This one was introduced to me by my friend, Matt, a couple months ago. I love the acoustic, singer-song writer quality to this song. Their other songs on their album, Islands, reminds me a bit of a mellow-er, acoustic version of Bastille.

Do I Wanna Know?- Arctic MonkeysI'm not quite sure how to describe Arctic Monkeys, other than their music reminds me of people with leather jackets and dark sunglasses, looking very cool. Their music is different from what I usually listen to, but I really enjoy the bass guitar that is heavily featured in their songs.
Ha! I'm going to interpret this as a song for each season because I can't pick just one season! Summer: One Night- Matthew KomaFall: Fair- Remy ZeroWinter: In My Veins- Andrew BelleSpring: Rainy Zurich- The FrayVenus- Sleeping at LastThe night sky once ruled my imagination. Now I turn the dials with careful calculation. After a while, I thought I’d never find you. I convinced myself that I would never find you, When suddenly I saw you. At first I thought you were a constellation. I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation: You’re as beautiful as endless, You’re the universe I’m helpless in. An astronomer at my best When I throw away the measurements. I love poems and songs that use references to astronomy; I find the comparisons to be beautiful, that something that is so scientific and exact can be compared to the immeasurable human experiences of love and discovery. Sleeping at Last has a whole series of songs dedicated to the planets in our solar system, all available on Youtube.
Shut Up and Dance- Walk the MoonJust as the title suggests, it's fun to dance to! This one has gotten on the radio and I always turn it up whenever it comes on. I've also noticed this band getting some recognition; I discovered them a couple years ago when they came out with "Anna Sun" and they've been getting more and more attention.
Best Song Ever- One DirectionI almost picked Taylor Swift, but then, I decided that I love Taylor Swift and I absolutely do not feel guilty that I like her. So, I went with One Direction because they are catchy and fun, and yeah, I do have a favourite band member picked out, but I'm not going to say who it is (it's not Harry). Also, I really enjoy the music video for this one (but Vevo won't let me repost on here).
Classic- MKTOThis song is fun is so much fun and upbeat! I have been playing it constantly for almost a year now and I still haven't gotten tired of it yet! It's a great cheer-up song for those sunny days when I just want to dance!
So, I've been having so much fun doing my 30-Day Book Challenge that I decided to do a music challenge as well. Hopefully, this will introduce whoever's reading to some new and fantastic music!

About“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
