One of the many things that I have inherited from my dad is a serious love of music. When I was in the womb he would sing silly songs to me and when I was born I knew his voice first. When I was in elementary school, on the mornings that he was able to take me to school we would blast 60's Party Rock all the way. Music is the one thing that can completely calm my nerves and change my mood. You know it's a good song when you feel it deep in your soul. From the time I get up until I go to bed, music is playing 90% of the time. Below is a list of my top 20 favorite songs and the newest artists that I am loving. With nearly 2000 songs downloaded, this was no easy feat. (Side note: I tried to do a top 10, but I love too many songs. Also, I realized what a sap I am when it comes to music)
- Let It Be Me - Ray LaMontagne. I can listen to this song a million times and it never gets old. I already know this will be the first dance song at my wedding one day. It's so powerful and honest.
- New Favorite Memory - Brad Paisley. This song makes me think of what it's like to be in a new relationship and you find all of the things you love about the person you are with.
- Never Stop - SafetySuit. I love everything this band does. Listen closely to the words.
- My Girl Tonight - Jon McLaughlin. There is such a vulnerability with this song.
- NKOTBSB Mash Up. It's a mash up of New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys. Enough said.
- I Look to You - Selah. There is a video on YouTube of lead singer Amy Perry talking about her struggle with her weight which lead her to write this song. Very inspirational song.
- Boston - Augustana. Even though I am a Texas girl, I love Boston sports teams. This song has nothing to do with sports, but I can listen to it on repeat!
- I Ain't Ready to Quit - Jason Aldean. "If you think you've seen love, you ain't seen nothing yet." The line just gets to me.
- The Sound of a Million Dreams - David Nail. He could sing the phonebook and it would be amazing. This song really showcases his amazing voice.
- One and Only - Adele. "I dare you to let me be your one and only. I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms." Holy amazing lyrics and song. And it's Adele!
- Sober - Kelly Clarkson. The words of this song hit home with me when I struggle with my eating disorder. Powerful song that brings me to tears every time I hear it.
- When I Look At You - Lesley Roy. Fun and upbeat song to brighten your day.
- Lovers and Friends - Lil Jon. One of the best songs ever.
- Contagious - The Isley Brothers. I know every word of this song, including the conversation part. I sing it when I'm doing the dishes.
- Can Anybody Hear Me - Meredith Andrews. She is an amazing Christian singer. For anyone who has ever wondered if God has forgotten them, this song is for you.
- Forever - Ben Harper. Who doesn't want to be someones forever?
- Touch - Josh Abbott Band. This song just rocks!
- While I'm Waiting - John Waller. Heard this song while watching Fireproof. Amazing movie and an even more amazing song.
- These Arms of Mine - Otis Redding. I could listen to Mr. Redding all day and night.
- Suffocate - J. Holiday. What girl doesn't want to hear a guy say that she takes his breath away?
Here are a couple of albums that I'm currently obsessed with:

Who are your favorite bands and/or singers? What are your favorite songs?
Until Next Time,
