Guys I chose these songs because they all really mean something to me. Starting off with “Everlasting Light” by The Black Keys, I first heard this song while I was camping upstate. I don’t know why but the rhythm of the song alone just makes me happy. This is the only song that doesn’t have any significance to me…yet. “19-2000” by Gorillaz is that song that i play when things are moving too fast. It’s a great college and adulthood song to me because its about how the world and your surroundings change frequently and you’re left scrambling to adjust to the change(s). Kind of like dealing with all the new responsibilities we have as “adults”. The Velvet Underground’s “Sunday Morning ” is just a relaxing song BUT with a dark tone as it makes you feel relaxed but the lyrics in it point to how sometimes you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. “Fell in Love With a Girl” by White Stripes is just a great song. I personally feel that it recreates that hectic feeling of when you really love someone. However I always found this ironic because the song’s feeling is quite opposite to its lyrical meaning. I’ve been there, in that situation it describes. This makes it easy to lead into the next song, “No Buses” by The Arctic Monkeys which basically says that when you need something (like a bus or maybe someone’s affection) you’ll get nothing but when you don’t need it then there is more than enough to go around. I really love the next two songs which are by The Strokes. “Is This It” is that song i listen to when i feel empty and find myself disappointed by something. It strangely cheers me up because there is a sort of dark humor or apathy to it that i can relate very well to. “I Can’t Win” is that song that basically defines me. I some how always come up short in something that I really want to excel at. Some how some way I always screw up along the way and miss the mark. Close but no cigar. “In Transit” by Albert Hammond Jr. ,who is one of the guitarists in The Strokes,  basically describes how there are some people out there who will try to change you and much to their dismay; they fail. This is perfect for me because I won’t change for anyone unless I know its for the positive and I won’t do it until I want to. “My Way” by THE Mr. Frank Sinatra is a song I hold close to my heart because of its message. It states that despite my stumbles and shortcomings along the way to my ultimate goal, I’m proud that I lived my life my way and did all the things i wanted to do. It’s the ultimate “pave your own path” song. I’m finally at the end of this long winded post. The Final song is my very favorite because it brings to light that love hate relationship we have with the place we live and the way we go about things. It’s just like how I love New York City. Best city ever, but I really do hate it because it’s such a pain in the ass city to live in sometimes. “A Certain Romance” captures that perfectly.
