| Artist | Track | Album | Year | Comments | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Imogen Heap |
Hide and Seek
|
Speak for Yourself | 2005 | This song always makes me think of that Jason Derulo "Watcha Say" song, but of course the original is so much better! | ||
| M83 |
Splendor
|
Hurry Up, We're Dreaming | 2011 | I think this song is just so SO beautiful and I love it so much but lol I just realized I said it reminded me of my brother and then left it at that and I feel like I need to elaborate. Basically it was my brother who first discovered this song and then proceeded to spend the following weeks trying to learn it on the piano. I just remember him never wanting to learn the parts where he had to sing (haha I think cause he was embarrassed by his voice or something), so he'd just repeat the first instrumental part of the song over and over again and I'd get so annoyed! That being said, I eventually listened to the actual album version rather than my brother's mini cover and figured out that he was actually onto something this whole time. | ||
| Radiohead |
Idioteque
|
Kid A | 2000 | This is probably the Radiohead song I have the craziest dance parties to alone in my bathroom. | ||
| Alt-J |
The Gospel of John Hurt
|
This is All Yours | 2014 | This song is just a masterpiece. I have nothing else to say about it. | ||
| MGMT |
Alien Days
|
MGMT | 2013 | I love the child singing at the beginning and just such a cool intro to a song. | ||
| Linkin Park |
Waiting for the End
|
A Thousand Suns | 2010 | This is definitely a guilty pleasure favourite of mine. But I just love love love the last little part at the end of the song. | ||
| Modest Mouse |
Missed the Boat
|
We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank | 2007 | Just a fun little song. | ||
| The Shins |
Sleeping Lessons (live on Letterman)
|
Wincing the Night Away | 2012 | This is a contender for my favourite song of all time, especially the version the band plays live, it just has no business being SO GOOD. | ||
| Declan McKenna |
Born an Astronaut (live)
|
Zeros | 2020 | Declan McKenna and his bandmates understood the freaking assignment in this video when it comes to giving it their all during live performances! | ||
| Hozier |
We Are Young (live)
|
Cover of Fun. "We Are Young" In Some Nights | 2012 | Can you believe he's the only one playing any instruments in this video?! Like what?! He's so talented! | ||
| Them |
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (feat. Van Morrison)
|
Them Again | 1966 | I'm just obsessed with Van Morrison's voice, specifically with trying to imitate it every time I hear a song of his. | ||
| Keane |
Everybody's Changing
|
Hopes and Fears | 2004 | Keane has got to be my favourite little sad boy band from the 2000s, all their songs just have a way of hitting me right in the heart. I had to pick this one for today because I just feel like it hits especially close to home for me right now. | ||
| Vampire Weekend |
Step
|
Modern Vampires of the City | 2013 | This song is really so beautiful, but it also sorta makes me sad. Idk... I still love it so much | ||
| Radiohead |
Weird Fishes / Arpeggi
|
In Rainbows | 2007 | I know... another Radiohead song, but I swear this one is SO GOOD (like the drums? excuse me? who asked you to go so hard?) so I'm giving myself a pass on repeating the same artist twice. | ||
| George Harrison |
Behind That Locked Door
|
All Things Must Pass | 1970 | Such a beautiful song, I think I remember hearing that George Harrison wrote this song for the Beatles fans who were sad that the band had split up, and that just made me love him even more. | ||
| Leonard Cohen |
Suzanne
|
Songs of Leonard Cohen | 1967 | Seeing as my first show is here in Montreal, I wanted to pay my respects to one of the city's finest songwriters. | ||
| Shovels & Ropes, Shakey Graves |
Unknown Legend
|
Busted Jukebox, Volume 1 | 2015 | Okay so I wanted to play some Neil Young as well, another Canadian icon, but I didn't wanna be typical and play Harvest Moon so I picked Unknown Legend then realized I liked this version of the song so much better (I think it's the little harmonica solo that really does it for me here). | ||
| I Summon You |
Spoon
|
Gimme Fiction | 2005 | I just love the guitar in this song, everything about it makes me feel happy. | ||
| Sam Evian |
Apple
|
You, Foreever | 2018 | Okay full disclosure I wouldn't say this is one of my all time favourites (I just heard it recently a few weeks ago so I need a bit more time to make it official) but it's pretty and I like it a lot for sure. | ||
| John Mayer |
If I Ever Get Around to Living
|
Born and Raised | 2012 | I found this song at the beginning of the semester back in September and I just found it so comforting for some reason. I'm still on the fence about it if I like John Mayor in general (cause I know he's sketchy but I can't remember why), I just have to admit he writes some good music. | ||
| Edmund Bull |
Follow Your Dreams
|
Follow Your Dreams | 2007 | This song just warms my little heart. It also makes me think back to when I used to take violin lessons and made me think that the violin is so underrated as an instrument and deserves more attention. | ||
| Leon Bridges |
River
|
Coming Home | 2015 | This might be my favourite song of all time, it was for sure my most played song by far this year. There's just something so beautiful and flawless about his voice, and I feel like even with the simple lyrics and simple melodies it's still a song I'll never get bored of listening. | ||
| HYUKOH |
Gang Gang Schiele
|
24: How to find true love and hapiness | 2018 | I don't even know how to pronounce the full name of the song, but that doesn't really matter in any way, still such a good song | ||
| Hurricane Bells |
Monsters
|
Tonight is the Ghost | 2011 | My friend Max pulled this song from the Twilight movie (I think one of the high school scenes) and I'm so grateful for her good ears cause it was such a good catch and this song is so catchy |
