Perfect music

I'm going to choose the third prompt. I, like most others, am always listening to my ipod. Music makes time go by so much faster, and it always puts me in a better mood. I'm going to choose the perfect playlist for perfect music. So, here I go.

1. Art Isn't Real (City of Sin) - Deer Tick
When listening to this song, you can truly feel the power with which John McCaully sings. He writes his own lyrics, and therefore when he sings it, he can actually relate, and therefore sing with more passion. This will always be a favorite of mine.


 2. Blood - The Middle East
This song makes me sad. Not because it is a sad song, but because I will never ever in my life be able to create something as amazing as this. It is the type of song that just takes you to a different place. I can listen to this on repeat for hours on end.


3. All Wash Out - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Everything about this song is perfect. 'Let it all wash out in the rain' he repeats. Everyone can relate to this. Everyone has things they want to be cleansed of - to 'wash out'. He puts this into beautiful vocals, letting us see his vulnerability as well.


4. Montreal - The Weeknd
The Weeknd really knows what he's doing. He starts out in french, setting the mood. He then begins to sing in english, with a Michael Jacksonesque hiccup at the end of a verse, showing his passion for the lyrics.


5. I Can't Make You Love Me - Bon Iver
I know this is a cover, but I had to add an obligatory Bon Iver song. He is the epitome of passion. Every time he sings.... It's just so real. He has mastered the art of adding feelings into his music. He is one of the bests artists of this decade for sure.
