Here are the seven songs that I have been jamming out to since I've been back at school for a week.
1. Shape of You - Ed Sheeran
It is very new (just released on January 6) and it makes me want to dance. It has what might be a marimba that gives it a jazzy beat and the vocals are upbeat and catchy. It's a fun song and would make a great dance party song.
2. Castle on the Hill - Ed Sheeran
Also recently released, it is a nice chill out song that's about returning to your home after being gone for a long time. He's reminiscing about all the things that he did when he was younger and all the things he misses about the place where he grew up. I like it because it reminds me to remember where I come from no matter where I go.
3. Say You Won't Let Go- James Arthur
This song shows a developing relationship throughout the years from when they were young and when they are married and have kids and until they are "grey and old". It's a very sweet song and is quite beautiful.
4. Love Me Now-John Legend
This song to me is about taking chances because you don't know what is coming so you should make the most of what you have every day.
5. Dancing On My Own-Calum Scott
If you want all the feels check out this song. Its about giving it your best shot and still not being what someone else needs. Its about feeling rejected and alone because of feelings that are not reciprocated.
6. Mercy-Shawn Mendes
To me, this song is about being in love with someone even after it needs to end and asking them to "have mercy" on you and let you go. It's another feels song, so beware.
7. Scars To Your Beautiful- Alessia Clara
This is about the media effect on body image and is a great self love anthem. It's about how the way we talk about people's bodies and our own perceptions of our bodies need to change. That we don't need to change our bodies we need to change our minds.
