Playlist Thursday // Eternal Flame

1 // Eternal Flame by The Bangles

Gilmore Girls marathon was happening on some channel and The Bangles concert episode was on. I revisited this gem from my days road tripping to yellowstone and listening to a Love Songs from the 70's, 80's, and 90's CD that my parents got at Fred Meyer. Those were the days.

2 // One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey

Oh Mariah. Oh Boyz II Men. Thanks for creating an anthem with a powerful message and the best chorus for singing in front of the mirror or on your snapchat (so dang guilty).

Can we talk about how nerdy the Boyz II Men look?

3 // Lonely Town by Brandon Flowers

GUYS. This is my jam.

4 // Between Me and You by Brandon Flowers

Tears. This song is beautiful. Anyone looking for a good wedding video song, this is it.

5 // The Way It's Always Been by Brandon Flowers

I can't help but hear so many religious allusions in this song. Ya feel me? No? Okay. It's just me then.

6 // Dreams Come True by Brandon Flowers

The ending of this song is EVERYTHING. Let's get real, this song is everything. It's ironic. It's sassy. It's sarcastic. It's hopeful.

"I've got miles per hour, lady." 
"If you see things a little different, I'm not casting any stones." 

7 // Man on Fire by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Thank you Parenthood for having the best music. I'm always shazam-ing the heck out of you.

8 // A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow by Mitch and Mickey

Has anyone else seen A Mighty Wind? Oh man, it's good. It's on Amazon Prime if you have it. I love Mockumentary style films. This one has great music too. I cried during this song and it was supposed to be cheesy and funny, but of course, I cried.

9 // First by Cold War Kids

Ooo I like his voice.

10 // Classic by MKTO

This has a stellar beat and the guys voice is so interesting. It's a quirky and little muppet-y, but I really like it. Also, he mentions getting it on like Marvin Gaye and that's sexy. So there.

11 // Honey, I'm Good by Andy Grammar

Ok so I watched the American Idol finale with my in-laws and that Nathan (Nick) idk the guy who won sang this song with Andy Grammar and it was darn catchy. I'm a sucker for claps in songs, and I'm a total sucker for the darling music video.

12 // Don't Dream It's Over by Miley Cyrus and Ariana  Grande

An amazing cover with a few f-bombs in there, so be careful. But seriously, these girls need to collab more often. Miley Cyrus is a guilty pleasure. She's crazy, but I love her. Oh and Ariana Grande's voice really is unreal.

13 // B!tch Better Have My Money by Rihanna 

Sorry mom, don't listen to this song. I can't get enough of it. I know. If you want a more wholesome version, check out Kelly Clarkson's cover, but don't read the comment section. It's infuriating and I guess you can read it if you want to see body-shaming comments. So annoying, but she rocks the song.

Don't act like you forgot, I call the shot shot shots. 

Not but really, this song is explicit so watch at your own risk. The dancing in this video is rad though.

Playlist Thursday // Jams

On the first Thursday of my time here in California, Abby invited me to a relief society activity. The activity was supposed to be "Retro" and it was. We decorated cupcakes and ate retro salads loaded with mayo and jello (and I gagged once, okay maybe twice) (no but really some of the stuff was pretty delicious), I bonded with a really sweet lady and then we made jams...

Now here are some non-edible jams you should listen to.

1 // Lonely Town by Brandon Flowers 

Brandon Flowers, what a guy. I'm jamming to this one all day long. Singing along with the choir and trying not to think about how the lyrics are slightly creepy. If you haven't checked out his new album The Desired Effect, have no fear, I'm sharing some of the songs right...now. (I didn't want to rhyme, because I didn't want tomatoes thrown at me.)

2 // The Way It's Always Been by Brandon Flowers 

THIS SONG IS CHOCK FULL OF RELIGIOUS ALLUSIONS AND IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME THEN....I don't know what would happen. GUYS JUST LISTEN TO IT AND TELL ME "WAITING FOR THE SUN TO COME AGAIN" IS NOT A RELIGIOUS ALLUSION.

