COME TO ME
Jesse McCartney
I had to get Jesse in here somewhere. Last year I had a lot of favorite songs, just like this year. But this one? It was definitely in the top 10.

LARGER THAN LIFE
Backstreet Boys
Yes, I am a product of the 90's. I remember dancing to this when I was a kid, and I brought it out of the "vault" for a performance I did in junior high. Got second place, too! Definitely a larger than life moment for me. :)

COMING BACK DOWN
Hollywood Undead
I don't know why this song makes me feel so guilty. I mean, I really like it a lot. But for some reason I always feel like I've been a jerk to somebody and this is how they might feel. I dunno. I'm crazy.
Shontelle
This one? I definitely feel guilty because I feel like I've made some mistakes. I feel guilty and ashamed for the risks I took, especially when I knew I shouldn't have. It was, and remains, impossible. It's for the best, but it still kind of hurts sometimes.

ONLY EXCEPTION
Paramore
I was never interested in playing the guitar (or super interested, that is) until this song came out. I heard the acoustic version and now I just WISH I could learn it and play it. It'd be freakin' awesome!

WHAT I'VE DONE
Linkin Park
I can only play a little bit of this on the piano. I was messing around one day and realized that if I rearranged the order of the notes I was playing that they would turn into the intro for this song. It was great! I was definitely proud of myself. Too bad I got out of practice; I'm going to have to start over on this one.

STUCK LIKE GLUE
Sugarland
I can just imagine someday when I'm in a relationship or married or something, standing at the kitchen sink doing dishes or peeling potatoes. He comes home and knows he's in trouble with me, makes a face or does something really cute, and I can't help but laugh. That's what this song always makes me think of. I can't wait to be stuck with him forever!

HELLO WORLD
Lady Antebellum
Another odd one. I'm an odd person. This song has made me both laugh and cry, but it always reminds me to have hope in the future. It reminds me to have hope in the world. Perhaps it would remind people to have hope, no matter what happens. I'd like people to remember to hope. Without hope, we have nothing.

MY FUNNY FRIEND AND ME
Sting
I know, I know. An odd one to want to play at my wedding. But it kinda fits. After all, he'll probably be my best friend, you know? And hopefully, we'll make each other laugh a lot. As a wise person once told me, "Bonds are strengthened when you can laugh together." He's still wise.

BEAUTIFUL DISASTER
Jon McLaughlin
I don't remember how I was introduced to this song, but ever since then it has been one of my favorites. This is like the story of my life put to music. I guess it could have been used for the description post BUT I have a feeling I'd get in trouble with some people...so instead this is for the sad post.
The Band Perry
This is another song I listen to when I'm feeling down. Perhaps a tad morbid to have this as a favorite, but what can I say? It's got a lot of truth to it, and besides: the imagery in the lyrics? Beautiful.

CRUSH
David Archuleta
Darling David. His music just makes my heart smile, along with my face. Most of the time. There is HOPE in his music! Like this song.
The JaneDear Girls
Oh, yeah baby! I so would love to pretend for a day that I fit all of this description. Granted I'd probably have a lot more chores, but hey! It might be fun for a day!

THE WAY YOU LIE
The Band Perry
Oooo, sometimes you just want to kill something, don't you? Actually I don't think I'd even really want to kill something. Verbally attack, yes. Maybe backhand really hard (only done that once).

TO BE WITH YOU
David Archuleta
This song makes me act weird. I get all teary eyed while smiling like a maniac at the same time. Kind of like people do on their wedding days. ???

A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN
Selena Gomez
This song USED to be played on the radio. I don't know what happened to it. I kinda miss it. Thank heavens for youTube.
Justin Bieber
NO, I did NOT post these two songs together because Justin and Selena are allegedly dating. I just love NEVER SAY NEVER (and secretly, I adore Justin). This is another song I wish they'd play on the radio. Again, thanks for youTube.

PERFECT
P!nk
Yes, another clean version. I love this song! Every time it comes on the radio, it makes me happy and I turn it up! Plus I harmonize with it. It's pretty legit, not gonna lie. :) Honestly though, it has a pretty good message. Sometimes you have to remember that YOU are the only person who can be perfect at being you. YOU are perfect because you are YOU. Not because you look like a celebrity or sing like a celebrity or draw like Rembrandt or make billions like Bill Gates or anything like that. Each person possesses a beautiful uniqueness. Each person has beauty on the inside, and each person is perfect the way they are. Perfect in our imperfections.

Overplayed. Overrated. I'm so over this song.

I'LL TRY
Jonatha Brooke
Off of the PETER PAN II soundtrack, this song describes how I feel sometimes and the way I am. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe in anything. It's hard for me to remember the things I've been taught and all of the examples that I've been given. There is so much in this world that is hard for me to accept and to understand, much less believe in. However, I'm given plenty of reminders and lots of help to keep going. This new part of life, this new independence and time of decision making...I wouldn't get through it without my family and friends. They never give up on me, even when I doubt and fear. I'm so grateful for the people in my life who always help me and who love me, even when I'm stubborn or scared. Thank you so much! I love you all.
And a little PS: watch this if you need something to make you smile, cry, or remind you what a beautiful place we live in. Thanks to Erin for sharing it!

HIDE AND SEEK
Imogen Heap
I don't really know why I picked this song for this post. Maybe it's because I wanted to sneak it in here somewhere, and this is the place it seemed to fit the best. I love this song because each time you listen to it you can get something different out of it. The lyrics are like poetry that has to be read and thought about; one skim isn't enough to get all of it. It's different for every person. The harmonies themselves are so complex yet so simple that each time you listen it's like hearing a new song. At least that's how it is for me.

Another guilty pleasure. What girl doesn't secretly find that suave, devilishly clever, dangerously handsome man attractive? Haha...

YOU BELONG TO ME
Dean Martin
There are a lot of bands and artists that I love (as you've probably noticed). Deano though...man. This guy can SING! I mean, how romantic is this? Take a listen.
