I'm completely bopping along to this and not caring how I look.
Shut Up & Dance - Walk On The Moon This is a total party tune, I can see it getting everyone on their feet regardless if they've been drinking or not.
It's a song about throwing yourself into love and embracing the downsides with the ups. The lyrics are very catchy and I love the video. I particularly love the line - 'deep in her eyes, I think I see the future'.
If this comes on when I'm out I'll be dragging my friends into the dance floor.
There is a brilliant acapella cover of this by Alex G & Mike Tompkins on YouTube. They've turned it into an amazing cover so go check that out as well as the original.
I dare you to resist playing this more than once.

When You Sleep - Mary Lambert
I've been listening to this for nearly two hours.
When You Sleep - Mary Lambert
This is a beautiful song, it has an elegant simplicity to it that just draws you in. I dithered on whether or not to click on the recommend on YouTube and I'm so glad I did.
It talks of wondering if 'this thing' is real or a dream. Another line asks 'how did I miss you, when I didn't know you'.
To me that sums up the song. It reminds of the times you have a dream that's so real, when you wake up you're surprised and want nothing more than to go to sleep again.
Check this song out and if it's addictive for you.

Somthing's Got A Hold On Me - Christina Aguilera
I love just about every song in this movie.
Something's Got A Hold On Me - Christina Aguilera (Burlesque)
I could have chosen any song from this movie but this one popped up on the random 'listen again' thing on YouTube and caught my eye.
I am aware this is a cover, and I love the original as well! And yes, I had heard it before the movie version. Right from the very first 'oh' Christina grabs your attention and doesn't let go for the rest of the movie. As always she has an amazing voice. And of course the ever brilliant Cher is also in this movie and has a song of her own. If you don't know the movie - go check it out, even if it's only for the music!
This song is about getting caught up the feeling of love for the first time. it's about the 'shaking and feeling strange'. The talks of being changed by love in every way, about something being different when walking and 'sounding sweeter' when talking.
Just as a warning there will be other Christina songs on here eventually. I get hooked every time I listen her - check the song out and see if you get hooked on this.

Say You Love Me - Jessie Ware
I'm a fan of the voice and I loved Sasha's cover of this.
Say You Love Me - Jessie Ware
So Sasha's cover might have gotten me to do this post but I was already in love with this song. Jessie has an amazing voice and the simple backing really shows it off. Plus the video is nice a simple as well.
The song is about wanting a deeper connection, a deeper and more meaningful love. It's about holding back if the other person isn't willing to give it their all, but loving them anyway. The song has a sort of a sad tone to it but also a sort of urgent hope.
Check the song out, and Jessie's other stuff as well, and see if it ends up on a loop.

Wanderer's Lullaby - Adriana Figueroa
I stumbled across this whilst browsing on YouTube.
Wanderer's Lullaby - Adriana Figueroa
This YouTube artist has a unique sounding voice. She has a lot of covers on her profile from a variety of different things, games, movies, anime and current music as well.
This original song is beautiful. It is encouraging and hopeful. The song encourages you to be yourself, to ignore what others want you to be and those who put you down. The chorus talks of being 'the dawn of a new day' speaking of being unfinished and just beginning.
This lullaby is simple, elegant and peaceful. I could (and have) listened to it all night. If you're feeling down about yourself please listen to this, it's just right for those kind of moments. Or even if you have suffered a set back of some kind.
This song is proof positive that sometimes it's worth clicking on the unknown singers. Check this out and you're almost guaranteed to put it on repeat.