3 // Can't Deny My Love by Brandon Flowers 

80's inspired. Can't deny it's the way to my heart. Ok Dani, enough.

4 // Rather Be by Clean Bandit 

This is my "lip-sync in the car and in front of the mirror and when I'm alone driving to Von's to pick up Ben and Jerry's ice cream" song.

5 // Chandelier by Sia (Piano Version) 

I listen to this about 50 times a day. Singing goals. Sia embodies all of my singing goals. How could you deny the beauty of that voice? You absolutely can't. *weeps bitterly*

Happy listening.

Playlist Thursday // Soft

//

Only soft tunes here today. Tunes so soft and so beautiful your heart aches for a chick-flick, you've got mail-induced cry-fest.

1 // Tee Shirt by Birdy 

Not even ashamed to say I heard this at DownEast Basics and couldn't get over how much I loved it. I shazamed it sooooo fast.

2 // A Case of You (Joni Mitchell cover) by James Blake 

Joni Mitchell is right up there with Stevie for me. Blue is one of the best albums ever written. It's so heart wrenching and I love it with all of my heart. This is James Blake covering it, and the whole time I'm wondering why he didn't make it big like Sam Smith...HE WAS BEFORE SAM SMITH?! Sam Smith, I know you're not the only one with the voice of an angel. See what I did there? I'm so embarrassed for myself.

3 // Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Playlist Thursday // New Glasses

So I tried #WarbyParkerHomeTryOn is that the hashtag? I have no idea! And I already knew which ones I wanted, but I did the try on anyway just to get a feel of Warby Parker, and a feel I did get and love I did find. 

These are my new glasses. Name coming soon. Style coming soon. Premiere of these glasses coming soon. They are my favorite things ever. Although they are not totally black,and although I've never seen her in tortoise glasses, I feel like Jenna Lyons. 

Right when I tried them on Ty said, "Oh, I like those! I'll have to get used to them, but I like those a lot." That's the thing about glasses, you get so used to them being on your face every day that it's like getting a whole new set of eyes. It's like welcoming a new friend to the party. It's like introducing that cooler more stylish friend to all your mediocre friends (my face ;) ;) ;)) it's like a fresh coat of paint and style. 

You may think they're over the top I think they are the greatest thing to ever happen to my face. 

Ok....one more thing though. I don't know if I can actually get them, because I don't know if Warby Parker will take my prescription. I have pretty terrible eye balls. Really great eye balls because I can still see, but they are progressively getting more blurry as the years go on, so cross your fingers and pray for me, because I need new specs, stats. The ones i have are falling apart. So pray! #PrayForDanisEyesSoTheyCanHaveNewGlassesFromWarbyParker. Spread that around, okay?

So if the stars align, a glasses unveiling will come up in a couple of weeks or like a month, but for now, here's a playlist. 

P.S. Sorry about not having links, blogger hates me tonight. Why, Blogger!? After all we've been through. You grotsky little....

1 // Sedated by Hozier 

2 // Work Song by Hozier 

3 // Take Me To Church (Hozier cover) by Ellie Goulding 

4 // Roslyn by Bon Iver feat. St. Vincent

5 // Adore You by Miley Cyrus

6 // Ten Cent Pistol by The Black Keys

7 // Ya Hey by Vampire Weekend 

Playlist Thursday // Sort of...

First, these two quotes: 

//

And this one that I found on Twitter: 

"We get so worried about being pretty. Let’s be pretty kind. Pretty funny. Pretty smart. Pretty strong.”

You could have a million followers. You could have the best hair. You could have all the riches in the world and all the people of the world flocking to be like you or get recognized by you, but if you aren't worth knowing...if you're not kind...if you're not doing good for the world, if you're not giving back...you're not worth anything. Even if you're well known.

