Radvent Day 5: Rocking Out

Write down the soundtrack of your year so far. Play it for someone who loves you.


This one is going to be so much fun, but I have to come back to it in a bit, cuz I really do need to do some homework first.

All right, so I've been thinking about this throughout the day, and I've come up with a list of songs that represent my last year.

January-April:


This is my generic depressed song. Whenever I'm upset or depressed or anything, I listen to this song. It doesn't make me feel better, but I still love it.


Another one of my depressed songs. This one just seems to describe how I feel sometimes.


I couldn't find a youtube version, so you get a myspace version instead. This song is one that I hold on to when I'm depressed. It encourages me to keep on keeping on because eventually it's going to get better.


Again, another depressed song... In case you haven't noticed, I really wasn't doing too well last year from about January to the end of April... hence all the depressing songs, lol. We're almost through them, I think...



Okay, I think we're at the end of this depressing set. Let's move on to happier times.

May

Use Somebody - Kings of Leon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnhXHvRoUd0

This was finally the end of the semester from hell. School was over and though I wasn't going home for the summer, I was looking forward to sleeping late and working and not having to worry about school.


This song always makes me feel like something better is just around the corner, and while I might not have known exactly what that was in May, it was :)

June-September:

Let Love In - Goo Goo Dolls

I can't find this one on youtube, not because it's not there, but because I still can't listen to this song without crying. So if you wanna hear it, you're gonna have to find it yourself. This was the song K picked as our song, and we spent the summer texting each other every time we heard it.


While I don't agree with all of the lyrics ("Lets go all the way tonight"? no thanks), this is how I felt for pretty much the entire summer and it was great. I think this was the best summer I've ever spent for the most part :)

Kings and Queens - 30 Seconds to Mars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhUya3D73sI

Well, I had to throw Jared Leto in here, cuz we all know I love him. I love the video for this song, but it's so long, so I just linked to the song instead. This song makes me happy. "We were the kings and queens of promise".

Beside You - Marianas Trench

I also had to throw some Marianas Trench in here, cuz I also love Josh Ramsay, lol. I love this song because it makes me feel like when I find that special someone, he will always be here for me, no matter what. It's also how I felt about K at the time.

Good To You - Marianas Trench feat. Jessica Lee

So this video and version of the song didn't come out until a couple months ago, but I've had the album for a while, so this song is another one that was a soundtrack to my summer. Plus Josh Ramsay looks amazing with eyeliner :D

September-October/November:

This Is How A Heart Breaks - Rob Thomas

Yeah, so this is how I felt right after K broke up with me

Alive Again - Marianas Trench http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgBf6d_8hwA

I dunno why, but Marianas Trench just always seems to strike a chord with me, no matter how I'm feeling. They have a song for everything.

I Miss You - blink 182

Most of these songs kind of say it all, eh?

I Don't Love You - My Chemical Romance

This is how it felt when he left me. Also, I heart Gerard Way

Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon

I think this song applies to most of my break ups, but that's just cuz I think I'm an awesome girlfriend and I don't understand how someone could not want to be with me ;)

Breakeven - The Script

Yup, this is how I felt as well.

November:

Hit Me Up - Danny Fernandes feat Josh Ramsay & Belly

Okay, so I really don't care about Danny or Belly, but I LOVE Josh's vocals in this song :) This is the song that I listened to for hours during the NaNoWriMo overnighter :)


So for this one I couldn't find it on youtube, so you get a weird link again. Just click on the link on the left underneath where it says Finger Eleven Ain't No Sunshine. I love Finger Eleven, and I love this song. Though I definitely like Finger Eleven's version better than the original.

December:

Airplanes - B.O.B. feat Hayley Williams

I love this song too.

Comin' Home - City and Colour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btjhdHX8pMo

Because I'm going home in two weeks :D

Famous Last Words - My Chemical Romance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bbTtPL1jRs

Because "I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone".

One Thing - Finger Eleven

Because it's one of my all time favourite songs and has been for a long time.

Wow that took a LOT longer than I thought it was going to! Also, I've been a lot more honest about stuff than I have been with most people. I feel a little naked... lol

**Edited to add**

Alibis - Marianas Trench

I was just reminded of this song, and how much it reminds me of myself. I always feel like I have to put on a happy face for everyone in my life so no one knows how much I'm hurting behind the mask. I think if I had to choose a song that represents my entire life, not just the past year, it would be this song.
