Hello!!! Here I am with another tag, thanks to Danielle @ Books, Vertigo, and Tea! Please check out her blog, she is one of the most sweetest people I have ever met and I love her diverse picks in reads =)
Here are the rules:
- List the first 10 12 songs that come on shuffle (no skipsies)
- Then write your favorite lyric (or verse) from that song *if it’s worth to mention*
- Tag others
Like Danielle, I pretty much listen to a little of everything except country. I also listen to Spanish music because if you don’t know I’m Puerto Rican! Music and mood definitely go hand in hand and I love good lyrics. Even though sometimes I throw the lyrics out the window and just hear a song for the catchy beat. Here’s a secret: I know how to sing lol. Through my fathers side of family we have musicians, artist, and sports entertainers as well. Let’s get onto the tag!
1.Alive and Kicking by Nonpoint
I’m stronger now, even after everything that you did.
I’m still alive and kicking.
I’m better now.
I’m awake now.
I can see everything in front of me, now.
2.Get Back by Britney Spears
3.Abusadora by Wisin y Yandel
4.Terrible Love by Birdy
It’s a terrible love
And I’m walking with spiders
It’s a terrible love that I’m walking in
It’s quiet company
5.Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
No wind no rain or winters cold can stop me baby,
‘Cause you are my goal.
If you’re ever in trouble;
I’ll be there on the double.
Just send for me, oh baby.
6.There You Go by P!nk
There you go, lookin pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talkin bout you want me back
But sometimes it be’s like that
7.R.I.P. 2 My Youth by The Neighbourhood
R.I.P. to my youth
If you really listen, then this is to you
Mama, there is only so much I can do
Tough for you to witness it but it was for me too
I’m using white lighters to see what’s in front of me
8.In The End by Linkin Park
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when…
9.In The Morning and Amazing… by Circa Survive
You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
You with someone else that I have felt and seen
I cannot rest, or my consciousness contest
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again
10.Sweet Nothing (ft. Florence Welch) by Calvin Harris
And it’s not enough to tell me that you care
When we both know the words are empty air
You give me nothing
11.Fast Car (Ft. Dakota) by Jonas Blue
So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
12.Sippy Cup by Melanie Martinez
Blood money, blood money
How did you afford this ring that I love, honey?
“Just another shift at the drug company, “
He doesn’t think I’m that fucking dumb does he?
It doesn’t matter what you pull up to your home
We know what goes on inside
You call that ass your own, we call that silicone
Silly girl with silly boys
I tag anyone who wants to do this!
I definitely had fun doing this because it’s different than my usual book/poetry post you see. Thanks to Danielle again for tagging me! Do you like any of these bands/artist? Let’s talk in the comments!

Lol I am very all over the place with music. I love classic Linkin Park, I don’t enjoy their new stuff. More so after their Transformers single, not the same. I miss their old muse. But I understand that bands grow and change. Whelp. Nonpoint is just ❤

True, classic Linkin Park is definitely the best.

Great tag Gretchen! I love seeing what people come up with when they take part in this one. I’ve had some amazing recommendations from other peoples playlists.
I really love Linkin Park, I definitely prefer their earlier albums but they have some good songs on their more recently ones as well. And Sweet nothing is one of my favourite songs, it’s on my Top 25 Most Played playlist on my iPod at the moment.
I also think when I took part in this tag Fast Car by Jonas Blue was on my list as well! 😀
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yes!!!! I also love Linkin Park’s earlier albums. After Transformers movie, I didn’t like anything they put out. I definitely miss their old stuff and wish they had the same sound. But I understand that bands change. I LOVE SWEET NOTHING!!!! I’m happy it’s part of your top 25. Have you heard the Grandtheft & Diplo Remix of it? Super good!
LikeLiked by 1 person
There are actually a few bands I wish had stuck with their original sound but I guess that never really happens. They have some good songs in their newer albums but nothing like in their old albums!
No I haven’t, but I will definitely check that out. I love remixes, though there are some hit and miss ones out there aren’t there? 🙂
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yes definitely some remixes that don’t work! I hope you like that one though

Janas Blue AND Marvin Gaye?! You are my hero. This is a great list. I did also find some new music– which is cool. Also– I bet when I get to this tag, you’ll also find some Linkin Park in my shuffle list. At one point I owned every album and LP they released. It was an intense time of my life. Lots of screaming.

Lol!!! I love LP’s older stuff. I don’t listen to their new music, not a big fan of their change in music direction. I’m happy you enjoyed my list. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

I do whatever pays me? But seriously, I specialize in classical percussion performance. Timpani, snare drum, xylophone, etc. I also sing with a number of ensembles, though. I’m not a bad soprano, if I do say so myself!! 😄

I don’t sing like that anymore, I love music but I never really wanted to be expose to that lifestyle. I use to take classes, went to a music high school, and sang in church when I went to church years ago. But that’s about it
