Youre The Antidote To Everything Except For Me // A Constellation Of Tears On Your Lashes // Burn Everything

You’re the antidote to everything except for me // A constellation of tears on your lashes // Burn everything you love then burn the ashes

Love this song from Fall Out Boy! Their songs always have such great energy, and this one is no different. I like that this one was a little more intense than their songs before it. The musicianship is awesome as always, and Pete’s voice sounds great in this song!

I need a saving grace // A hiding place // I don’t have forever or time to waste

My favorite song by the Band Perry. I love the lyrics of this song, and I like how it’s a little more reminiscent of the self titled era TBP, whereas Pioneer era TBP was a lot bigger in sound. I love the musicianship in this song, as well as Kimberly’s raspy voice. I’m excited to see where their new music is heading.

I didn’t know I lost it all // Didn’t know I’d break and fall // This isn’t who I’m meant to be // There’s so much here that I’ve found missing

I am absolutely in love with this song from Juliet!  I’ve been a fan of hers since The Voice, and this song is exactly why.  She has such a powerful voice, while also portraying so many different emotions all at once.  These lyrics are absolutely beautiful, and her voice just adds to that. I also love that the acoustic version is the version on the album because it’s so raw and pure.

I’m picking up the pieces // I’m trying out adhesives // I’m trying to fix a place that feels broken

Love this song so much by Switchfoot.  Especially in today’s political climate, I feel like this song is needed more so than ever.  This version, the acoustic one with only Jon Foreman, has such a powerful impact, and it showcases the words perfectly.  We make the world how it is, so every day is a chance to change the world.  Everything we do has an impact, and it is in a way our religion.

You like me best when I’m off my rocker // Tell you a secret, I’m not alarmed // So what if I’m crazy? // The best people are

Love this song from Melanie!  This song has such a cool industrial vibe, while still keeping true to her kid-like nature in her songs.  She’s so good at writing lyrics from a completely metaphorical viewpoint, and this song highlights that perfectly.

I thought that you would be the hero // Come and save the day // But you’re a villain // Your sins unforgiven

This performance of River of Tears by Alessia Cara on SNL was incredible!  The whole performance was carried by just her and a piano, and you don’t see many people do that.  This song is so powerful on the record, but this stripped down version really highlighted the lyrics even more.  Her voice sounded incredible, and her emotion poured through with every note.
