30 songs. #2
#4: a song that makes you sad.
what is it with me and sad songs?! i recently decided that i have a weird love of sad songs. i don't know why. because i think i would consider myself a pretty happy person. but alas, i like a lot of songs that make me sad. city okay, i think this is a little sad, but it's sooo great to sing along to ( i may or may not have had personal experience with this). mad world this song has a sort of eerie melody but i still love it. the lyrics are kind of depressing too, but still--i like it. and if you click on the link i think the music video for this one is pretty cool. winter song ingrid and sara are two of my all time favorite artists. i think this song is beautiful even though it is sad.
well...i was going to do #5 (a song that reminds you of someone) but i've decided to that it deserves it's own post. so check back soon for that!
p.s. if you are feeling sad because of the previous songs, just listen to this. happiness will be restored. the gambler.
77 plays on my iTunes. love it.
hooray for music!

30 songs.
thanks to brynn for the ideas...i've decided to do my own version of the 30-day song challenge. (i'm going to do more than one a day)
#1: your favorite song.
you've got a friend i love this song because it reminds me of singing with my dad/family. it also is a song that i would love to sing to every one of my friends. i feel lucky to have such amazing friends and i hope that i can do as much for them as they have for me. (cheesy but true)
favorite line: "now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend, when people can be so cold. they'll hurt you, yes, and desert you and take your soul if you let them, oh but don't you let them."
runners up: stop this train first of all, i love john mayer. this song reminds me about living life spontaneously and enjoying where i am. favorite line: "so scared of getting older, i'm only good at being young. but i play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun. had a talk with my old man, said help me understand he said 'turn 68, you'll renegotiate' don't stop this train, don't for a minute change the place your in..." (okay, sorry. that was more like the entire chorus) circle of life i feel like this doesn't need much explaining...it gives me the chills everytime i see/listen to it. it reminds me of so many good times. and that's what a good song should do right?
#2: your least favorite song.
bad romance seriously overplayed, and it's lady gaga. need i say more? NOT a fan.
#3: a song that makes you happy.
everybody this song currently has the most plays on my iTunes. and for a good reason! it has such a happy tune and it's fun to sing along to (plus... less lyrics to memorize). favorite line: "just open up your chest and let it in, just let the love, love, love begin"
runners up: man in the mirror how can michael jackson not make you happy?! the lyrics of this song are superb. favorite line: "if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change." put your records on definition of happy right there. another one i love to sing along with. it's a simple reminder to be yourself. "the more things seem to change, the more they stay the same oh don't you hesitate."
