I always like a good OneRepublic song. Really dig the video for this one..
Music Monday -- iPod Shuffle March
Two songs that work together and a complete odd ball for this week's shuffle. But I really do love all these songs.
OneRepublic "Burning Bridges" -- You can never go wrong with OneRepublic. This is just a fun fun.
Mumford and Sons "Lovers' Eyes" -- Love all from Mumford and Sons. This song is no exception.
Timbaland and Katy Perry "If We Ever Meet Again" -- Such a fun pop song.
Music Monday -- iPod Shuffle December
Since I've finished my 101 Faves series for Music Monday, I thought I would do something complete different. I turned on my iPod, hit shuffle, and recorded my first 5 songs.
"Feel Again" by OneRepublic (Native)
"Eyes Wide Open" by Gotye (Making MIrrors)
"Dakota" by O.A.R. (Stories of a Stranger)
"Mrs. O" by The Dresden Dolls (Yes, Virginia)
"The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most" by Dashboard Confessional (MTV Unplugged)
Today's Music Monday will be the last until after the New Year. Next week, I am starting my traditional holiday break to spend time with family and friends and recharge for 2014. But never fear, I'll be on the lookout for some great new music during that time period.
Music Monday -- OneRepublic "Counting Stars"
I just really like OneRepublic. It's nothing super different or new, but solid good music. And I'm really digging their new album, Native.
Lyrics:
[Chorus] Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Yeah, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 1] I see this life Like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line In my face is flashing signs Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right At doing the wrong thing I feel something so wrong At doing the right thing I could lie, could lie, could lie Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus] Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 2]I feel the loveAnd I feel it burnDown this river every turnHope is a four letter word Make that money Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold I'm just doing what we're told
And I feel something so wrong At doing the right thing I could lie, could lie, could lie Everything that downs me makes me wanna fly
[Chorus] Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Bridge 4x:] Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons I learned
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus] Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Outro 4x:] Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons I learned
Bonus Video: OneRepublic and Michelle Chamuel on S4 of The Voice. I was totaling rooting for her to win the entire thing. She is amazing!
Music Monday -- 101 Faves New Songs Edition
As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time. To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account. Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme. Enjoy!
Mumford and Sons "Ghosts That We Knew" -- I think I had this song on repeat when the album was released. It's just way amazing!
The Civil Wars "Kingdom Come" -- I found them through The Hunger Games soundtrack. Now I am completely in love with them.
Florence + the Machine "What the Water Gave Me" -- Love her quirkyness. This song is the best on the album.
OneRepublic "Secrets" -- One of my go to bands for great sing along songs. I think I like the live version better...
