  My two top songs right now are “Here Comes Goodbye” by Rascal Flatts and “One Hundred Years” recorded by Five for Fighting. I like “Here Comes Goodbye” because it is such a bittersweet, powerful song. “One Hundred Years” is another one of my favorites because it realizes how short life is and how we should seize every moment of every day.

  My top two favorite songs are "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus, and "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black-Eyed Peas. I like "The Climb" because the song relates to life in a way that we need to live life to the fullest, and enjoy every minute of it. I also like the song "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black-Eyed Peas, because this song has a very happy feel to it, and the message in this song is that you should have fun and not dwell on the problems in life.

  My top two favorite songs are “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi and “Real World” by the All American Rejects. I like “Wanted Dead or Alive” because of it’s sound and the way the music’s put together. I also like it because of the melody and it's cool. I like “Real World” because I like the Artist, the music, the guitar, and how it’s about a weird World that could possibly happen.

  My two favorite songs right now are "Toes" by Zach Brown Band and "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson. I like "Toes" because it is a calm, soothing, relaxing song that makes me feel sleepy, relaxed, and safe from whatever troubles I'm having in life. On the other hand, "Redneck Woman" is totally different! "Redneck Woman" is a more peppy, jumpy song. It inspires me to let myself go, take more risks in life, be a little more open, and be who I want to be.

  My two favorite songs are "My Immortal" by Evanesence and "Decode" by Paramore. I like "My Immortal" because it's a song that you can really lie down and listen to forever. It is sad and peaceful at the same time. I don't actually know what makes it one of my many favorites, but it just has something to it that makes it one of a kind and a really good song.They both give me a feeling that makes me feel as if there's nothing to be afraid of and you can go your own way no matter what anyone else says.

  Two of my favorite songs would have to be "Monsoon" from Tokio Hotel and "Eye of the tiger" by Surviver. The reason I like "Monsoon" is because I really like the singer of their band, Bill Kaulitz. Another thing I love about the song "Monsoon" is that the genre is rock and it's exciting and it really makes me want to have fun and let go, however in the beginning and at other parts in the song it is calm. At these parts I feel as if I'm really connected to the song, and the whole song overall pulls me in. One of my absolutely favorite things about this song is the music video and the sound effects at the beginning of it. What I like about the other song "Eye of the Tiger" is, once again it's exciting and really gets you pumped.(I want to emphasize on "really" by capitalizing it, but that might not be proper grammar.) Another of the reasons I like tis song is because it has an amazing beat and it usually always gets me moving.Although it is a bit old and it was made in the 80's it's still popular, and it's in guitar hero so that must mean it's good.

  My first favorite song is "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye, because I love soul music from the 1970's-1990's. This song just makes me want to dance around whenever I hear it. It just speaks straight into my soul and makes me want to move to the beat. My second favorite song is "Charlene" by Anthony Hamilton. This is a song that was made in the 2000s but it is still soul. This song is more sad and it reminds me of driving in the rain. This melody makes we also wish that I could sing because you need a lot of skill to sing this song.

  My absolute favorite song is "Smile" by Uncle
  Kracker. I love it beacause now matter how terrible I feel, whenever I hear this song, I end up dancing around my room. My second favorite song is "21 Guns" by Green Day. Its one of my favorite songs because I love the beat and the tune. Also, I love all of Green Day's songs.

  Two of my favorite songs are "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift, and "Halo" by Beyonce. I like "You Belong With Me" because every time I hear it, it just makes me want to sing along. It tells that the important things about a person aren't on the outside, but on the inside. I like "Halo" because it is such a beautiful, powerful song, and I can truly feel the singer's emotions whenever I listen to it.

  I love all types of songs, but my first favorite would probably have to be, "Life is Beautiful" by Vega 4. All the song is really saying is that you have to treasure every moment of life because it's not a given right. I think the band also talks about love, but mostly just live the life you want to. My second favorite song is, "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. I love this song beause she's just saying have fun and just make life a party! Music can change a person's personality. It can make them happy, sad, energetic, angry, and much more. Miley is saying when her favorite music comes on, nobody can stop her.
  That's how i feel about her song!

  I really enjoy the song "You found me" by The Fray because it is about a troubeled man finding God in his life and how he is saved by Gods grace, which happens every day all over the world. I also like the song "Alright" by Darius Rucker because it reminds me to be grateful for what i have in this greedy world we live in. These songs just make me want to sing the lyrics as loud as i can.

  My favorite song of all time is "Fly with me" by the Jonas Brothers because it makes me feel like I'm in a fairy tale love story. And a bonus is I can play it on guitar. I also like the song "Man in the mirror" by Michael Jackson because it's message comes as a reminder of how lucky we are to live such a good and luxurious life. It also says how we need to help others who are less fortunate than us and there truly are people out there who need us. Even if its just donating a nickel every month. Doing something to help improve the way they live can also improve us as a person by knowing that we helped someone in need.

