Number ten: “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel. I adore the soft indie vibe that Neutral Milk Hotel has. They create the kind of songs that people listen to laying under the stars reminiscing on lost love and old friends. “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea” is about life and how short it is‚ and how we need to appreciate the beautiful things before it’s too late. “…and one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea‚ but for now we are young let us lay in
