There are certain songs on the radio that are pretty enjoyable right now, which is why I thought I'd start a new monthly feature on my blog highlighting some of those songs that I like. So here are some of them!
Avril Lavigne: "I Miss You" - Did I ever mention how big of a fan I am of Avril Lavigne? She's an incredible singer and nine times out of ten, her songs end up being hits. Her latest, "I Miss You" started airing around here for a week or two, but it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. It has a soft, sweet sound and such a profound message. This one is clearly different sounding than her last, that being "Girlfriend." That one was completely the opposite in that it was uptempo and satrical. "I Miss You" is definitely more serious, but still a very good song.
Collective Soul: "Hollywood" - I love the opening guitar riff of this song, which was probably why I became hooked with it right away. Collective Soul has been around for awhile and one of their earlier songs, "The World I Know" is one of my all-time favorites from them. It's good to see them back on the adult contemporary charts and I think this song has the potential to bring them up. "Hollywood" is such a fun, enjoyable song and you can't help but to sing it. I really enjoy the sound that this song has.
Plain White T's: "Hey there Delilah" - How could you not enjoy this song? It has such a unique sound and quite a compelling message. I think one of the reasons why I became hooked to this song is because of its soft tone and it's especially easy to sing along to. It's not hard to figure out why this song is #1 on billboard's top 100 this week. It's catchy and enjoyable to listen to. I know I never end up turning flipping the station when this one comes on.
Elliot Yamin: "Wait for You" - This one has actually been out for awhile now, but I don't believe it has gotten the recognition it deserved until recently. Elliot has always been one of my favorites from season five of American Idol which proved he definitely can sing (he is turning out to be a heck of a lot more profitable than Taylor Hicks). "Wait for You" proves he can sing and I think he will have a hit record with his recent album release. He has a lot of promise and "Wait for You" is one of those songs that you can't get enough of!
Fall Out Boy: "Thanks for the Memories" - I must admit, when I first heard this song, I thought it was pretty weird coming from Fall Out Boy. All of the previous songs they released, you could barely understand what half the lyrics were! This one has slowly grown on me, and now I think it is a pretty decent song. It's nice to finally be able to understand what they are singing about when they take a slower approach to singing a song. I will say this, Fall Out Boy has a pretty bright future in the years to come. I think they gained a lot of fans from their latest album.
That will do for this month's look at the songs I dig. Be sure to check back some time next month for the latest installment. We'll see which ones tickle my fancy then.
