Procrastination with Rachael Yamagata's Music

I find myself in music cycles. I'll like certain songs and play them continuously for a while until I come across something new (or something old from a previous cycle), and the cycle starts again. Recently, my playlist is dominated by Rachael Yamagata, who has a similar style to Fiona Apple but definitely stands out as being unique. I highly recommend her music and am looking forward to her next album, which I think she is currently recording. I'm so into her music right now that it's distracting me from studying for my chem final. I'd rather just lie in bed and listen to her songs than study. And now I'm even writing about it in my blog. Talk about procrastination. :) Anyway, the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, 1963, of hers is below.


1963

Baby, I'm stuck in the middle and I don't know why
Find the words you sing to me
Sweeter than the words of the bird in the sky
Oh, the days you came around
I feel so good for me
I can take most anything
'Cause what you bring

I find it to be magical (hey)
I feel like I'm loving you in 1963 (hey)
Flowers in my hair (hey)
Little bitty hearts upon my cheek
Baby, you'll be on my mind
'till I kiss you next time

Baby, come on, take a ride in my little blue bug
Keep the windows down
Don't forget to celebrate the radio's up
Oh, the way you hold my hand
There is no other way
We could take a thousand walks
And laugh all day

I find it to be magical (hey)
I feel like I'm loving you in 1963 (hey)
Flowers in my hair (hey)
Little bitty hearts upon my cheek
Baby, you'll be on my mind
'till I kiss you next time

I find it to be magical (hey)
I feel like I'm loving you in 1963 (hey)
Flowers in my hair (hey)
Little bitty hearts upon my cheek
Baby, you'll be on my mind
'till I kiss you next time

Magical (hey)
I feel like I'm loving you in 1963 (hey)
Flowers in my hair (hey)
Little bitty hearts upon my cheek
Baby, you'll be on my mind
'till I kiss you next time

Hey, hey, I find it magical (hey)
Hey, hey, I feel like I'm loving you in 1963 (hey)
Hey, hey, I got flowers in my hair (hey)
Hey, hey, little bitty hearts upon my cheek...
