10 Favourite Songs

Thanks very much to @soldhissoulforrocknroll for the tag!!!

As a huge music fan it was VERY difficult to choose only 10 all time favourites. So I chose 10 songs with lyrics that are speaking to me on a personal level at the moment, presented here in no particular order!

(I wanted to actually share some of the lyrics from these songs that are most impactful to me right now, but you guys don't have to do that part if you don't want to! If you feel like participating, you can just share your list of songs without comment!)

1 - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times by the Beach Boys

They say I got brains, but they ain't doing me no good I wish they could Each time things start to happen again I think I got something good goin' for myself But what goes wrong #...yeag

2 - Молчунам (To Those Who are Silent) by Monatik

Но если во мне умрёт любовь (but if the love within me dies) Если во мне умрут мечты (if the dreams inside me die) Если дети не найдут свой дом (if little kids can't find their homes) Когда молчание — синоним лжи (when silence is synonymous with lies) И ты же видишь всё, скажи (and you see everything, well, tell me) Как ты молча будешь жить потом? (how will you go on living silently?)

3 - Sin Eater by Le Chat Lunatique

If you think you're dead you're right, and yet your soul will not take flight There is little you can do, just hope Sin Eater comes for you There are sins you've not confessed, so we'll place bread upon your chest Sins will soak up through your skin, and then your soul is forgiven

#Not to be a hipster on main but I *know* you've never heard of this band because they are an incredibly niche smalltime band from a small city #But listen. their music helped get me through high school with my sanity intact #*please* give them a listen they're like. 1920s/1930s swingy jazzy ridiculous amazingness with a healthy side of halloween-esque dark humour. #And they sing in French sometimes and their fiddle player is honestly one of the greatest fiddle players I've ever heard in my life?? #Please love this band with me???

4 - Shoot an Arrow by Autoheart

He said, "If only they could really see me But how could I ever be sure? Life's much better when you see it on TV, Hope is a curse and a cure." # Life *does* look better on TV what the fuck

5 - All or Nothing At All by Frank Sinatra

All or nothing at all ... Half a love never appealed to me If your heart never could yield to me, then I'd rather have nothing at all Oh please, don't bring your lips so close to my cheek! Don't smile, or I'll be lost beyond recall  The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak  And my heart may grow dizzy and fall #.. Ough.

6 - Rise Up by TheFatRat

Here we come back to life we're still breathin' Standin' up everybody's gonna see it Oh, all you need to know is that we're holding on Even if we fall, we will rise up And we follow the path that we believe in No we're not gonna stop until we reach it Oh all you need to know is that we're holding on We'll rise up from the dust and claim our throne # I'm. trying. I'm. TRYING.

7 - Шагай не грусти (Walk on, don't be sad) by Полина Гагарина

Это мой, мой жизненный принцип (this is my, my life's principle) Это мой, мой фирменный стиль (this is my, my signature style) Не пытайся снова вернуть назад (don't you try to get back again) Того, кого однажды отпустил (the one you one day left behind) Шагай, не грусти! (Walk on, don't be sad!) Шагай! (Walk on!) #WOW They weren't lying this Girl can frikken SING

8 - The Greatest Adventure from the 1977 Rankin/Bass Hobbit Soundtrack

The greatest adventure is there if you're bold Let go of the moments that life makes you hold To measure the meaning can make you delay It's time you stopped thinking and wasting the day #I would like to personally thank this song for helping me get the fuck out of my parents' house (finally) 2 years ago LOL

9 - Old Brown Shoe by George Harrison (when he was a Beatle)

You picked me up from where some tried to drag me down And when I see your smile replacing every thoughtless frown You got me escapin' from this zoo Baby I'm in love with you I'm so glad you came here it won't be the same now I'm tellin' you #This song was like. My high school anthem

10 - Never Be Lonely by Jax Jones & Zoe Weez

So tell me how it feels to know That I'll never leave you alone To know that you've got the freedom to choose You-ooh will never be lonely again & again & again So tell me how it feels #like. to me? this song feels like #the rainbow that forms in the spray from the sprinklers #when you're running through them as a teenager with your best friend #just to FEEL something again #and you finally DO feel something again
