Day 7: Your 5 Favorite Songs

Hmm... another hard one. I've never really been one for a favorite song. I have favorite songs at the time, where I am in love with a song for a while, but not really any of all time.

I guess some that stand out are:

1. Savage Garden, I Knew I Loved You
I remember when this song came out. I listened to it over and over and over. I knew I wanted to use it as the first dance song at my wedding. While everyone else was obsessed with Truly, Madly, Deeply, I was obsessed with this.


2. Jason Mraz, The Remedy
I have loved Jason Mraz since this album came out. I remember buying it, and playing it in the rental car while with my dad when we visited my aunt and family. Luckily my dad doesn't mind all the crazy things I do, and was willing to listen with me. I still think its a great reminder to not worry about things and to let loose. Its also one of my favorites to sing along to!

3. Fun. Some Nights
I love this song. I rocked out in my car a hundred times to this song. Booger knows that when this song comes on, its "mommys song". The craziest part of this song is how your perception of it changes after you see the video. I also love dancing around the house to this. Many, many times. I so wish they would come out with another album.

4. Imagine Dragons, On Top of the World
Such a fun, happy song (see a pattern?) The best thing about this song is when I saw them play it live in concert last year (June, 2015). I went with my BFF. It was monsooning outside, literally ocean waves coming down on my car. It was also the night of the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup final game. The concert started, Imagine Dragons played songs from their newest album, Smoke and Mirrors. Then they started a ballad. A slow, steady, heartfelt ballad. When all of the sudden, a loud rousing cheer began to spread through the stadium-- not a normal cheer for a slow song. Everyone was on their phones in a second as the cheer got louder and louder and louder-- the Hawks won the Cup!! The band was so confused, they stopped playing. The lead singer bent down to ask a dude in the front what was going on. The guy placed a Hawks hat on him and told him they won. The singer announced it to the crowd to more whoops and hollers. Then the band left the stage, gave us our time to celebrate and came back out a few minutes later. They said they weren't going to do this song, but it felt like the right time to do so-- and started in with On Top of the World. It was perfect. The rest of the concert was amazing as well.

5. Gavin Degraw, I Don't Want to Be
This was the theme song to one of my favorite TV shows ever-- One Tree Hill. It introduced me to Gavin Degraw, who I now love, love, love. I also went to one of his concerts with my BFF :-P All of his albums are amazing. Not to mention, hes super cute and awesome. I'm so upset he doesn't have any dates in the Chicago area for his new tour with Andy Grammar...

So there you have it-- my top 5 favorite songs (currently, at least!)
