I was struggling and struggling and struggling some more because I know that my blog is overdue for something that pulls at the heartstrings, but I am in a good mood and don't want that to change by writing something that may or may not make me cry. Therefore, today we shall smile!
Yas!
Okay, so I'm a big believer in the power of music. I find it beautiful how certain lyrics bring up memories you haven't thought about in years, how a note may make you feel like the sun is shining, and how an arrangement of chords can put goosebumps on your skin.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Calm it down there, kiddo. You just said this wasn't going to be a serious post, but it's getting kinda heavy in here . . .
I am not a liar! So here is my playlist to having the greatest damn day of your life!
Here we go!
(Also, the below are in no particular order, I just like counting things!)
#1 Smallpools - Over & Over
This song is so upbeat and so carefree! I love it and it always puts me in a good mood! And 1:57 just sounds pretty cool:)

#2 WALK THE MOON - Sidekick
WALK THE MOON is my life right now, at least for this week before a new artist wins over my heart. Anyway! This song is so fun and had me dancing like an idiot for like two hours at work -- not even mad. I was going to dedicate this to one of my best friends, actually, and then he talked about making out and realized he was talking about a love interest . . . it would have been awkward. Anyway, have a listen!

#3 Billy Idol - Dancing with Myself
It's Billy Idol, obviously. This song, though terribly long, just gets you dancing whether you're with friends or BY YOURSELF, like the song states constantly. This song rocks, enough said.

#4 Cash Cash ft. Bebe Rexha - Take Me Home
Just yes. Everyone needs a little dance music to get them going, and this is definitely one of those yeah-I'm-dancing-like-an-idiot-in-my-car-what-you-gonna-do-about-it kind of songs.

#5 Glee Cast - Valeria
Yes, this song was taken from Amy Winehouse (yeah? I'm pretty 99% it is, we'll just say it is). Anyway! I love this woman's voice, so I prefer the glee version for once in my life. I always find myself either doing the Carlton or grabbing someone and trying to swing dance whenever I listen to this song. Love it!

#6 The Maine - Like We Did (Windows Down)
As the title suggests, this song is PERFECT for just driving around with your friends with the windows down and having the time of your life. The Maine is awesome! I mean, come on, look at that sexy album cover!

#7 Owl City
Besides two or three songs, literally every Owl City song puts me in a great mood. His lyrics are so random and silly, his music is upbeat, and it's just really cool music. However, I'll pick one song in particular . . . . Deer In The Headlights.
This song is kind of funny, actually, if you really listen to it!

#8 Young the Giant - My Body
This one was sooooo hard to pick! Between My Body, In My Home, and Anagram, ugh, I almost couldn't do it!
MY BODY TELLS ME NOOOOOOOOOOO, but wait, it's telling me yeeeeees!
Okay, so maybe I added the last part on my own . . .

#9 5 Seconds of Summer - Kiss Me Kiss Me
Another hard one! I was juggling Greenlight, Mrs. All American, She Looks So Perfect, hell, I was considering practically their entire 2014 album.

#10 The Sweet - Ballroom Blitz
I can't give an explanation to this one. Just yas.

I think I'll call it good here?
I'm not sure you guys understand how difficult this was for me. Considering that I listen to practically every genre and wasn't able to put 1/134 of my musical interest into this list nearly kills me because I can jam out to it but no one else can. Horatio, I die.
But alas, I digress.
Anyway! I hope this list makes for an awesome new playlist in your phones, or something, so you can jam out and feel like you're on top of the world!
I apologize for the awkward terms. I just feel like a lot of what I was saying was weird . . . ? Yeah, it was, but oh well! Hopefully next time I shall shower you with "the feels".
Have a wonderful day!
Hope you had a merry christmas!
Go out and do yo thang! But with a coat . . . it's chilly.
Ciao!
