ninety four - this is not a song prompt.

this is not a song prompt. simply a few songs that have changed the way i think. they are really important to me and got me through something, so. give them a listen if it's your cup of tea.

my favorite paramore song is All I Wanted. it's my shut up and sing kinda anthem.

my favorite worship song is A Prayer by King's Kaleidoscope. it's raw, it's desperate, and it's real worship. it taught me that our prayers don't have to be clean cut and perfect, and we can feel God even when we're hitting rock bottom. He meets us where we're at.

three songs continually make me cry. a hit the floor kinda cry. but yet they are three of the most continually beautiful songs i know. Fix You by Coldplay. Faithfully by Journey. What Sarah Said  by Death Cab for Cutie. my all-time favorite song lyric comes from what sarah said: "it stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds."

my favorite song of all time is Piano Man by Billy Joel. "they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone."

one of my most favorite songs not only changed the way i think, but it also reminds me of a person who changed the way i think, Nick. Last Leaf by OK Go. "and if it takes forever, forever it'll be."

Heaven Forbid by The Fray is a bitterly beautiful song that reminds me of Emily and conversations we've had on her couch when i come over randomly.

Rebekah, my dear sister. she played this song on the summer service trip, and i like it so much better when she plays it. it taught me a lesson i'll never forget and never fails to give me hope. Glory by Radical Face.

You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds by Mayday Parade. if i'm right, this is joseph's favorite mayday parade song that he told me to listen to at one point. :)

Airplanes by Local Natives. this one represents a memory. Izzy showed up in my front yard and told me to listen to this band. who knew they would change my life and i would almost get trampled at their concert. this was the second song i listened to.

for my beautiful sister Emalie i have Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas. we listen to that when we escape everything at home and go on drives together. one line: "and if i claim to be a wise man, it surely means that i don't know."

my favorite song to play is Song for Someone by U2. i heard it by accident and i still don't prefer to listen to it, but the lyrics get me every time. i feel it in my soul. that's why i play it on guitar when i get anxiety at big parties. it's a shot in the dark kinda anthem.

my favorite band of all time is Coldplay. my favorite song of theirs is Ghost Story. 

Trees by twenty one pilots reminds me of ethan grey. he's one of my favorite people.

The Hardest Part by Coldplay is definitely my second favorite song of theirs. it pulled me out of a crazy fucking hard time.