  Two songs that I really enjoy are "How to Save a Life" by The Fray, and "Girl all the Bad Guys Want", by Bowling for Soup. I really love "How to Save a Life", because I really get pulled it to the sadness of the song whenver I hear it. "Girl All the Bad Guys Want", is one of my favorites because the tune is just awesome. I love the way Bowling for Soup make most of their songs rhyme. It's really unique!

  In my top 2, my second favorite would be "Hello Goodbye" by The Beatles. It has a great beat, and the Sgt. Pepper suits are awesome.
  
  My first favorite song would have to be "Have Faith In Me" by A Day To Remember. It has a wondeful rythm, and tells a story with its words.

  My two favorite songs are "One Time" by Justin Bieber and "Love Like This" by Natasha Bedingfield. I like "One Time" because it’s by a young boy who posted himself singing on "YouTube" and now he is a superstar. It also has a great beat. "Love Like This" is my other favorite song because I really like the lyrics. Whenever I listen to these songs, I just want to get up and dance!

  I like all types of music besides rap. But my favorite type of music is rock. One of my favorite songs is "Sound of the Sun" by Silverstein. This song just makes me want to sing along and it makes me feel so alive. Another one of my favorite songs is "Seven Years" by Saosin. This song has a spell to make me listen to it over and over again. I do not know how these bands come up with these songs but I am glad that they did.

  I absolutely love music, and there is so many songs to pick from. But my favorite would have to be "Broken" by Lindsey Haun. It's just so inspiring, because it talks about her Uncles that died in the army and how we need to support them for fighting for us. It makes me want to cry and rethink how lucky we are that we don't have to go and fight. I also enjoy "I'm Only Me When I'm With You" by Taylor Swift. I love this song just because it's who I am. I only like to share who i truly am with who i truly trust, love, and adore. She says that I can be myself and not to be someone I am not.

  My two favorite songs are “Sing, Sing, Sing” by Chris Tomlin and “I’m Only Me When I’m With You” by Taylor Swift. The reason Sing, Sing, Sing really reaches out to me is because it’s really true. And I mean true as in it shows me that if you believe in what you are asking of God he will give it to you, but if you have an impure reason behind your request/praise he will listen but most of the time not give what you would like. I like the song I’m Only Me When I’m With You because it shows me that there is someone out there that you are meant to be with. Someone that you can take off your “mask” with and not have to worry about what you will really look like to them because finally it seems right. Someone you can just open up to and feel like everything in the world is perfect at the exact moment you are with them. That is just a good thing to feel, to know that somewhere out there is your soul mate. So, those are my two favorite songs right now.

  I really love music and I have tons of favorite songs, but I think my two absolute favorites are "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eye Peas, and "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. I really like "I Gotta Feeling" because unlike most music now with bad messages, foul language, and not really music, this song has a good uplifting beat. This song also has a good, happy, feeling and message. That is why I like "I Gotta Feeling", so much.I like "Don't Stop Believing" because it has such a good message, it's saying no matter what happens never give up. I live by that stament, if things are really bad, "Don't Stop Believing".

  My top two favorite songs are "Thinking of You" by Katy Perry and "So What" by Pink. "Thinking of You" is a really great song because it really shows how great the loss of a loved one truly is with it's sweet tunes. I also like "So What" because it tells us not to hide in our shells.

  My top 2 favorite songs are “Good Girls Go Bad” by Cobra Starship and “Starstrukk” by 3OH!3. “Good Girls Go Bad” is one of my favorite songs because it’s a fun song that you can listen to over and over again without getting bored with it. “Starstrukk” is one of my favorite songs because it has a fun beat and is fun to sing along with. It is also one of my favorite songs because 3OH!3 is my favorite band, and I love all of their songs.

  My favorite song at the moment would have to be "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas because I can't help smiling and it always makes me want to get up and jam! I love to party and this song is amazing to dance to. Even my mom rocks out to it... My other favorite song would have to be "High School Never Ends" by Bowling For Soup because it reminds me of my brother. The song sounds just like they're talking about him. So those are my favorite songs at the moment.

  My Two favorite songs are "Jesus Freak" by Toby Mac, and "Sing, Sing, Sing" by Chris Tomlin. I think both of these songs are awesome, because they say that you could be who you want to be and you don't have to worry about what the people around you think, because the only person who you need to care is God, and he always cares about everyone. Both of these songs say that and that's why they are my two favorite songs.

  I've got a lot of favorite songs, but one song that I sing to myself a lot is "Blood on the Risers". This song was written by a bunch of paratroopers during WW2. I like this song because it reminds me of E Company, 2d batalion, 506 PIR, 101 Airborne. This song reminds me of E Company because the song is about a paratrooper who jumps from a plane, his chute fails, and he is falling to his death. E Company was a paratrooper company. The became so close together, they were practicly like brothers. Every time a chute failed or some was killed, it was another brother lost. Another song I like a lot is "Living on the Edge" by Aerosmith. I like this song because when I hear it I think of somebody at the edge of a cliff, and if he makes one bad move, or does something bad, then he will fall. But if he does something good, then he will get to take one step away from the edge of the cliff.

