le music

I have found a new love for French songs. They're so beautiful. ....Or maybe just for Coeur de Pirate. Stumbled upon one of her songs while listening to my 'Regina Spektor station' (who's also spectacular and definitely one of my favorite female singers) and just fell in love. I don't know whether it's the slightly haunting, beautiful melodies or the slightly throaty, beautiful voice or the lovely, beautiful French language itself but add all three together and it makes ... beauty.
It also makes me a little sad listening to her sing but I don't know why. Some people have trouble listening to music in other languages. That's a major reason why some people dislike K-pop, in fact. Music is music. If sung/played right, it shouldn't matter whether the artist is French or Korean or Chinese or British (especially love their accents, though) or African, right? So it's the same when I'm listening to a song in a language I don't understand (sometimes even in Chinese I don't understand, ;~~; such a fail Asian) I can listen to the melody and ... it feels nice. I don't have to understand the lyrics. But for those people that must find some reason to hate K-pop, that's what Eng-subbed MVs are for.
Anyways, I think I've found my 'groove' in music. For a while it bounced from Owl City and The Ready Set to Coldplay and The Script and Death Cab For Cutie to Birdy and Lana Del Rey and Bon Iver and now I think it's a giant mishmash of all the bands/artists I've mentioned above, but I found that I really prefer the female voice to the male voice haha. Hm... I think I'll give some song/artist recs :D

Favorite 5 Female Artists (as of today):

1. Regina Spektor
Favorite song from her is currently "Wallet". 


2. Birdy
Favorite song from her will probably always be "Shelter".


3. Lana Del Rey
Hmm... current favorite song is "Born to Die". Definitely.


4. Florence + The Machine
Hands down favorite: "Shake It Out".


5. Mindy Gledhill
Favorite: "All The Pennies"


....and I might soon add Coeur de Pirate to this list! Hope Pandora finds more nice songs of hers to play. Might do another post of my favorite bands/male artists later.

Oh, and remember the Psych questions I posted yesterday?
The last two were: "There's a body of water at the edge of your property. What is it?" I answered "Lake". Turns out that's indicative of the size of my sexual desire LOLLLLLL
and then "You have to cross the body of water. What do you do?" I answered "Swim" at first, but changed it to "Build a bridge" (idk why). Turns out that how wet I get while crossing the body of water is indicative of how much my sex life matters to me .______. HAHAHAHAAAA
