There are two ways I find new music: PANDORA.com (customized radio that is amazing!) & I go on itunes and look at Genius or I search an artist I like and then scroll down to see what others bought. I have found some amazing new music this way.
That is how I found Band of Horses (both Pandora & itunes) they have just stuck. Their new video "Laredo" premiered today so I thought I would share. I also made a widget of a few songs I adore by them. Hope you enjoy!

Summer (So Far) Playlist
DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT, I LIKE KNOWING WHO IS READING. =)
I just discovered that I can create widgets from my grooveshark playlist and place them here on my blog! I am very excited because now I do not have to play the You Tube game! I may still post videos now and then, but only the cool ones! If I were you I would just push play on the playlist right away, I wrote so much this time! I think I am making up for not posting in over a month!
My disclaimer on this one is that it is rather eclectic so if you don't like a song you hear just skip it because the next one could quite possibly sound completely different.
I chose songs that I have been listening to A LOT or that I just love for different reasons. I am all about lyrics and I have had to make some difficult decisions this summer. I am moving home with my parents for a bit, I am excited but the decision took a lot of thought. These songs reflect that in some ways. I also have been digging ones that make me want to dance.
Enjoy,
Reyne
So you may need to give the playlist a minute to load, I have found that it can be a bit slow. Hope you are able to hear it ok!
Summer Summer by The Almost
One of my favorite bands of all time is Underoath. They are what many people would label as Emo Screamo so I know that aren't for everyone. I let myself get stressed very easily so they are great for just letting that out. I feel like I can channel my emotion through the music I am listening to. Anyways The Almost is a side project of Aaron's who just recently left the band, he was their drummer for quite a few years. I saw them about 5 years ago and I got a small crush on Aaron, I enjoy everything he has a hand in musically.
This song is very summery, I love the lyrics.
Little Secrets by Passion Pit
These guys rock my world! I was listening to their album "Manners" and it is great. This song make me wanna dance or go for a bike ride: both very good things!
In My Veins by Andrew Belle
Beautiful. Constantly on repeat! I just relax to this song.
LYRICS:
Nothing goes as planned
Everything will break
People say goodbye
In their own special way
All that you can rely on
And all that you could fake
Will leave you in the morning
Come find you in the day
Oh, you’re in my veins, and I cannot get you out
Oh, you’re all I taste, at night inside of my mouth
Oh, you run away, cause I am not what you found
Oh, you’re in my veins, and I cannot get you out
Everything will change
Nothing stays the same
Nobody is perfect
Oh, but everyone is to blame
All that you rely on
And all that you can save
Will leave you in the morning
Will find you in the day
Oh, you’re in my veins, and I cannot get you out
Oh, you’re all I taste, at night inside of my mouth
Oh, you run away, cause I am not what you found
Oh, you’re in my veins, and I cannot get you out
No I cannot get you out
No I cannot get you out
Oh no, I cannot get you out
No I cannot get you out
Everything is dark
It’s more than you could take
But you catch a glimpse of sunlight
Shining
Shining down on your face
Your face
On your face
Ocean Night Song by Laura Veirs
I adore her. I listened to this one on the plane home from a weeklong trip, it was bittersweet. I want to be on the beach, too bad Idaho is landlocked!
Monster by Lady GaGa
Love or hate her....this song is so amazing. It is dedicated to Nathan, we listened to this song NONSTOP while were on our many adventures in CO. I miss you!
This song will forever be one of my theme songs to this summer. =)
My Love by Sia
It may be on the Eclipse soundtrack but I really enjoy the feeling of this song. It's gorgeous.
Hills and Valleys by The Rocket Summer
I have revisited my love for The Rocket Summer this Summer! =) This guy rocks and I love how uplifting his lyrics are. I just got his most recent album: "Of Men and Angels", it is sooooo good! I put him on all of my running playlists, very upbeat it gets me pumped to run.
Alaska by Sky Sailing
This one is for the Owl City fans! Adam Young is Owl City, and I guess he made some tunes before that. He gave himself the name Sky Sailing at that time. He just released an album, "An Airplane Carried Me to Bed", its amazing! He has more acoustic guitar on this compared to Owl City, but it still feels like Adam Young, it will just make you happy.
Leap Year by Maria Taylor
I discovered this while listening to Pandora, I am in LOVE with her voice. This song is gorgeous.
Some Crap About the Furniture by PlayRadioPlay!
Listen to his album, "Texas", I love almost every song on it.
Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap
This song is in 500 Days of Summer, I love it! Its a good driving song, and their album, "Conditions", its definitely worth listening to!
Diamonds by Breathe Carolina
I don't know why, I am in love with this song! The first time I heard it I put it on repeat for at least 5 times in a row. It's a guilty pleasure I guess. =)
Boys (Lesson One) by Jars of Clay
Quite a few Jars of Clay songs have given me peace over the years. This one is from one of their latest albums THE LONG FALL BACK TO EARTH. The lyrics resonate with me, they are so true to my life!
LYRICS:
Lesson one - do not hide
Lesson two - there are right ways to fight
And if you have questions
We can talk through the night
So you know who you are
And you know what you want
I've been where you're going
And it's not that far
it's too far to walk
But you don't have to run
you'll get there in time
Lesson three - you're not alone
Not since I saw you start breathing on your own
You can leave, you can run, this
will still be your home
So you know who you are
And you know what you want
I've been where you're going
And it's not that far
it's too far to walk
But you don't have to run
you'll get there in time
Get there in time
In time, to wonder where the days have gone
In time, to be old enough to
wish that you were young
When good things are unraveling,
bad things come undone
You weather love and lose your innocence
There will be liars and
thieves who take from you
Not to undermine the consequence
But you are not what you do
And when you need it most
I have a hundred reasons why I love you
If you weather love and lose your innocence
Just remember - lesson one
