Day 5 of "The Soundtrack of Your Life" challenge. The next song up is Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez This one is a little bit of a guilty pleasure. I know it is not very cool to like songs from Disney Pop Stars but my love of trance and heavy beats pulled this into my list. Actually I didn't even know that Selena Gomez was the singer for this until I wound up googling the lyrics for it to add it my list of tracks. I have to give her props...she has some great vocals. My exposure to this one definitely came out of hearing a segment of this song played in a commercial several times. I can't remember if it was a car or phone commercial but it after listening to the commercial using it a few times ... I wound up wanting to find it. The tune is very catchy and it is a great electronic mix. It is very easy to dance to as well. On a sidenote... when I attempted to google the lyrics to find this song, it was apparent I didn't identify the lyrics correctly. Instead of the actual lyrics "I love you like a love song baby" I was googling "I love you like I love somebody". I wish I could say this was only time that occurred but misidentifying what the lyrics are happens way more often to me than I'd like to admit. Luckily Google identified what I was looking for and refrained from rolling its eyes at me in the process. - As a special bonus to go along with this post. I am adding in a trinket with another Selena Gomez song hidden inside that I created for another activity. |
Day 4 of "The Soundtrack of Your Life" challenge. Today's song is... There's Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendes 4 entries into this challenge you probably can guess that I love songs that have a great beat. Shawn Mendes is a really good singer. This is another romantic piece and I'm a softie for sweet. The idea that someone can make you feel like you are able to take on the world without any limitations resonates with me a lot. The chorus for this song is wild...it is very fast paced with a lot of rapid lyrics providing an adrenaline rush when you are listening to it. It is the type of speed you would find in rap but this has the bonus of a melody accompanying it. The lyrics are also really good. They are reassuring expressing a feeling of being able to push forward though anything. As a listener I hear this song and have the same inspiration that "nothing would hold me back" as well. - |
Day 3 of "The Soundtrack of Your Life" challenge. Our featured song today is I'm Shipping Up to Boston by Dropkick Murphys I love this one!! This Celtic Rock style gives you the feel you are in an Irish pub when listening to it. It is loud, energetic and intense. It is really exciting to listen to. I think I heard this song originally in an episode of the Simpsons and I added it to my track list upon a relisten when I heard again during a boxing match. Everyone was cheering when it was playing and I knew it would go into my song list for sure. This is one of those songs I like to listen to often when I want to boost my energy. Hearing it playing in the background is guaranteed to spice up any activity you are doing!! - |
