For me this is one of the most depressing songs out there.
Just Let Me Be - This song was played at my Papa's (Granddad's) funeral. If you listen to the lyrics it's technically a break up song. However for, and the rest of my family it is about loss.
It is a beautiful song, but I can't listen to it without crying. For me, music can inspire any emotion imaginable, the same song can inspire different things in different people. You may listen to this song and find that it helps you recover from a bad break up.
Most of the time I bottle everything inside, when it becomes to much I have a tendency to listen to a playlist of the songs from the funeral, get drunk and cry myself to sleep.
So, try this song out and see what it inspires in you.

Safe & Sound - Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars
Okay not really an excuse but my kid is on his school holidays so...yeah, totally forgot to add more posts.
Safe & Sound - Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars. So July was just completely forgotten in terms of new posts, August...August isn't really a good month for me. My wedding anniversary at the end of the month is the only good thing, the rest of the month is just bad memories.
I cried myself to sleep a fair few times, this being one of the songs I did it to.
Now the song itself actually has more of a hopeful, I'll-protect-you, vibe to it. But I suppose that's why I was crying to it. It reminds me strongly of the person I lost long ago. He was my protector and my hero and this song speaks to the hole he left behind.
If you're feeling down about something, this song may help you find a way to feel strong again. So check it out and see if speaks to you.

High School Never Ends - Bowling For Soup
I know this is a departure from my usual type of music but I like a lot of their stuff.
High School Never Ends - Bowling For Soup
This song is very catchy, both the lyrics and the tune. It's all about the cliques and stereotypes found in high school and how they carry over into life afterwards. It's a funny song and is even funnier if you watch the video for it.
These guys have a lot of great songs, so if you've never heard of them, you're missing out.
Check out the song, and video, and see if you like it as much as I do.

Stay The Night - Zedd ft. Hayley Williams
A brilliant collab between two brilliant artists.
Stay The Night - Zedd ft. Hayley Williams
I was listening to my YouTube mix that I've dubbed 'Upbeat' and this came round to playing. When it first came out I was hooked. It got me interested in both artists individually - so I also found a bunch of other great tracks I now love. The dance track I very catchy and bop-along-y.
The lyrics put this into the category of a 'hook up' song. The video is really well done and has two amazing dancers centre stage really bringing the song to life.
Check it out, refresh your memory and see if it sticks in you mind again.
On a side note, I got another new nephew in the time since my last post! He spent a couple of extra days in hospital due to a slight breathing problem but now he's home and doing great.

See You Again - Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth (Kina Grannis Cover)
This song really needs no introduction.
See You Again - Kina Grannis Cover.
The first time I heard this I was struck by how hauntingly beautiful and perfect it was. Written in memory of Paul Walker the song talks about the value of friendship and family and is written as a message to a missing friend.
There are many covers of this, I've watched a fair few of them on YouTube, but for me Kina Grannis' cover is the one that has the same captivating, heart breaking edge to it.
Kina has her own albums out and I've been a fan of hers for a few years now. She has a lot of other covers on her YouTube channel as well as all her own songs.
Go check her out and give them a spin as well as listening to this cover.

Shut Up & Dance - Walk On The Moon
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.
