You can also search me in the people tab: reynemw and look at all of my playlists. I make one for every post.

1. Swimming With Dolphins—“Silhouettes”

Pretty vocals, fun dance beat, relaxing, wish I was on the beach but maybe this time of the year it makes me want to run in deep snow.  :) This song also features Breanne Duren who is on tour with Owl City but you can search her on myspace.com, she has a very beautiful voice!

2.  Silversun Pickups---“Lazy Eye”

Not a recent release but a good one.  I remember the first time I heard this song, I saw this video.  I was hooked from listen one.

3. The Used---“Blue and Yellow”

Very catchy, pretty awesome, and a great car song!

4. Rocket To The Moon---"I'll Be Your Sunset"
I love any song that talks about sunsets :) Another fave is The Spill Canvas "Sunsets and Car Crashes" They are Beautiful!

5. One Republic--- "All The Right Moves"
I don't listen to One Republic often but they are growing on me.  I love this video as well, and it has a very catchy sound.
Watch Video Here

6. MGMT---"Time to Pretend"
This song is the opening of 21, if you haven't seen it you need to!  It makes you wanna just let go and go to VEGAS!!!  :) So this video is fan made (clips of BBC planet earth, really awesome!) you can watch the original but it is a little odd.  I saw the video before 21 and the video sort of turned me off to the song at first.  I do love how original and fun MGMT is though!!


7. Stacy Clark--- "Unusual"
You need to go to my grooveshark playlist and listen to this or go to her MYSPACE and listen.  She is so amazing!! I love her voice and her lyrics are incredible.  She is worth a listen :)

8.  Mutemath---"Progress"
Just listen to the words!  Beautiful ambient sound, one of my life anthems.  Mutemath has a way of hitting the spot.  I do believe they are one of the most amazing bands of all time in my opinion.  INCREDIBLE.


9. Shawn McDonald---"Captivated"
I heard this on the way to work this morning. I loved how it just made me feel happy and grateful. Shawn has a very mellow relaxing sound that is great to lean on after a stressful day.


10. Making April---"These Are The Nights"
I give credit to my sister Becca for this song! :) When you search for it, make sure you look for the acoustic version. I have the original on my grooveshark playlist but the original is worth checking out.

11. Switchfoot---"Always"
This band will always have a special place in my heart. I thought this one fit the feel of this playlist very well.


I hope you love this music as much as I do. Each one is just a suggestion and I understand if it doesn't sound the same to you as it does to me. I hope you have fallen in love with at least one song on here. :) ENJOY. Oh and don't forget to check me out at Grooveshark, and the name of this playlist is: Live and Breathe my user name is reynemw

1. Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova (Swell Season)--"Falling Slowly
From the movie "Once" and incredibly touching.


2. Brand New--"Tautou"
Interesting video, but awesome nonetheless


3. Copeland--"Testing the Strong Ones"
This video is NOT by Copeland, but the song is. I just wanted you to be able to listen :)


4. This Providence--"Catching my Breath"
I am totally falling in love with them!


5. LIGHTS--"Ice"
She is amazing!


6. Snow Patrol--"Open Your Eyes"

You tube wouldn't let me embed it, beautiful!

7. Owl City "Tip of the Iceberg"
One of my absolute favorite songs right now, perfect winter song. :)


8. Further Seems Forever--"Snowbirds and Townies"
Watch video HERE
This is from the album "The Moon Is Down" (one of my all time fave albums). I love the song and the video. They are now broken up and every album they recorded had a different lead singer. This song it is Chris Carraba (most commonly known as Dashboard Confessional)...he is amazing on this album, trust me!


I am going to go ahead and end it there.  Hope you enjoyed it, I know it was kind of random but that is how I choose my songs ha ha ha...I just go with it!

so much to choose from playlist

I started posting a lot of music suggestions on Facebook, one of my friends commented that I should be hired as a music encourager.  Thanks Bev, I thought that was a good idea.  I decided that it could be fun to just start writing about the music I love and maybe it could help someone else like it helps me.
Let me know if you like it!

Generally I get very overwhelmed when I go to decided what to listen to, there is so much to choose from!!
I am just going to start with some stuff that I have discovered recently.  One website that has been very helpful to me is Grooveshark.  You can create playlists, choose from an amazing variety, listen to the entire song, and upload a library to share.  As you are listening they provide a link for you to download the MP3 on ITUNES or AMAZON.  This will be a very helpful way for you to check out some of my suggestions.
