Mix Tape Mondays: Moments

I thought i'd try something new today and share a short playlist of songs that had hogged the repeat button lately. This weeks playlist is kind of random. I didn't realize it until I wrote this out but this playlist does have a theme: moments.

I've been obsessed with moments lately. When you catch yourself falling in love. When you experience sudden courageousness. When you step back and take a good look at all of the positive things in your life. When you are happy, sad, or angry. When someone quotes your favorite tv show and they don't even know it. Moments are happening all of the time and they usually inspire art.

1. Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen.

First song on this weeks playlist rightfully so because it might have just saved my life this week Dozing off on a five hour drive while you're sitting shot gun and have to be on deer watch is not a very good thing. So when this song comes on the radio at 8 at night and you happen to know the words you must not fall asleep. You can't really fall asleep to this song anyway. Its just that powerful. Bonus, its a six minute song so that is a couple minutes that you are not asleep at the wheel!

2. Cop Car, Keith Urban.

The entire Fuse album is great! Its like a scrapbook of a summer cross country road trip that you can't help but fall in love every other city.  The reason this particular song gets the limelight is because if i hadn't liked it so garsh darn much i wouldn't have received the album for my birthday and thus would have missed something incredible.

 

3. When You Look Me In The Eyes, Jonas Brothers.

This song. Listen to it or don't listen to it. I do not care what you do. This song is mine. I call dibs. I claim it.  I need a box of tissues while listening to the LiVe version. This song is the moments when i became a Jonas fan. If you read my last post you'll understand why that is so special to me.

4. Love Is An Open Door, Frozen Soundtrack.

No spoilers if you haven't seen the movie. I just do not understand why people don't like this one. Okay i know the reason but its such an adorable song. Its a conversation between two people that just met and realize that they really like each other. Adorable!

 

5. In Love With You, First Date Soundtrack.

Don't let the tittle fool you, this is a very angry, hate filled moment. I think it's hilarious. This song is all about moments and reasons why this guy doesn't like his ex anymore. I haven't had the privilege of seeing this play live but i believe this is the moment when he finally stands up for himself and dumps her for good. Again don't take my word for it, i'm just guessing. Zachary Levi just so happens to sing this song. TALENTED! I could listen to his voice all day. I swear. There is an f-bomb and sexual content to this song so if you are sensitive to that you might want to skip this one.

That's the playlist for the week. But a list such as this would not be complete without honorable mentions. Moves like Jagger, Maroon 5. Leavin', Jesse McCartney. Shame, Keith Urban.
