Five Times Front Porch Step Gave Us The Feels

I think they relate to all people and certain circumstances where simple words just won't do, so you have to sing.

So, I began listening to this one-man band called Front Porch Step my first semester of college (thanks to my wonderful roommate Madison), and I still cannot get enough of their wonderful music. Here are my top five favorite songs this man sings (though he does not know how to create a bad song) and how I think they relate to all people and certain circumstances where simple words just won't do, so you have to sing.

When they brought us the ultimate break-up song with "Drown."

"You are the itch that's on my back. You are the gum under my shoe. You are the horrors of my past. You are the chill that haunts the room. You are the creaking on my steps. You are cancer. You are plague. You are regret. You are disease. I wish that you would go away."


Who's heart didn't flutter when they heard "If I Tremble?"

"You are the beauty I want. You are the angel I need. I find the proof of God in every single word that you speak. You smell like girly shampoo. I love when I smell like you, reminds me why I wake up. And if I tremble at the sight of you, it's not because I'm cold, it's because I'm staring at the girl I want to love me when I'm old."


I die every time I hear "Private Fears in Public Places." In other words, the tale of this man's undying love. #goals

"I know that you think I'm kind of odd. But if your love was a mountain, I swear that I'd climb to the top. I'd tell you you're lovely and everything I'll ever need, and I'd give you my all if you'd just come and stand next to me."


When "Aware" described the feelings of every single one of us that have ever been trapped in the 'friend zone.'

"It's like giving up on everything that you believe. To put your trust in a girl that stole your heart right off your sleeve. And I'm so sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more. But you just won't love me."


When he spoke to exactly what all of us feel regarding the loss of one we held dear in "I Won't Say That I'm Okay."

"Grandma, uh, I love God with all my heart and the only reason that is instated in my life is because of you. And I really don't understand the God that you introduced me to would take you away so fast when you were the only person who understood a thing I ever said. And I really don't know how to deal with this anymore. And, I'm just really not OK with this and I miss you and I understand you're in heaven but I wanna be selfish. I don't want you to be in heaven; I want you to be back down here. I don't want you to be there. I want you to be here. What am I supposed to do now? That's all I'm asking."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
