Amy's top 5 (non mraz) favorite songs right now at this moment.

1. Andy Grammer "Lunitic"

This guy has a really awesome sound. I love listening to this song in the car.. .I sing along to it and just about every single song on this album makes me just happy.

My favorite line of the song is

"You can do this, you can do this
You are not a lunatic
Crazy would be changing your mind"

2. Matt Nathanson "At the end of the world"

 

I love love love love love love love Matt Nathanson. He is seriously right up there with Mraz. I have never seen him live but I would give anything to do so! I am obsessed with youtuve vidoes of him. His shows look like so much fun and he is freakin hilarious. Anyway.. his new album Modern Love.. is just perfect in every way. This song is awesome. It was hard to pick just one for a current favorite..

"if the sun don't light
and the night won't turn
we'll get a room at the end of the world
and we'll rewrite all the wrongs we've learned
safe in our room at the end of the world"
Oh my goodness.. I just love him!

3. The Weepies "Gotta have you"

This is seriously one of my favorite songs of all time. Its so beautiful. They know how to write a song.  I am so happy they are playing local next month and I am going to try so hard to see them.   I need to post the lyrics to the whole song because I love it so much.

"Gotta Have You"

Gray, quiet and tired and mean
Picking at a worried seam
I try to make you mad at me over the phone.
Red eyes and fire and signs
I'm taken by a nursery rhyme
I want to make a ray of sunshine and never leave home

No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, no, no, no, no,
nothing else will do
I've gotta have you, I've gotta have you.

The road gets cold, there's no spring in the meadow this year
I'm the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears
Oh, such a prima donna, sorry for myself
But green, it is also summer
And I won't be warm 'til I'm lying in your arms

No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, no, no, no, no
Nothing else will do
I've gotta have you, I've gotta have you

I see it all through a telescope: guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat
Lying in the back of the blue boat, humming a tune...hmmmmmmm

No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no wine
No, no, no, no, no
Nothing else will do
I've gotta have you, I've gotta have

No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, no, no, no, no
Nothing else will do
I've gotta have you, I've gotta have you.

I've gotta have you, gotta have you
I've gotta have you

4. Plain White T's- Map of the world.

I was never a big fan of this band.. but decided to get this album anyway.. it is really good. This song has some really good lyrics and I love singing along to it.

The wind comes through singing the blues
but where do I fit in
The autumn trees dance with the breeze
but where do I fit in

Am I a dot on the map of the world
Just a spot on the map of the world
When I imagine the whole universe
Oh, where do I fit in

Wish I made it, wish I might
find some answers here tonight
Tell me, is there something out there

5. Matt Nathanson "Faster"

I really wish this song was written about me.  Just listen.. you will know why.

"You're so delicious
you're so soft
sweet on the tip of my tongue
you taste like sunlight
and strawberry bubble gum

you bite my lip
you spike my blood
you make my heart beat faster"
