Day 15: This is How We Roll

Day 15. A song you love singing along to
Chosen: This is How We Roll by Florida Georgia Line featuring Luke Bryan

There's so many good songs out there that I love to sing along to! So, I decided to go with the most recent one. I've chosen This is How We Roll by Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan. Pretty much anything by FGL or Luke Bryan makes me want to turn up the radio when their songs come on and belt them out. So a song with BOTH of them TOGETHER? Yes please. 

We're proud to be young 
We stick to our guns 
We love who we love and we wanna have fun
We cuss on them Mondays 
Pray on them Sundays 
Pass it around and we dream about one day

Up next: A song that has made you cry (granted I can actually think of one)

Day 14: For the Nights I Can't Remember

Day #14. Your favourite love song(s)
Chosen: For the Nights I Can't Remember by Hedley

For any of you who are keeping track, or for those of you who have done this list thingy before, you will notice that I changed it for today, for obvious reasons. It was originally "A song that reminds you of your current girlfriend/boyfriend", so to keep up with the theme, I thought I would do my favourite love songs. 

My favourite love song is For the Nights I Can't Remember by the Canadian band Hedley. I know, this may seem like a weird choice. There's just something about this song. It's gotta be the live version though, not the album version. Maybe it's the piano, maybe it's Hoggard's singing. I don't actually know. As I said, there's just something about this song that gets me right in the romance-y place.

  

A close second would be A Drop in the Ocean by Ron Pope. For this one, it is definitely the piano melody that does it for me (with a mix of it being featured in an episode of The Vampire Diaries where it so perfectly fit with the scene).



And then a very close third would be If I Fell by The Beatles.

Day 13: I Don't Love You

Well that was a bit of a hiatus. Almost completely unintentional. A mixture of stress, final exams, not knowing what to write about, and job searching caused that two-ish month lull to happen. I'm going to continue with the 25 songs thing I was doing before (I only made it halfway though) because I really like talking about music. If you haven't noticed.

Day #13: A song that reminds you of a former friend
Chosen: I Don't Love You by My Chemical Romance 

I could have picked any My Chemical Romance song for this one, but I decided to go for a more mellow one of their songs that actually got a fair amount of radio airplay. Back in the eighth grade (and ninth grade too), my friends and I were obsessed with this band, that's why I decided to go with this one. Any MCR song reminds me of my friend back then, Leigh-Anne. I think this was the only band we listened to for a while. She and I have since parted ways, not entirely sure why, happened some time in high school, but these songs bring back memories of her friendship. Ahhhh, nostalgia. 

I Don't Love You came off of the album The Black Parade, which in my opinion is their best album. Many people will argue for Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, but I will respectfully tell them that they are wrong.

Other honorable mentions from this album include: Famous Last Words, Disenchanted, Welcome to the Black Parade, and the so-many-feelings-tear-jerker Cancer.

Ahhhh, Frank Iero. What a beaut.
