not gonna lie, this will probably be one of the strangest playlist mix yet. but this has got to be my favorite one so far. a lot of forgotten oldies and plenty of new discoveries, so whoopee! onward.
01 [joy williams-charmed life] what I'm about to tell ya, what I'm about to say, don't even let it throw you, it just might change your day. this song should be my theme song for life. ha.
02 [mindy gledhill-all about your heart] whimsical, airy. my type of song right here.
03 [breanne duren-daydreams (adam young remix)] you know what makes me smile? the word "reverie" and the last two notes of this song. Breanne's voice reminds me of Lights sometimes and she really seems like a sweet person too. totally would love to meet her after AdamY[; (she sings backup vocals with him when O.C. is on tour.)
04 [measure-closer] can't quite explain what I like about this song and artist. when it clicks, it just sticks. <--that was not meant to rhyme, but hey, it works. cheesiness at the best yo.
05 [measure-begin again] read opinion above.
06 [for king & country-busted heart] these lyrics have echoed a prayer the past few weeks... (trivia: these guys are the younger bros of Rebecca St. James. cool, right? more trivia: Rebecca St. James is married to the bassist of Foster the Kids.)
07[green river ordinance-heart of me] props to the bestest friend who found this via noisetrade and recommended it to me. totally approved.
08 are you ready for this? guess what my current favorite genre could be... (I use "favorite" very loosely since I rarely ever have favorites for anything, especially in the world of music.) [kaskade ft. mindy gledhill-eyes] yup, that's right: trance music. I know, I never thought I was the type either. I think it started after listening to Armin van Buuren's "Youtopia" ft. none other than Adam Young. can't say I like all the music under this category though and I can't say it's for just anybody. if you hate repetitive music... you better not be listening to this. haha
09 [Q;indivi-part of your world remix] who doesn't love a Disney song!? and MY SONG at that? haha just kidding. I'm horrible. I don't like being associated with the merm but I still bring it up. sigh Ariel, smh smh, but this is such a fun remix/cover! (just fyi, this isn't my fave Disney song. if I must choose, it'd be a tie between Tangled's "I See the Light" and Hercules' "I Can Go the Distance". absolutely love them both.)
09 [dvorak-humoresque] I know, wtheck is this?! classical music on the playlist?! GET OUT. paha shall I explain? the shorter story would be I'm in the mood for something classy. the longer explanation would be this piece and I goo waay back to kindergarten. growing up, my mother had this flute CD that had been gifted to her by a childhood friend, and of course on that CD was none other than this piece. the big bro and I listened to it nonstop while we did our homework, our chores, during breaks etc. the song was also part of the soundtrack on a Sherlock Holmes PC game that my bro and I spent literally weeks fervently trying to unravel. (the game is called "Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring" for anybody curious. look I'll even attach where the song appears in the game HERE. skip to 2:43.) naturally, I had grown to love 'Humoresque' a lot by then so I chose to play it my seventh grade year for my violin recital. I'm not sure I did the piece justice. I doubt it. still. good times. k, I'll stop rambling now. ;)
10 [lifehouse-storm]
11 [hong pei yu-tiptoe love] remember me talking about the Taiwanese drama "In Time With You"? yeah, this was on the soundtrack. I don't listen to Chinese songs, but this is a total exception. (I say that a lot, don't I?)
12 [tim be told- the hymn (o what mercy)] I just want to end this playlist with this song I found completely by accident. the lyrics are so powerful. I especially like that third verse where it goes, "All our treasures we have counted loss for to surrender is to gain" (sorry about the video, couldn't find a better one.)
