A Song that You Want to Play at Your Wedding

Ben Folds - “The Luckiest”

I feel like the biggest idiot that I did not play this at my wedding. Missed Opportunity!

A Song That You Listen to When You Are Sad

The Airborne Toxic Event - “Innocence”

I think that this song (and almost all the songs on their self-titled album) is pretty gut wrenching. The part that always gets me:

And this light from the window of my car
She’ll never see it
Oh my God
I was so surprised
It blew up in my face
But I lost my nerve
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God

A Song that You Listen to When You Are Happy

The Beatles - “Here Comes the Sun”

This one of my favorite Beatles songs. It can automatically brighten my mood! :)

A Song that You Listen to When You Are Angry

Foo Fighters - “The Pretender”

Another day, another Foo song. This song is very angsty which I love. When the drums come in, it is like “AWWWWWWW FUCK YEAH!” Also, the bridge is great: “So who are you?! Yeah, who are you?!” So good.

A Song From Your Favorite Album

The Killers - “Read My Mind”

The Killers are one of my favorite bands. If we are talking their best album, most people would say Hot Fuss, but not me! Sam’s Town is their best from beginning to end. Love that album so much. It may not be my favorite album, but it is defintely in the top 5 favorite albums. I don’t have the heart to rank them. On that album, this song stands out as the choice jam.

A Song that You Wish You Heard on the Radio

Dead Man’s Bones - “Flowers Grow Out of My Grave”

If you don’t know, Dead Man’s Bones is Ryan Gosling’s band with Zack Shields, and they are fucking AMAZING! This song is one of my favorite songs on their self-titled album. It is very different and fun which means you would never hear it on the radio.

A Song You Hear Often on the Radio

Gomez - “Airstream Driver”

I don’t listen to the radio a lot, but when I do, it is usually the local college station. I have heard this song so many times on that station. I won’t complain though because I like it.

A Song that You Used to Love but Now Hate

Alanis Morissette - “Hand in My Pocket”

Jagged Little Pill was the first CD I ever bought, way back in 1995. This song was my favorite song on the album. Being a 9 year old, I played this song over and over and over and over…Eventually, I played it so much that I began to loathe it. I don’t so much hate the song now, but it remains one of my least favorite songs on that album.

A Song that Describes You

Flying Lizzards - Money (That’s What I Want)

I think this is self-explanatory. I want to be rich, dammit!

A Song That No One Would Expect You to Love

Lady Gaga - “Paparazzi”

I don’t really know what songs people would expect to me to like? I mean, I think I have a pretty wide range of music that I enjoy. I don’t really listen to Top 40 though and since Lady Gaga is Top 40, I went with her. I actually really like this song. It’s super catchy, you guys. So there’s that.
