1. Tiptoe by Imagine Dragons
"From your slender dream see the morning dream. Sink into the soul, watch the water go. They won’t feel it like who can blame them?"
I will admit, a lot of people told me to listen to this song when Imagine Dragons' new album came out. I kinda didn't. I ignored it and didn't start listening to it until this week. Well I was missing out. I really want to see them in concert now, too bad I just missed the most recent one in SLC.
2. Warrior by Mark Foster, A-Trak, and Kimbra
"But I know I'm made for more!
What am I thinking? (If you're so sure it's rational)
While the worlds shrinking? (but that don't make it logical)
What am I thinking? (If you say I'm just an animal)
I feel like I'm sinking (you can't explain away the way I feel! )
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They tell you, 'Trust your head, be like men' but never feel like you're good enough)
You keep crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love!)"
Kimbra and Mark Foster should collaborate more often. Also, I love it when she kicks the muchachos butt at the end. You go girl and keep singing like a soulful song bird.
3. How To Be a Heartbreaker by Marina and the Diamonds
"Rule number one, is that you gotta have fun. But baby when you're done, you gotta be the first to run."
This one's for the ladies in the swimming pool. You know what I mean.
4. Heartbeats (Jose Gonzalez cover) by Scala & Kolacny Brothers
"Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors, red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love"
Pure beauty.
5. Somebody That I Used to Know (KLAR and PF Remix by Gotye feat. Kimbra
I am pretty sure I am Gotye's only loyal fan now. Who cares if he's a one hit wonder. Seriously this song is great and this remix only makes it greater. Uh, 80's anyone? Beth/Rest anyone? Yes. Can I just listen to this song every single day? It's perfect for a night drive. It's amazing. Just listen, you won't be sorry.
6. Sun by Two Door Cinema Club
"I built a hive, became one with the bees. But we fell like rain. Got lost into the sea. If I don't know. The wind will carry me. So just hold tight."
Can I just say that Two Door Cinema Club is quickly becoming one of my favorite bands? They are. I am falling in love.
So that's all for today, but tomorrow I have some songs to feature in my favorites. I would add them right now, but it's currently 12:35 AM. It is time for bed. So stay tuned for more music tomorrow. Happy listening lovelies. Stay golden!

Playlist Thursday: Feelings
Thursday, September 27, 2012
Uh... so basically this whole week I listened to Gotye Live on Letterman, Bon Iver's concert at Radio City Music Hall, and Mumford & Sons new album Babel. Not even kidding, but I have a playlist of individual songs I've listened to as well. Enjoy and expect a whole playlist about Mumford's new album soon!
1. Swim Good by Frank Ocean
"I'm about to drive in the ocean. I'ma try to swim from something bigger than me. Kick off my shoes and swim good, and swim good. Take off this suit and swim good, and swim good, good."
Frank Ocean? Yes. Me gusta. Don't hate.
2. Climax by Usher
"We made a mess of what used to be love. So why do I care, I care at all?"
Uh, so stop blushing at the title of this song please! It's Usher what do you expect? Thank you! When Valley Boy goes through a R&B music phase, you do too. It happens.
3. 1000 Words by Nobuo Uematsu
A little change of pace...I have always been a HUGE fan of the Final Fantasy games and the soundtracks. Listen and love.
4. Autumn Leaves by Ed Sheeran
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Aw, yes another Ed Sheeran song. His voice is gold. Pure gold.
5. Nothing Left to Say/ Rocks by Imagine Dragons
"My age has never made me wise, but I keep pushing on and on and on and on."
"Timber timber, we’re falling down. Let the forest hear us out."
Feelings. Lots and lots of feelings.
6. Begin Again by Taylor Swift
"But I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end."
Even more feelings. So many feelings. Favorite song by Taylor Swift right now. All-time favorite. I said this on my tumblr, it knocked "Ours" off of the top. It reminds me so much of her beginnings. I love songs like that remind you of good ol times, even if they are bittersweet love songs.
One more thing...
So this one time I asked a bunch of my close friends what their favorite songs were. I made a big list, and then....I left it at home when I moved away to college. So...if you would like to you should totally comment with your favorite songs. I love sharing music that my friends recommend to me. I am also thinking about making a "Dani's All-Time Favorite Songs" Playlist. What do you think? Can I do it? It might be slightly difficult. I have a lot of favorites. We'll see, we'll see.
What have you been listening to recently? What music inspires you? Comment below and have a lovely day.

Playlist Thursday
Thursday, July 26, 2012
1. Night Drive by Gotye
"And the highway lines pass by in two/four double-time. And we don't even recognize a single name on the street signs."
I really love the sound of his voice in this song. It's mellow and easy going. If I need to chill, I'll listen to this. Also, I love the way he sings this line, "And I don't know just where we're going..." It's so good.
2. Tightrope by Walk the Moon
"I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this heart is burning up."
Walk the Moon is now one of my favorite bands. Check out their new self-titled album Walk the Moon.
3. Passion Pit's new album Gossamer
Just listen to all it. The whole album is great. Great, great, great Passion Pit music. If you love Passion Pit you have to love this album. I am now on a Passion Pit kick. Favorites from Gossamer are "Take a Walk", "Carried Away", and "Constant Conversations".
4. Love More (Justin Vernon cover) by Sharon Van Etten
"I thought that we were fine... then the day was night."
Um. Incredibly beautiful. The harmonies send shivers down my spine. I am a sucker for good harmonies. So, so, so, beautiful. Listen to both versions.
Comment below with your playlist this week! Do you have any favorites to share with me? Happy listening!

