Jams of the Week - 1/29/16

Howdy and welcome to jams of the week!

I LIVE for Beyonce collaborations, so I when I heard this one with another awesome band- Coldplay- I geeked out. I love song and the video is so great and colorful.

"Life is a drink, and love's a drug
Oh now I think I must be miles up
When I was a river dried up
You came to rain a flood"


Coldplay - Hymn for the Weekend Feat Beyonce

Lay By Me was a song I couldn't decide if I liked or not. My brain decided for me by constantly having it stuck in my head. 

Lay By Me - firekid

I could post a Frank Turner song every week right now and still want to post more. Currently obsessed with how he hits me right in the feels. This was my song of 2016.

Get Better - Frank Turner

Lastly, I saw Barcelona in Chicago a few years ago and fell in love. This song under the disco ball at Lincoln Hall was perfect.

Background - Barcelona

I hope you all have a baller weekend, and stay sane even when cabin fever sets in from any snow-apocalypses. 

Till next time,

Maggie

Jams of the Week - 1/1/16 Songs for the New Year

Hiya! Happy New Year! I hope you rang in the New Year in style, or in pajamas being a bum (because both sound awesome). Here are my first three jams of the year! 

Cooper- This Year

"This year has been the best and the worst year/

I hear it's all uphill from here"

Frank Turner is my current spirit animal. I love this song and it's perfect for wanting to be better in 2016.

Frank Turner - The Next Storm

"But I don't want to spend the whole of my life indoors/

Laying low, and waiting on the next storm/

I don't want to spend the whole of my life inside/

I want to step out, and face the sunshine"

The Struts - Could Have Been Me

"I wanna taste love and pain/

Wanna feel pride and shame/

I don't wanna take my time/

Don't wanna waste one line/

I wanna live better days/

Never look back and say/

Could have been me"

Here's to a baller 2016! 

Till next time,

Maggie

Jams 8/23/15

The song stuck in my head this week is called Recovery by Frank Turner. It has some of those lines I just immediately connected to.

 "Yeah, cause broken people can get better if they really want to/

Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive!"

This is also a total earworm, I was yelling "F that" for a while....this is an ultimate motivation song! Love it!
Anything - Hedley

Hope your weekend was epic!
