These Songs Make Me Want to Cry a Bit

Lately I have been playing a few songs over and over again. Pretty much sappy, full of regret and longing type songs and I have been obsessed. Here is what they are. Live them, love them, eat them!


First off is Comfortable by John Mayer. Yes I know that it has been out there for a while now but hey better late then never right???

Go to it !

Next is Wish You Well by Katie Herzig . This song was Tuesday's episode of Pretty Little Liars, which is how I found it. It took me a matter of 2 seconds to fall in love this song. The perfect goodbye song. It has that small glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel!

Listen!

So enjoy, listen, and don't be ashamed to cry!

Quick Update

Generally I just write about music because simply, it is what I like. But I am a little book worm. I found out about this Read-A-Thon that goes Monday to Wednesday which I will be participating in. Also my friend Danielle who reviews books asked me if I wanted to write a review about a few books so what better way to kill two birds with one stone? Expect some books to be talked about in the near future!

Hayley Williams

I've already been through my " I love Paramore, I want to dye my hair red" phase but as I was hunting for some music on youtube I came across something very interesting. The song is called Teenagers by Haley Williams , the lovely lady in front of Paramore ( Listen here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9YTgamgtjU) .

This song was in the Jennifer's Body soundtrack, and it was one of Hayley's demos.

As a guitar player, these chords are fun to play and as a teenager this song is so relatable.

Well how was I to know

That what we carved in stone

Would be so temporary?

Well how was I to know

That my first crack at love

Would not be the last

Would not be be the last?

Hits the nail on the head! I wish this song had been on one of Paramore's album's!

Pretty Little Liars

So am I the only one who loves the music on the show Pretty Little Liars? I read the books a few years ago, loved them. But seriously I feel like whoever decides the music for the show is taking everything of my playlist! Be sure to check out these:
"In My Stride" by Oh Mercy

It is so beautiful and catchy at the same time. I was singing it two minutes after hearing it!

"Thieves and Their Hands" by Rachael Cantu ( fast forward to 0:10)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlkg0H7z6MA
Just one of those songs that make you a bit happier inside.

"Fresh Pair of Eyes by Brooke Waggoner"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbVE9PTOr8Q
There aren't very many lyrics, but it still make me want to cry anyways!


So much good music! I'll probably be searching the internet right after the show tonight until I find every single song. ABC Family has a page where they list all the songs in the order they appeared but I have very little patience.
