Beautiful World - Coldplay
Definitely one of those songs that brings happy thoughts and good vibes wheneever you listen to it.
Bones are sinking like stones
All that we fall for
Homes places we’ve grown
All of us are done for
The Only Place
Best Coast
Best Coast - The Only Place
A happy tune
We were born with sun
in our teeth and in our hair
When we are bored we like to sit around
sit around and stare

Songs to Listen to when you want to get your groove on
Madonna - Holiday (The Lazers remix)
Better play this song on repeat solely for the reason that it gives you every reason to celebrate. And that is something worth shaking your booty to. The Lazers did this Madonna hit justice.
Song to Listen to For Inspiration
We all have that jest for creativity or simply the need to make something that stems from a recent inspiration. If I were to be looking for a song to inspire me, this would be it.

ROBYN’s Be Mine Gets A Cover From Erik and Ellie
Be Mine - Ellie Goulding & Erik Hassle (Robyn Acoustic cover)
Robyn, the Swedish pop music icon’s hit tracks from the early 2000s gets a slightly raw acoustic version from UK’s Erik Hassle and Ellie Goulding. I’m sitting here in our living room’s sofa, with this song on repeat and the comfortable background sound of the falling rain and the creaks of frogs. However unlikely the combination is, I feel a deep sense of content in this very moment. And this song played it’s role beautifully.
Bon Iver - Beth/Rest (Solo Piano at World Cafe)
I’ve always been vocal in my old music blog how deeply respected Bon Iver is. From his album For Emma, Forever Ago his collaborations with other artists, and now this. His album is finally complete in all it’s magnificence.
If you loved his song Re:Stacks, which still remains to be my favorite song from Bon Iver, then you’d fall for this one. Uniquely titled Beth/Rest, the song is flawless in its attempt to capture emotions. I guess recording the album in the middle of the woods helped him get all his focus on. Whatever his method is, it surely is effective. The song is introspective and I wonder how this will mesh with the rest of the album. Anyhow, this bearded man’s talent is definitely not a one time deal.
Below is an unofficial video by Matt Wells set in the scene of traumatic children’s entertainment. This video made me tear up, which doesn’t make sense really cause not 1 film from the whole list featured in the video was I able to watch. Now THAT is how effective Bon Iver is.
