I'm always looking for unique and inspiring new songs. During my first semester of college my friend, Victoria Harmon, showed me a song called, "How Do I Tell A Girl I Want To Kiss Her?" I was in love with the song immediately. The vocals are sort of weak at times but there is something about the way that they are sung that lets you know that the point of the song isn't how it sounds, it's the story it tells. The lyrics are by far the strongest point of this song; they are so meaningful. The melody is also pretty catchy, which helps the song tremendously. At the time, Victoria and I were both under the impression that the song's creator was the band, Modern Baseball. Victoria had discovered the song through Tumblr and the post it was linked to said "by Modern Baseball." I later discovered the song on YouTube. I listened to one of Modern Baseball's albums titled, "You're Gonna Miss It All" and began to research the band further. I discovered that Modern Baseball has released two albums, with a third coming soon sometime this year. None of the tracks listed on the albums were that of the song "How Do I Tell A Girl I Want To Kiss Her?" I decided to start reading the comments posted under the video I found and discovered that the song was the result of a solo project that was created by Modern Baseball's band member, Brendan Lukens. I was extremely excited to find his solo album online. I'll put a link to that here if you are interested in downloading his work, and just click the album artwork if you want to hear the song that this blog post is about!

  1. The instrumental intro is a total "looking out the window while in a moving car during an indie film" vibe and I love it. That middle section where sound clips from rom-coms are put in...YES. These lyrics too, ugh. Glad you shared! :)
