Live, breathe, lyric

I live for New Music Tuesdays on iTunes.  I've spent, literally, thousands of dollars on music over the years.  I turn it way up in my little toyota, crank it and belt the words to myself.  I love that moment when you hear a line in a song and you're hooked: you know what that line means, you know how that line feels, or it's just clever and, man, with that beat it's perfect.

My favorite lines out of all of my thousands of songs? No competition, it's the lines from Summer Skin,  Death Cab for Cutie.

On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit
And we left our love in our summer skin
