Music Monday: The First Of Many

Google Images

Like I mentioned in my About, music is something that is apart of nearly every moment of my day. As a result I am constantly looking for new artists and bands to obsess over. Whether the genre is rap, pop, indie, country or anything in between, I will probably love it. I recently began making monthly playlists on my Spotify (you can make an account for FREE!!) and it has been so fun to find old and new songs and artists and add them to each months playlist. In a way it is kind of like a music diary of sorts. Each month is different, I experience different things and my music sometimes expresses that. However, not every song in each playlist depicts something I am going through, some I just enjoy listening and dancing around the room to.

Since I have such a love for music, I thought it would be fun to share some of that with you. Every Monday I will pick 5 of my favorite songs from that week. I know music can be a tricky thing to share with people because people have such distinct tastes in music, but I hope that my wide range in musical taste can cater to many different people. Plus, you never know, just because a song isn't by an artist you would normally listen to or is from a genre you don't typically like it may surprise you. It might even become your new favorite jam! I mean you'll never know unless you listen to it.. Just saying :)

Alright so here are some of the songs that I have been really loving recently, all of which are from my February 2015 playlist on Spotify:

1. Infinity by AJR

This song is just adorable! If you are looking for a cute love song, look no further, it's right here. My favorite lyrics are "Cross my heart and hope to die Since you came into my life My momma says to pick the best And you are it". Love, love, love! AJR is a fairly new band of 3 brothers and I am really rooting for them to do well out in the music industry! I think they are super talented. Also, is it just me or do they remind you of like a new Jonas Brothers?? *fingers crossed*






2. A Love Like War by All Time Low ft. Vic Fuentes

For those who aren't fans of the bubblegum pop love songs there are songs like this. Except it's not really a love song.. Basically this song is about a more toxic relationship that is clearly not working anymore... "Heart's on fire tonight Feel my bones ignite Feels like war, war". This song is also quite a bit heavier, not heavy, but  definitely heavier that AJR's Infinity. I am a pretty big fan of both All Time Low and Pierce the Veil (the band Vic Fuentes is the lead singer of), so when I saw that they collaborated on a song I got really excited! I am basically in love with this song.. :)



3. Brother by NEEDTOBREATHE ft. Gavin DeGraw

This song. I honestly don't even know where to begin. I love everything, everything about this song. NEEDTOBREATHE is amazing like always and Gavin DeGraw is such an amazing touch to an already great song! I could easily listen to this song all day long. If you like music you will probably like this song. It is amazing! In fact I listened to this song on repeat for like an hour the other day.

"Brother let me be your shelter
I'll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low"



4. Pray to God by Calvin Harris ft. Haim

If you like fun, upbeat, dance music here is a new song to obsess over. You're welcome! :) First off Calvin Harris is not only gorgeous but really talented (in my opinion). Secondly, Haim is like the coolest girl group out there today. Actually they are really the only girl group I know of... Anyways, since these two are awesome on their own, a collaboration between them is destined to be amazing. And it is! "I lost the feeling but I try to hold on I thought the end of a love and what made you strong I pray to god, I just don't know anymore". 




5. Jukebox (Life Goes On) by The Summer Set

Sometimes it's just nice to get a reminder that things are going to be okay. And that is exactly what The Summer Set gives you with their song Jukebox (Life Goes On). This may be a kind of strange song to be in love with in the middle of February because it has a definite summer vibe to it. But who cares! It is a great song and who doesn't need a little dose of summer in the middle of a rough Minnesota winter. 

"Life goes on
We got all night
If you got rock and roll
You're gonna be alright"



Love Always,
