Love the passion in his voice in this song. The simple drum beat is perfection... Off of their 2008 Only By the Night CD.

Closer by Kings of Leon
Candy by Paolo Nutini
I got to see him perform in Nashville this year and he's even more amazing live.
Sober by Pink
Love the look of this video, especially the costuming. And P!nk makes out with herself in this video. Need I say more??
Mercy by OneRepublic
The lead singer's face is so adorable. He reminds me of a little puppy. LOL. Anyway... enjoy. :)
I'm Yours by Jason Mraz
I want someone to sing this song to me! This video makes me want to book a trip to Hawaii ASAP
Look After You by The Fray
For some reason, when I listen to this song, it feels like my heart is breaking for 4 minutes and 29 seconds...
Show Me What I'm Looking For by Carolina Liar
This song is a certain someone's ringtone in my phone.
Taper Jean Girl by Kings of Leon
Once again, no official video, but this song is just way too kick ass to not have on your i-pods. If you listen to the lyrics, you'll realize just how dirty this song really is.
Favorite lyrics:
ha shake taper jean girl with a motel face
Aha shake bury your eyes in a secret place
Aha shake black as night on a Sunday
Cunts watch their bodies, no room for make up
I think he's tasted, tasted the watcher
Infatuation by Christina Aguilera
There's no official video for this song, so I'm posting her concert version from her Live in the U.K. dvd. Love the song and her voice. Everyone knows a little something something about infatuation.
I Bruise Easily by Natasha Bedingfield
Such beautiful cinematography in this video. For about three months, at a really heartbreaking point in my life, I played this song non-stop....
Apologize by OneRepublic ft. Timbaland
Aside from the lyrics [LOVE'EM] the beat of this song catches you within the first ten seconds... Heard this song for the first time on one of the past seasons of So You Think You Can Dance.
Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon
The title of this song speaks for itself. From the intro guitar, this song will have you screaming it at the top of your lungs in no time. How hot is this band....? Constantly on repeat on my i-Pod...
I'm Gone, I'm Going by Lesley Roy
Love the lyrics of this song. It's all about ignoring what everyone else says and just doing what you want, how you wanna do it. As of this past summer, this is a song that I can totally relate to.
Breathe Me by Sia
I've always loved this song, from her unusual voice to the hauntingly sad lyrics. This is an amazing song and Sia is definitely an artist to watch out for..
Included two live versions of the song.
Before the Worst by The Script
Another awesome Irish band. Loving the lead singer's voice.
Favorite lyric:
There was a time, that we'd stay up all night
Best friends talking till the daylight
Took the joys alongside the pain
With not much to loose, but so much to gain
Are hearing me? Cause I don't wanna miss,
Set you a drift on memory bliss
It was Grafton Street on a rainy night
I was down on one knee and you where mine for life
We we're thinking we would never be apart
With your name tattooed across my heart
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Boo Boo Kitty Fuck by 100 Monkeys
LMAO! The title alone got me. This is one of those 100 Monkey improv performances I was telling you about... Just watch it.:) I just really like hearing Jackson say 'fuck'. Makes me smile for some reason.
Ugly Girl by 100 Monkeys
Jackson Rathbone's smile is infectious and so is the beat of this song. It's their first official video off of their debut album. Go get it.. definitely worth it. Jackson's voice is hella sexy... ;) Check out their videos on YouTube of their live performances. They do some hilarious improvs!!
CrushCrushCrush by Paramore
If you've ever had a crush, once again, you can relate!
Favorite lyrics:
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
Last Request by Paolo Nutini
The first time I heard Paolo Nutini's voice, I was entranced. Love, love, love his voice and how you can hear his adorable Irish accent while he's singing. This song is off of his debut album, These Streets, and was released in July of 2006.
Hate on Me by Jill Scott
This is my anthem. I play it loud and often, especially when I'm having a shitty day.
