JON BELLION. Heard
All Time Low like a million times way before I knew who sang it (love the acoustic version!). I was reading tweets about Twenty
Øne Pilots and I ended up on Jon's profile listening to his acoustic version of
Guillotine. Gawd I wish there was a full version of it. (skip to 13:40 if you're watching it now. Though looking at the process is awesome as well).
It blew my mind when I learned that Jon Bellion fronted for T
ØP on their ERS Tour in 2017. Jealous of all the people who went. UGH.
Glory Sound Prep was released in November last year. I honestly haven't listened to all of the songs yet.
😅
JB favorites are:
Guillotine, Maybe IDK and
Woke The F Up.
"Guillotine"
The secrets you tell me I'll take to my grave
There's bones in my closet but you hang stuff anyway
And if you have nightmares we'll dance on the bed
I know that you love me, love me
Even when I lose my head
SIA. We've all heard of
Titanium, Chandelier, Elastic Heart and
Cheap Thrills. I knew that she has a great voice but I never really bothered to listen to her other songs. It was until I watched her in James Corden's
Carpool Karaoke. So when I started to run again I'd have a lot of "screw it, this is the last time Im running" moments- I hate doing cardio especially running
🙄 Listening to her other songs just gave me that push that I needed to finish strong. And I bet you know which songs I'm talking about -
Alive, Greatest, and
Unstoppable. Love it especially how I'm out of breathe and all that jazz then I hear her sing
I'm still breathing, I'm alive; Running out of breath but I got stamina; and
I'm a Porsche with no breaks (Though in reality I got a turtle's pace. Sorry, turtles. No offense.)
😅
But aside from those songs, love these as well:
Bird Set Free, Soon We'll Be Found and
We Can Hurt Together.
"Soon We'll Be Found"
Lets not fight I'm tired can we just sleep tonight
Turn away its just there's nothing left here to say
Turn around I know were lost but soon we'll be found
"We Can Hurt Together"
There ain't nothing you can say that can scare me away
I've got history too and its never too late
To share a secret today, I'll reciprocate
Baby, I got you
I've been where you've been
I've seen what you've seen
So hurt with me, we can hurt together
ANDY GRAMMER. Been hearing
Fresh Eyes for a long time but I never knew who the artist was. I don't know why but I only knew of Andy Grammer a few weeks ago. Now I have
Always on repeat on my car ❤️ Such an underrated artist, but I do hope that he gets the spotlight that he deserves.
Its also very timely that
Megan Batoon (she's an amazing dancer/youtuber/person! If you haven't heard of her yet, check her channel out) made a choreography to
The Good Parts last week
. A brilliant one as always.
My favorites are:
Always, Spaceship, and
Working On It
"Working On It"
You know we're just working on it
No leaderboard keeping score
Long as you woke up this morning
And see you're working on it
It might be taking forever, but it's better than ever
JASON MRAZ. I was ecstatic when I found out that Jason made his Broadway debut as Dr. Pommater in
Waitress! I haven't seen the musical yet but I have heard all of the songs in it because of the musical genius Sara Bareilles. Dreaming for the day that I could watch the show. Back to Mraz... I am all about the
Know album, which was released August last year. 2018 produced a lot of good albums, right? The first song I heard off of this album is
Unlonely and I have been hooked! I am so ready with my wedding playlist with Jason's songs ❤️ All I need is a groom hahahah
From past albums, my favorites are
Long Drive and
Love Someone. His live performance at the Mranch was so good! I would love to experience an intimate gig like that. For me, it was very reminiscent of Dashboard Confessional's MTV unplugged album.
No doubt, my favorite from the
Know album is
Let's See What The Night Can Do.
We can head North over the oceans of turquoise
And after a while there will be no noise
Except for the sound of our heartbeats beating on
GABRIELLE APLIN. Stumbled upon this artist 2 months ago again. Went through something painful in November and drenched myself in Gabrielle's
Stay. 2018 was a year where I had to decide to let go of toxic things that were once important, but recently became more of a baggage. No matter how much you would want and try to change the situation, eventually you will need to make up your mind so you can be free of unnecessary drama and have a peaceful heart. Wow, felt a little bit of pinch there
😅
Going back to Gabrielle
😅 I've always thought that she was Australian. I only knew that she was British recently when I googled the lyrics of
Stay. Been meaning to play this on the piano too and perhaps crush my heart with it while I'm PMSing. I sense it coming. hahahah
My favorites are:
Home, Please Dont Say You Love Me, and of course
Stay.
"Stay"
You can stay in the past
You can live a lie
Say I've change, call me cold
Call me what you like
And never know what its like on the other side
MICHL. Love love love his EP! I knew about this artist because of the very talented Sean Lew ❤️
My favorite is
Die Trying.
We're in over our heads
We're holding our breath
Will we ever get to the other side
Before there's nothing left
Yeah our bodies are weak
We're tired of hurting
Will we ever get to the other side
Don't know, but I swear, I'll die trying