Second, a mini playlist: 

Southern Sun by Boy & Bear 

Funny thing about this song. I heard it while shopping at The Gap a few months ago, and I didn't have time to Shazam it, or I tried to and it didn't pick up. So I went months with it stuck in my head, but I wasn't able to remember the lyrics and I was just searching and searching. Well, today I found it on Spotify. I was just sampling a playlist, and yoo-hoo it was there. Fate, I tell you. Fate. 

From Eden by Hozier 

This guy is so much more than "Take Me To Church." His music is great. His voice is butter. His soul is rad. 

Jealous by Nick Jonas 

GUYS. I don't even know why. I'm not sorry for loving this song. It makes me want to walk like three men are walking behind me. It's my jam right now. Pass judgments now if you please. 

Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson 

This song. I'm obsessed. I'm late on the bandwagon for this one. It's so groovy and like Bob Dylan said, "Either be groovy or leave, man." Plus, I LOVE how they performed it on Ellen. 

I Bet My Life by Imagine Dragons 

This song is everywhere now. Like everywhere, but it's still great. This guy has one of the best "yell-sing" voices I've ever heard. So yeahhhhh. I don't know what else to say. 

Alive by Pearl Jam 

THIS VERSION. MAAAAJOR. I used to be a 90's rock hater, now I'm a big fan thanks to being an Abbott. 

+ s t a y // g o l d

Playlist Thursday // Playlists are important

//

I'm a big believer in a solid playlist. Here's mine from the past two weeks.

1 // Soul Meets Body by Death Cab for Cutie

2 // Jealous by Nick Jonas

3 // I Want It That Way (Backstreet Boys cover) by ScottBradleeLovesYa ft. Shoshana Bean

5 // Elastic Heart by Sia 

6 // Reflections by Misterwives 

7 // World Spins Madly On by The Weepies 

(IF YOU ARE GOING TO CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS...IT BETTER BE THIS ONE. I cry a million tears every time. Every. Single. Time.)

8 // Afire Love by Ed Sheeran 

9 // Uptown Funk By Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars

HOW DID I JUST HEAR THIS SONG TWO WEEKS AGO??? Can we just call it a Michael Jackson throwback, because Michael Jackson is moon-walking in this grave over this song. So bomb.

10 // Who Knows Who Cares by Local Natives 

11 // She Treats Me Well by Ben Howard

12 // Hero by Family of the Year

13 // Mess is Mine by Vance Joy

Playlist Thursday // Cerebral

The other day Tyler told me that I like cerebral music. You know that moody stuff that really gets to your brain with dissonance and perfect harmonies at the perfect moments? Actually, I don't really know what that means, but it makes sense.

Funny thing is...I looked up cerebral in the dictionary and it said this:

Intellectual, rather than emotional or physical. 

Psh...dictionary. All of my musical is emotional.

1. Misguided Ghosts by Paramore 

2. Brothers on a Hotel Bed by Death Cab for Cutie 

3. Summer Skin by Death Cab for Cutie

4. Waiting Game by Banks 

5. Take Me to Church (Acoustic) by Hozier

6. Turning Page (Sleeping at Last cover) by Native Men 

7. Stay With Me (Sam Smith Cover) by Florence Welch 

Ugh, this is beautiful.

8. Love Me Harder by Ariana Grande

9. Sunrise by Norah Jones 

10. Stay Alive by Jose Gonzalez 

11. Thunder Clatter by Wild Cub 

12. I Bet My Life by Imagine Dragons 

Anyone else have the feeling this was written to his mom?

13. Elastic Heart by Sia 

14. That's What's Up by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Playlist Thursday: Figuring it out

p h o t o 

What am I figuring out? My life? Yes. This playlist? Perhaps. My feelings about the future and where I'm going? Always.

Today is the last day of school. It's my second to last fall semester. Next semester I will have my last Winter. And then my last Spring/Summer in California and then the last semester of college ever. I'm nervous. I'm unsure, but I have this little light of peace in my heart. Deep down in the pits of my soul. A feeling of joy and peace that always warms me up when I'm sitting in the shower over thinking things. This light keeps growing even when I'm still trying to figure things out.

