A run-down of songs currently on my favourite playlist:
1. Best Day of My Life by the American Authors
Because I was planning to make a video with my wingies, to this soundtrack. It seems highly unlikely that it’ll ever get completed now, but I’m not giving up just yet. Also, it’s an enjoyable song when I’m in the mood for something peppy and happy-sounding.
2. Problem by Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea
Ariana Grande’s voice is incredible, though I don’t usually like these kinds of numbers. And the lyrics, of course ;)
Head in the clouds, got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser and realise that I’ve got
One less problem without you
3. Irreplaceable by Beyonce
I used to listen to this back in school, and downloaded it for old times’ sake, along with Miley Cyrus’ The Climb. Nice, empowering songs for those times when you feel like there’s nothing going for you.
4. F you by Cee Lo Green
Because. It’s fun to go, “F you!” when there’s no one else around. Especially if you have someone to target your frustration on.(No word on whether the frustration is deserved or not. Let’s just say it’s more satisfying to blame one person than to blame life for giving you lemons :P)
5. Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran
Self-explanatory. This song is beautiful, and I have it on repeat every night just before I fall asleep. TBH, I’ve done that with a fair share of Ed Sheeran songs, because he rocks.
6. Take Me to Church by Hozier
Somehow the first line sends shivers down my spine.
My lover’s got humor
She’s the giggle at a funeral
Actually, this whole song, and Hozier's voice... And once I begin singing the chorus, it’s hard for me to stop.
7. All I Want by Kodaline
Ah. Yet another from the Vampire Diaries. I love this show for giving me hours of entertainment, characters I can really get my teeth into, but mostly for all the new-old music it’s introduced me to. You can just listen and go, yeah, that’s from the Vampire Diaries. Slow, lovey-dovey, emotional songs to pair with slow, lovey-dovey emotional scenes.
8. See You Again by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth
Thanks to my obsessed wingie. :* And the sentimental video we made for someone who won’t be around as often anymore.
9. So What by P!nk
Equal parts girl/rock-star power and revenge. Yeeaah.
So what
I’m still a rock star
I got my rock moves...
...and you’re a tool so, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don’t want you tonight
10. The Wrong Direction by Passenger
Because sometimes you just need to drown in your self-pity and equalize. Yeah, so I’ve never --insert romantic movie name here-- but I can handle that. I just need to wallow in my loneliness sometimes.
11. Superheroes by The Script
So The Script are officially my workout band. I listen to them when I jog, either outside on my iPod or on the treadmill, and they give me inner strength and motivation. I don’t know why, but I’ve put a lot of positivity into their songs, and I get it all back every time I hear another one. This song is just crying out to be a motivational enhancer.
You've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
12. Your Love is a Song by Switchfoot
Because my roomie was obsessed with it for a while, and these things transfer from one person to the other like viruses. Good viruses, but viruses nonetheless.
In other news, I feel really, really good. Yeah. Studying for my English exams, planning to have a whole lot of fun this summer, did well in my additional learning courses in college, don't cry over ridiculous things(although I did cry last night, but that was over a fictional character's fictional parents dying, so totally non-ridiculous ;) ). Yeah.
