Song: “Lights”
Artist: Ellie Goulding

Comments: I heard this song on the radio the other day, and it’s been stuck in my head since. It’s quite excellent– danceable if you want, but mellow enough to be easy listening. Well done, Ms. Goulding, well done.

Comments: Well, this weekend, my laptop encountered some fairly serious issues, so I’m doing this from an unfamiliar computer, so kindly excuse any inconsistencies. By the same token, updates for a week or two might be slightly sporadic, so bear with me.
Today’s song is currently stuck in my head, so I figured I’d just post it. It’s not exactly new, and most people have heard it before, but I feel it’s always worth a listen.

Comments: Thanks to Amanda for finding this one! This song is a charming mix of electropop and oldies, to my ears. The song is upbeat, catchy, and probably going to end up stuck in my head. I really don’t know how to describe this song beyond talking about its style– it has a truly unique sound. Check it out! Hopefully you enjoy it, and hopefully you enjoyed Break Up Week!

Entry 132: Break Up Week, Part 3– "Leave the Pieces"
Break Up Week, Part 3
Song: “Leave the Pieces”
Artist: The Wreckers

Comments: Hey it’s Miriah again. Here is the country song for the week. Of course it’s not too difficult to find a country song about relationships but I think this is one of the better ones. I had this song in my head all day yesterday and good part is it’s not overly depressing and it has the “you’ll be fine” type of attitude that everyone needs eventually. This duo did not last long but this is their best-known hit. Enjoy!

Comments: Apologies for the missed entry yesterday– it was a really crazy day for me, and I just didn’t have time to write it. This song is the other of the two songs that helped me move on after my previous relationship ended. Hopefully anyone reading this finds it helpful, or at the least, enjoys the song. For what it’s worth, I haven’t had time to watch the video, so someone let me know how it is!

Break Up Week, Part 1
Song: “Beautiful Day Without You”
Artist: Royksopp

Comments: I don’t usually do so many theme weeks so soon, but two dear friends of mine and friends to this blog just split up, and so I’m throwing a week to help them out as best I can. This song is one of the two that helped me move on after my previous relationship ended, and I hope that all the broken hearts out there find it helpful. I can’t promise that random butterflies will appear or any of the other fantastical things that happen in the video, but I feel confident in saying that this song might manage to brighten your day. Also, a happy birthday to Amanda!
