music.

I have always loved music. The last few years I have hardly listened to any, however. I think living with roomates at school made me want to be respectful of their likes and dislikes, so I just didn't listen to any. It made me fall a little bit out of love with music. But lately I have found myself really enjoying fantastic songs that are either sung well, have great lyrics, or both. So here are some of the songs I can't seem to get enough of lately as I re-fall in love with music (in no particular order):

1. Oh Me, Oh My (Imogen Heap) - I love this song, especially the part in the middle where she sings, "Oh God, are you there? Are you there? Are you out there? Are you there if so where are you hiding? I'm having trouble finding you." I don't know how she means it in the song, but its such an emotional part of the song for me, and I love how she just belts it out.

2. Candlelight (Imogen Heap) - This is such a beautiful song. I love the piano. I actually dream of performing this song somewhere, playing the piano and belting it out. I actually think that if I found out I only had a few months to live, I would force Glenn to learn this, and we would sing it somewhere, in front of friends and family, maybe at the Bend Theatre. That would make me happy and would be something I would want to do before I died. Morbid, I know. Sorry.

3. Need You Now (Glee version!) - I really didn't like this song when it came out by Lady Antebellum. No offence to them. The lyrics are kinda dumb, oh I'm drunk, come to me! But for some reason hearing this version made me hear it in a new way. That, and I love Puck's voice - he is amazing! Sing more on Glee!!

4. That Should Be Me (J. Biebs & Rascal Flatts) - I really enjoy this, because I love RF, and yes, I like Justin too (he has a really great voice!). Well sung, enjoyable, and yeah, its so catchy I just keep listening to it!

5. Alone (Heart) - Probably the best song of all time. It will never, EVER lose its magic to me. She is so so so amazing! The best voice ever! During my apathetic music days, this song got me through. It bothers me that kids these days only know this song because of a crappy cover, especially when this one is so fabulous. Love you Heart, and love the exploding piano in the video!

EDIT: Ann's still got it! And Carrie is just unbelieveable! Oh my WORD. Check this out!

I LOVE Imogen Heap! I'm always listening to music-Landon's happiest when I'm singing to him.
