My Songs

Eight songs. Just eight. But those eight songs are the most amazing songs in the world to me, either because they remind me of someone I love, or because they have powerful lyrics. Sometimes, when I'm in an emo enough mood, I'll set it to repeat and cry through the whole playlist a few times. :) That doesn't happen very often, though.

1. Paperthin Hymn - Anberlin

It's a beautiful song. I got it from a dear friend of mine, someone who knows my taste in music startlingly well. The music video is very moving.

2. Stolen - Dashboard Confessional

I think it goes without saying that this is a great song. You have stolen my heart? Come on. If a guy sang this song to me, I would melt, then pass out, then be in love with him forever :) I'm not too hard to please.

3. Lightning Crashes - Live

One of my best friend's favorite songs. He's got okay taste in music (:P kidding darling, I love your music). He made me listen to it once, and he kind of got me hooked. It doesn't have the same sentimental value that it has for him, but its a good song and it helps me remember that I'm loved.

4. Weapon - Matthew Good Band

Such a powerful song! The lyrics are incredible. I love the guitar riff in the beginning, and how it changes tempo about a minute and a half in. Here by my side, you are destruction.

5. Innocent - Our Lady Peace

This is pretty much my song. I request it at every single dance I go to. FINALLY we have a dj that has it :P Makes me cry when I'm emo. Me and Shayleah scream the lyrics like there's no tomorrow. Because it's/we're awesome like that.

6. Whispers in the Dark - Skillet

The first of 2 Skillet songs on my list. This song makes me remember that I am loved and protected in a way that no other song has ever been able to do. The first time I heard it, I couldn't speak for a few seconds. My love is just waiting to clothe you in crimson roses. The metaphors are stunning.

7. Open Wounds - Skillet

This is a bonus track released with the special edition of one of their CD's. This song makes me cry on a fairly frequent basis. Or it tears deep into my soul and makes me bleed where I'm the most raw. Either way, I can't listen to this song without it impacting me.

8. Promise - Spoken

A simple song with a good beat and an uplifting chorus. Things will get better, this I promise you. Loneliness won't last forever. It's gold. These boys need recognition for recording such a fantastic song. A medal or a Peace Prize or a small island somewhere.
