I chose whichever video I liked best, whether or not it actually belonged to the artist, no matter how bad, yeah its like that ;-)
If It Kills Me - Jason Mraz
What can be said about this song, I played it non stop post break-up for no apparent reason other than it got me through the days and nights.
White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes
I have played this repeatedly for the last few weeks, it has become my fall/winter anthem and will always remind me of 2010
You Are The Best Thing - Ray LaMontagne
This is what Damian tells me everyday...the first time he said it to me I didn't realize he was referencing the song and I almost cried. Ray has become our "thing" and it was difficult to just pick one of his songs but this was the one that still gets me every damn time.
Drumming Song - Florence + The Machine
This album in its entirety dragged me feet first out of my depression...this song pushed/pulled me towards Damian.
Daylight - Matt & Kim
My happy song, my happy band, my happy concert, a great night, a great memory.
The Minnow & The Trout - A Fine Frenzy
This is a SLP song...it was one of the songs that I instantly heard and reminded me of us and our differences. Somehow even right after the breakup I could still listen to it. The power of a truly great song I guess, it transcends it all.
Skinny Love - Bon Iver
This was my song with SLP...and posting this was the first time I'd heard it since the break up. It was cool ya'll :-) It will always remind me of him and the beginning, the good times.
Night by Night - Chromeo
I love them, they make my insides happy, make me want to dance and seeing Dave1 live was one of the highlights of my year, as was dancing to them in Austin with my boys. Watching this video for the first time I had my mouth open and my tongue hanging out...there may have been some drool, maybe.
Hey Soul Sister - Train
As cheesy as this may seem this is the ONE song that made Taco and me smile in the midst of the worst depression. It was on constant repeat in the car, in the house, wherever we could play it. We shouted the lyrics until we couldn't anymore. It helped get us through the summer.
Time Warp - Rocky Horror/Glee
This brings back several great memories for me Rocky Horror night at Z&L's, Halloween and the Glee Rocky Horror episode. I am a HUGE musical fan and this is one of my all time favorites so having such a Rocky filled October for me was spectaish!! Its been on repeat for me since then.
Need You Now - Lady Antebellum
This became mine and Marisol's summer anthem...so much so that it's now her ring tone when she calls me. Its such a good song to sing drunk at the top of your lungs. Don't ask how I know that, I'll never tell.
Relator - Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson
I love this song, I love their voices together, I listened to this to get over it all and it helped. He wrote the album to get over a break up and it helped me get over mine. Thank you Pete.
The Light - Common
This one goes out to the Gerbil...thanks to the Antisteez crew I found this gem and fell in love. Common is the one hip hop artist that I can listen to and appreciate no matter my mood. Despite that I hadn't heard this song...it was in their Birthday Podcast mixed in with other tracks and I couldn't get it out of my head. I've been listening to it nonstop since then and I like to think it found me for a reason.
