Music List#1

My favorite songs (in no particular order)

1. Such Great Heights- The Postal Service
Now this song is not like the original folky tune from Iron and Wine but redone in a style only the Postal Service could pull off. Its use of synth and melodic harmonies make it the perfect song to relax to and I relate to the lyrics so well.

2. Teenage Dream- Katy Perry
This lighthearted catchy pop song made my favorites because of the simplicity of the lyrics and the tune is addicting to listen to as Katy Perry has an amazing voice and the song makes you feel carefree, happy and in love.

3. Up Up & Away- Kid Cudi
I am such a fan of Cudi and this song is the epitome of the music he creates. The beat is very catchy and the lyrics speak to me as an independent person. The song inspires me to do my own thing and not care what others think.

4.To Kingdom Come- Passion Pit
The almost eerie tunes, electric tunes of passion pit is a different sound and Passion Pits high pitch melodic singing along with the jazzy beat mixed with electric influences is heaven to the ears in this song.

5.Laredo- Band of Horses
Fresh off the new Band of Horses album this songs guitar and beat made it an instant favorite. The lyrics are about traveling and not really knowing where you are going which is interesting to me.

6.Transatlatiscism- Death Cab for Cutie
My favorite song from my favorite band. This songs slow guitar and piano make the sense of longing and distance come to life..in your ears at least. I have loved this song for a while, but now can truly relate to it due to the fact me and my boyfriend are in a long distance relationship since the song is about needing to be with someone who is far away.

7.Alejando- Lady Gaga
The mystery of the man that is Alejandro will forever be lived on because of this song. The violin start to this song is perfect and Lady Gaga's unique pop sound is a favorite with me. This song is hot like Mexico.

8.Call on Me- Eric Prydz
This song will get anyone dancing. I heard it once a long time ago and just started to appreciate the greatness of this techno song. You cannot help but dance...or at least bop your head to the irresistibly catchy beat.

9.Little Motel- Modest Mouse
The twangy guitar and honey glazed voice in this song make it a great song to fall asleep to. Reminds me of long car rides home at night because I would always play this song to fall asleep to in the car. The guitar melody in the middle of the song is my favorite part, it sounds as if it falls apart toward the end much like the lyrics get towards the end. Its like listening to a peaceful chaos.

10.Ocean Avenue- Yellowcard
This song makes me thing of last summer and reminds me of back home in San Diego. Me and my boyfriend would hang out at this certain street on Del Mar Beach. We spent our last night there before we left for college, this song brings that back.

I love music and listen to so many artists and styles that this list doesn't even touch how many songs I consider "my favorite" however, for the sake of this list I put down some good ones. Enjoy:)
