In November, I wrote in an article about how the kind of music I listen to changes as the seasons change. Well, it is three months later and I think it's time for a new playlist. With February nearing its end, I find myself listening to music that is definitely more cheery and upbeat than back in November. Each day, spring semester is closer to warmer weather, so I like to think my music will get progressively happier.
1. "Someone New" by Hozier. You all probably know the popular song “Take Me to Church,” but that’s not all Hozier has to offer. I have been listening to all his songs, lately, and he is amazing.
2. "Hurricane" by Misterwives. Last time, I included their most well known song, “Reflections,” and this one is even better. Misterwives has become one of my favorite bands, lately; the lead singer is so good. Definitely give them a listen.
3. "And She Was" by Talking Heads. I always like to include an oldie in a playlist, and this one is perfect for an upbeat, feel good mix of songs.
4. "Miracles" by Coldplay. This is their song from the movie Unbroken (which pales in comparison to the book, just sayin’). It is kind of corny, but super catchy.
5. "Electric Love" by Borns. I had never heard of Borns before, but this song is so fun. He kind of sounds like MGMT, so if you are into them definitely give Borns a listen.
6. "Flashed Junk Mind" by Milky Chance. Milky Chance fascinates me. They are a German folk duo with reggae and electronic music influence. This one is a little more chill, but they have a really different sound, which I like.
7. "Planes" by Jeremiah ft. J. Cole. I also always like to include one hip-hop/rap song in playlists, because they are a people pleaser. I really like this song, though. The only song I previously knew by Jeremiah was “Birthday Sex” so I would say this one pleasantly surprised me.
8. "New Romantics" by Taylor Swift. Just because I have to include a T-Swift song in every playlist. And because 1989 is everything.
9. "Turnin" by Young Rising Sons. This one is very feel-good -- the kind of song you want to listen to while on a road trip.
10. "Cecilia and the Satellite" by Andrew McMahon. McMahon is the lead singer of Jack’s Mannequin and Something Corporate, so I had to include this to please my seventh grade self.
11. "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding. This song is from the movie 50 Shades of Grey. I was unsure if I liked Ellie Goulding before, but this is my favorite song of hers that I have heard.
12. "Elastic Heart" by Sia. First of all, Sia is so talented. Second of all, Shia LaBeouf is in the music video.
Sorry if you do not like my music taste, but I like to think this is a pretty good mix of songs, so enjoy!
