[30 Day Challenge] 30 Favorite Songs

Random Observation/Comment #272: Music, more than anything else, makes me nostalgic. I miss those days on the bus listening to my CD Mix and having it skip everytime we went over bumps.

Why This List?

Music has always played (ha) a big role in my life. I listen to music to set the mood and sometimes just to make me feel like I remember the lyrics to something. I sing it to myself and it’s really hard to be sad when you’re singing a cheerful tune.  Here are my favorite songs that put me in those right moods.

  1. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole

  2. “The Only Exception” by Paramore

  3. “Happy” by Pharrell Williams  – when I need to feel happy

This is an unbelievably difficult list to whittle down because I basically have the worst playlist of mixed moods I’ve ever seen. I’d be a terrible DJ.  It also looks like I don’t like any female singers. I’m doubting every song on this list the more and more I read it so I’ll just post it. Stop judging me! Ahhhhh…. this was a terrible idea.
