Hey! I do this every once in a while just so y'all get a glimpse at what I'm listening to. This is also a response to the very difficult question of "What is your favorite song?" because at any given moment I have several different favorites and the list changes moment-to-moment. Songs also inspire my writing a lot of the time, so they are very important to me! Also, if you were looking for new stuff to listen to, here are my suggestions! :)
1. William and Davy, by Kate Rusby - This song has appeared at least one other time, but it is definitely one of my favorites! I love the folk-story structure to it, and I am a big fan of songs that are accomplished (or could be accomplished) with just a guitar and a voice. Plus the story is hilarious.
2. Cowboys and Angels, by Dustin Lynch - I am so in love with this song. Country is a recently developed love of mine, since I really didn't start listening to it until a couple of years ago, but I have fallen head over heels. The part of me that grew up on a farm with horses rejoices!
3. Fille du Roy, by Heather Dale - Another story-song with a folk feel to it. It is a beautiful love story, and it gets extra points for being a waltz! Despite the name, it is all in English except for the last couple lines, which are in French (this is so that there can be a play on words between the lady-love's name Marie and the French word for wife - marie).
4. Breath of Life, by Florence + The Machine - As soon as I heard this song at the end of Snow White and the Huntsman, my first thought was "BEST SOUND DESIGN CHOICE EVER!!!" Yes, I think like that because I am a Theatre major haha. It's a good song to get pumped to!
5. Prepare Ye, from the musical Godspell (my version is the 2001 revival) - This is another good get-pumped workout song, and is also my default ringtone! There are only seven words in the entire song, but it is super fun and also a good reminder to any Christian! Prepare Ye the way of the Lord!
6. I Don't Want This Night To End, by Luke Bryan - Yes, this one I'm sure has appeared before, and I'm sure it will again. For some reason, this song just makes me feel really good. Like if I'm feeling really upset or frustrated or stressed it helps calm me down. I think it has something to do with the car accident and three days I spent in the hospital last December, since that is when I remember really coming to like it. Of course I was also super doped up on painkillers, so I'm not sure what the connection is!
7. What Makes You Beautiful, by OneDirection - Yes, I'm one of those haha. I am a big fan of boy bands, and I am still a huge Backstreet Boys fan, so I am glad that there is a boy band that this generation can have! Plus the lyrics make me smile - they are so adorable!
8. Rama Lama Ding Dong, by The Edsels - This song also makes me smile! One of my best friends hooked my on fun 50's music like this. Plus, it was featured in the episode of The Muppet Show with Mark Hammill/Luke Skywalker, which is how I heard this particular song. I am a sucker for good harmony :)
That's all I have for now. Hope you found something new to try! What do you listen to for inspiration?
