My Darkest Days – Still Worth Fighting For

So lets starts off with some rock! This song isn’t like every other rock song, its more on the soft side. It also has really sweet and touching lyrics (to me anyway). It has a lot of meaning to me, and there are thousands of memories tied to it.. During my sophomore year of High School I went out of states to Israel for a year due to my dad’s job. I met so many amazing people there, and I got really attached to some of them. One guy that I was really close to showed me this song after he had told me that he liked me but that he obviously knew it wouldn’t work because I wasn’t staying in Israel permanently. Now whenever I hear this song, the memories of everyone I befriended there come rushing back.

Philip Wesley – Dark Night of The Soul

Switchin’ it up to classical music. Let’s see.. I guess the main reason I like classical music at all is because I went to music school from 1st to 5th grade. I was taught to play numerous instruments (sadly I’d forgotten how to play since I didn’t take them seriously enough), but my favorite of all time is the piano. I really love how calming and ‘flowy’ Philip Wesley’s music can be.. It always paints some sort of picture or scene in my head (or maybe that’s just something I picked up from music class.. LOL.)

 Be With You – Aziatix

This song is just so upbeat and happy and I just love it~! It always helps me cheer up or get more energized when I’m tired/bored. It really doesn’t have any real meaning or significance to me except for the fact that it’s like my happy song. LOL.

Jung Yonghwa – Because I Miss You

KPOP YES~! <3 To those of you who aren’t familiar with this genre, its Korean Pop. This specific song is sung by a singer that I have adored for many years. He was the main lead in a Korean Drama called “Heartstrings” (If anyone is a fan of anything Korean, I definitely recommend watching this!), and this was a song he wrote and sang for the girl he liked when things got tough for her. His voice is what got me addicted to this song, but the Kdrama played a part in it too.

My Darkest Days – Can’t Forget You

Going back to My Darkest Days and the whole ordeal with me and Israel. I came across this song by accident a few months (close to half a year or so) after I had left Israel, and it really just got to me emotionally. The lyrics give away the meaning of the song, and yes, it is dedicated to someone. Even though that someone doesn’t mean nearly as much as he used to, this song still triggers memories and causes me to miss the old days..

Royal  Pirates – Drawing The Line

Yay, Kpop~ Okay, so there are 2 versions to this song; A Korean version and an English version. I’ll focus on the English version (even though the 2 versions have 2 completely different meanings, but OH WELL~) just to make things easier for you. The beat is addicting to me, and I love how the song is a mix of pop and rock <3 Just like “Be with you”, this song gets me happy, energized and hyped up. The Music Video for it is also very adorable which is what caught my eye in the first place.

EarlyRise – Wasteland

I stumbled upon this song by accident a while back, and the intro reallyyyy caught my attention (The guitar parts specifically). Then when the singer began to sing I was absolutely in love with her voice. The way I see it, this song is about our society and how we’re always judged and because of that we pretend to be someone we’re not; basically we follow rules that don’t even exist. The singer encourages us to break of that habit and to just be ourselves.

Kim Jaejoong – Mine

Okay so Kim Jaejoong has to be my all-time favorite Korean artist EVER. I’ve been a fan of his since.. 2009 I believe, when he was still in a group called TVXQ/DBSK. I’m so used to hearing upbeat KPop songs from him that when I stumbled upon this specific song I was completely shocked because I never thought he’d do KRock.. And after seeing the MV as well I was absolutely in love~! His voice is amazingggg and the music video is really really well made.. I also adore the fact it’s a rock song with bits of calming piano parts (Combination of my 2 favorite instruments ever; Piano and Guitar <3) I’ve become pretty much addicted to this song now and have been listening to it almost non-stop since I found it about 2 weeks ago.

J Rice – Afraid of Love

So I found out about this song on Pandora years ago. At the time, I was getting over a bad relationship so I could relate to this song pretty well.. But now, I just really like the beat of it and even though the lyrics don’t mean the same thing they did to me back then, I can still relate to this song to an extent. His voice is also very soothing and compliments the melody/beat.

Simple Plan – Save You

While I was in Israel I was introduced to this band, and this song was the first song I heard by them. It has a lot of meaning to me because it is on the topic of cancer and cancer survivors.. Both my grandfathers died of cancer when I was very young; one of them died when I was only 1 and the other died when I was 5 years old. I don’t have any memories of either one because 1. I was too young at the age of 1, and 2. I moved to Israel when I was 2 years old and left one of them behind.. Even though I don’t have memories of them this song still affects me because they were my parents’ parents and they had told me a lot about them throughout the years. If you watch the Music Video and listen to the lyrics you’ll also be emotionally affected one way or another (even if you never lost someone to cancer)
