I've been listening to singer/songwriter, Lissie, since my junior year of high school. I saw one of her music videos on VH1 before I went to school, and I was instantly hooked on her music. She has an indie, folk, acoustic, and rock vibes going on throughout her songs. Her music has helped me get through bad times, sad times, and always the happy times. Many of my friends haven't heard of her, so I feel it's necessary to make a list of my top 15 favorite songs by Lissie.
15. "Hero"

This song is definitely something you want to listen to in your car. I would categorize this as road trip music.
14. "Mother"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUmw2iYgFbs
Originally sung by Danzig. The guitar in the beginning of this cover is haunting in the best way possible. This is, dare I say, better than the original?
13. "Oh Mississippi"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=623ln15-5fo
Switching from guitar to piano, this song literally gives me chills every time I hear it.
12. "Sleepwalking"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R5h_6fdv1c
This song has a pretty good beat, although the lyrics are a bit sad. But it's the kind of sad most people can relate to. Most of her music is like this in my opinion.
11. "Little Lovin"
This is a song that you you instantly sing the chorus when you hear it the first time. The occasional little bell in the music helps the song perk up too. It almost has a southern music feel.
10. "Wedding Bells"
Lyrics are a bit sad, but the tune balances it out. Definitely on my Lissie playlist!
9. "Go Your Own Way"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OltcXMV-9Vk
This Fleetwood Mac cover is absolutely amazing! I love how she slowed down the song. Still just as good to listen to as the original.
8. "Can't Take It Back"
This is a song I sing as loud as I can in the car. This is song to listen to if you're thinking about exes and old friends.
7. "When I'm Alone"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G0_eN36QVc
This is the song that got me loving Lissie to begin with! This is the music video I saw back in high school as I was getting ready for school. This song gave me a music style I enjoy.
6. "Hold On, We're Going Home"
Yes, this is a Drake cover! And yes, it's good! Trust me on this!
5. "Further Away (Romance Police)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0FAPa7lNss
An upbeat song about a guy treating a girl wrong, and the girl is being given advice. It's great! The guitar solo though!
4. "Pursuit of Happiness"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQMJCOT2wlQ
Again, another amazing cover! Originally by Kid Cudi, this cover is amazing. It's spot on!
3. "Shameless"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5vzZcbH39E
This song is almost indie-rock? Definitely an anthem for people who are, well shameless.
2. "Everywhere I Go"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGDe9JsQWE
This song is a song you listen to if you want chills! Her voice is breathtaking.
1. "Don't You Give Up On Me"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQevK_bUV9g
This is my number one song. To me, the lyrics create beautiful imagery. Very motivational for anyone that feels they're being given up on.