Playlist Thursday: 5 Songs
Thursday, June 21, 2012
Okay, I'm going to be straight up with ya'll. I haven't listened to a lot of new things this week. To make this playlist easier to write and so much shorter. I really have just been listening to Bon Iver's albums Bon Iver and For Emma, Forever Ago. I really recommend those. ALWAYS. Also, Gotye's album Making Mirrors. That whole record is just amazing. Some songs are so weird but they hook you so fast. I don't know how he does it. Thank you, Wally de Backer and Justin Vernon for your music that just completes me. So yes, Gotye and Bon Iver have made up most of my week since last Sunday, but have no fear I do have a fear new things to share with you.
1. Heavy Cross by Gossip
This song was a Free iTunes Download of the week, and being me, I snatched it up. It sat on my iPod with zero plays until I saw a Dior Commercial. Um...it was PERFECT! I was like what is this song? I need it. So I went on my google search and found out that it was Heavy Cross...and it was one of those glorious moments where you realize you already have the song. Sometimes all it takes is Charlize Theron, and a bunch of CGI'd old movie stars like Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly to get you to love a song. Oh and Dior...you can't forget Dior.*drool*
2. Learnalilgivinanlovin' by Gotye
NOT from Making Mirrors, but from his album Like Drawing Blood. I kind of just want to get up and dance when I hear this song. It is just that groovy.
"Learn a little givin’ and lovin’
It’s been done before
C’mon, do it again!
Cause, if it’s good
Then you should share it round
What’s the use of keeping
all the good things that you’ve found to yourself?
3. Tomorrow by Niki & the Dove
Like my friend Karly described it, "This song is a little different...Kinda like Passion Pit and Phoenix meet the B-52’s. I really like it. And it’s a love song. Ohhhh yeah."
4. Wake Up by Arcade Fire
Sometimes the kid you really like gives you music recommendations and the music makes you like him even more. What a catch.
"If the children don't grow up,
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to rust.
I guess we'll just have to adjust."
5. Friends and Lovers by Incubus
If there is such a thing...there is a delicate intensity to this song. His voice is so tender but at points it gets so raw and intense. Like he's pleading or something. Sometimes you fall in love with your best friend, and I think that's how it should be. Even if people don't think it's right.
"What's wrong with you is good for what's wrong with me
and I think maybe we should stick together"
Next week, I plan on doing something a little bit different. I have been asking people what their favorite songs are and why they love them. I have gotten several answers and I want to share the songs with you. I love hearing what other people love to listen to. I find so many treasures in the music tastes of my friends. So I am excited to be sharing favorite songs from my dear friends. Happy listening everybody. Comment below with your playlist this week.

Playlist Thursday- That's not an alliteration!
Thursday, May 24, 2012
I figured out what I wanted to post for Thursdays! As you can tell, it's a playlist! I love music and I love sharing music that I love with others. Want to see two previous playlists? Go to my tumblr where I originally posted them. If we don't have the same taste in music...I'm sorry. I am always willing to hear something new though, so you should tell me some of your favorite songs at the moment! One more thing before I get started, I will try to post links to every song or the album they come from, but if I forget, they are all VERY easy to find on Spotify, Youtube, or any other music app you might have.
1. Somebody That I Used to Know- Gotye feat. Kimbra
I think I will NEVER get tired of this song. I like the original and the original only.
2. Eyes Wide Open- Gotye
3. I Feel Better- Gotye
4. In Your Light- Gotye
5. Bronte- Gotye
As you can see I have really been loving me some Gotye this week...practically this whole month. All of the songs above are from his new album Making Mirrors.
Every single one of these songs shows that he can sing just about any style. It's really awesome. He is so much more than "Somebody.."
6. If Only I- Jon Mclaughlin
I LOVE his voice, plus he sings "So Close" from Enchanted. If you loved that song I think you will love his other songs. I actually have a link of this for you. It is my favorite song at the moment and I decided to tell the tumblr world about it.
7. Rules- Jayme Dee
This song is from the album The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond.
I love the whole album because it embodies the Hunger Games so well, but this song really sticks out to me. I want Jayme Dee to release an album because I would listen in a heartbeat.
8. Beautiful- Brett Hite
I cannot get this one out of my head. Brett Hite...you're a ginger and you're very good looking. Let's be friends. You can sing to me all day and I will bake you cookies or somethin'. If you doubt me...listen.
Well that's all for today. Hope you all find something you might like. Remember to comment below with your favorite songs at the moment. Then stay tuned tomorrow for my Friday Favorites.
