Music That Defined My Decade

Everyone agrees that music holds strong emotional ties in our minds. We associate songs with moments, for better or worse. For example: You’re going about your day, adulty like you are, and suddenly, a song from the mid-2000s comes on the radio or Pandora or Spotify or whatever. Almost instantly, you’re transported back to being … Continue reading Music That Defined My Decade

Day 29: Roots – Imagine Dragons

I like learning about geneaology. It’s fun to look back at the past and see where parts of you have come from, whether biological or adopted. Some things are inherited, like I get my blue eyes from my dad, and other things are learned, like how I sometimes sound like my mom when I get … Continue reading Day 29: Roots – Imagine Dragons

The True Crime Obsession

Lately, I’ve been on a bender. No, not that kind of bender. I do have some standards. I’ve had a little bit more free time than usual, and I’ve spent it catching up on my backlogged Netflix queue. Do you know what 90% of my Netflix queue consists of? That’s right! True crime documentaries. In the past week, I’ve … Continue reading The True Crime Obsession

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 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
