This is my current playlist. Songs that mean something to me or have a good line that I over-analyze and think apply to my life... or are just really jam-out worthy. Now I must warn you that my taste in music is all over the place, so no judgement. Please and thank you :)
Feel that Fire by Dierks Bentley- This song is about a strong and stubborn woman that's insecure and fickle, wild and free, all at the same time. And he loves her for it. My definition of a hott mess.
You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette- I know it's kind of tame, but this is my angry song. When I'm mad, I bring out Alanis and we scream together, and then I feel better.
The Stranger by Billy Joel- I couldn't tell you one line from this song, but I recognize the tune anywhere. My father is an exceptional whistler, and this was his favorite song to whistle. For years my brother and I thought he just made it up, until one day 20 years later we hear it on the radio. We finally learned that he's been whistling Billy Joel the whole time. Mind blown.
Miss Independent by Ne-yo- *strong independent woman alert* proof that men are attracted to a woman who can "do for herself" yo!
Lucky by Britney Spears- Yes, one of my favorite ballads. Don't hate! I will forever be a Britney fan.
When You Come Down My Way by Eli Young Band- This song is back from their first CD, before they were on the radio all the time. It is wonderful, chill and will always be a favorite.
Stereo Love (the remix)- Since I like to pretend I have some Latina in me, this is my shout-out song to mis amigas. It barely has any Spanish in it, but it definitely makes me feel like Carlita.
Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong by Martina McBride- This is my ultimate feel-good song after a boy has been stupid. Whether you like country on not, this'll do the trick. I should send Martina a box of wine for all the times she's made me stop crying and look forward.
Breathe (2AM) by Anna Nalick- To me this is a song that my best friend is singing to me, trying to help me through a broken heart. There is nothing more comforting then falling to your best friend’s shoulder when you need them to help pick you up.
We Belong Together by Mariah Carey- I. LOVE. ALL. THINGS. MARIAH. This was even my ringtone for my boo for quite a long time, back when I had to ask permission to download ringtones and pay my mom the $1.99. Worth it.
Still Fly (Gator Boots) by Big Tymers- Don't laugh, but this is the first rap song that I memorized every word to. I remember calling in to 97.9 in middle school to request this song all the time. And I've unfortunately karaoke'd it a time or two thinking I was super cool.
Stiletto Pumps by Crime Mob- Sums up my college years. Most of my Facebook album names were lines from this song.
I Cross My Heart by George Strait- This is the ultimate love song. Anything by George Strait really. Long may he reign.
Wish You Were Here by Incubus- Obviously one of the best Incubus songs. To anybody I have ever wanted by me when they weren't.
Paper Planes by MIA- This is one of my favorite songs to dance to. We all know I have major white girl syndrome, but I just love it. The guns are definitely the best part.
Today Was a Fairytale by Taylor Swift- It was hard to pick just ONE Taylor Swift song, because obviously every single one of her songs are on my playlist. But this one makes me smile every single time I hear it. I'm afraid I will forever be a 13-year-old girl at heart.
I could probably post about 10 more, but I've narrowed it down to those and I'm happy with it. I think we all know how much music influences us whether we acknowledge it or not, and I'm one that thanks the Lord for songs and artists that sing things that I could never put into words.
So today turn your music up, and make it a great day!
