Heartbeat maintenance

I don't think my heart would know how to keep consistently beating day after day without music. It serves as a metronome to my heart, and these songs are what keeps my blood pumping, my vessels intact, what plays through certain instances in my life. These songs say everything my heart can't, basically. Be sure to listen to a couple of these.

The Messenger- Linkin Park

This song is for those moments when you need to scream about everything and just purge your emotions- I highly recommend it every once in a while

On Melancholy Hill- Gorillaz

I listen to this when a good night is reluctantly coming to an end, and I'm driving along a long stretch of highway. Kind of sums everything up.

Look What You've Done- Jet

Every time I hear this song my heart throbs. This one is a tribute to sweltering summer days, salt stinging our eyes, lethal sunburns that set our skin on fire, and every other physical pain that makes the beach worth it. 

Baby I'm Yours- Arctic Monkeys

Obviously I had to put one love song in the mix. Not sure if this kind of dedication still exists, but I like to dream about it.

21 guns- Green Day

First song I loved by this band, and it's the kind of tune that motivates me to get up in the morning.



Violet Hill- Coldplay

The bridge of this song leaves me speechless. Really anything by Coldplay strikes the core.

Semi-Charmed Life- Third Eye Blind

These types of upbeat songs I usually run or play soccer to.

Misery Business- Paramore

When everything is working out (which of course is pretty rare), and you kinda just need to sing about it.

Smells Like Teen Spirit- Nirvana

Kickin it back to the 90's, this song themes my rebellion, whenever I make stupid decisions on my own accord, knowing the risk I'm taking because "I'm only a teenager once". Here's to climbing the roof of  LP, sneaking onto the catwalk, nearly getting suspended, sabotaging band performances, pulling pranks, skinny dipping, causing a ruckus, etc.

Missing You- All Time Low

This song triggers tears. I heard it after a recent suicide and it made everything a little brighter. If you ever even reconsider the value of your life, listen to this. 

Gold On The Ceiling- The Black Keys

We sang along to this on our way to prom. Try to resist doing air guitar to the chorus. I dare you.

Polaroid- Imagine Dragons

Can't hear this one enough. 

Northern Downpour- Panic! At The Disco

This is mud puddles and flooded pipes, broken umbrellas and sidewalk earth worms. Just your typical rainy weather song. 

Creepin Up The Backstairs- The Fratellis

Here's to sneaking out well past curfew...

Talk! - The 1975

When I get sick of listening to people, of interrogations and relentless conversation, and I'd rather be an introvert in the remedial silence of my bedroom.

Painting Flowers- All Time Low

Same band, completely different sound. I like to blast this song up in my attic past midnight while the world sleeps. It changes my perception of things, and inspires me.

Car Radio- Twenty One Pilots

Mhmm. Do I even need to explain this?

Drop The Game- Flume

This is too catchy, I'm obligated to put it on the list.

All These Things I've Done- The Killers

Okay, final song since it's getting late and this list is getting long. The lyrics to this get me every time. Got soul, but you're not a soldier? You should hear this. 

Those are just a few of my favorite songs, hope you like them
