A blog cultivated by Annabelle Barrow & she's kind of embarrassed about it, but not enough to stop posting and delete the thing.

Day 31:

The last song you heard in public

Daylight - Maroon 5

I can't remember if Daylight was the last song in their set, but it was close to last. I went to this concert on the 26th! It was pretty darn good.

Day 29:

A song from your childhood
Two Princes - Spin Doctors
Chris Barron is really, really cool. He tweeted me once! I was embarrassing, but it's all I've got. And he follows me on twitter. Badass.

Money

So nobody is allowed to say that money can't buy you friends. Did anybody even say that in the first place? Anyway, I have proof that you totally can buy friends.
This is the highest award for this kickstarter & to me it's saying, hey if you want to pay for a third of the goal for this project then we can hang out, and maybe even be bros.
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the dude that is behind this kickstarter and I would definitely buy his friendship if I had an extra $10000.

Day 17:

A song that you hear often on the radio

Thrift Shop - Macklemore

I do not like this song... yet. But i'm sure it'll grow on me. Video is good tho.

Thursday, March 14

Day 14:

A song that no one would expect you to love


Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Maybe it's not that surprising that I love this song, seeing as how I'm from Alabama and all. BUT maybe it is.

Day 13:

A song that is a guilty pleasure

One Time - Justin Bieber

I know it's cool to hate Justin Bieber, but remember when he was this pesky kid singing about love. Now he's weird. I love this song though.


EDIT:
March 14, 2013 3:31PM

There's no way of knowing that this is actually Justin Bieber posting. If it is though, he seems like somebody I could be bros with.


On the topic of guilty pleasures:
I certainly do not feel guilty for liking Justin Bieber's songs because I don't give a fuck. "Who cares?"
Reiterated by the Rock God Dave Grohl HERE. It's a speech he gave at SXSW and he is a brilliant man. I forget sometimes how much of a badass he is. He talks about guilty pleasure at about 40:00 in the video.

Day 11:

A song from your favourite band

Stubborn Love - The Lumineers


Alright so I have 2 favorite bands and I've already posted so many Walk the Moon songs. Here's one from the brilliant Lumineers.

Day 10:

A song that makes you fall asleep

Blanket for a Sail
Way out on the ocean
Far beyond the seven seas
There's a tiny little boat
Faith is keeping her afloat
And a tiny little skipper with his worn and tattered coat
You see the law of the ocean
Says you shall never fail
Use your heart as a rudder
Faith as a compass
And a blanket for a sail
Sleep for the weary
Dreams for us all
Rest your head on a pillow
And I'll tell you a tale
Use your heart as a blanket
And a blanket for a sail

I always loved hearing my mom sing this to me. She sang it in a really peaceful way that made me want to fall asleep, not in an omg this is so boring I'm falling asleep kind of way. She heard it from a CD of rock stars singing lullabies, but the guy who sings this doesn't sing it right. Only mom.

Day 08:

A song that you know all the words to

Semi-Charmed Kind Of Life - Third Eye Blind

This was the first song that I consciously learned all the words to. I remember printing off the lyrics and listening to this song on repeat on my portable cd player. My parents were concerned because this song had some risqué subject matter, but I honestly had no idea what Teb was talking about. I was like in the 4th grade or something. I just really liked how fast the lyrics were and I loved to annoy my parents with the do do do do do do do do's.
And yes, I still know all the words.

Day 07:

A song that reminds you of a certain event

Sink, Florida, Sink - Against Me!
Battle of the Bands. Must've been my junior year. I don't know if one of the bands played this song or if I remember this song because AK listened to it a lot and some of his friends were in the battle of the bands thing and we went to watch them play. Either way.

Wednesday, March 6

Day 06:

A song that reminds you of somewhere

I thought of a better one.
You Know How I Do - Taking Back Sunday

This one reminds me of a place that's not really a place anymore because a couple years ago it was paved over. The cotton field from my back yard.

Day 05:

A song that reminds you of someone

Youth of the Nation - P.O.D.

I remember listening to the radio a lot as a kid. This song was on the radio constantly in the early 2000's. Alexander was pretty young. Less than 5. He used to always sing random stuff. Usually it was a song that he'd made up on his own. Sometimes though, he would sing this song. He would sing "B. O. B. O. Kids of the nation!" It was always really funny because I, being the highly intelligent older sister that I was, knew that he was totally butchering the lyrics. Also, he kept saying B.O. Body odor was hilarious when I was in elementary school. Good times.


Fun fact that I learned while researching the title of this song (it seems a lot of people thought it was kids of the nation), P.O.D. is a Christian metal band. Huh.

Day 04:

A song that makes you sad

Hello, I'm in Delaware - City & Colour

Sad and slow. Reminds me of old friends and times past. Dallas Green's voice is so haunting.

Sunday, March 3

Day 03:

A song that makes you happy

Quesadilla - Walk the Moon
If I'm not careful, this whole thing is just going to be Walk the Moon songs. This song is the first song from the CD & it reminds me of the concert MJ & I went to. I had the best time at that concert.

Day 02:

Your least favourite song

Breezeblocks - AltJ

They've started playing this song on Alt Nation all the time & it drives me crazy. I don't know what it is about it exactly, but I just can't get into it.

Day 01:

Anna Sun - Walk the Moon


No surprise here.

31 Days of Songs

So one day I checked my email and I got one that said in the subject line [chantilly lace] New comment on clutch. I didn't even bother to look at the sender because automatically I was like "Yay!
