21 Songs

Just a few more days before turning another year older, I find myself thinking about things I want to change and  happen in the next year. I have a lot of resolutions--like learn to play the guitar, originally a new year's resolution that I never really got to work on. As for the others, I won't go into detail anymore. Some are really kind of vague anyway. Only I understand them. Haha.

I've also come up with a playlist! Like I've always done for every occasion or event in my life that I find significant. And like I've always done, putting together all the songs I can't get enough of at a given point in time.  This I will share! The 21 songs I enjoy the most, those that really speak to (almost) 21 year old me:

1. Forever Young - Youth Group / but I've learned to love One Direction's cover

Youth is like diamonds in the sun. Diamonds are forever. // So many adventures couldn't happen today. So many songs we forgot to play. So many dreams swinging out of the blue. We let them come true.  

2. Dakota - Stereophonics

Drinking back, drinking for two. Drinking with you. When drinking was new 

3. Titanium - David Guetta feat. Sia / Sophie Griffin on The Voice UK

Fire away, fire away. You shoot me down, but I won't fall.

4. Higher Love - Tyler James on The Voice UK (originally by Steve Winwood)

Think about it, there must be a higher love. Down in the stars or written in the stars above. Without it, life is wasted time.

5. Every Teardrop is a Waterfall - Coldplay

 I turn the music up, I got my records on. I shut the world outside until the lights come on. Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone. I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song.

6. Don't Let it Break Your Heart - Coldplay

When you're tired of waiting so you just find that you never had to stop. Come on baby, don't let it break your heart.

7. The Age of Worry - John Mayer

Alive in the age of worry, rage in the age of worry. Sing out in the age of worry, and say worry, why should I care? 

8. Home Life - John Mayer

I think I'm gonna stay home, have myself a home life.

9. Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer

I was the one you always dreamed of. You were the one I tried to draw.

10. Good Love is on the Way - John Mayer Trio

I know I'll be ok. Good love is on the way.

11. U.N.I - Ed Sheeran

Everything's great but everything's short.

12. Lego House - Ed Sheeran

Out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now. 

13. Abracadabra - Jessie J

You got my heart on lock, it's so unreal you know.

14. Domino - Jessie J

Make this dream the best I've ever known.

15. Science & Faith - The Script (my feel good, pick-me-up song any given day)

We're just trying to find some meaning in the things that we believe in.. // You can break everything down to chemicals, but you can't explain a love like ours.

16. Long Gone and Moved On - The Script

From this moment on, I'm changing the way I feel.

17. You Set Me Free - Michelle Branch

I wanted to fly so you gave me your wings.

18. Believe Me - Ellie Goulding

I can't stop this music traveling 'round with me wherever I go. // The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart beating for you.

19. This is Love - will.i.am feat. Eva Simons

Hell yeah!

21. You Found Me - The Fray

Just a little late, you found me.

22. Send It Up - Vertical Horizon

I'm alright, by the way. Everyone saves the day.
