September [ Musings & Playlist ]

 

It's that time of year again... back to school, crisp air, and the leaves changing. Most people think the beginning of the New Year is the time for making changes, but for myself it has always been September. I've been making some changes in my life here and there. My grandfather passed away almost two weeks ago and so I have been home spending time with my father and grandmother. Helping out at the family store and planning on growing my own business (more of that soon!) It's hard because I'm about 3 hours away from my significant other, but it sure doesn't beat living abroad back in the Fall of 2011 (picture above is fall at Versailles).

 

Now for the playlist.. some popular songs, some off the radar, every single one is equally addicting :)

 

Shake It Off - Taylor Swift

Black Widow - Iggy Azalea ft. Rita Ora

Hands In the Air - Miley Cyrus ft. Ludacris

Strip Me - Natasha Bedingfield

Glory and Gore - Lorde

Best I Ever Had - Gavin DeGraw

Supernova - Mr. Hudson & Kanye West

August Playlist

When I was little, August always meant that it was one month closer to school, new clothes for school, and my birthday.  A fresh start if you will in September (another year older, new grade and new clothes). So even though the last playlist I featured was only about 3 weeks ago, I feel the new month needs some fresh, new songs. I have been browsing through Spotify and all of these songs sound a little cheeky and playful, the personification of August.

West Coast - Coconut Records

Hymnals - Grizfolk

Jungle - X Ambassadors, Jamie N Commons

Lake Michigan - Rogue Wave

Luck - American Authors

Dirty Paws - Of Monsters and Men 

Anything - Hedley

Young Chasers - Circa Waves

Bad Habit - The Kooks

Secrets - Mary Lambert

Warped Tour 2014 + Summer Playlist

A couple weeks ago, I went to Warped Tour in Buffalo for the second time. Most of it was to see nostalgic bands that I haven't listened to since 2005-2006 + to catch up on some current favorites. It was myself and 3 other guys, including the beau, & even though it felt like we were caught in a hurricane, we made the most of the day. 

Warped Tour kinda kicked off my hunt for some good summer tunes and in turn I have compiled a playlist of sorts for the rest of the summer. Hope you enjoy!

Cool Kids - Echosmith

Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran

All The Way - Timeflies

And We Danced (feat. Ziggy Stardust) - Macklemore

Stay With Me - Sam Smith

Buzzcut Season - Lorde

Light Me Up - Birdy

Maps - Maroon 5

A Sky Full Of Stars - Coldplay

Ain't It Fun - Paramore

When You Were Young - The Killers

California (Tchad Blake Mix) - Phantom Planet
