The Perfect Playlist- Lauren Spivey

  I am a music junky. I am always listening to some form of music whether its pop, rap, country, R&B, you name it I probably know the song. My favorite type of music is slow/sad music. Whether I'm happy or sad I always tend to go towards my sad music. I also love when these sad songs can also, at the same time, make me feel empowered and unstoppable.

1. Hopelessly Devoted To You- Olivia Newton John
This song is probably the most played song on my phone. I love the emotion that she puts behind her voice when singing it. It makes you feel like you are in her place and going through a breakup. This can go under the sad/slow category while also making you feel good because of the passion that she shows while singing.

2.  All Comes Down- Kodaline
 First of all I'm obsessed with this band you should definitely look them up. It's a slow song until the chorus. There's a build up towards the end that reminds me a lot of a Coldplay track where the instruments make you feel like you are on top of the world while the lyrics are still very emotional. The story behind it is that you're in a struggling relationship and losing someone you care about. It makes you feel so sympathetic about the situation.

3.  All Through The Night- Sleeping At Last
 This bands sound is not for everyone. They don't have Adele level voices they're more of a Mumford and Sons type. This song is also very slow and makes you feel good. "We have no past, we won't reach back, keep with me forward all through the night" this is part of the chorus and it just emits the love that this guy has for his significant other. This song also has the Coldplay kind of build up.

4. Just A Little Bit of Your Heart- Ariana Grande
 First thing is that this song was written by Harry Styles which is even more reason to love it. I am honestly not a fan of Ariana Grande as a person but she is an amazing singer. The vocal range that she has on this song gives me chills every single time. It is also showing the strong emotion that she is also feeling for her significant other. "I know I'm not your only, but at least I'm one, i heard a little love, is better than none." The pain that she has and is going through and the feeling that even though he likes other girls, she doesn't care because even a little bit of love from this guy is enough. It's very emotional.

5. Say You Love Me- Jessie Ware
 This was my favorite song for a while but i used to listen to it on repeat forever so it became a little old but it doesn't take away for the pure genius behind this song. It also helps that Ed Sheeran co-wrote this song which just adds to the sentimental feeling behind it. "just say you love me, just for today, and don't give me time cause thats not the same, want to feel burning flames when you say my name, want to feel passion flow into my bones like blood through my veins". This song also gives me chills every time the message behind it is heart breaking which is why I find it so compelling.
