Day 3: The Music of My Life

Have you ever listened to a song that just made you smile, laugh, or maybe even cry?? Since I started college music has integrated itself into part of me. I have always loved music, but now it seems I can't go a minute without music (unless of course I’m asleep). I've found websites like Playlist and Grooveshark where I can build a playlist and listen for hours.

There seems to be certain songs that I listen to over and over. For some reason I'm drawn to them. It's like they express a part of my soul in ways that I don't have the words to do. So here it is: Rachael's Playlist (with brief descriptions)!!

Rachael's Top 10 Favorite Songs of the Moment
10. Open Your Eyes--Snow Patrol: I first heard this song in ER in the Episode "21 Guns". I can't really explain what exactly about I like about it, but I know that I can’t stop listening to it.

9. Secret--The Veronicas: I found this song on accident while listening to some of their other stuff and it made me laugh. I'm sure we all have someone we can relate to this song.

8. Club Can't Handle Me--Flo Rida ft. David Guetta: Everyone needs a good dance party song.

7. Now or Never--Vitamin String Quartet: I admit, I'm not one for instrumentals. I need something I can sing to, but this song has worked its way into my heart. It's perfect writing music. I found this group on accident last Saturday night and I can't stop listening to them.

6. A Year Without Rain--Selena Gomez: I admit, I'm not one for Disney pop stars. I won't listen to Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato drives me crazy, yet this song is AMAZING!!

5. Pearl--Katy Perry. I know, I know. Katy Perry, but I've been sucked in. I can't stop listening to her songs, especially her new CD "Teenage Dream". This song in particular has become a favorite. Every girl needs an empowerment song and this is it for me.

4. Missing--Flyleaf. I won't listen to anything else by Flyleaf since they kind of fit into the screamo category of music, something I won’t' do. This song though...it just...I don't even know, but I'm addicted.

3. Dare You to Move--Vitamin String Quartet: I love the original Switchfoot version of this, but this is so different. I can't listen to it without getting the chills.

2. Your Heart is an Empty Room--Death Cab for Cutie: This is another band I don't usually listen too, but doesn't everyone want someone to know them better than they even know themselves.

Drum Roll Please....My number one song of the moment...
Firework--Katy Perry: Yes I know, roll your eyes, but I can't stop listening to this song!! There is something about it. Maybe I'm a sucker for feel good songs, but oh well. Everyone needs to know they are special. So in case you haven't heard it (which if you haven't have you been living under a rock??) I'm including the video beneath. Happy watching.

See you all tomorrow
