during the summer, finding new songs is one of my favorite things to do for day parties, going out, and laying by the pool. i'd like to share of few of the songs i am obsessed with (though they may be kind of old because i do NOT listen to the radio haha) so check them out and also read some of my favorite lyrics!
Smile
Avril Lavigne
definitely a going out song or one for happily laying by the pool. i added this song to my summer list as SOON as i heard it and now i cannot get enough of it!
favorite lyrics
You know that I'm a crazy bitch /I do what I want , when I feel like it /All I wanna do is loose control
Don't Turn Out the Lights
NKOTBSB
new kids on the block & the backstreet boys
never ever thought this would happen! two rival-worthy bands colliding for one song? the product is surprisingly a hit and i'm not sure if i like it because it truly bonds my sisters and i, or because it's new kids and backstreet boys, or if it's just good haha
favorite lyrics
And instantly you love me like that/right back?
Written in the Stars
Tinie Tempah
a light and airy tune capable of putting you to sleep, getting your friends on the dance floor, and putting you in a good mood. impatiently waiting for tinie tempah's next hit!
favorite lyrics
For a sec I even gave up believing and praying / I even done the legal stuff and was leaded astray / Now money is the root to the evilist ways / But have you ever been so hungry that it keeps you awake / Mate, now my hunger would leave them amazed
If I Die Young
The Band Perry
something a bit slower like "if i die young" is one of my favorite down songs right now. however, i love listening to it on cloudy and sunny days. not only is a beautiful song, but the lyrics are amazing, making my choice to only put a few words down extremely challenging!
favorite lyrics
If I die young, bury me in satin / Lay me down on a, bed of roses / Sink me in the river, at dawn / Send me away with the words of a love song / Lord make me a rainbow / I'll shine down on my mother / She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors...
You & I
Lady Gaga
i'm sure this does not come to a surprise but "you and i" by lady gaga completely blew me away. it is way different from her poppy sound and more midwest, country, and soulful...which i LOVE. for sure a love song but one that you can rock to. this may be the song i play this summer during any time of the day :)
favorite lyrics
(There's Somethin'), Somethin', somethin' about the chase / (6 Whole years) / I'm a New York woman born to run you down / Still want my lipstick all over your face / There's somethin', somethin' about / Just knowin' when it's right / So put your drinks for Nebraska / For Nebraska, Nebraska I love you.
