If you know me, you know I'm a Spotify addict. I have a playlist for every occasion and mood, or at least I plan to in my future. Sharing music is something I love doing. I love recommending new bands to my friends, and I love when I hear about new music. Although I tend to stick to the same music I've been listening to for years, every once in a while I branch out and listen to something new. Whether it's from middle school or I've found in the past few weeks, these are a few of the albums that I love:

Romantic Works by Keaton Henson

There's something about really melancholy music that I love and Keaton Henson is kind of a master of that. All of his songs are tear-provoking in one way or another. Romantic Works is an entirely instrumental album that makes me feel like I'm in a period drama where my husband just died and I'm laying on my fainting couch in all black.

High Violet by The National

I don't want to say that the National is melancholic but when I first heard "Bloodbuzz Ohio" in 2010 I hated it because it seemed so monotonous. In fact, I didn't like the National for years. But now that sad music has taken over my existence, they've really grown on me, High Violet in particular. It's a great album with so many songs that I adore.

Vampire Weekend by Vampire Weekend

I love Vampire Weekend. I could put all of their albums on here because I think they're all great but I decided I would put this one on. It has most of my favorite songs. Unlike everything on this list this far, this album makes me incredibly happy. 2008 was when joy was brought into our lives because Vampire Weekend gave us their self-titled album.

Pretty. Odd. by Panic at the Disco

Oh yes. I did say there was going to be stuff from middle school on here and here it is. I have such happy and strong feelings tied in towards this album, I couldn't possibly not love it. It makes me think of summertime and hanging out with friends and being awkward and young. Plus, to this day, I still love it so even without the memories attached, it's great.

Take This To Your Grave by Fall Out Boy

Listen, this was the life I led when I was young and I have no regrets. I have such an immense love for Fall Out Boy and there is not a part of me that's embarrassed about it. I have, on countless occasions, added this entire album to playlists meant for road trips so my friends would have to sit and deal with me while I sang all of the songs (okay maybe that's a little annoying and I should regret it but I don't). I love this album, and it also has great feelings attached to it.
