Yup, that's been me these past couple of weeks I don't know why when everyone else tires of listening to a song they listen to a lot, they begin to dislike it, or they just avoid listening to it. As I've mentioned before not me. I will listen to a single song for hours on end.
Funny thing is, none of the songs are even recent new ones. They've been out for years. And I don't even know why I'm obsessed with them. Sometimes I obsess over a song, because I love the person's voice, the lyrics of it fit whatever I'm currently feeling, or they help me write.
So anyways here are five completely irrelevant songs although I guess in their cores they relate.
The first one is Breathe (2 AM) by Anna Nalick. Let start off with I'm in love with her voice. Love it! I'd marry her just based on her voice. I can't get enough of it. Apparently the song is actually about an abortion? I'm not sure if this is true but I could see it. It's definitely about a love that went wrong, with lyrics like "can you help me unravel my latest mistake, I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season," it's pretty easy to see that. And the beginning of this song, which includes said quote is one of my favorite beginnings of a song. It evokes very strong emotions from me, and it's actually what helped me create a character for the current story I'm working on. For those of you following my story, this song will eventually be "sung" by Madison. And you'll see just how the song fits her. No it won't be her having an abortion. Listen to the song. One of my all time favorite lyrics from the song would be "2 AM and I'm still awake writing a song, if I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threatening the life it belongs to. And I feel like I'm naked in front of a crowd cause these words are my diary screaming out loud and I know that you'll use them however you want to." This song is fricken poetic end of story.
The next song is Look After You by The Fray. I love The Fray. That being said this song is no different. I also recently heard a cover done by someone else and wow what a voice. It's got some great and deep lyrics that are amazing. The beginning is one of my favorite parts of the song if not my favorite, "if I don't say this now, I will surely break as I'm leaving the one I want to take, forget the urgency but hurry up and wait, my heart started to separate." Wow, if you don't like that get out now -__- just kidding. But seriously. It sets the mood and tone of the song and I can't help but relate. Who hasn't ever wanted to confess something and felt that they'd die if they didn't get it out of them. And then talking about being separated from the one they love, well come on now, my heart isn't made of stone. It's a heartbreaking beautiful song in my opinion, and has helped me get in the mindset of what Owen (another character in my story) feels.
Song number three would be She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5. I love them, sue me. And I love Payphone but that's not the song I'm focusing on! So back to SWBL. I like the beat, it's very down to earth and mellow. This song every time I listen to it, I want to get up and sing at the top of my lungs, I'm currently listening to it, and I want to sing but I'm in the library and that'd be awkward and social suicide. Anyways, my favorite part of this song would be "I don't mind spending everyday out on your corner in the pouring rain, look for the girl with the broken smile." This is the part that I fricken try to harmonize with when listening to it. And I love it because it helps me write and I can imagine a whole scene play out. Spoiler alert, this song will pop up in my story as well. Another favorite lyric is "I want to make you feel beautiful," in essence this is what I feel a relationship should be like and what the boyfriend should do for their loved one. When(if)ever I get a girlfriend, that will be my goal.
And onto numero quatre (that's four). So Sick by Neyo. Come on, he's a great singer. This is a break up song. I guess. But I love the beginning of it, because it tells a story, and I can easily see this story. "Gotta change my answering machine now that I'm alone cause right now it says that we can't come to the phone and I know it makes no sense cause you walked out the door, but it's the only way I hear your voice anymore," this I can perfectly picture, feeling so strongly about someone even though it's all over. There's so many other parts to this song that I love, and I hope to be able to create character interactions that are as strong as the feelings present in this song for that other person. Oh and I'm so sick of love songs. No just kidding, I can't get enough of them.
Ohh for the last one. My Life Would Suck Without You, by Kelly Clarkson. Some days I feel like I'm the only that still loves her, oh and my mom, but we don't speak of that. Moving on. This song has always been one of my favorites of hers. I have plenty of others worth a shout out like Because of You and Behind These Hazel Eyes and plenty of others. But this one. I can't get enough of. Maybe because although I'm not in love, I still have plenty of people that my life would simply suck without them. But it's still such a great song about that one person that you couldn't live without. I think this song will also pop up in my story at some point. Maybe, or just the essence of it. "Cause we belong together now yeah, forever united here somehow yeah, you got a piece of me, and honestly my life would suck without you," Amen sista Kelly amen.
Warning: If you ever hear me sing any of these don't freak just simply join in.
I guess I kind of figured out why I keep listening to these five songs. They get me in the zone for writing. Huh, I hadn't made the connection till writing this blog. Of course I have other songs that maybe I'll talk about that help me. Who knows.
