Songs to match my life

November 25, 2009 at 9:59 am (Music)

You know those songs out there that can define a moment in your life? Or they can just impact you so much that you feel that initial feeling that you had the first time you heard it every single time thereafter?

Here is the place that I will stencil those songs. I do not want their presence to ever leave my side.

• Sweet Disposition – The Temper Trap [I first heard this song while watching the movie "500 Days of Summer." The lyrics are great but more than that is the way the music moves throughout the song. The lead singer has an amazing voice as well.]
• Change In My Life – Hanson [This is off of the Take the Walk EP. It is a gospel cover and is done so acappella. Everything about it is absolutely stunning and there's nothing I love more than to listen to it playing really loudly while I sing to it - trying to sing a different part of the harmony each time. They way those boys' voices mesh together sends shivers down my spine everytime.]
• So You Can Cry – Ne-Yo [I don't think anyone truly knows about my love & appreciation for Ne-Yo. This is one of my favourite songs off of his album "Year of the Gentleman." It has a bluesy feel to it and in a way it almost reminds me of a Stevie Wonder song?? I can't really explain why, but I just get that vibe from the song.]
• Alone In The World – Everybody Else [Saw them sing this live when they opened for Hanson on the 'The Walk' tour. Love this song the most on their acoustic album. The lyrics are simple and yet very fitting. The melody is beautiful as well.]
• Hands Down – Dashboard Confessional [This song stirs up many emotions.. happy, sad & everything in between. I've loved it since the first time I heard it. It's definitely one of my 'go to songs']

*that is all for now, but I will surely be updating this post as I think of more songs to add that match my life at any given moment.
