17 Songs To Really Listen Too
DevianArt

Something I've always loved about music are the lyrics themselves. I love a good song I can just jam to and sing at the top of my lungs for fun. But there comes a time for some, when you just need a good song to express how you feel, to really connect too.

Sometimes songs are pretty important to me because of the lyrics, what they're saying. It can send a message to someone, or it can be something you just really needed to hear in the moment. It can express your feelings. It can take you back to a time that was simpler, or even have a certain memory attached to it.

Below, I've complied a list of songs that I just love. Not because they may be catchy (although some of them are), but because of the lyrics. Maybe it was something I needed to hear at the time, or maybe it said something I've been trying to say but couldn't find the right words too. Just listen.


1. I Won't Let You Go (Radio Version) - Switchfoot


2. Old Church Choir - Zach Williams


3. Hills and Valleys - Tauren Wells


4. Healing Begins - Tenth Avenue North


5. Brave (feat. Andy Mineo) - Moriah Peters


6. Breathe - Jonny Diaz


7. Magnify - We Are Messengers


8. Give Me Faith - Elevation Worship


9. It Is Well (Radio Mix) Bethel Music & Kristene Dimarco *disclaimer: the original by Kristene, is always better*

*another disclaimer: You Make Me Brave is also a really good song*


10. By Your Side - Tenth Avenue North


11. Broken Hallelujah - The Afters


12. Worn - Tenth Avenue North


13. Overcomer - Mandisa


14. Giants Fall - Francesca Battistelli


15. Mended - Matthew West

*disclaimer: this album altogether is just really good*


16. Wish - Lecrae


17. Oh Lord - NF

*disclaimer: there are actually several songs I could list here. Both of his albums are gold.


This list could've honestly gone on forever. I listen, and I mean really listen, to a lot of music. I have a ton of favorites, and these are just the select few. I encourage you to do the same to your own music. If you get the chance, share it like I did.

Give these a listen too, if you want as well.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
