On the quest to figure out how to create the perfect mix of music, I decided to start simply, and with the songs I can't get out of my head right now! My October playlist seems to be very telling of the geographical location I was born and raised in. October is around the time I start feeling homesick; football is in full gear- and I am unable to attend the games, I start missing my family and friends, and it is still beach weather at home! It is also the month I get to make my first trip home for the school year. I have gone home every year since I moved to New York to spend my birthday with my family, friends, and my best friend, who is three days older than me! I must have home on the brain... and I really like this music! Hope you enjoy!
Song: Two Step
Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Album: Crash
At the end of December, I went to a Dave Matthews Band concert. It was not my first DMB show, but it was absolutely my favorite. It was a beautiful, cool, September night on Governor's Island with a good friend. Since that concert, I have not been able to get enough Dave! This song, I have very recently gotten into. What first grabbed my attention was it’s really unique sound. The sound is very Dave Matthews Band, but it has a catchy beat. Then I began listening to the lyrics, and I may have myself I new addition to my Top 10 Favorite Songs of All Time list...
Song: Love On Top
Artist: Beyonce
Album: 4
I have always liked Beyonce. I have a few of her songs in my iTunes library, and I love to hear her on the radio. However, I have never truly gotten on the Beyonce train like man people I know. That is until I saw her perform this song, on VMAs, pregnant. She recruiter herself a new fan in me. She looked beautiful and glowing, and this song is so much fun! I cannot get it out of my head.
Song: Something to Lose
Artist: Corey Smith
Album: Broken Record
Corey Smith is a small act, from Georgia. I hesitate to label him as country music, my personal label is “Frat boy music,” but if I am being honest, it’s country. He is big in the southeastern college scene. However, this song is nastalgic for me. It reminds me of a very particular, short span of time, during my freshman year of college, which I spent in Tallahassee, Florida, and I have been traveling down memory lane lately.
Song: Where the Boat Leaves From
Artist: Zac Brown Band
Album: The Foundation
Another Georgia boy. Possibly also categorized under “Country Music.” My personal categorization would be beach party music. Jimmy Buffet-esqu. I will be seeing Zac Brown Band at the end of this month, so I have been listening to him A LOT to get prepared! And with the tempature outside getting cooler, listening to him sing about days spent on the beach is very comforting. He will show up on this list again, for preparation purposes.. once with Jimmy Buffet!
Song: Grace is Gone
Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Album: Busted Stuff
Here Dave is again. I just cannot get enough of him right now! I am usually a live music girl. If there is a live version of a song, I would choose to listen to that version over the studio recording, except for this song. I have a live version of this song, which I absolutely love! However, the studio recording of this song is so well arranged and so beautiful. I just love it!
Song: I’ll Be Waiting
Artist: Adele
Album: 21
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Adele. I love her. I can’t get enough of her. She is incredible. Beautiful voice, GREAT songs, great album all together. There is no rhyme or reason why this song is stuck in my head, it just IS! Simple as that
Song: Knee Deep
Artist: Zac Brown Band (feat. Jimmy Buffet)
Album: You Get What You Give
Here they are, the two best guys to invite to your beach party (or just to make sure they are present on your beach party play list!). This song was constantly playing in my car this summer. With the concert coming up, it is back in rotation. “Knee deep in the water somewhere, got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair, only worry in the world, is the tide gonna reach my chair...” Enough said. Fun music.
Song: So Damn Lucky
Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Album: Some Devil
More Dave. Never too much Dave. Really beautiful, sweet song.
What songs can you not get enough of right now?
