Hell Beat You Up, Then Play The Victim // Its Honestly Best To Stay Far Away

He’ll beat you up, then play the victim // It’s honestly best to stay far away

One of my goals for 2017 is to clean my life up and eliminate toxic people from it. Remember, giving someone a second chance is forgiveness, giving someone a third and fourth chance that they don’t deserve is insanity. I love this song because it displays the sentiment of a toxic person. This band is so awesome and I’m convinced they’re gonna make it big this year. They have a super cool 1975 vibe, while still being totally unique and true to themselves. Chris has such a sultry voice, and i love Ryan’s bass and Sam’s drums. Aaron’s guitar riff in this song is so intoxicating (ironically) and catchy. I constantly get this song stuck in my head.

I still believe that there is more love than hate // There’s more heart than ache // And we are stuck in this great big world together

In light of all of the election and political drama, I feel like we all need this song in our lives right about now.  I love this song by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and I feel like it’s super relevant right now.  I love the groove of this song and Ronnie’s voice sounds awesome in it. These lyrics are so honest and delivered in such a great way. 

I’ve been doing what you want // But I won’t be your yes girl // No, not anymore

Awesome song by Bea Miller. These lyrics are so honest, and you can feel her raw emotion in every word she sings.  She is fed up, and she is done, and she is speaking her mind. She will not be tied down any longer.  These lyrics are an anthem of mine, especially during the Women’s March movements. We will not be silenced.  We will not be contained by anyone, man or woman.  We will not be yes girls. 

Heartbroken by the loss of George Michael this year.  He has played in my house for literally as long as I can remember.  His vocals are unmatched, and his artistry is completely unique.  Plus, he has one of the most famous original Christmas songs in history with Last Christmas.  His activism for LGBT rights has also been a huge inspiration to many, and he will forever have the most iconic saxophone solo in Careless Whisper.

RIP George, you are missed.

They stand for nothing // They’re lifeless and cold // Anything they say will never break our hearts of gold

I’ve just recently been introduced to One OK Rock, and man, am I impressed! I love this song so much! The message is a great one, and I absolutely love Taka’s voice!  Super happy I discovered them!

Too many people have skipped over the death of Christina Grimmie.  She was one of the first people who paved a way for being a successful musician off of YouTube, and was amazing on the Voice.  I was lucky enough to be able to see her in concert just a few days before she died. She has such a pure talent and had a heart of gold.  This song showcases her amazing talent in piano playing, songwriting and singing.  Still super sad from this tragedy, but I know that she is in Heaven right now.

RIP Christina, you are missed.
