playlist: For The Drive Back Home



This month's playlist has a mix of genres; i don't use Spotify other than for blogging purposes, but this month I had some issues with itunes and discovered some songs! 2014 is coming to an end, meaning it's the festive month. I don't celebrate Christmas but the idea of it takes my breath away, I imagine driving back home to be apart of the holidays. Speaking of holidays, I'll be visiting Hong Kong with a bunch of my friends which is very exciting. I really hope you enjoy this month's unusual playlist.

I'd consider Taylor Swift & Becky G to be the odd ones from the list, but their music videos were... mesmerising. Sean O'pry was in Blank Space (◡‿◡✿) and I really liked the transitioning between scenes in Shower, it was hella smooth. Vampire Weekend's Horchata & Holiday and Birdy's White Winter Hymnal was very appropriate for December. I'll be explaining my favourite part of each song under "read more"

Prayer in C - Lily Wood and The Prick

Prayer in C - Lily Wood and The Prick:
The beat was amazing and the lyrics mildly deep

Rocket Ship - San Cisco
The starting beat was not my favourite but I loved the way he sang "Cause I'm about to board The world's first rocket"

Horchata - Vampire Weekend
"Here comes the feeling you thought you'd forgotten" left me with some thoughts

Keep It for Your Own - POP ETC 
Beat!

Holiday - Vampire Weekend
I generally loved how it sounded and it's super appropriate this month

Yellow Flickr Beat - Lorde
Mockingjay was really good omg; Lorde didn't disappoint, this song was equally as amazing.

After the Disco - Broken Bells
BEAT BEET BEATS!

Mason Jar - Smallpools
They have a all-american-boy-band vibe & "But I meant to kill this conversation, while there was still sense in my mind" sounded incredible

Radio - The Royal Concept
The entire song was so catchy! Especially the second part of the song

White Winter Hymnal - Birdy (originally Fleet Foxes)
It made me feel nostalgic for things I didn't even experience; super festive and christmasy

Blank Space - Taylor Swift
"Cause you know I love the players and you love the game" 

Shower - Becky G
I read about Becky G and actually gained a whole new level of respect for her. She's 17 and started making music solely for her family, i'm happy for her success and music video.
