muzak

i think you can tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to. if you looked at my music, i don't really know what it would tell you about me, because i'm me. except maybe that i'm into feel-good music and that i'm a nerd.

the top 10 most played songs on my itunes are:

1. silver lining by rilo kiley (199 plays)
i wish i were jenny lewis, i really do. rilo kiley changed my life a few years ago and i've never gone back.
1. farmer chords by ben gibbard (199 plays)
i learned this song on the guitar. it is so hard. (not.) but i feel awesome every time i play it. i also wish i were ben gibbard because everything he does is awesome.
3. waiting on the world to change by john mayer (165 plays)
not a huge john mayer fan in general, but i listened to this song probably every day as i walked home from campus, once i got to the top of the maeser hill. it's the perfect song to end your day on campus.
4. just like heaven by the cure (155 plays)
once, rique, megan f., and i all pushed play on our ipods on this song at the same time and danced our way home from the library at 11:30 p.m. it was beautiful. people stared at us.
5. the sweetest thing by u2 (135 plays)
tommy and i put this song on our wedding video. and then we saw u2 in concert.
6. life in technicolor ii by coldplay (131 plays)
i listen to this song whenever i'm riding my bike. it fits there.
7. build me up buttercup by the foundations (129 plays)
remember how they always play this song at angels games?
8. pride (in the name of love) by u2 (120 plays)
sadly, i first learned this song from moulin rouge. and then i found it for reals and loved it way better as the original.
9. kingdom come by coldplay (111 plays)
i tried to learn this on the guitar but i couldn't. but it's so good i want you to listen to it.



10. 1 2 3 4 by feist (109 plays)
10. come on eileen by dexy's midnight runners (109 plays)
this song makes me dance. dance dance.

i love these songs. and many others.
