Always Like This | Bombay Bicycle Club
I listened to this song on repeat for a solid three weeks when I walked to class. It made me want to play the bass, but then I remembered that I have freakishly tiny fingers, so I settled on wanting to learn the ukelele instead. This song also tricked me into thinking I can play the drums because I would air-drum on the way to class. While I've now come to terms with the fact that I drop drumsticks too often to become a professional drummer, I'm fairly confident I would fit in really well with Bombay Bicycle Club as soon as I get a black, wide-brim, floppy hat and high-waisted paisley shorts.
Round Here | Counting Crows
I began speaking full sentences at the age of ten months. It was probably a terrifying experience for anyone that did not expect the phrase "Mom, don't forget to use your coupons" come from the mouth of a small child in a shopping cart who barely had any hair. I was weird. Anyway, when "August and Everything After" came out in 1993, I could talk and comprehend things and basically spent a lot of time singing Counting Crows (and also memorizing every line, word-for-word, of "The Lion King." Seriously, I was a freak). I can't remember a time that I didn't know every lyrics to every song on that album because my family listened to it so much and it makes me feel like home.
Kiss You | One Direction
Have you seen the music video? Because we watch it, like, eight times a night in the design pod at the DN.
Also, the lyric video uses St. Marie font. So, that's a thing.
Blood Bank | Bon Iver
This song makes me sad in a happy way. It's a very confusing feeling. It also might be the only Bon Iver song where I can actually understand what he's singing. So, that's kinda neat.
Airplanes | Local Natives
Local Natives was, hands down, the best concert I have ever been to in my entire life. My best friend, Allie, hates Local Natives and I will spend the rest of my existence trying to get her to appreciate their music, or at least that guy's mustache because, seriously, he probably spent a lot of time growing it and it is stellar.
