannah) which is basically about this wicked cold bitch.


I guess that fits..."the meanest gal in town." But no one ever knows it because it was made in 1956 and apparently, normal people don't listen to music from 30 years before their birth. Woe is me.

ps. I guess there is Hannah by Ray Lamontagne (whose voice I hate) and Hannah by Freelance Whales (which I don't relate to at all...I do not take the stairs if there is an elevator). But I had to do a Google search for this information.

pps. Oh, also Hannah by Robert Downy Jr. ? Whaaaat?
