My Favorite Music

Hey there! So there are very few things that I pride myself in, but my taste in music is definitely one of them. Music is amazing because it has the power to make us feel all of these emotions, like sadness, joy, heart-break, and the sheer desire to dance. My favorite band ever is The Beatles, but I also love Mumford & Sons, Coldplay, Adele, Bon Iver, the Black Keys, the Lumineers, Radiohead, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder, Muse, Ed Sheeran, Death Cab for Cutie, Lana Del Rey, U2, Fleet Foxes, The Smiths, The Killers, Augustana, Simon & Garfunkel, John Mayer, John Lennon, Queen, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Kid Cudi, MGMT, Prince, Regina Spektor, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and an assortment of Broadway musicals. Sorry that's such a long list, but I love a lot of music. I thought I'd share my favorite songs by each of the previous bands/artists so you can have the best playlist ever!

     My favorite songs from musicals include On My Own from Les Miserables, My Friends from Sweeney Todd, and The Music of the Night from the Phantom of the Opera.

     Last but not least, my all-time favorite song EVER is "Here, There, and Everywhere," by The Beatles. I am convinced that there has never been, nor will there ever be, a better song than this. Its simplicity is what makes it so beautiful.

     I hope you listen to some of these songs if you haven't heard them before and that you enjoy them as much as I do! I think I might do some more posts like this in the future, but with different songs. Please comment what you think, and feel free to ask me for more music recommendations (this list is only the beginning).

Carpe Diem,
Brooke
