So, I have recently embraced my full music loving side and I wanted to share with you guys some of my favoritest music. I challenge anybody with a blog to answer these questions because who doesn't love new music? And if you don't have a blog then just send in your answers and I'll post them on here. Hope you guys find some new favorites in my list here!
1) Favorite band?
Johhnyswim, without a shadow of a doubt. They are a husband and wife duo and although their songs are secular I believe they are Christians. Go listen to their music right now!
2) Favorite Christian band?
NEEDTOBREATHE for sure. Although they are signed with a secular record label, so if you don't consider them Christian then my second would be All Sons and Daughters. Both of these bands are absolutely wonderful and I recommend all of their music.
3) Favorite genre?
I always love a good showtune and rap (even better when they're both combined *cough* Hamilton *uncough*), but my overall favorite genre would be alternative/indie pop, most of the bands I mention will probably fall into this category.
4) Favorite instrumental album?
I love anything by the Piano Guys or Lindsey Stirling.
5) Favorite movie soundtrack (instrumental/not from a musical)?
Probably The Lord of The Rings and Pride and Prejudice. Both of those movie soundtracks are absolutely amazing and I just love them. (I could go on and on about wonderful movie soundtracks but I won't)
6) Favorite movie soundtrack (from a musical/not instrumental)?
The Les Mis or Phantom of the Opera soundtracks are both incredible. ( Again, I could go on and on with this question)
7) Favorite album at the moment?
This always changes for me, so I had to add the "at the moment" part in. I am loving the new Johnnyswim album called Georgica Pond. Again, go listen to it. Even if it is not your style appreciate the lyrics and just bask in the glory of what is known as Johnnyswim.
8) Top 5 favorite songs at the moment?
Little Bird- Ed Sheeran, Let it all go- Birdy, No Excuses-NEEDTOBREATHE, Perfectly Lonely- John Mayer, You Can't Stop Me-Andy Mineo
9) Secular artist (that you listen to) with the most talent?
Can't narrow it down so I would say: Probably Ed Sheeran or Johnnyswim, but I do think that Adele and Sia are also pretty talented (when it comes to their voices)
10) Christian artist with most talent?
I think that Lauren Daigle has an incredible voice and doesn't get enough credit.
11) Favorite classic rock song?
Everyone has one. I would say my favorite is Don't Stop Believin' by Journey but I also love Bohemian Rhapsody by queen
12) Best performance you've seen?
Family Force 5 was definitely the most fun performance I've seen, but I also loved the rawness of Jamie Grace, as well as the way Tenth Avenue North ministered. I'm really not the biggest concert person, but I liked these three performances a lot.
13) Favorite artist as a child?
I loved Toby Mac. I loved him. I knew all his songs and yeah, he was definitely my favorite.
14) Favorite Christmas album?
I love the original Pentatonix Christmas album, but really any Christmas song is my favorite.
15) Top fifteen songs that everyone should listen to?
Difference Maker- NEEDTOBREATHE, Let it Go- James Bay, Tonight- Flame, Hesitate- Steve Moakler, Fix You- Coldplay, All The Poor and Powerless- All sons and Daughters, Live While We're Young- Johnnyswim, Let Her Go-Passenger, I See Fire- Ed Sheeran, I Will Be There- Odessa, House Of Gold- Twenty One Pilots, Make It Rain- Ed Sheeran, Georgica Pond- Johnnyswim, Living in the Moment- Jason Mraz, Called Me Higher- All Sons and Daughters
(I could've listed hundreds more but I didn't think you all would appreciate that.)
There's so much more music I want you all to know about, but I think I'll just leave it at that for now. I really would love to see your answers and I hope that you all will listen to some of these songs so then we can obsess over them together!
Until Next Time!
