Playlist // September

this past weekend was busy and full of fun and laughter. my best friend i took a short little adventure before i left for a while, and it was amazing. 

this week is full to the brim of catching up on homework, training, and preparing to leave my safe and comfortable place for a while. if i think too much the stress makes me cringe. 

i can feel it creep up my back and encompass my being, making me want to avoid everything and lay in bed. i think im excited for the trip, but the preparation is overshadowing the excitement. soon we'll be driving down the long road to texas and ill only be thinking of the adventure that awaits. i plan on regularly updating here about the trip, i want to catalog this last adventure of my childhood. (i say that because it's the last big trip i'll be on with my parents and sister, for next fall i'll be living away and on my own). i also have pictures from this weekend that i will put up sometime soon.

until my schedule gets a little less busy, here is september's playlist that i kind of put together on the spot.

i had three sticky notes on my desk at work on which i wrote down the names of songs that came on pandora that i enjoyed. a few days ago i got tired of seeing them on my desk so i formed them into a spotify playlist and i havent wanted to stop listening to it. ( i have only so i dont start to hate it too soon).

i have drank my cup of coffee, so here it is.

 

FINGER ELEVEN | // PARALYZER

 this one is here because it sounds like it cant decide if its chill rock music, or more intense. i wait for it to get crazy it never quite hits that certain level of intensity (like five finger death punch intense). and the lyrics are interesting too. lisen.

WALK THE MOON | // JENNY

this song, oh this song this song this song!!!!  so feel, much good. it isnt particularly feel-y but the sound of this song sends butterflies to my stomach. it makes me want to dance on the drive home. i absolutely adore the sound of his voice, something about it just makes me smile. 

DEORRO | // FIVE HOURS

this one is all about focus. it's so mesmerizing. when i hear it i wish i could here it more. i wanna feel the vibration of the base drop. it pulls me in and the only thing i want to do is listen. there is something about electronic music that lights my fire.

TOVE LO | // HABITS (STAY HIGH) {HIPPIE SABOTAGE REMIX}

i found this song last year and it was okay. then i found this remix last year, and everything was amazing. typically remixes arent my favorite, this remix however, is infinitely better than the original. just as the previous song, it's mesmerizing. but it also hits right in the deep feels.

TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB | // WHAT YOU KNOW

this one hasnt had a deep and significant impact on my life. i just really really dig. listen to it 

HINDER | // BETTER THAN ME

    so many reasons why this song is on the september playlist. 1) his voice is strikingly similar to john l cooper of skillet (whose voice i have been in love with since the ripe age of 14) 2) the feels 3) the feels. the lyrics in this song break my heart. how down on himself he is without her, telling her that she deserves a better man. i wanna give him a hug and tell him that he isnt such a bad guy after all. 

AEROSMITH | // DREAM ON

classical beautiful. thats it. 

ARCTIC MONKEYS | // DO I WANNA KNOW 

nothing in particular, just a really fantastic song

JET | // ARE YOU GONNNA BE MY GIRL

yes. yes i will indeed be your girl. this song makes me wish i had dancing shoes and someone to dance with. i la la love this jam so much. i wish i could see it performed live, and then he calls me up stage and we pull off an amazing dance together and then we get married. (i dont even know his name or what he looks like but i will be his girl.)

X AMBASSADORS | // UNSTEADY // SHINING

unsteady. this song is full of feels. i wish i had a better word for it. it reaches to the depths of one's heart and touches the deepest emotion you possess. it represents that cry inside of all of us that, although we may not have experience the lyrics exactly, we ourselves have felt in some uncertain time in our life. bravo. 

shining. it has a completely different sound and message. it brings hope. and now that i think about it, it correlates perfectly with the previous song. in times of unsteadiness, she's his shining star. his ray of hope. 

these are just a few of many! im putting together the october playlist and it should be up this week. im sorry this one took so long! i meant to get this up weeks ago but i forgot about it and got busy with traveling and advenutring! here it is though. enjoy!
