Spirited Away - One Summer's Day

Image
     It is the OST of the famed Japanese animated movie, Spirited Away. Though this song has only instrumental sounds, you can feel and understand it by its hummings. There is a magical and mystical feel grasp in it. I loved the movie and I have the exact same feeling for this piece. This is One Summer's Day .

The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition

Image
     This song is barely noisy, on the edge anyways. Just like the time spent in balancing between the ounces of sugar and tea. You can basically wander away with your thoughts in this. Perfect for when you are visiting a new place. Could be your new apartment, a new dream or a foreign country. The whole song is truly a joy to listen to. This is Sweet Disposition .

Ed Sheeran - Skinny Love

Image
     Yes, this is another song from Ed Sheeran. A cover, actually. You are all probably sick of him by now, but heck, if it wasn't good I wouldn't even be posting this. Bear with me. The original singer is Bon Iver. Listen to Ed sing a different song such as this one. He adapts so well with that high husky voice of his. The three best covers for this song in my opinion is from Bon Iver himself, Ed Sheeran and Cameron Mitchelle. This is Skinny Love .

King Harvest- Dancing In The Moonlight (Toploader Version)

Image
Literally grew up listening to this song on the radio, and even now it still gives me goosebumps and just makes me want to dance it all out. Embarrassing but if a song this happy gives the audience the want to do just that, how bad can it be? This is Toploader's version of the 1972 electro-pop-rock track,  Dancing In The Moonlight .

All Time Low- Therapy

Image
If you have not heard of this amazing band at all, I reckon you've been living under a rock this whole time and you should probably just crawl back and not listen to this eargasmic masterpiece. This amazing band has a similar genre to The Maine and You Me At Six so it'll give you a sense of what to expect. This track is a bit slow though compared to the usual upbeat songs they produce, but it slowly builds up and just like the rest, it'd have you singing your heart out in no time.

AWOLNATION- Sail

Image
Kind of quiet + kind of loud. This song should represent how it feels like to be in the mind of someone who suffers from ADD or ADHD. Or just someone who is feeling very bitter or angry about feeling like an outcast. It may not be how you'd think it should be but that's the whole point.

Sum 41 - The Hell Song

Image
     Here's an introduction to Sum 41. An extremely good band, whose music are nice to hear and their messages are of good-nature. Their tunes are also often the translation and summary of lives, making it easily understandable. This is The Hell Song . Caution: Addiction is unavoidable.

AC/DC - TNT

Image
     A tribute to all the PS1 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4' fans out there. The game came out in the year 2002. Grinding those boards for hours with this tune in the background is often a childhood memory for most. The music track of the game is the more interesting part of the whole thing. Back then, these songs were gold. Nobody had a MP3 back then, so we'd just turn on the game just to listen to the tracks. You can almost guess the age of this song, as they had 'colored t.v. screens' as a part of the lyrics. Ancient. This is TNT from AC/DC. Download URL: TNT download (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Image
     A legendary song from a legendary band, what more could you ask for? The Queen is often synonymous with this single. By the time it was released, it was the most expensive single ever produced. What a beautiful song. This is Bohemian Rhapsody . Download URL: Bohemian Rhapsody (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Freelance Whales- Kilojoules

Image
Physics doesn't have anything to do with this song, that's all I can say. You can probably check out their other song called Enzymes if you're curious but I'm not entirely sure it would be as easy to listen to as this one. This is  Kilojoules by Freelance Whales Download URL:  Kilojoules by Freelance Whales (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Zach Sobiech

Image
     Started out good, ended great. Like coffee stains, it's nearly impossible. Nearly impossible to not love this song. Sometimes, all we need is a song that reminds us to always be grateful for all that we have. A guy called Zach Sobiech wrote a song with that alongside his conscience. This was soon after he was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. He died a year later. The song is called Clouds . Download URL: Clouds download (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

Image
     If I was asked which song represented my childhood most, I would definitely scream this one. Those young, innocent and invincible days. You could do whatever you felt like. Back then, I had such a vivid and lively imagination. I would never let a day pass without a laugh or smile. This song just won't stop reminding me of those special Christmas days enjoyed with my family. You'd be enjoying a slice of turkey, sneakily drinking some watered-down wine and laughing along with the rest of them. It's sad that we rarely do that anymore, ever since my aunt moved back to Canada. Now it is all so dull and gray. Maybe I should have been more grateful back then. Maybe we all should. This song is Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now . Download URL: Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now download (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Ylvis - The Fox

Image
     It is only because of the sole fact that this is such an amazing song, that I can say just that with a straight face. Listen and write out the track's deep and meaningful lyrics until you finished the world's supply of pens, pencils and inks. And maybe, just maybe then, will your tiny mind comprehend a fraction of the depth of vast emotions that are readily available within it. This song is a game within it self. To claim that you are capable of solving it, will only lead you to be assumed as a bluff. This is The Fox by Ylvis! Don't take me seriously, guys.

The Vamps- Can We Dance

Image
Hopefully not just another typical boy band, this English pop-rock group was formed in the year 2012 and recently released their first single which is, obviously  Can We Dance . Depends on your point of view but I honestly actually enjoyed it. Perfect for party-mixes, really catchy like it should be, and the background instrumental placements add a surprisingly nice touch to it.

