:D is really all I have to say about life right now. I don't want to go into tooooo much detail, because this is a public forum/I may be getting ahead of myself, but OH MY GOODNESS life is absolutely phenom.
Anyway, day 11, top 3 fave bands.
I absolutely don't think I can do this. But let's see.
1. Lady Gaga. (She's not a band, I realize, but bear with me.)
Lady Gaga exudes confidence. I've watched videos of her crying on stage out of how grateful she is for how far she's come. She has a song for every mood I'm in. Speechless is probably still my very favorite, which is the perfect sad/drunk with my very best friends song. I have it on now, actually, and it makes me want to throw my arms around Katie and Sam and sway to the music while raising a glass to mend the broken hearts of all my wrecked up friends. The Fame is the perfect summer album, and it takes me back to last summer when everything was amazing. I cannot WAIT until she drops Born This Way as a single, which if I recall is very soon. As in THIS WEEKEND. AS IN A WEEK FROM RIGHT NOW. And the countdown begins...
I really don't know if I can finish this. First of all, I lost my iPod, so I can't even scroll through and tell you what bands I have. So I'm challenging this challenge and deciding that its going to now be my top fave songs of the moment. And it may or may not be more than two more, because I'm bored.
2. "Seaside", by The Kooks.
This song randomly pops up on my iTunes sometimes, and I'm taken back to a time when I really did fall in love on the seaside. That relationship is over now, of course, but I'm so attached to the ocean that I'm not sure if there's ever a time when I won't fall in love on the seaside. Its just one of those songs that makes me feel good and confident about my future, even if my love life is a wreck (in which case I'd probably switch it, but who's counting?). Its acoustic, the singer's voice is soothing, and I recommend it to everyone.
3. "Bottoms Up", by Trey Songz ft. Nicki Minaj.
The unofficial winter break song. This song is about alcohol and partying, and I made sure it was playing at all of the parties over break. My sister and I listen to it while on our drives in the Mustang, and it was one of the first songs she was amazed that I knew, and that I knew what throwing deuces means. Also, I'm really proud I can throw down the Minaj verse, thank you very much. Yes, my dear, you're so explosive.
4. Pretty much any and all acoustic love songs.
I'm not in love and, up until I got my priorities in order, had little interest in falling in love. Though even through the bad times, I've always had a great appreciation for love songs. I'll even go as far as to say that they are the greatest forms of art, ever. And I don't mean mainstream "I'm Yours" Jason Mraz bullshit that was likely written by a group of ten writers, I mean the indie stuff that you KNOW was written by the person singing. I love the happy love and the sad love and the longing love and the in between love. So much love.
5. "Walcott", by Vampire Weekend.
Guilty: I mostly love this song because one of the lyrics is "Don't you wanna get outta Cape Cod, outta Cape Cod tonight?" and I know that feeling so well.
6. "Up All Night", by Drake ft. Nicki Minaj.
This song is pretty much my life in a nutshell. Aside from the fact that I'm white and a starving college student... "I'm about whatever, man/f what they been talkin' about/they opinion doesn't count/we're the only thing that matters, oh/so we do it how we do it" and "I'll be up all night/whole crew's in here/cause I don't really know who I'ma lose this year, oh/man I love my team/I love my team/I would die for them n's" and of course, Nicki "I look like yes/you look like no". ;)
So that was longer than I intended, but whatever. It's only 11 and I'm not tired yet, waaaah.
