so last week we saw the movie begin again. it was great. really great. the highlight being the beautiful music, just beautiful, "most of it" written by gregg alexander (whatever exactly that means haha).
the theme song, "lost stars", is fantastic. (and it does not hurt that it's sung by adam levine... that falsetto…) it made me so sad that the movie came out months ago and i had never heard it. sometimes it gets me worked up how hard the music industry is fighting against giving people what they want. this is what we want.
anywhoo… the melody is gorgeous and will be in your head for days after hearing it once. and it inspired me to start a little archive of my favorite melodies. i made clips of my favorite melodies within songs and made a little list. i've only begun to scratch the surface, but i've had so much fun so far:)
what are some melodies that really speak to you? trust me once you start thinking you'll get yourself in a tizzy trying to think of everything at once as they duel in your mind trying to vie for first place in your heart. just give in now and realize that 1) as you start this list there will be so many that you forget in the moment but later when you remember them they will forgive you:) 2) there is room in your heart for more than one favorite. 3) keep reminding yourself that there is plenty of time left to continue adding installments so it's best to cap it at something for the moment or you'll keep going forever hehe:) i capped it at 6… and then 10… and then 15. (i mean really, who was i kidding?) i tried to up it to 16 but i could not manage to pick just one passenger song. seriously every single melody is prettier than the next. and his voiccceeee… but like i said, i know i haven't even scratched the surface, i mean i haven't even really consulted my 'favorite songs list' yet, but there is no rush. soak up each perfect note<3
eventually i'll start a favorite lyrics list too. (i'm getting excited just thinking about it:D and yes, i also have a running 'favorite lyrics list' that will be consulted even though it's sadly neglected quite often:'()
so in no particular order, here are the first 15 of many many many beautiful melodies to come in my "archives"
the truth- kris allen chances are you haven't heard this… you mad now?
vanilla twilight- owl city couldn't decide if i should put the beginning or the end, both parts are magical… so i eenie meenied it
fix you- coldplay no brainer… although i should've put on the live version, i like it so much better
still young- neon trees ah love it
falling slowly- once should've put kris allen's version but still a perfect melody if there ever was one
glowing- the script soooooooo hard to pick one of theirs, they are incredible. incredible expect many more from them on here
this is our story- shrek loved it before we did it and then i got to sing it:) score
unwoken dream- justin nozuka can't find a peaceful, magical, mystical, perfect enough word for this. go listen to the whole song. right now. it will carry you to a whole other world, i promise
the kids- b.o.b. i just love this. i think it's a remake??? i'm just not feelin google right now… and i'm ok with that
why- secondhand serenade *sigh* how many times have i fallen asleep to this little treasure? the world may never know… or care

story- maroon 5 beautiful beautiful beautiful… no not your face, adam… ok you got me
how bout a dance- bonnie and clyde this can't be on without sining along. it's so wonderful…(for me, not the neighbors)
lighters- bruno mars no words necessary. if we have ever had a conversation i've probably mentioned this song. i would marry it.
