My January 2017 Playlist

Jan 02, 2017

With the new year here and ready, it presents an opportunity to start anew. And what better way to start out is with a solid music playlist? With a playlist, you can accomplish anything. So take a second and make a playlist to go along with your resolutions. 2016 was an incredible year for music, and I am sure 2017 will bring an even more impressive year for artists and audiences alike. As we go through the year, it is good to have a playlist to match what is going on in your life, so sit back and relax, and stay tuned each month for a new playlist!

1. Sunday Candy by Donnie Trumpet & the Social Experiment

The New Year began on a Sunday, so what better song to celebrate with? With it's poppy-gospel, upbeat style and the real, anecdotal lyrics, it makes you want to dance and sing and jump into 2017 with high hopes.

2. Best for Last by Adele

Lyrics to live by:

"You should know that you're just a temporary fix/
This is not rooted with you it don't mean that much to me/ Oh just a filler in the space that happened to be free/ How dare you think you'd get away with trying to play me"

3. Show Me Love by Hundred Waters

This song is just a reminder to show love and to be a better person this year. Remember, it is important to not only love others, but to love yourself as well. The beginning of the new year is perfect for working on personal growth.

4. Blessings by Chance the Rapper

We should all be blessed to have made it to another year; some were not as lucky. Don't forget to count your blessings and pay it forward.

5. Timing is Everything by Garrett Hedlund

As we get older, it is important to acknowledge timing. Don't freak out about deadlines and what you may think you have to do. Take it one step at a time, and your year should be successful and happy.

6. We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel

After everything that has happened in 2016, now is the time to defeat the issues that were so prevalent in 2016 that will carry over into 2017. Contrary to belief, we cannot blame a whole year on the things that happened. The world has been through hard times and has lived to tell the cautionary tale. This is the year to fight!

7. The Way I Live by Baby Boy Da Prince

Remember not to forget to have some fun! We're going to have a long year ahead of us, and we will all need time to let loose and live our lives. Just concentrate on you this month and work on maintaining goals and work towards a happier, healthier you! Don't let anyone break your stride, and you should be in for a good year.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
