Here are my 7 favorite songs, in no particular order.
7. Baba O'Riley - The Who
Why I Love It - Because it's so energetic and when I am frustrated, I can listen to this song and rock out. It helps. By the way, this song is not called "Teenage Wasteland." I know this because my roommate drilled it into me.
Favorite Lyrics - The exodus is here / The happy ones are near / Let's get together / Before we get much older.
6. 1979 - Smashing Pumpkins
Why I Love It - When I'm feeling melancholy and do NOT want to cheer up, I can listen to this song and just mope about my life. It makes me feel better.
Favorite Lyrics - "And we don't know / Just where our bones will rest / To dust I guess
5. What's My Age Again - Blink 182
Why I Love It - I actually stumbled upon the choir version of this song first. It's from a TV show called "All the Small Things" and it is amazing. You should check out the series. There are only twelve episodes and they're all on YouTube. I also love the orginal version, because it's so upbeat and fun. I listen to it when I'm having an "I don't give a fuck" kind of day.
Favorite Lyrica - No-one should take themselves so seriously / With many years ahead to fall in love / Why would you wish that on me?
4. Steal Away - Robbie Dupree
Why I Love It - I love this song because the chorus is so catchy. Whenever it is on, I can't help but sing and dance inappropriately. Sorry for anyone near me when I hear this song. It just makes me so happy.
Favorite Lyrics - Don't tease me / Why don't you please me / And show me / What you came here for
3. Misery - Mike Tompkins
Why I Love It - Technically this is a cover of Maroon 5's version, and I really like Maroon 5. But you have to understand that I am madly in love with Mike Tompkins. I love him. I love everything he does. I love his face. And his clothes. And his cute smile. And his EVERYTHING OKAY. Seriously. I dig this boy. I love his cheesy dance moves. I love Mike Tompkins and I love this song.
Favorite Lyrics - Every word Mike Tompkins says is my favorite lyric.
2. 5 Years Time - Noah and the Whale
Why I Love It - I get legitimate indie street cred for this song, because I loved it before anybody knew it existed. I loved it before that car commercial. So there. This song is the song I listen to when I'm feeling giddy or just abnormally weird. It makes me smile a lot. And there are days when it's hard to smile. After belting this song a few times, it's easier to go on!
Favorite Lyrics - Oh well I look at you and say / 'It’s the happiest that I’ve ever been' / And I’ll say 'I no longer feel I have to be James Dean'
1. September - Earth, Wind & Fire
Why I Love It - I found this song in high school. I love it. It's so 70s. It makes me wanna dance and sing even more inappropriately than "Steal Away." My roommate found me an awesome cover of this song, which I also linked to because it is so good. It's classic. Love it forever and ever.
Favorite Lyrics - Our hearts were ringing / In the key that our souls were singing / As we danced in the night / Remember how the stars stole the night away
