My Celebrity Playlist

I was just wandering around through iTunes and came across some celebrity playlists. I really like the idea of putting together those lists so I thought that for the day I would pretend to be a celebrity and create my own for everyone here to check out. So I've put together a list of about 20 songs that I could listen to every day over and over and never get tired of hearing them. I would love to hear your top five favorite as well. Here you go.

1. "You Are My Sunshine" – Johnny Cash: Although he is not the person to originally sing this song, it is still my favorite version. I don't know why buy I get goose bumps every time I hear this version. It was also my grandmother's favorite song.
2. "Grey Street" – Dave Matthews: I guess it's typical for the indies of my generation to favor Dave. The band is my favorite. I love Grey Street because I relate to it all to well as I think many people could. At times it almost mimics my thoughts.
3. "Soon We'll Be Found" - Sia: I love a lot of Sia's stuff. If there was one artist that I could spend a day with it would be her. All of her songs and videos are so deep and creative. I would like to take a day and just swim in her mind if that were possible.
4. "Use Somebody" - Kings of Leon: I can't help but just love this song and pretty much everything about this band. The best band I can think of from TN.
5. "Pieces" – Red: I love the intro here. I believe in God and his teachings and I can't help but think of Him when I hear this song. It's almost an irrevocable feeling not matter how hard you try to fix it.
6. "Snowden" – The Doves: Ok, this song is just pretty fricking cool.
7. "Sour Times" – Portishead: This song takes me back. It's one of those songs that launches you into the past. When I listen to it, everything about my day becomes 1995 again.
8. "I'll Be Seeing You" – Billie Holiday: May seem a bit cliched but she is definitely my favorite artist of her era. I fell in love with this song when I heard it. I love the smooth feel of the song and her voice makes you want to melt.
9. "California Dreaming" – The Mamas and the Papas: I went through a stage where I wanted to be a hippie and I listened to this song over and over. One because it made me feel like I lived in the 60's and two, because I so badly wanted to go to California and sing on the streets with my guitar. I thought listening to this song would help me figure it out. So naive, I don't have a guitar.
10. "Colors" – Amos Lee: I really enjoy his sound and this song is so touching. Wether you are in an intimate relationship or not, how wonderful would it be to be the one to bring color into the world of someone else.
11. "Blue Sky" – Patty Griffin: – Whenever I hear this song I feel like I can do anything. Patty Griffin is one of the best artists out there without question.
12. "Trouble" – Ray LaMontagne: I get lost in this song when I hear it. He puts so much passion into his songs. It's almost like he's in a different world when he's singing them at the same time bringing me to that place.
13. "Winter Waltz" – Jim Brickman: This song makes me feel like I'm in a dream. It's so incredibly beautiful.
14. "Green Eyes" – Coldplay: I have green eyes and it's the only song I've ever heard about green eyes. It's about me =0).
15. "Up To the Mountain" – Patty Griffin: – OH MY GOSH! Everyone needs to hear this song. I think it can be such a revelation to today and how we all feel. I cry almost every time I hear it. It almost takes your breath away.
16. "Both Sides Now" – Joni Mitchell: I can't really tell you why I like this song. I just do.
17. "A River Flows" – Yiruma: Oh if only I could play the piano I imagine that I would play music like this. I often put this song on repeat.
18. "Moonlight Sonata" – Beethoven: I have loved this song since I was a kid. I can't remember where I first heard it, I just remember listening to it constantly. It sounds so mysterious. I love mysterious. I listened to it for the first time on cassette tape.
19. "Never Think" – Robert Pattinson: The struggle of love. I can't get enough of this song. Thanks to Twilight for bringing it to light.

and last but not least . . .

20. "Tricky" – Run DMC: I can't help but bust a really bad move when I hear this song. I could be in the middle of the grocery store and hear this song and you would see me dancing. It's definitely my favorite hip/hop song.

There you go. Let me know some of you favs. Love you guys!
