1. Wherever You Are by 5 Seconds of Summer
This song hits me right in the feelings every time. Don't get me wrong, 'She Looks So Perfect' and 'She's Kinda Hot' are both amazing songs worthy of breaking into dance. This song, however, has all the emotion. It's one of those songs that puts you right in the moment until the song ends, when you realize you aren't pining over anyone miles away that you desperately want to call.
2. The Calendar by Panic! at the Disco
Not only is Panic! one of my favorite bands—because how can you not love Brendon Urie's voice?—this song feels incredibly relatable to me right now as my summer is on its metaphorical deathbed. Honestly, no song by this band could ever really be overrated, but this song could be shown a little more love. Even the oddly placed elevator music at the end of it has its merit.
3. If You Ever Want to Be in Love by James Bay
I love this song so much that every time I hear it I want to yell "Why don't people appreciate this song?!" James Bay has such a beautiful voice, and this breezy song feels so genuine that it's hard not to love it. 'Let It Go' is a great song, but this one is my all time favorites from Mr. Bay.
4. Mrs. Potato Head by Melanie Martinez
I feel how deep this song is whenever I hear it as if I were the one getting plastic surgery on myself. There are so many golden lines in this song, and unfortunately "No one will love you if you're unattractive" is one many people believe today—as if your appearance is more important than who you are as a person. This song is definitely worth a listen because it reflects the tragedy that is all the self-hatred in today's society.
5. If I Could Fly by One Direction
I distinctly remember that the first time I heard this song, I stopped everything I was doing just to listen intently to it (and cry a little). To me, this is the most beautiful One Direction song, written by a pretty beautiful human being: Harry Styles. This song is so perfect I'm going to stop describing it to you now and let you listen to it yourself!
6. Moondust by Jaymes Young
This man is incredibly underrated, and his voice is so smooth and alluring. If you can, you should listen to all his songs. This one is my favorite, though, and once again makes me feel his pain for a lover that is not mine.
7. Things We Lost in the Fire by Bastille
This might come as a surprise, but Bastille does have songs other than 'Pompeii'! Their entire 'Bad Blood' album is phenomenal, but this is the one song I like most. It's incredibly catchy and easy to sing along to.
8. Sky's Still Blue by Andrew Belle
If you hear this song and don't get emotional I seriously suspect you don't have a heart. Andrew Belle is another incredible singer, and this song makes me feel like I'm floating in space. It's so uplifting.
9. Fourth of July by Fall Out Boy
This is one of those songs you sing at the top of your lungs uncontrollably, and it's sung by such an amazing band. And you better believe it gets stuck in my head when the Fourth rolls around every year.
10. The Weight by Shawn Mendes
Let's start this last one with the fact that Shawn Mendes is so young and yet so talented. This song has so much raw emotion, and I can really see him going places in his future! He deserves this spot on my list.