Dear Mr. President by Pink
The first time I heard this song, I completely fell in love with P!nk. She wrote this song as an open letter to then president, George W. Bush. It has never been released as a single in the U.S., because P!nk never wanted this recording to be viewed as some sort of publicity stunt.
Favorite lyrics:
Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.
Summertime by New Kids on The Block
The comeback single for the band. I've always had a thing for Donnie Wahlberg. He's sexy... *smirk*
Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Perfect song to sing out as loud as you possibly can. Preferably when surrounded by friends, in the shower, or in the car driving down the highway. *grin*
Don't Trust Me by 3OH!3
I laughed hysterically the first time I watched this music video. The two guys are unashamedly hilarious.
Never trust a ho....
Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel
Such a beautiful song from a great songwriter and pianist. This is the kind of song that every girl wants a guy to sing to them... I've included a live 1977 version and a more recent version.
Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers
Yet another song I want played at my wedding. I can't listen to this song without visualizing Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore making sex pottery in Ghost. One of the greatest love scenes of all time.
I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner
I love classic rock. My music library probably has more 70s and 80s music than any other era. The big hair in this video never fails to make me giggle. *giggle*
The song was written by Mick Jagger in 1984 and it was released on Atlantic records in December 1984. It's #476 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Bounce by Timbaland ft. Justin Timberlake, Dr. Dre, and Missy Elliott
Couldn't find an HQ version of this video but the song is hot. Loving the beat, the lyrics.... everything. Great party song. *wink,wink*
Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson
One of my FAVORITE MJ songs. I love the kick ass guitarist in the song.
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
I heard this song playing during the trailer of a movie and the lyrics made me smile... I read somewhere that the song was about finding that someone that makes you so crazy, all you can think about is them.
He stated it was his "purest love song". The phrase "Chasing Cars" came from Lightbody's father, in reference to a girl Lightbody was infatuated with, "You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did."

When I Get You Alone by Robin Thicke
Couldn't find a better version of this video. This is the first Robin Thicke song I ever heard. Think I heard it playing on the radio and I just had to find the owner of that voice...
He looked pretty cute with the long messy hair.
Funhouse by P!nk
She might be little, but she's a powerhouse. I sing this song a lot in the car, blasting it. Love the strange looks I often get.
Favorite lyric:
I'm crawling through the doggy door
My key don't fit my life no more
I'll change the drapes, I'll break the plates
I'll find a new place, burn this fucker down
After Tonight by Justin Nozuka
Heard this song last summer and fell in love with him. His whole album Holly is really well done. Plus, he's a cutie. ;)
When Did Your Heart Go Missing by Rooney
This beat of this makes me bounce along in my seat. Love singing it the car and letting the wind blow through my hair.
How Much It Hurts by Just Off Turner
Anyone who has ever been hurt by someone, especially someone you thought would never hurt you, can relate to this hauntingly beautiful song. This song is like a personal postcard from the person who has been hurt, screaming out... 'if you're listening, this is how much it hurts'.
Favorite lyric:
Oh, I'm wrong
I'm wrong again
But not because of where I stand but where I've been
And it burns
Oh, you know it burns like hell
To know there's nothing I can do but wish you well
Say by John Mayer
This song is the theme song for a move called the Bucket List, a really great movie, btw. Go out and rent it! Just love Mayer's lyrics in this song and the stripped down video. He's got the most soothing voice...
Dreaming With a Broken Heart by John Mayer
Such a beautifully tragic song. Love John Mayer's voice and I can't knock his ability to write some really great songs. Not an official video. Just a slide show put together by a fan.
Favorite lyric:
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
Then waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
On Call by Kings of Leon
OMG, Caleb looks soooooo young in this video. The whole band does. Very simple song and that's why I love it.
Shake It by Metro Station
I heard this song last summer and I can't get it out of my head. I've been humming/singing it since summer '08. Ridiculous... lol
Crush by David Archuleta
How adorable is this kid? If you can't relate to this song in some way, you just might not be human.
