1. New Slang by The Shins - I am addicted to this song. I am addicted to this band. It has this pop slash indie sound in it that's so distinct. It gives me this odd feeling of comfort. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. I play this when I wake up so very late in the morning and I feel so left out, so alone and feel like no one cares. There is one theory I believe about the meaning of this song which states that "new slang" is the language of the middle-aged disillusioned and neurotic folks. I'm not middle-aged yet but I'm having a quarter life crisis and really, I'm neurotic, fortunately not bordering to psychotic.
2. Mexico by Leona Naess - I am very relaxed when I hear this. First heard it in Jango. It's an alternative pop song, but Leona's voice has this sexy, country-ish vibe. I usually play this song when I'm taking a quick break from writing my thesis. It feels like getting away from all the pressures and being with the one you love for just a while, in a place only true to the both of you. Yes, mine's kind of an overly romantic interpretation. But that's how it rings to me.
3. Something About You by Dramagods - Oh, this song is nice. Reminiscent of the 90s rock. The feeling we get when we come to know someone and connect with them in a cosmic sort of way. Yeah, feels strange and beautiful.
4. Gravity by Embrace - Now this is the song that makes me sad. Typical songs I listen to. The lyrics are beautiful. The melody is slow, the vocals - deep; just so much emotion in this song. Beautiful. Soundtrack of love, true love. Okay stop it, Kate.
5. Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson - Another feel good song. Actually a 'feel very good' song because it talks about intimacy and sex, but still romantically frothed and sealed with emotional substance. But it is really catchy and I love it. That's all.
