My New Year Playlist

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!

I haven't posted in far too long! With all of the new year buzz I figured I might as well post a playlist dedicated to just that.
The main thing I focus on every year is to always stay positive, get into a solid routine, and always know that everything happens for a reason. :)

Happy Listening!

1. "The New Year" by Death Cab For Cutie
Perfect song to either toast in the new year to or just contemplate thoughts of the future.


2. "New Years Project" by Further Seems Forever
This is a very personal favorite that I am pretty sure hit over 100 plays on my itunes, when I saw that I realized hmmmmmm I must really like this song! I listen to this when I need a pick me up---sometimes you just need to give up everything to actually gain something. Oh and the vocals on this one come from Chris Carrabba (also known as Dashboard Confessional)...this is a pretty old song.


3. "Comes and Goes (In Waves)" by Greg Laswell
Just a favorite I cannot stop listening to! Whenever I listen to this song later I am sure it will make me think of what my life was in the end of 2009 beginning of 2010.


4. "1901" by Phoenix
Fits my stay positive goal...I can't help but feel happy & motivated when this tune is heard.


5. "Pressing On" by Relient K
Another personal favorite. This song has helped me through more than I could ever imagine. I tend to let lots of things just put me into overload...those of you who know me know very well that I very driven by emotions. This song grounds me and tells me to put all the garbage behind me.


6. "Don't Slow Down" by Copeland
Keep moving!


7."In These Arms" by The Swell Season
A current listen as of late. I love the simple beauty this one has to offer. It has gorgeous vocals and lyrics. I am in LOVE.


8. "Jump In" by Making April
Don't hold back.


9. "Let Go" by Frou Frou
One of my favorite songs of all time...go watch GARDEN STATE!


10. "We Are Going To Be Friends" by Jack Johnson (or The White Stripes...which ever you prefer)
My perfect teacher song...maybe this year?

live and breathe playlist

I have created a playlist on Grooveshark for this particular post.  It is easy to set up an account and you can just hit play.  :)  Search: live and breathe and then click the playlists tab, it should say by reynemw.  Let me know if you have any problems. 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
