May Playlist

Hi Hello

Something that you may not know about me, or maybe you do I don't know, is that I am a huge music person. I am going to school to be a music manager because I love it so much but have no real talent to be an artist. *reflects on my talentless life* Moving on....

Since I'm always listening to music and sitting on the internet discovering new bands and such things...I have decided to make a monthly playlist of the songs that I have been listening to non stop. So lets get started....

To start off is a song by an up and coming band called 5 Seconds of Summer, who with their recent recognition from One Direction fans, are starting to build up a world wide fan base of their own and I'm absolutely loving their EP!

The song is called "Heartbreak On The Big Screen" and its just a song that I like to jam out to in the car and I always find myself turning on that song when I don't know what else to listen to. And, it helps that there is a part in the song where Luke's voice just makes me melt, the music slows down and his voice goes low and he does this little run with his voice and its just....you'll understand what I mean when you listen to it.

Next is a song by Fall Out Boy, a long time favorite band of mine, and although their new album has been out for over a year now, I am always listening to "The Phoenix" while I'm driving. I mean, put that song on while you drive and you automatically feel 10x more badass. Trust me. Just do it.

The third song on my May playlist is "Afraid" by The Neighbourhood. I honestly don't know what it is about this song, but I just love it. I like the melody and the all around vibe of the song and it just puts me into a mood and makes me feel very chill even though the lyrics would not suggest a "chill" vibe.

My fourth pick is a song by my favorite artist. This man is extremely talented and I don't think people realize exactly how talented he is. His fame hit the states with The A Team but I caught wind of him before then when he was just singing about Cold Coffee. And now he is selling out stadiums around the world and I have to say, a few years ago I got the opportunity to see him perform live and it was honestly the best show I've seen in my life. The man sounds better live than what he does in studio and that is something that you don't get anymore.

If you haven't guest it already, his name is Ed Sheeran and is song "Thinking Out Loud" is my fourth song off my playlist this month. The song is on his upcoming album X and although it is not released yet, he sang it live for a show and it instantly became my favorite song. Its simply a beautifully crafted song.

And finally, my last song on the playlist is a song that I'm pretty sure is not released in the states, but I heard it on a Spotify playlist with my friend Cherry and we loved it so much that it somewhat became our theme song for our friendship. Its not a serious song, its more of a fun, dance type song and we laugh every time we hear it come on our ipods. The song is called "Bonkers" and its by Dizzee Rascal and its just one of those songs that makes you wanna dance.

Well, there is my May playlist, I will link videos to these songs below so you can listen to them and hopefully understand my love for them and maybe they will become your new monthly jam.

If you have a song that you have been loving lately, post a comment and let me know! I will look up the songs that I don't know and maybe they will be in my next playlist??? But you don't have to...I'll live..

Until next time my misfits,
Stefanie