The light gets brighter when every day little things happen. Things that I don't expect.

For example, yesterday was the last day of my News Reporting class and I got the awarded "Most Dependable Reporter" for the Life Desk. I almost cried. I couldn't believe it. I spent the whole semester beating down on myself, and here was someone telling me I was good. Better than good. That I was great. Great at something that I have always wanted to do. I want to write. And I want to write the way I want to write. But I learned how to work with editors and I learned how to take criticism and I learned the brutality of deadlines and news publications. I learned things that made me better. I'm one step closer. Now I have a professional portfolio and I'm just one step closer.

This feels really good. It just does. I remember being so afraid. Afraid of moving up and doing things that I'm passionate about. Being afraid can either hurt you or be a catalyst to your success. Some days I let my fear take over me, but this semester I learned to fight it and let it drive me.

I don't know if I'll ever be a successful lifestyle writer or a contributor or editor for some fancy publication that advertises minimalist clothing or Scandinavian furniture and terrariums. I don't know if I will change the way girls look at their bodies. I don't know if NYFW will ever ask me to do an interview or comment on a designers line of work. All of those things would be pretty darn great. Working for one of these beautiful websites on the internet would be a dream. Being a Man Repeller is also a dream and seeing my face on the cover of something would be another dream. I have lots of dreams, but I can make small differences here and I can be where I am right now. I can share goodness here. Dreams are good to dream, but don't forget where you are and where it's taking you. Didn't Dumbledore say something like:

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

And don't forget the people that have held you up along the way. That's one of the greatest meanings of life. The people. The ones that are helping you along the way.

And just to Christmas-fy this message...I would just like to say pass it along. Pass along the love and service and goodness. Lift where you stand. As cheesy as that sounds. Just do it. Don't forget to give back.

Because I have been given much, I too must give. 

And now for a playlist full of songs that invoke contemplation and daydreams of good books, trees, rainy days, and coffee shop bagels.

1 // Turning Page by Native Men (Sleeping at Last cover)

Karly Jade, I just want you to know that I love you and I am so grateful for your friendship and your really great taste for beautiful music. 

2 // She Treats Me Well by Ben Howard 

Tyler, I sometimes I replace the "she" with "he". Thanks for treating me well. 

3 // River by Cee-Lo Green (Joni Mitchell cover) 

Mom and Dad, this song makes me miss you so much I can't breathe, but I am grateful that you aren't far away. I know this Christmas I won't be with you and I'd like to get a river to skate away on, but I need to remember my new family and that you will always be my family. Sometimes I forget that. Merry Christmas you two. I love you. Thanks for all the other Christmases. I promise to be a the best daughter-in-law to the Abbotts. 

4 // Run to You by Pentatonix 

To my baby girl. Thanks for showing me this gem. You showed it to me at a time where I felt really hopeless about school work and finals and everything school related. 

5 // Higher Love by Steve Winwood

To everyone who has brought "higher love" to me and who will bring it in the future. 

Now let's jam. 

+ s t a y // g o l d 

Playlist Thursday // Same old songs, different day

Ugh. This album cover is the dreamiest. I want to go be a bohemian gypsy woman now. Is that too much to ask? Yeah probably. 

No but really. Don't act all surprised. You know the songs are all the same.

1 // Dreams by Fleetwood Mac 

Favorite song of all time. Yes it is. Straight up. I think I've said this fifty times, but I just can't get over it. It's lyrically beautiful. Stevie's voice is like the total essence of smoky folky. She's like a witch and I love it. I know, so creepy and weird but Stevie Nicks is my spirit animal, right along with Pocahontas.

2 // Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac 

I mean, she even straight up says she's a gypsy! Sing it, Stevie.

3 // Landslide by Fleetwood Mac 

"Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I've built my life around you. But time makes you bolder, even children get older, and I'm getting older too." 

