Music Monday

i'm still here.  aren't you proud?

let's get right to it:

5 - lissie - everywhere i go

4 - ed sheeran & passenger - thrift shop & no diggity (cover mashup)




3 - vv brown - shark in the water
this one has a very spring break sound.  i like that about it.



2 - solange - losing you
she's more than just beyonce's little sister and a fashion icon.




1 - imagine dragons - radioactive
i know.  it's not new.  imagine dragons are really beginning to pick up steam with "it's time" though, and i just want to point out how much better this song is than that one.  i'm not really so sure what's happening in the video though.




i've made it to week 2 of being back.  sorry to post this late, but i'll work on doing better.

cheers!

Music Monday!!

i have gotten so many wonderful suggestions for music in the past week that i can only fit a couple into this post.  the good news is that means i have much to fill the coming weeks' posts with though, so yay!

(that is assuming that there are posts in the coming weeks -- with the due date quickly approaching, that's questionable.)

let's not waste time though.  here are this week's jams.

5 - ed sheeran - the class a team
this is a sad song.  some of my facebook friends are confused about that, but really it is about a crack whore (essentially), so not something you should compare to your life most likely.  still, it's just a beautiful song, and i love ed sheeran, so here you go.




4 - birdy - 1901 (phoenix cover)
if you haven't noticed, i've been trying to use the four spot on the list for a cover each week.  i do this for two  reasons - 1) i like covers (see earlier posts on just covers for details) 2) i think covers are good ways to get acquainted with new artists because it shows both their talents and some of their influences.

so, i was watching conan the other night, and birdy came on.  she was singing her single, "skinny love," but i decided to look her up, and i found her cover of 1901, and loved it.  enjoy!




3 - allen stone - unaware
i watched the espys.  and the preshow.  it's always such an awkward awards show.  rob riggle got a lot of negative feedback, but i thought he was okay, not great, but there were points when i was lolling.  during the preshow though, i got introduced to the magic of allen stone.  what a voice.




2 - grace potter and the nocturnals - never go back
this is not the first grace potter post.  it probably won't be the last.  also, i'm not sure i know what's happening in this music video.  please inform me.




1 - the lumineers - ho hey
my first exposure to this one was on the vh1 countdown this past weekend, and i was into it.  then, someone recommended it, so i knew it had to go in to this week's blog.


i hope you enjoyed this week's list.  there's a lot of great stuff coming soon.  if you have more recommendations, please feel free to post in the comments, and, as always, cheers!
