Five Favorite Songs

Today I had plans, great plans. Grand plans. Working out, writing, doing research for a specific blog post I have been wanting to do,  plenty of delightfulness.

Today, I got called into work.

That means although I do get a little bit extra money this week, I got one less day off. That meant nothing i wanted to do got done. But that's okay.

Instead of spending a bunch of time deciding what to write that won't take too long, so I can indeed get some creative writing done, I have decided to post my top 5 (current) favorite songs. Some of these have been pretty consistently my favorites, others are newly discovered.

1.) The first one is a more recently discovered one (at least for me).  It is Brighter by Against the Current.

It is nice to listen to before I try doing some intense writing sessions. The chorus is incredibly motivating. In fact, I'm currently listening to this. 

2.) The second one I discovered purely by accident. It came along with my "Fight Song" Pandora Station. It is Stand By You by Rachel Platten. 

 (the music video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwB9EMpW8eY -- for some reason it wouldn't let me connect them).

Every time I hear this song, I think of my lovely little sister, Lezli. I hope she knows that I'm always here for her even though I'm not in the same city.

3.) The next song is by Christina Perri. I jump back and forth between her song Human, The Words, and Be My Forever. SO here are all three. 

 

 Again I couldn't seem to get the official music video (that's right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9tc9R_Y3FY with Captain Killian Hook for my OUAT peeps.)

4.) Basically anything by Karliene. Like seriously. This woman is amazing (although I'm not sure if I'm just a fan because her and I seem to have common show/ movie tastes). I currently am pretty obsessed with her Game of Thrones songs, which is why Sansa's Hymn makes this list. 

5.) This one was probably the most difficult for me to decide on (including the one that I turned into 3 so... yeah). I was debating between this one (Kasey Musgraves -- Follow Your Arrow) 

and this one (Fire and Ice -- Within Temptation) 

and this one (Lost in Paradise -- Evanescence)  

For anyone who is curious, I'm pretty obsessed with Amy Lee from Evanescence as well. All of the "Which celebrity do you look like most?" things I have ever done have all ended with her and I don't complain at all.

Well this was fun. What are your top five favorite songs (or more)? How about favorite music videos?

Until Next Time,

Shelby Hild.

P.S. This has been a really odd birthday week,

P.P.S. Next week may be off for posts because my days off are flipping around again. So sorry.
