2014 Blogger Challenge 9 | Music playlist

What's the 2014 Blogger Challenge?

It was started by Gaby from AnotherGirlyBlog. Two posts will go up each month (towards the beginning and middle), each with a different topic.

This week's topic: Music
I have been listening to these songs on repeat!

MAX - Streets of Gold
How did they make it in slow motion and have the mouthing and lyrics match up??

Kina Grannis - Dear River
I love everything about this music video.

Leroy Sanchez - Valerie (Cover)
Oh man, his voice...

Megan Nicole, Alex G, & Tiffany Alvord - If I Could Change Your Mind (Cover)
So glam and rebellious.

Tori Kelly & Todrick Hall - Best Thing I Never Had (Cover)
Heaven.

What are some songs in your playlist?

Music of the moment

These tunes have been stuck in my head for a while!

Bruno Mars- Treasure

This song is super catchy and sorta has a 70s/80s vibe.
"Honey, you're my golden star" <3

Paramore- Still Into You

Her vocals are amazing!

"I should be over all the butterflies, but I'm into you"

Karmin- Acapella

I've been watching their videos since their cover of Chris Brown's 'Look At Me Now'. They are so fun and quirky, and their music really stand out.

"All the harmony went falling outta key, so now you gotta find another"

Tell me your music of the moment! I would love to hear some new music.

Love, V

My top 5 most-played songs

Good music. It's pretty high on my list of priorities. We all love our sleep (it's hard to get out of bed on a cold winter's morning), we love love (it's in every good movie we watch) and good music is just one of those things that help make our day.

I always find that I learn the lyrics to great songs much faster & easier than any school work.

Here are my top 5 most played songs on my computer:

1. Bright Lights by Alex Goot

2. Rainbow by Oh Land

3. Touch Your Lips to Mine by the Goodnight Fellows

4. Lights by Ellie Goulding

5. Say You Like Me by We The Kings

Check out these songs if they are new to you. They are my top 5 songs, so I don't need to tell you how much I like them.

Harmonies, violin & ukulele

The Good Mad may sound like a strange band name, but Allie Gonino has an explanation, "There is madness in all of us. We have the choice to use our madness to create something for the good of all and illuminate the ugly truth in a beautiful way… or to divide and conquer. This music is our attempt at the former." I'm extremely glad that they're musicians.

Who knew that The Lying Game would teach us anything other than lies and betrayal (it's a great show, don't get me wrong!). After hearing Allie sing on the show, I HAD to check out her Wikipedia page. Laurel is by far my favourite character on the show!

For the last few weeks, I have been tapping, humming (where are all the lyrics?!) and bopping along to the 5 songs on their website. The folk style music is different - and way better! - than the current pop songs on the radio. I love ALL the songs, but there's something about Coconut Grove that makes me want to put it on repeat. Maybe the image of driving past orchards in the countryside with your head out the window of a pickup truck?

Trust me, you will not regret it!

What's your favourite song/band/musician?