4 // Oh Daddy by Fleetwood Mac

5 // I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt 

"I can't make you love me, if you don't. You can't make your heart feel something it won't." 

This song is incredibly gut-wrenching. I remember when I was young and dramatic...oh wait. Anyway, yeah when I was in love with this guy in high school and I thought he loved me too, but wah waaaah of course he didn't. I abused this song. Like I played it until it couldn't be played anymore. (Was that too soon to use the "abuse" word?)

6 // Conrad by Ben Howard

7 // I Forget Where We Were by Ben Howard

Oh, hey,
I wasn't listening
I was watching Syria blinded by the sunshine strip
You, you were in the kitchen
Oh, your mariner’s mouth the wounded with the wounder's whip

And that's how summer passed oh,
The great divide and range of green green grass
Oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew

Hello love, my invincible friend
Hello love, the thistle and the burr
Hello love, for you I have so many words
But I, I forget where we were

Oh, hey,
I wasn't listening,
I was stung by all of us, the blind leading out the bored
And as per usual,
You were skipping and laughing eyes at the bedroom door

This song, you guys. I can't even. I just can't. I have listened to it like 20 times a day. 

8 // End of the Affair by Ben Howard

9 // Afire Love by Ed Sheeran

"And my father and all of my family rise from their seats to sing hallelujah."

The end of this song is the best.

10 // Beth/Rest by Bon Iver

"I ain't living in the dark no more, it's not a promise I'm just gonna call it." 

What are you listening to?

Playlist Thursday // Higher Love

p h o t o 

Have you heard of Vance Joy? Tyler showed me his popular hit "Riptide" a long time ago. Now he has an album out. It's called Dream Your Life Away and it's perfectly beautiful. I highly recommend it and the other songs featured in this playlist. Enjoy!

1 // Winds of Change by Vance Joy

My favorite from the album.  

I miss you more than you could know. I watch the grass on the back lawn grow, and I will not allow winds of change to blow. And I hope you decide to come back home. Cause this heavy heart, oh, how it's yearned. Cause I've been alone far too long. When are you coming home, my love? My love!"

2 // Mess is Mine by Vance Joy 

Kid you not, the beginning of this song is so beautiful. It makes me want to cry. I mean, everything makes me want to cry. 

"Talking like we used to do. It was always me and you. Shaping up and shipping out. Check me in and check me out. When you think of love, do you think of pain? You can tell me what you see. I will choose what I believe. This body is yours. This body is yours and mine. Well hold on, my darling. This mess was yours, now your mess is mine." 

3 // December, 1963 by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons

This song is beyond the catchiest songs of all time. I mean, I gotta soul train to this shiz.

4 // Higher Love by Steve Winwood 

Just be-freakin-cause. 

5 // Dreams by Fleetwood Mac

This is quite possibly my favorite song of all time. I think it has been in almost every single one of my playlist thursday posts. I love it. 

"Thunder only happens when it's raining, players only play you when their playing. Say women they will come and they will go. When the rain washes you clean, you'll know." 

Here's a beautiful cover, too!

6 // Lego House by Ed Sheeran 

Ed Sheeran, uuuuugggggh. Ron Weasley....I mean Rupert Grint uuuuuggggh.

"I'm out of touch, I'm out of love. I'll pick you up when you're getting down. And out of all these things I've done, I think I'll love you better now."

7 // Forever Young by Alphaville 

Anyone else think of Napoleon Dynamite? Anyone else get slighty misty-eyed? Don't lie. 

Can we also talk about the synthesizer trumpet solo? So rad. 

"Some are like water some are like the heat, some are the melody some are the beat... Sooner or later they all will be gone why don't they stay young?"

1 // Midnight by Coldplay 

I really love the sound of this song. It is absolutely beautiful. Plus, I thought it was Bon Iver. Don't get me wrong, I love Coldplay's original sound, but this also works for them.

2 //  Gotta Get Away by The Black Keys

Catchy with great lyrics. Who could ask for more? Dan Auerbach, people.
