iTunes Craziness

Okay, this is a takeoff of what my friend Carrie did.

I'm gonna shuffle my iTunes and describe each song to you guys.

Hope you enjoy.

One and Only--Adele
This song never fails to make me cry. The lyrics are so, so sappy--but that's what we all need every once in a while. I think we all need something to just sit down, listen, and cry our eyes out. Haven't we all had those days? My girls at least have...I'm guessing this is going to be a pretty girl-based blog. But anyway, back to the point. This song has clever yet simple, and sappy yet meaningful lyrics. The song's all around beautiful. The song itself has a pretty, slow beat and sound, feminine and elegant. I love this song.

He Wasn't There--Lily Allen
Great song. Lily Allen's mostly a hard core girl, but in this song she's talking about how her father was never there for anything when she was growing up, but he's come to try to make up for that. I love how simple the lyrics are, yet it took me a few thousand times listening just to figure out what the song was about. At first I thought it was about a boy that just was never there for her--oops.

I'm Yours--The Script
This song--you can't really tell if it's a happy one or a sad one. We all know of the song I'm Yours by Jason Mraz, but I'm almost positive a lot of you have never heard of the version by The Script. It's slow, it's sad, it's just right. However, it's about how much he loves this girl. So I'm not sure why it's so sad. Don't ask me. It's a clever mix of emotions. The Script starts talking about how "The bad news came, my best friend died...my knees went weak and you saw me cry. Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes." He's trying to get his girl to know that he's still a man no matter what, and he's still going to take care of her--at least, that's my take on this line. Love this song.

Distance--Christina Perri
No. Don't even get me started on my love for Christina Perri. It's almost tied with my love for Sara Bareilles. This song is a great, great song. It's so bitter sweet. The rhythm is so soothing that you feel like you can wrap yourself up in the song and fall asleep--it's like your safe inside of it (I get wayyyy too into music). She's trying to hold on to this guy that never had any business trying to fall in love with her--when they broke up, she still loves him, but she can never tell him. One of my favorite songs.

Kaleidoscope Heart--Sara Bareilles
Took me ages just to spell this right. But that's dedication for you. This song is all but a minute long, and packs every single emotion into it. The song she sings is about how everyone is totally different, but we all have the same essential colors inside of us. This song is completely a cappella, which just shows that Bareilles had a lot she learned from her days in her a cappella group (Wikipedia). Beautiful, simple song.

AND FINALLY...


Blame it on the Rain--He is We
Cute, whimsical lyrics..."Tell me does she look at you the way I do, try to understand the words you say and the way you move...does she get the same big rush, when you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush, tell me...am I crazy or is this more than a crush?" They're from a teenage girl's standpoint, which makes it all the more relatable. And the main singer's voice is just so wispy and beautiful, it makes the song all the more better. One of my favorite songs right now.
