Music makes the world go round, or it makes you lose control (I hope you catch the Missy Elliot reference). As you go through your day, take a listen to a few songs that just might make you think, skip a beat, do a little dance, pump you up, etc. Here's a look inside my music and what it's like to bee-bop around campus like me.
If you need something slower, something that slows the mind, the heart, etc.- here's a recent find I listened to on 8tracks. I'm a sucker for any types of instrumentals, especially piano.
1) To Build a Home- The Cinematic Orchestra
So this next one is what I tell everyone would be the soundtrack to my life if I had one. I can't really explain why, other than it's different, it's exciting, it's got rhythm, and it's me. Plus it's in one of my favorite cheesy movies, Warm Bodies.
2) Midnight City- M83
If you wanna know what my ringtone is, it's this cute and adorable acoustic by one of my all time favorite bands, State Champs. This song is your typical cheesy, cute, love song acoustic that makes you mush on the inside. Plus, the lead singer is cute as all heck.
3) If I'm Lucky- State Champs
If you're totally amped up or need to be, there's nothing better than some classic pop punk to put you in the to mood to mosh, break something, go for a run, or just get hype! This next one's a shot out to the band that's gotten me through basically everything- The Story So Far. Shoutout to all the girls that have broken Parker Cannon's heart so that he could create bomb music for the world.
4) High Regard- The Story So Far
Feeling funky? Wanna get your groove on? Do you just like remixes or something to jam to? Then this next one's for you.
5) Sweetest Girl- Wyclef Jean (Brigade Remix)
This one's for my alternative lovers. A couple of my friends and I met K. Flay at warped 3 years ago. She's got some dope beats and she makes all of them herself. Mad props to those self-sufficient, independent women.
6) So Fast, So Maybe- K. Flay
This next one has a lot going for it- the band is from Pittsburgh (also met them at Warped), the song has a deep message, the melody is gorgeous. It's perfect. However, it's a cover of a Bring Me The Horizon Song. This one's for those nights you're up late at night pondering everything and anything.
7) Sleepwalking- This Wild Life
Okay so this one's pretty heavy. BUT if you at least listen from 2:40 till 3 min and 40 seconds in, the message and music are impeccable. This one is from one of my all time favorite bands. Their music may sound "scary" to some, but I challenge you to listen. There's always a message. Always a story. It's not "garbage screamo" or "pointlessly aggressive." This music really speaks to a lot of people who have been through a lot.
8) Sometimes You're the Hammer, Sometimes You're the Nail- A Day to Remember (also, what a bomb title)
Well folks, that's all for now. If you ever care for more music suggestions, my playlist is endless. Listen happily, my friends.
