Music is a large part of my life as many of you well know. So, I thought it would be interesting to share with you the songs that have, over the years, worked themselves onto my "I can listen to these songs on repeat so much that other people get annoyed with them" Playlist. The list follows as such (in no particular order):

Here's where I will stop for many reasons. For one, the list goes on for quite a bit further. For another, I feel like any more will just dampen the point of how music means a lot to me. Ask my brother, I sing all the time and especially in the car (no matter who is riding with me). I can't help it. I play piano, guitar, and I play bass clarinet and . . . well, I just love music.
Some of the groups/singers I really like a lot are Ellie Goulding, Panic at the Disco, Team Starkid, Hudson Taylor, Coldplay, Mumford and Sons, Charlene Kaye, and George Watksy. Pretty much all of their songs are some of my favorites. I've just chosen some of my favorite-favorite for the list.
It is my belief that any song can be the most beautiful song if sung at the right tempo by the right people. Some people can just transform music into a beautiful masterpiece and when you find a song that speaks to you that, that is magic.