Misery Business by Paramore
This is the first song I ever heard by Paramore. I've been hooked ever since.
Favorite lyric:
Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passin' up, now look this way.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
I Want You by Kings of Leon
No official vid for this song yet, but it's too awesome to not post.
Just say I want you, just exactly like I used to
Cos baby this is ooooonly bringin me down...
All Over You by The Spill Canvas
The swings in this video remind of of those younger days, when swinging next to your crush was the ultimate. The lead singer of this band is completely adorkable and I love it.
Favorite lyric:
in my daydreams, in my sleep
infatuation turning into disease
you could cure me, see all you have to do now is please try
give it your best shot and try
all i'm asking for is love
but you never seem to have enough
Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings
Love, love, love this song. [sings loudly and off key] 'Run, baby, run! Don't ever look back!!
Beautiful by Christina Aguilera
This is the voice of the decade. There can be no doubts that Christina Aguilera can SING. Lyrically, this song speaks to the masses of people struggling to deal with their beautiful imperfections. The cinematography in the video is stunning, completely stripped down and bare.
Use Somebody by Kings of Leon
This band is amazing. I got the chance to see them in concert recently and they are even better live. If you get the chance, GO TO ONE OF THEIR CONCERTS! If you don't like the lyrics and the way Caleb's voice sounds in this song...something just might be wrong with you...

Live Your Life by T.I.
I just pretend that Rihanna isn't in this song. I think of this song as a possible anthem to live. Just live it.
Meet Me Halfway by Black Eyed Peas
This video is just as trippy as the rest of their videos. That's why I love it!
Let Me Sign and Never Think by Robert Pattinson
Everyone who knows me knows that I love me some Robert Pattinson. I was shocked by his singing voice... kinda husky and sexy. Two unofficial videos for you to enjoy. ;)
Let Me Sign
Never Think
Pretty Wings by Maxwell
Maxwell has a baby-making voice. LOL. It's so soft and beautiful... very lyrically powerful. Plus, this video is just pretty. Just imagine Maxwell crooning to you...
Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson
This girl has such a gorgeous voice and writes some really great songs. This is that song that reminds you of a relationship that didn't work... and all you wanted to do was keep from hurting that person even more. So you hurt yourself to keep from hurting them any more than necessary.
Uprising by Muse
There's nothing I can say about this awesome band that hasn't already been said. So without further ado... :)
If It Kills Me by Jason Mraz
There isn't an official video for this song, but it's too amazing to NOT put up. I think everyone has liked someone close to them, someone that they can't tell about their feelings out of fear of ruining everything. This song puts those feelings to music.... = perfection. :)
Here's the Casa Nova Sessions version of the song on So You Think You Can Dance.
Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys
I'm a New Yorker, so of course, I think this video is made of win. Jay and Alicia compliment each other perfectly. Soak up the NY landmarks in the video.
Falling Slowly by The Frames
I have no idea where I heard this song for the first time, but I love it. The video is very low-key, just the band singing and playing. I live love the lyrics...
Ignorance by Paramore
I LOVE this line in the song:
Yeah, I've got friends who stuck together.
We wrote our names in blood.How many people have friends like that nowadays????
Use Somebody: Cover by Paramore
Just found this video and even though I like the original better, Hayley does a great job with this cover.
Who Says by John Mayer
He's one of the few artists out there who still writes their own music, music that makes you think about it lyrically. I can appreciate that. Plus, he's quite adorable.
Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation
The singer has such a unique, haunting voice. Lyrically, it's beautiful. Here's the official video.
And if you wanna see the song put to a fabulous dance by Sonya Tayeh on So You Think You Can Dance.... Fast forward to 2:30. Enjoy!
Gravity by Sara Bareilles
I'm not a huge fan of the official music video, so this is a performance by Kayla and Kupono on So You Think You Can Dance, season 5 I think. This performance was the first time I ever heard the song. It's AMAZING.
