"As I am swimming through the stereo, I conduct a symphony of sound." - The Mixed Tape by Jack's Mannequin.
Those lyrics are some of the most true lyrics of my life. If you know me personally, you know that my entire life, my entire world, my entire being, is based on music.
My favorite thing to do is to sit in my room and listen to old songs, new songs, new releases, new bands and old bands. You can ask my mother, it is completely true. At a young age, I fell in love with music. I learned how to dance to Shania Twain. If I were riding in a car, there had to be some type of music playing.
No matter what I go through, I turn to music. It makes me feel even better when I am happy, it makes me feel unstoppable when I am down, it makes me feel irreplaceable when I am sad and it makes me learn how to express myself in different ways. Audioslave's "Be Yourself." got me through a time when I didn't fully understand how different I am from the world. I am unique and so are you. The best thing about being unique to me, is that I have a completely different taste in music than you do. So, when I listen to some of your music I am exposed to what you are feeling and what you love to hear. I love to share music and I love to hear new music.
So, in honor of music I am going to make a list of SOME (I couldn't make a full list to fit on this page or it would be so long, you would get bored. I promise.) of my favorite bands and singers and my favorite songs by them. This is not in order, by any means, because I can never actually pick out a "favorite band." (Even though Jimmy Eat World is WAY up there)
1) Jimmy Eat World
They recently released a new song and it is pretty amazing! My top three favorite songs by them are: Hear You Me, 23, and The Middle.
2) Fall Out Boy
They have been around for a while, and they keep amazing me with each new song. My top three favorite songs by them are: Dance Dance, I've Got A Dark Alley and A Bad Idea, and Sixteen Candles.
3) P!NK
She is freaking awesome and I love her. Need I say more? My top three favorite songs by her (but for sure not all of my favorites) are: Stupid Girls, U + UR Hand, and So What ( Because seriously "I've got my rock moves and I don't need you... and you're a tool")
4)Beyonce
I love this woman. (Plus I am called Mironce half of the time) She is "FLAWLESS" and she is "IRREPLACEABLE" My top three favorite songs by her are: Sorry, Flawless, and Diva.
5) Nicki Minaj
My mother dearest was not so thrilled when I brought my first Nicki CD home, but I was! I love her because she raps the truth and I can relate to the truth. (Also she makes me feel really good about myself, and we all need that.) My three favorite songs by her (even though I could name 40 of them as my favorite) are: Stupid Hoe, Anaconda, and Pills N' Potions ("People will love and support you when it's beneficial I'mma forgive, I won't forget, but I'mma dead the issue.")Go buy all of her albums today they are the bomb.
6) Kenny Chesney
I love this man and if he were to knock on my door I would be gone. Easy as that. I have had the biggest crush on him forever, but that's not the point. I love all if his music I can never pick out a "top three favorite songs" list but, here are my top three of the day: Don't Happen Twice, I Go Back, and Living In Fast Forward.
7) Thomas Rhett

My top three favorite songs are: Everyday Is A Winding Road, I Shall Believe, and The First Cut Is The Deepest ( "When it comes to being lucky, he's cursed. But when it comes to loving me, he's worse." Those are some timeless lyrics if I must say so myself!)
13) The Wreckers
They are really great, everyone needs to listen to a Wreckers song. My favorites are: The Good Kind and Leave the Pieces.

19) Justin Bieber
He has an amazing voice and all of the songs on his new album are amazing. My top three favorites are: Purpose, Boyfriend, and No Pressure.
20) Taylor Swift
Not as much of a fan as I used to be, but I will always love her. The classic T-Swizzle songs I grew up on will never get old. My top three favorites are: Better Than Revenge, White Horse, and Tim McGraw.
I have not even scratched the surface on my favorite songs, artists, or bands. I listen to tons of music in a day and I am very diverse in my music selection. I recently discovered a band called, Olin and The Moon, and I am obsessed with them. I also LOVE Tyler Hilton and his songs, "Loaded Gun," "Missing You," (pretty sure it's a cover)" and "Glad". I also REALLY enjoy "Bust A Move" by Young MC, "It's Tricky" by Run DMC ( This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital....) and "Touch My Body" by Mariah Carey, it's an EPIC shower song.
Like I said, I have not even touched the surface of my favorite bands, favorite artists, and favorite songs.These are simply just some of my favorites. It changes daily, but the one thing that will never change is my love for music.
P.S. I strongly encourage you to go check some of the songs out, especially by the new band I discovered. ( Olin and The Moon, the song "Not In Love" is my personal favorite! )