Eva Cassidy - Fields Of Gold

Image
     Ancient? Yes, and so is your mom. Yet, you still love her. A timeless masterpiece on its own, sung by an extraordinary person, who is no longer living. Isolating her voice would meant that she had to do more than just sing, she had to voice out as she did, so as to drown out the silent background. Ironic, isn't it? It cues peace into wherever it is required. This track is Fields of Gold . Download URL: Fields Of Gold download ((P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Walk The Moon - Anna Sun

Image
Reminiscent of summer, and impulsive actions, and booze and having fun wherever with whoever, and all doing this while the bodily senses are dulled. Well put together and I wouldn't bother trying to analyze the lyrics because they don't make sense at all. Give it a chance and listen to  Anna Sun by Walk The Moon

Dave Matthews Band - Mercy

Image
     Here is a twenty-two year old band, telling us that it's all about us. About us loving and caring for each other. About not turning a blind eye on what's wrong around us. That's the song's one simple message. Dave's matured voice suits the song perfectly, making it great even without a chorus. This lovely lullaby is Mercy .

Ed Sheeran Ft. Passenger - No diggity/Thrift Shop

Image
     Ed Sheeran. Amazing. Passenger. Good. Now add that up, it's amazingly good. In this song you will notice how deep and rough Ed's voice is, in comparison to Passenger's. Notice that Ed has a much larger vocal range. It's sorta like acapella, done with only two boys. It isn't easy, but they made it look so effortless. Smooth as hell, guys. This a mix of ' No diggity/Thift shop '.

Icona Pop - I Love It

Image
     It seems to remind me of the nineties for some reason. Best years of my life, pooping in my pants like it wasn't anyone's business. And yes, this song is somewhat different from the rest, it has more beats and bass. I don't usually listen to mixes like this, but there is just an element of attraction to it. This song from Icona Pop is called I Love It . Download URL: I Love It download (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

The 1975- Chocolate

Image
Also heard this song on the same mix on the earlier post. In this song, you can't exactly hear what they're saying most of the time because their accents jumble up everything. A must have on any long day trip to anywhere. This is Chocolate . Download URL: Chocolate download (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Parachute - Forever And Always

Image
This band originally started off with the name Sparky's Flaw but later went on to change it to Parachute instead. In my opinion, this band is probably one of the many underrated ones. First heard this song on an online mix cleverly named 'good vibes' and it's been reminding of a certain cute couple who recently got together ever since. Asides that, it's a little cheesy and has an adorable story line too. Parachute- Forever And Always   is a probably a whole lot different compared to the other songs on here, but nevertheless very enjoyable to sing to. (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Ed Sheeran - You Need Me I Don't Need You

Image
     No one can make a beat this sick and end it with just a 'cool'. That's just insane. It's no surprise that Ed Sheeran could, cause he ain't just anybody. The best version of this song is when he sings it at the 'Live Room'. Most people won't like it at first, saying it's too long, too repetitive, but just hear it out 'til the end. It will be your best 11 minutes spent as Ed sings about his previous label, which is just rubbish, telling him to dye off his orange head. In this tune, you can watch him do his magic with his loop station, rap, beatbox and show off his magnificent voice. According to him, this song is an on going thing, meaning it could one day, go up to an hour long as he writes on. This is You Need Me I Don't Need You .

Eric Dill - War With The Wolves

Image
      Just as he reached the peak of the music world, he abruptly decided to leave ClickFive. He was replaced by an equally talented, Kyle Patrick. The boys in tuxedos never tasted the same level of success ever again though. Now a solo artist with a longer fringe, Eric Dill is fantastic in War With The Wolves .

Matisyahu - One Day

Image
     If you take a hard look at life, you will notice a string of patterns. We hate on someone. Someone hates back at us. And everyday until it is resolved, our actions are often the product of our anger. So, unless you're perfect, with your shoe lace always in a knot, don't judge other people's flaws. Our next song is one that has the same meaning as the former. This is One Day . Download URL: One Day download (P.S: Right-click and select 'save link)

( City High COVER) Bastille - What Would You Do?

Image
     This song is just so catchy and real. It shows suffering. Though it may not be his song, he sings it like it is. Personally, I think Bastille had stolen the song. It will never ever again be seen as one of City High's, now it will forever be Bastille's. This song is What Would You Do?

Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World

Image
     If today was just a gloom with you feeling a piece missing, then this is one tune that has the most chance of cheering you up. Go ahead, imagine dragons and rainbows and shit, you'll feel much better. This is On Top Of The World . Download URL: On Top Of The World download (P.S: Right-click and select 'save link)

Anberlin - 'True Faith' and 'Feel Good Drag'

Image
     I couldn't decide between two songs for this post, so I will just upload both of them. Hence, I declare every Sunday as double song day. Great. The next two songs will be from Anberlin. Their songs always have those feel good sensations rooted in them. You might be walking through your living room feeling like a Transformer star, once the chorus comes up. They are really good, like seriously, have a hear. They are  True Faith and  Feel Good Drag .
