SUMMER ANTHEM 2K13
Miley Cyrus, “Jolene” (Dolly Parton Cover)
I don’t know if y’all know this, but this cover of Dolly Parton’s masterpiece is the best thing Miley has ever done, hands down. I wish she’d do more stuff like this. She really is a talented young lady.
Anya Marina, “Whatever You Like” [T.I. cover]
THIS BLOWS MY MIND. Beautiful. Amazing. Who knew this song was poignant?

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, “All Over You”
i keep on telling myself I’m not falling all over all over / but my love is water / and i wanna rain all over all over you / i creep i quiver i cry i’d shiver all over all over / and if love is water then babe i’m gonna rain all over you
Carolina Chocolate Drops, “Cornbread and Butterbeans”
I’m pretty sure this should be on the Mockingjay soundtrack.
bittersweet are the memories / that make old lovers pine/ but i’ll trade all the memories/ just to have your heart in mine
oh my darling oh my darling / how can you forget / all the love we had between us / now it’s like we’ve never met
Norah Jones, “The Long Way Home”
you know i love you baby / more than the whole wide world / i’m your woman / you know you are my pearl / let’s go out past the party lights / we can finally be alone / come with me / we can take the long way home
Sons of Bill, “Virginia Calling”
ain’t it funny how you pray for rain / and then you bitch about the rust / you go reaching for the sands of time / wind up with a hand full of dust
(I went to university with these guys! Good ole alt-country boys with hearts of gold.)
Carolina Chocolate Drops, “Leaving Eden”
And the mockingbird can sing / Like the crying of the dove / And I can’t tell my daughters / All the things that I am scared of / But I am not afraid of that bright glory up above / Dying’s just another way to lead the ones you love
I can see Katniss singing this ditty straight out of District 12 to her little Mellark babies in the Meadow as Peeta rocks them to sleep.
(P.S. If you aren’t listening to the Carolina Chocolate Drops, what are you doing with your life? If you like alt-country, bluegrass, rock, etc., you will dig this band. It reminds me of the music from the Land of the Pines and evokes so many good feelings.)
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, “Parachute Heart”
and yeah / you’re gone like the wind and it don’t even matter / i fly above it all and watch the world shatter / we had a skydive love affair / doomed from the very start / so you can throw my love to the wind / i’ll just float back to the ground / with my parachute heart
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, “Keepsake”
you always hated the way i live / you never wanted the things i had to give / but still there’s something that keeps you holding on / leavin’ me is something only you can do / i’ll never be the one to say we’re through / but if you play the game / i’m gonna play the fool
