Day 28: Polaroid – Imagine Dragons

Not that long ago, a friend of mine asked how I had my life together so well. I was flabbergasted. I looked at them like, seriously? I was not the person who had their life together. I haven’t had my life together since 2006. You can chalk it up to perception. On the outside, I might look like I … Continue reading Day 28: Polaroid – Imagine Dragons

Day 27: Anthology – Thrice

Does Audrey like metal? The answer is, sort of. But usually, not really. If you really dug into my heavier taste, you’d probably define it as the gentler side of post-hardcore. I like it when former headbanger bands mellow out, grow into their thirties, and have kids – and so does their music. (Because if … Continue reading Day 27: Anthology – Thrice

Day 26: Made for You – OneRepublic

It’s kind of ironic how many pop stars sing about the burden of fame. Like, if it’s so hard to be famous, why do you keep putting yourself in the spotlight? It’s easy to tell who’s thirsty for tabloid attention and who’s not, but it strikes me everytime a star talks about being famous. If … Continue reading Day 26: Made for You – OneRepublic

Day 25: Beautiful – Ben Rector

There are few things in this world that can’t be cured by a good old-fashioned joyride. My mom and I were talking about this the other day. It’s sort of like a mini-vacation from the world. No matter what kind of car you drive or music you listen to, it’s a getaway. High school is … Continue reading Day 25: Beautiful – Ben Rector

Day 24: No Hard Feelings – Manchester Orchestra

It’s not easy to leave this life with absolutely no regrets. Regrets come with the territory of living, because we all make mistakes (thanks, Hannah Montana.) But most of us have a wish to arrive at the end of our lives – whenever that may be – having lived a full and good life – … Continue reading Day 24: No Hard Feelings – Manchester Orchestra

Day 23: Ghosts – The Head and the Heart

I used to think 22 was so adult and mature. Now that I’m here, I’ve never felt younger. As I got older in college, I felt more mature to a degree, but now, in the real world, there’s no ranking or seniority, other than what’s in place at my work. So in an entry-level position, … Continue reading Day 23: Ghosts – The Head and the Heart

Day 22: Porcelain – Emarosa

To start off this post, I want to thank all of you who have been tuning in daily or weekly. I can’t believe I’ve tackled twenty-two songs already and only have eight left. So far, I’ve tallied 534 total views of this series, and I couldn’t be happier. Here’s hoping I’ll finish this off well. … Continue reading Day 22: Porcelain – Emarosa

Day 21: Trade Mistakes – Panic! At the Disco

I have a pretty set idea of what I want my wedding playlist to be. Not that I’m anywhere close to being married right now, but it’s fun to dream. And it’s always fun to build playlists, am I right? A wedding playlist is special because it’s your day and, hopefully, your music. You get to share what you … Continue reading Day 21: Trade Mistakes – Panic! At the Disco

Day Twenty: Wonder – The Classic Crime

I was an introspective child. I don’t say that to pat myself on the back either. I’ve been socially awkward since the day I was born, and have lived 80% of my life in my head thus far. Because I was so recessive as a kid, I had a lot of time and space to … Continue reading Day Twenty: Wonder – The Classic Crime

Day Nineteen: (*Fin) – Anberlin

Who remembers the rock scene of the 2000s? If you’re a millennial, you probably do. Maybe you even went through the quintessential angsty punk-rock phase. You know, skin-tight v-necks, studded belts from Rue 21, bangs over one eye (maybe even bleached.) Almost emo, but not quite. And if your mom would have let you have … Continue reading Day Nineteen: (*Fin) – Anberlin
