music is to the soul what words are to the mind.

Music has a way of softening the edges. It expresses what cannot be expressed, it makes happy moments happier, and it is a safe place to hide. Music has long been an important part of my life and who I am. Though what I am listening to may shift and change depending on my mood, there are usually a handful of songs in heavy rotation at any given time. Today, I wanted to share some of those songs. Just in case you are looking for a little something special to add to your next playlist. 



Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter. Without a doubt, my current song obsession is Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter. I cannot stop listening! I have had it on repeat fairly regularly since its release. I have long loved Sabrina's music (I was a big fan of Girl Meets World) but this song is a real standout. I love the music video and the emotionally honest lyrics. 


 


Whoops by Meghan Trainor. This is a real earworm. Though all of the songs on the new Meghan Trainor album are fantastic (I have been listening to the album a lot lately and am contemplating purchasing concert tickets to see Meghan in concert in the fall)...Whoops has been in heavy rotation. I love how upbeat it is - along with the sassy and confident lyrics she is known for.




We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love) by Ariana Grande. Another album that I have been listening to a lot lately is Eternal Sunshine from Ariana Grande. I love all of the songs (I Wish I Hated You is a standout) but ever since the music video for We Can't Be Friends was released, the song has been on repeat. It often gets stuck in my head in the best possible way. 




Over by Lindsay Lohan. Though the rest of the songs on this list are fairly recent, this next song is an oldie but a goodie. Recently, HMV stores opened within Toys R Us stores (do not ask me why, but please know that I am thrilled about it) and I found myself faced with an excellent selection of records. One of the ones that came home with me was Speak by Lindsay Lohan. I've been listening to this a lot, but the song Over is the one that hits hardest. I'd forgotten just how much I love it.

What songs have you been loving lately? Are there any albums in heavy rotation for you right now?

  7. I often have music playing, it's good to have a soundtrack to the day to day, and I take full advantage of working from home to work along with a soundtrack, haha! That Lindsey Lohan song was a blast from the past, I'd forgotten she released music!

    This songs are all really good, my favourite would be Lindsay Lohan with "Over". I loved her music so much, "Rumors" was also really amazing.
