A good friend of mine asked me about two weeks ago to stop putting up so much poetry all the time and just talk for a change. So for the past two weeks, I've been trying to figure out what to post. Then yesterday, it came and smacked me in the face - I should tell the people what the heck it is that I listen to in those ear buds I wear all the time. So I came up with a list of my 15 favorite songs of this year. I hope you'll like them.
1. I Swear This Time I Mean It - Mayday Parade
Mayday Parade has become my favorite band of the 2010-11' school year, just because their lyrics are really emotional. I really enjoy the style of this song - just a guy singing about how he misses his girl, and how he wants to protect her, but he thinks that he's not good enough for her.
2. No Way Out - This Century
I actually found This Century on accident, and now I'm quite the fan. The song itself is nice, and it's really nice to just relax and listen to.
3. Party Foul (2008 Version) - Danger Radio
I love the funk meets rock with Danger Radio. Their music always makes me want to dance, and it's all really fun stuff.
4. Beauty in the Breakdown - The Scene Aesthetic
This song makes me want to go out side on a sunny day and lay in the grass. I love the acoustic sound of this song. It's really beautiful.
5.Giving Yourself Away - Artist vs. Poet
I am a loyal devotee of Artist vs. Poet, and I just love the meaning of this song. The meaning is that the thing that makes your life worth something is giving of yourself.
6. All I Want - A Day to Remember
This song makes me think - it strikes something in me that I can't describe in words. I love the power in this song.
7. Spotlight (New Regrets) - Patrick Stump
I was really impressed by this song from the Patrick Stump. After Fall Out Boy broke up and he started his personal project, I really wondered what his music would be like. And now that it's around, I'm really quite impressed.
8. My Beautiful Rescue - This Providence
This song is totally astounding. I love that this song isn't about some girl - it's about God. It's probably the happiest, most beautiful, most astounding song I've ever listened to.
9. Past Praying For - VersaEmerge
VersaEmerge has a completely different sound from most of the bands I listen to, but that's one of the reasons they're one of my favorite bands. I really like the lyrics of this song. Sierra Kusterbeck (the vocalist), is definitely gifted.
10. Liar Liar - NeverShoutNever!
The music of this song is really great - I love the sound. Although Christofer Drew isn't the best vocalist in the universe, is voice is actually decent with this track. The lyrics are also relatable for me because I know a lot of people like the ones he's singing about.
11.Is Anybody Out There - The Downtown Fiction
I love all the little details in this song, about how what the two people are thinking. I love the storytelling style of this track.
12. Bad Dream - This Century
This is actually an acoustic-sounding track, and it's really sweet. I adore the raw perfection of this song - it's not over produced, and it has a different kind of feel from most of the songs This Century has.
13.Keep On Bringing Me Down - Forever the Sickest Kids
Most of the songs FTSK has published in the last couple of years has, in a word, sucked. But, this song actually brought back their old sound that made me listen to them in the first place, and the song as a whole is good.
14.If the Moon Fell Down Tonight - Dear Juliet
I love this song. It's phenomenal. The lyrics always make me smile, no matter what's going on in my life. Every song Dear Juliet has is amazing. No joke.
15. Bulletproof Heart - My Chemical Romance
MCR has become one of the most listened to bands on my iPod. I just love this song, I don't know why.
If you don't know some of the songs on here, look them up! Some will be extremely hard to get a hold of, while others can be easily found. But still, this is my playlist for now. I hope you look them up, because most of them don't get the attention they deserve. - Teale
