Emily's Music Monday || 06-15-2015

     Andrew has handed over Music Monday to me this week! Even though over the past couple days I've been having trouble coming up with what this playlist should be about, I decided I should just keep it simple and compile a bunch of songs that just make me happy. It seriously doesn't matter what mood I'm in, the unconventional stylings of these songs never fail to put a smile on my face and have me yell "Turn it up!" while cruising in the car with my friends. Now as Andrew would say, grab your headphones or plug in the AUX and enjoy.

Music Monday || 06-08-2015

     As you may have noticed we live in a generation that is consumed with nostalgia. Which is why for this week's Music Monday I looked to create a setlist that is strictly 90's. I think we like to look back on previous decades because authentic and raw music was best created during these times. No Doubt's "Don't Speak" is a perfect example of an authentic 90s track. Clearly this song is describing two individuals' underlying problems that cause them to drift apart. This song is extremely transparent to me because regardless of what type of relationship we may have with someone, in certain cases it is inevitable that the two will drift part. A lot of times we have trouble facing this reality and tend to subdue it into the back of our minds. Onto a less depressing note, I believe that Daft Punk's "Around The World" is infused with a techno flare, that is evident in a lot of todays chart-topping songs. For a song that is composed of only 3 lyrics, you can't deny that this song sounds as if it could have been produced today, and could truly stand for itself on this track list. Now that I've put my two cents in.. Grab your headphones or plug in the AUX and enjoy. 

Until Next Time...

Music Monday || 6-1-2015

     Lately, I have been feeling that my life has being lacking a sense of spontaneity. Therefore this week's Music Monday features tracks that radiate the feeling of Wanderlust. A lot of times in busy seasons of life, we tend to neglect the opportunities we are faced with to binge watch Netflix or get just a few more hours of sleep. I am slowly coming to the realization that in just a few short months I will no longer being seeing every single one of my friends on a daily basis. Which is why the following set-list inspires me to truly make the most out of every moment, versus watching my life float by.  Now getting to my point; Stay out later than you normally would and take advantage of the moments you're given because they are only temporary. So grab your headphones or plug in the AUX and do something out of your comfort zone.

Until Next Time..
