But today's post is brought to you by complete boredom and my iTunes. Here I will give you...you guessed it...A LIST of the songs that have changed my life so far. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Oh look another hipster faggot talking about how much music is important to her." Well, for your information I am 1) not a hipster and never intend to be and 2) music is not THAT important to me. I just, you know, kinda like love it. It's basically another one of those unhealthy obsessions I have. Like the one I have for Nicole Gausch.
So, let's continue on with this jizz.
Also, there are videos if anyone cares enough to actually listen.
One more thing, there's no particular order, except maybe the first three, but then I got lazy.
1) You'll Ask For Me - Tyler Hilton
- Well, there's a surprise for ya. A Tyler Hilton song being number one. You all know about my undying love for him and know about the embarrassment I made of myself when I ACTUALLY met him. But this song is great and before my computer fucked up I had listened to it over 200 times.
- I was in like the fifth grade when I first heard this song and thought nothing of it. And then I got on my One Tree Hill binge and heard it again. Then rewatched the video over and over again to see Hilarie Burton. #that'snotcreepy. But now I honestly consider this as to be my favorite song. Consider yourself special cause I rarely admit what my favorite song is. I know you'll never hear it the same way I do, but please, no judging.
- This is a favorite because of the memory that comes along with it. June 16th, 2009 I went to see Bryan Greenberg with my mom, cousin, and aunt. #iamcool But on the ride back my cousin and I listened to this song over and over until we made the hour car ride back home. We belted out every lyric and screamed pretty much every time he said 'fuck' in the song. Best. Night. Evaar.
- I was a little kid when I first heard this song. I remember my mom singing it as I sat in the back seat trying to be cool and block her out. It wasn't until I got older and started appreciating all different kinds of music that I realized how much I love this song. Eight minutes and twenty-nine seconds and I know every lyric. From Buddy Holly's death to everything else music important throughout the 60's and 70's this song just makes me, dare I say, happy. And ignore the monstrosity of hair in the video. It is an old song.
- *GASP* Chloe likes country?? What a surprise! Yes, yes I know you're all wondering about how I fell into such an ear-aching genre. Well, it was that song right there. Thanks to my creepy blog stalking, I found that song on some random blog. Since then country music has been a big part of my life. Brad Paisley, Josh Turner, Taylor Swift. Everyone gives me strange looks when I tell them I like country. And I'll admit it is weird, but I do and I'm stickin' to it.
- He's my favorite Irish man. Well, him and Peter Griffin. Main reason I like this song? "Loving is good if your dick's made of wood." It's a bit immature, but it really is my favorite line. The rest of the song is beautifully written and his voice makes me melt. *sigh* Seriously, just buy his album, 9 and you'll love him too.
- Only because it's what me and Mallory play when we're about to pull a fluff. So many great memories wrapped up in this song.
- So...couldn't find Dylan actually singing this one, so here's Tyler for ya. I first heard this song when it was being covered by Tyler Hilton and then after I HAD to hear the original. This song is always on repeat whenever I'm writing, which is supaa rare. But when it does happen that's what I'm listening to.
- This one's for you Nicole and Taylor. I heard this song live...be jealous. I bought his album on the spot and this song is what me and Taylor listen to every time we hang out...so every Sunday.
- Yet another song I heard on One Tree Hill. Honestly, I can't help myself. It's such good music. I mean, just listen to that voice!
- This might sound creepy, but if Missy Higgins knocked on my door right now and started making out with me I would go gay right there on the spot. No question about it. #okmaybesome. But COME ON this song is awesome. And she plays the piano and songs and she's australian and, and yeah. OK, done freaking out. Sorry.
Damn this list is long.
- It's the lyrics that makes me love this song the most...and maybe the banjo. This is actually the song that made me love Ryan Adams. This is one guy that I love not for his hotness (because there's really none there), but because the songs he writes are beautiful and meaningful. His songs make up for the fact that he's not hot. How do you think he got Mandy Moore?
- Not well known, but still amazing. He opened for Bryan Greenberg when I saw him. I liked him cause we were wearing the same hat and well, now...yeah that's sort of the same reason.
- Well, it is about my life.
- The first Tyler Hilton song that I really heard. Really, he's just beautiful, right Nicole?
- Taylor's new favorite song. This one's really strong and it gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it. And then I listened to it fifty times after that. IT'S JUST SO GOOD. Like, really. BEAUTIFUL!
- Disney movies are the bomb. And the soundtrack is just amazing to me. I have all of the classic Disney songs on my iPod and I listen to them daily. This one just sticks out cause it's from one of my favorite movies and it really is the best song in the world. No seriously, I have complete control on what's the best in the world. Didn't you know? Oh well, I made Tyler Hilton the sexist man alive.
- Really, any one of their songs can go here. I'm being serious you guys, go buy Almost Everything I Wish I'd Said The Last Time I Saw You. It's a good album. AND HIS NAME IS GRUBBS FOR GODSAKE!
- You guessed it...One Tree Hill. Again such good music. Only this man and woman could take a song about heartbreak and make it sound so somber. The first line kind of just froze me in place when I first heard. I love, love, love, love this band.
I know you're all dying to know what's last. I mean, I made you read all of this, so it MUST be a great song. Well....
- Now this song has no where near changed my life except for the fact that I'm now a professional rapper. It's about my two favorite things in life. Sex and weeeeed. #completelies. But it's funny and by sixth grade I knew the entire song. Now that's skill.
Well, there you have it lady and gents. The songs that have changed my life (took me ten minutes to come up with this work of art). I hope you weren't bored out of your minds. If in some ways you don't like these songs, GET OVER IT.
Love ya.
This only took you 10 minutes?! SUCH GOOD MUSIC!
ReplyDeleteWell...it took me 10 minutes to find the songs, it took me an hour to actually type everything.
ReplyDeleteBut time is only a feeble invention.
AND THANK YOU
