I have tried to do the impossible. Music is a huge part of my life…I am absolutely obsessed with it and I thought that it might be fun and slightly difficult to try and take my entire music library and compile a list of my 10 favorite songs. I feel pretty accomplished and believe that I have come up with a very fair list. With each song, I have accompanied a portion of the lyrics that have made some sort of impact on myself. I obviously highly recommend any and all of these songs. Enjoy!
10. The Boy With The Arab Strap – Belle & Sebastian
“Color my life with the chaos of trouble.”
9. Weightless – Nada Surf
“Outside just killing time and making noise
And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and
Weightless affairs that weigh less than air weighs
makes no stairways just stairs that go nowhere
Don't dream, that it's a dream it is what it seems
That it's a dream it is what it seems”
8. In The Air –Ten Fe
“I'm not through with love
But I'm through with pain
Movin’ on a feeling in the air”
7. Feel The Effect – Tokyo Police Club
“I turn around and now its faded to black
We left a few things unspoken
Can we leave it at that
And I know you’ve got the world on your side
What did I expect
I made a lot of bad decisions I feel the effect”
6.Hello My Old Heart – The Oh Hellos
“Nothing lasts forever
Some things aren't meant to be
But you'll never find the answer
Until you set your old heart free”
5.Guillotine – Jon Bellion
“The secrets you tell me I'll take to my grave
There's bones in my closet, but you hang stuff anyway”
4. Say Hello 2 Heaven – Temple Of The Dog
“I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things we´ll never do
So I blow out the candle and
I put you to bed
Since you can´t say to me
Now how the dogs broke your bone
There´s just one thing left to be said
Say hello to heaven”
3. Anxiety – Angels & Airwaves
“Don't pressure us, anxiety
I'm a passenger
So serious, anxiety
Just a passenger”
2. Souls A’fire – Matt Corby
“So come on and hold on to that firm belief
That your soul is a’fire
And forget your, your petty crimes now
Hold firm as the raging sea beats at your door
Stay there ‘till you can’t, you can’t take no more now”
1. Not Now – blink-182
“Come here, please hold my hand for now
Help me, I'm scared please show me how to fight this,
God has a master plan
And I guess
I am in his demand
Please save me this time I cannot run
And I'll see you when this is done
And now I have come to realize
That you are the one who's left behind”
