A song that I have danced to with my best friend.
I may not have danced to a song with Gaby, but I KNOW I have danced to this with Ashley. WE ARE LEARNING THE ENTIRE DANCE!

The Twenty-third of 25 Songs in 25 Days
A song that I cannot stand to listen to.
Here's the thing: I do not like Rent. At all. But, the source does not come from the material, but of the constant, never-ending stream of references to it I heard ALL THE TIME. By the time I saw it, I was just so damned sick of the music that I hated it immediately. I would, and this is a big maybe, maybe like it on stage. But, since that occasion is not cropping up soon, I will go without.

The Twenty-second of 25 Songs in 25 Days
A song that someone has sung to me.
I did theatre. At some point SOMEONE sings something to you.
A bit weird that it came from Taylor though :-/

The Twenty-first of 25 Songs in 25 Days
My favorite song.
I have inadvertently posted my first and second favorite songs ("Hey Jude" and "Here Comes the Sun," respectively) already. So... this is not my favorite song. In fact, besides those first two, I can't say I have a third favorite song. The music I love, I love entirely. Sure, I could pick my favorite song from one of my favorite bands, and I think that's what I'll do.
I first heard Arcade Fire when I was driving home from Verot near Christmas. They played a song called "My Body is a Cage" on my Sirius, and... it was something I hadn't really heard frequently before. It was orchestral and yet rocking, entrancing and yet approachable, sad yet eventually uplifting. I went home and listened to it all the time, and now it's synonymous with Christmas for me.
I started getting curious about their other songs after listening to that several times. So, I went to YouTube and I listened. And listened. And listened. Their music was something I had interacted with only once before, and that with The Beatles. I loved every single one of their songs. Every. One. This song I pick now is my personal favorite. It just has this wonderful slow burn that I love. This song... wow.

The Twentieth of 25 Songs in 25 Days
The last song in my iTunes alphabetically.
Again, from (500) Days of Summer. The scene that accompanies this song is hilarious and so true. Well, not literally true, but the feeling you have is.

The Nineteenth of 25 Songs in 25 Days
The first song alphabetically in my iTunes.
I have already made mention of my love for (500) Days of Summer, so anything I say is kind of redundant. I don't particularly relate to this song too much, but damn it I relate to this movie. It is so utterly real and raw, it's just beautiful. And, it's seriously hilarious.

The Eighteenth of 25 Songs in 25 Days
A song that I love but rarely listen to.
I went through two Arcade Fires and a New Pornographers to only just remember this. I heard it a few summers back and totally loved it, only to listen to it a few times during the summers that followed. I'd listen to the song twice: once, with your eyes closed, imagining sitting outside in the summer with this playing, and just feel so peaceful.
Then watch it again with the moving titles in the video and lol.
