The Perfect Song :)

Music is my life, if I has to choose a favorite song I definitely wouldn't be able to. There are so many songs that I love and have memorized every part down to the breaths that the singer takes in between words. Once I get home my Ipod is in hand and I'm already hitting the Pandora app(yes I use Pandora because I don't have enough money to buy all of the songs I want). Although I do like TONS of songs in a WIDE variety, there are certain qualities that can make a song perfect.

         SINGER
Of course the singer has to good because if you have a horrible singer sing an amazing song it won't even matter because nobody will even pay attention to the song, they'll be focusing on how bad the singer sounds. These are some of my favorite singers with awesome voices that I recommend: Christofer Drew Ingle with NeverShoutNever, Christina Perri, John Vesely of Secondhand Serenade, and Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine, just to name a few.
         CHORUS
If anything the chorus has to be good because it's repeated throughout the song.Chorus is the part of the song usually repeated after each verse.It should have a catchy tune, meaningful, fun, or even witty words. Either way the chorus is probably the most important part of the song because people usually remember the chorus more than any other part of the song. Some songs with that have some pretty creative and cool choruses are: I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie, Love Drunk by Boys Like Girls, Kiss with a Fist by Florence + The Machine, and Viva La Vida by Coldplay.
           LYRICS
If anything makes a song for me it's the meaningful or clever lyrics. Lyrics, the words to the song, can make or break a song. If the lyrics don't make sense or sound weird together then people probably won't like the song. My favorite songs because of the lyrics are: Yellow by Coldplay, Bluebird by Christina Perri, 1,2,3,4 by Plain White T's, and I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic at the Disco.

  1. Clever lyrics definitely have the power to change how much I enjoy a song. Sometimes I won't like a song until I actually stop to focus on the lyrics. After that, it makes its way into my regular music jam rotation.

  2. I love songs too. Lyrics are important to a song because it helps us understand the point of the song besides the music. The music defines the mood of the song whether its sad, happy, or angry. I think music is a way to express or convey feeling to the listener.