  My favorite songs are "Caramelldansen" and "Jitterbug". "Caramelldansen" is by a Swedish group named Caramell, and it is in both English and Swedish, but it's a very energetic and happy song. The other song, "Jitterbug", is by Wham!, and I like it because it has a very nice beat and I think it is hilarious. It refletcts the feelings that we all feel about being left behind.

  Music is one of my favorite things. It can really move me or change my mood. My two favorite songs are "All the way Up" by Emily Osment and You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. I like the song "All the way up" because it tells about the challenges of life. Going up and down, like going on a roller coaster. Not only that but it has a great tune to it. The reason I like the song "You Belong With Me" is because it tells of a very common story. When somebody dates somebody just for the popularity of it. Not because they really like them. But in the end of the song the guy who was dating the mean girl just for popularity realizes he should be with the one he loves, and so he does. Plus, it has a great rhythm to it.

  I've have already blogged on this topic once, but I'm going to do it again. I have lots of favorite songs, but I'm only to name 2. One of them is "Here Comes The Sun" by the Beatles. I like this song because every time I hear it I think that something bad might happen, but somehow your sun will rise and it cheers you up. Another one of my favorite songs is "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere" by Alan Jackson. THe title means 5 O'clock is the perfect time to drink a beer. But when I listen to this song I think of a guy who works his tail off and needs a break. When the songs starts, it seems like the guy's day is going by very slowely. I also like this song because towards the end of the song, Jimmy Buffet comes in and starts to sing with Alan Jackson.

  My two favorite songs write know are I Heart ? by Taylor Swift and I Just Knew by Better than Ezra. I like I Heart ? because it is so upbeat and makes me sing every time I hear it, sometimes I will find myself singing it and I didn't even mean to. I like I Just Knew because it is a very peaceful song. It is much slower than I Heart ?, it really makes me calm and focused. It is one of my favorite songs to listen to while doing homework because of this.

  I love music and I have a lot of songs that I like but I two favorites are definitely "Generator" by the Foo Fighters, and "500 Channels (demo)" by Choking Vitcim. I like "Generator" because it is different from most songs now days, most songs now days are horrible pop and rap, but this song is completely different. This song also has a great message. That is why "Generator" is one of my favorite songs, so much. I like "500 Channels (demo)" because it has an amazingly important message, its telling about how people now days are mindless zombies controlled by the media and not to fall into the rat race. Thats the motto I live by.

  I absolutely love music, and I have many favorite songs. But I’ll only name 2. My first favorite song is "Ignorance" by Paramore. I think this song is good because I LOVE rock music. I also like it because it has a good beat. My second favorite song is "Date With the Night" by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I like this song because is fun to play on the drums, and a very energetic song. It always helps me wake up in the morning! :)

  Music is very entertaining and I love many of the songs by various artists, but my favorite song and artist are “welcome to the world”, by Kevin Rudolf and “Party in the USA”, by Miley Cyrus.
  I like “welcome to the world”, because it is very creative and I really like the lyrics. This song is about how the world is, its similarities and differences. I also like it because the singers’ voice is awesome.
  I really liked the song “Party in the USA” because I like Miley Cyrus and her music. The song brings out an example of how famous people are at their parties and things and what it’s like being famous. I like her voice too but some people think she’s not that good, everyone has different opinions.

  One of my favorite songs is Horchata by Vampire Weekend. This is because of the quirkiness. This song is like a world indie pop song with some rock and other things in there. The singing is also amazing. The lead singer sings it with a weird grace vibe. He also has amazing range and he can go high and way low. He also uses his voice like an instrument with mini scales and many places where he goes up and down and back up quickly. Lastly, the kinds of instruments they use add to their cool sound. They have the guitar and bass but they also have a xylophone and some other weird instruments which makes it weird and cool. My second favorite song is Paper lanterns (live) by Green Day. Its one of my favorites because it is a classic song with just guitar and singer. It has good chord combinations to mix with the voices. It also varies from the stuff Green Day usually makes which makes it cool.

  My top two favorite songs would probably be "Big Green Tractor" by Jason Aldean because it sounds like the perfect country romance date. And second favorite would be "She's Country" also by Jason Aldean. the song "She's Country" reminds me of being at the fair with my friends and hanging out. It also goes back to when I actually go back to Louisiana to see my family they are scared every time because they think I am going to change since I'm living here in the city. Although, I do prove to them that I am still as country as ever. And the song talks about not being afraid to stay country which fits me pretty well.

  My favorite type of music would definitely be hip hop and a little rap. I don't always pay attention to what they're actually saying, (most of the time I do) I just like the beat. I think that the song 'Tricky' by Run DMC is really catchy! So whenever I hear it I dance around the room. (Or just dance around in my mind) I also love the song 'HTown Trick' (It's not the real name but the real name has a bad word in it) I'm not really sure why I like the song, but I think the beat is catchy. I also think that the song that says "Just throw it in the bag" somewhere in it is really catchy too! My friend and made up a dance!!
