When words fail music speaks



            I started typing this post with no particular topic in mind to write about, but as I was inattentively sitting here listening my iPod I got the idea to do a “what’s on my iPod” post.  So here it is folks! Gosh, I feel like an elderly talk show host when I use the word folks. (Oh, and you will come to find that many of my posts come from a completely random thought out of my utterly blank mind.)


The most played song on my iPod is...Just the Way You Are by ANTHEM LIGHTS not Bruno Mars. My all-time favorite song is Just the Way You Are, and that never changes, though I do have what I call a “running favorite” which is just whatever song I happen to be obsessed with at any particular time. Right now that is Dancing in the Rain by Shane Harper.  Suuuuper cute and fun to dance to! Most of the top 10 on my iPod are Anthem Lights’ songs, but…*cough* *cough* the second one *ahem* is…*gasp* Pray by Justin Bieber.  I KNOW but it hasn’t been played on my computer since November of 2013!!! I swear it! And really, that was the only song by him that I ever liked. He is, in my mind, a very lost child. Yeah I don’t even know what that means.


Anyway, my favorite artists are as follows: (not in any particular order except the first one)



Anthem Lights -love love love love And I got to meet them in real actual life! Excuse me for a moment while I fangirl…”I got to touch Alan, Chad, Caleb and Joey and I have a signed notebook from them and it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING” I agree with you…that first part is kinda on the creepy side…but hey. I don’t “fangirl” often. They have two albums of covers and they’re working on a third. Not to mention their fan-stinkin-tastic two original albums.



 Britt Nicole - Also saw her live.



Fireflight - Much harder band than the first two I mentioned, but very catchy and awesome, meaningful lyrics.



Owl City - Okay you are cray-cray if you don’t like Owl City. Let’s just get that out there. Adam Young is super talented is he not? That man has quite an interesting mind I must say.



Royal Tailor - My favorite song by them is Love Song. How weird is it that he can sing higher than I can? And it sounds fantastic.



Manafest - I don’t know the guy’s real name but I should probably figure it out…haha! I frequently get into a rap mood and this is exactly the kind of stuff I like to listen to. He is a Christian and his lyrics are really deep. The best song In my opinion is Every Time You Run because it makes me remember that God is always with me. No matter what happens and how much trouble I get into.  And that would be a lot of trouble.



Flyleaf - ahhhhh way good stuff y’all



Cimorelli – mostly, I think, they have songs on YouTube. Covers. But they are six sisters who have angelic voices and harmonies, and really cute outfits!!




Daughtry – Okay, Chris Daughtry goes to my cousin’s church. AHHHHHHHHH so cool



           Other Artist I don’t feel like underlining and talking a lot about because I am lazy and my computer keyboard stinks:


Fee, Building 429, Capital Kings, Kelly Clarkson, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, The Fray, Manic Drive, The Piano Guys, Red, Shane Harper, 1 Girl Nation, Sidewalk Prophets, MercyMe


That’s not nearly all of the artists I have. I have one hundred and sixty-eight artists on my iPod. I know that to a lot of you that probably doesn’t equal half of the artists that you have…but to me and my cute little iPod nano it is a LOT! I never know what to choose! First world problem right there y’all. 


            As for favorite songs, here are some of my top picks (and not saying all the artists cuz that takes way too long to type) : Your Love is Better than Life, Every Time You Run, Gold, Fight Forever, That’s What I’m Looking For, Ready or Not, Human, All of Me, Dancing in the Rain, Give it Up, Boomerang, Barefoot Blue Jean Night, This is How We Roll, 19 You + Me, Courtesy Call, The Trouble With Girls, Skyscraper, Brand New Day, Ignite, Made in America and In a World Like This. 


             Hopefully this wasn’t the most boring thing you’ve ever read…though it probably came close. If there are any songs or artists I mentioned that you haven’t listened to or heard of before I would highly recommend them all. I would also love to hear about any other really good (preferably Christian) artists that I didn’t mention so let me know if you have a different favorite!  XO Charlotte
