Music is a very important part of my life. It is a way of expressing one self in a way that can reach whoever wants to hear. These songs are a few trying to cover every one of my genres that I listen to. Most of this music is relatively new since I have only been really listening and finding music for a a few years now but I feel that I have cultivated a large amount of songs in that time. The place where I to listen to music can be anywhere for instance when I travel by car, subway, or walking I am always listening to music and when I’m in my room I am usally looking up new music. These songs aren’t my favorite of all time but rather noteworthy songs that I am always in the mood for.

Fuck Your Ethnicity – Kendrick Lamar: This song is my favorite rap song that came out this year. I downloaded the album after I heard the single off the track ADHD. I like it for its powerful beats and creative lyrics.
Ice Cream – Battles: Everything about this song when I listen it just pumps me up so much. From its style of riffs and how there were multiple ways it bridged back to the chorus it just work so well.
Run Into Flowers – M83: This was the first album I download without advice from a friend or a or blog and it turned out to be one of my favorite albums. This song is also part of the Shoegaze genre which usally is more of a relaxed genre but with this song it is able to have a layered build up throughout the song.
What Ever Happened – The Strokes: For me this is one of those song you wish was just another minute longer and putting a song by the strokes is never a bad move.
Something Goes Right – SBTRKT: I saw this DJ live and I either missed this song or he didn’t play either way I was annoyed that i missed out on hearing this song.
Elephant – Tame Impala: This summer I went to Chicago for Lollapollooza and this was one of the acts that were playing there, unfortunately we missed our flight and all the first act which was Tame Impala. Luckily there performing in New York and I’m going to see them November. This is their single off their new album and now that I am seeing them after this album I get to hear this song live.
Dance For You – Dirty Projectors: Whenever I want to relax this is the song for me. The first time I heard it was at their concert and I couldn’t wait to go home and figure out what song it was.
Knife – Grizzly Bear: Heard this song a few years back and I didn’t like it. I came back to it recently and I felt very stupid for not liking it and giving it more time.
Pyramids – Frank Ocean: Another great song that took me a while to like. This one more eminent and its the perfect length and very funky.
My Body is a Cage – Arcade Fire: This song has everything in it. The build up, simple but powerful lyrics and the ridiculous amount of different instruments that they use.
