One of the great things about being surround by amazing bloggers is that I’m often inspired by them. Lauren from Viciously Sweet makes some pretty rockin’ doodles, and I did my best to make her proud in my last post. Recently I had a light bulb moment thanks to Ruthie over at Just Rambling. She put up a post outlining a few random things about herself one of which was that she listens to music 39 hours a day. Her love of music is so strong that she defies time!
It got me thinking as to how important music really is to me. From hip hop to oldies to classic rock to 80’s to Top 40, I love it all. It makes my morning and evening commutes bearable, fuels all of my workouts, has gotten me through breakups, and travels with me on road trips. I’ve also found that I cannot be without it when I write. Something about the melodies dancing in my ears gets my brain revved up and ready for the writing process.
I thought it would be fun to share “the songs behind the posts” from the past week. To save you from having to dig through dozens of songs, I narrowed down my list to the tracks I found myself coming back to over and over again.
Here are my Top 10 songs from the past week:
Ellie Goulding- Lights
Jason Derulo- Breathing
Kimbra- Cameo Lover
Goapele- Play
Melanie Fiona- Monday Morning
Rihanna- Talk That Talk
Lana Del Rey- Born to Die
LCD Soundsystem- I Can Change
Chromeo- Fancy Footwork
David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj- Turn Me On
