Don't Leave Me: All American Rejects: I enjoy songs that have a little bit of counting and rhyming off of it. This song reminds me of high school and college, road trips and boys. One Star
Do It: Spice Girls: Well I like the Spice Girls... but this song... it doesn't really have anything for me.
I Got You: Train: It's funny, for some reason I had HATED Train for forever! Then I stopped. But that doesn't mean I love all of their songs.. This song is basically a remix of Black Water by the Doobie Brothers. It's a fine song, it's sunny and warm, but I am not loving it. (and I know my husband has it)
Running on Sunshine: Jesus Jackson: Talking about a sunny and warm song! This is a groovy song that makes you want to dance (at least me...) I like the slide on whatever instrument that is... and it is a fun song. Three Stars
Audrey, Start The Revolution: Anberlin: I really like this band! I like the hard way the instruments are played, and then it is soft... This song is really just a love song. Two Stars.
Mother Mother: The Veronicas: I don't recall listening to this song much when I got the CD... and it doesn't connect to me.
Gold: Owl City: My husband loves Owl City, so I think I got this from him... I like Owl City because one of my nephew's favorite songs was Fireflies and I thought it was adorable how he loved it so much. This song is actually pretty sweet. One Star.
Golden Years: David Bowie: I got this song because I loved it in A Knight's Tale, it's cooky, funky, and fun. One Star.
You Got What I Need: Joshua Radin: Ahh the summer of 2011... magical romances of what could not be... This is a good kitchen dancing song, takes me back to 2007 when I did an internship at a dance studio and me and the other intern would close the studio, turn off the lights and turn the music up... Four Stars.
Crash Course: Spill Canvas: Oh my goodness! I love this song! It's upbeat and fun, it is summer in a song, just fun and sweet, the lyrics are really cute. "Collision unavoidable" Perfect for love. Four Stars.
Waiting: The Rocket Summer: I don't know how I got this song, but it seems light and cute, his voice is slightly whiny, but I am enjoying the song... One star.
Evidence: Jimmy Eat World: Haven't listened to this song much since I got the CD, well actually haven't listened to Jimmy since I got the cd... It's always good stuff, I guess I just have to be in the mood for it which isn't too often... This seems to be a good song. One Star.
He's Not A Boy: The Like: This song is spunky and fun, so I got the whole CD... should have just stuck with this song, I really like the retro feel of this one, the music video is just a party. One Star.
Saturday In The Park: Chicago: This is one of my mom's favorite songs, I think I got it one time for a road trip I knew she and I would be taking. It is another fresh and light song, talking of good times and it's just cute. Three Stars.
Pressed in a Book: The Shins: I am conflicted here. This song is kind of fun, but I don't entirely love this band due to an ex-boyfriend who did love them. One Star...
The Forecast: Jason Mraz: I was skeptical when this one came up cause I am not the biggest fan of Mr. AZ... but I enjoy this one. I like all of the talk of the weather (this should have been in my Rain playlist!) It's a light and breezy song, makes me think of sitting in a coffee shop while reading, just content to pass time. Two Stars.

Because of this dance (you have to watch the back story.. I was crying. She's legally blind, but has a dance internship at Julliard... and is incredible.) I had to get the song, Stars by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. And after having listened to that song, I saw another that I thought I might like cause I typically enjoy songs about Paris, and Paris (Ooh La La) was what I wanted. Part of the background music sounds familiar but I don't know from where...
Love on Top, Beyonce: I love the power behind this song, she seems to attack the song, but it is so good, catchy, and fun.
ZZ Ward's whole CD, Til The Casket Drops
Some free songs, Running for Cover: Ivan and Alyosha and then Dark to Light: Telekinesis
Reviews to come...

Secret Oath
1000 Miles: Vanessa Carlton: This seemed to be THE song of 2002. I like the piano, so her music video is kind of fun. This song reminds me of the guy I went to my first Prom with, lets call him "Dustin". I think sometimes my mom would drive us somewhere and we would hold hands in the back seat, and that's the memory I have of this song. Also, that scene in White Chicks. Not to mention this scene in White Chicks. That alone has made me exclaim: This is MY Jam whenever a commercial, classical music, or anything that could be embarrassing come on the radio...
One Star, for nostalgia.
Your Name Here (Sunrise Highway): Straylight Run: I don't know how, but I have a full album by them... and I don't even know who they are. This song is nice, a sad song a little... It's kind of fun cause it is giving directions to his location, where he will be waiting. One Star.
Stellar: Incubus: I've loved them for awhile, never enough to get a full CD, just songs I have heard on the radio... and I like this one. It is quiet, then it rocks out, just a good piece of alternative music for any collection. Two Stars.
Better Off Dead: New Found Glory: Ahh high school... your ska/punk scene was so lovely! This song is fun and clever when you get to the ending (Just listened to the ending...apparently not this song has the clever ending I was thinking about...). It's good for road trips, for reminiscing, for cleaning the house. (I just now had the thought, what are my kids going to think of all the music I liked? Will I like their music? AHH) Two Stars.
Shake (clean): Yin Yang Twins: The reason I got this song is because of this competition piece. I've always wanted to be spun by my elbow ever since. I think this song is racy, it isn't one that I play often, but I think it has a great back beat, and I enjoy it in my workout mix, it can pump me up. One Star.
Last Love Song: ZZ Ward: Okay, she's my newest obsession. And this song... it's good. She lists off all of the things you and her won't do, all of the things you won't have... no more... it's a heartbreaking realization for her, but it is something she must do, to write this last love song... It's good, and I am obsessed with the Adele meets Fiona Apple type gal from Seattle... (which only strengthens my love for her). Three Stars.
Secret Oath: Spill Canvas: Oh how I love Spill Canvas! I forget about them every once in awhile... and then I hear them again and remember how I love them. I remember playing this CD as my secret way of proclaiming my love to "Dave" (whom I've affectionately referred to as devil dave in the past...) Anyway, I was in love with him in 2007 on my internship, he said it could never be, but would cuddle with me and I was reading mega mixed signals... But I wouldn't stop, just like he says in this song... I LOVE the ending, how he then talks to us, the listener... Three stars.
Obsession: Frankie J: I got this from a roommates mixed CD... it's a chill R&B song, but I'm not feeling a connection.
Say It Ain't So: Weezer: Another song that reminds me about "dave". He would get tired of me playing Spill Canvas on our drive to work, and he loved Weezer... this is a slow song but it is fun, I enjoy the chorus the most. One Star.
Debussie: Daphne Loves Derby: I've loved this band ever since I met the original bassist, Jason, at EFY. I would listen to them through whatever website it was when myspace wasn't as cool and youtube wasn't around, but it was just for upcoming bands... anywho. This is one of their slower songs that I don't love as much, but the lead singer's voice is so smooth. Two Stars.
