High Highs

Recently, I am loving the mellow and echoey sound of the High Highs.  This Sydney, Australian born (now Brooklyn-based) band is mega-awesome and mega-rad.  Their songs relax and unwind me.  Perfect for the moments of escape from the hectic reality that everybody needs. 

This is the most well-known song by them, played while the credits roll in Pitch Perfect.  And apparently it was in Catfish as well?

This one is my favorite.  It's their cover of Pnau's The Truth, but I love this version way more.  And here's my favorite bit.

You know I met you baby I thought that you were the sun

I felt your presence and your pure warmth shone upon

And then the night fell hard and you were the moon

I rode your waves but I fell too soon

I thought you were the truth

Here is an 30 mins performance by the High Highs.  I love it.

music: kids

Yep, this song is nothing new.  But I still love love love this song for its upbeat melody and for, just for my plain love for Two Door Cinema Club.  Perfect song to blast when you're home alone, and for those rock stars and dancing queens of the shower.

Enjoy.

music: Beliver, San Cisco and more

"I'm just a believer that things will get better, take it or leave it, but I don't wanna let it go..." American Authors had became a recent favorite band of mine, and this song especially, makes me so happy.  I feel the song and I feel that it should be the soundtrack of my life.  It's as if I am ready to charge and march on forward to whatever ahead of me.  Believer is just an awesome spirit booster when anyone needs some lifting up on bad days. (admit it, everyone has bad days and, admit it, you love this song.)

"Singing oh la la la oh la la la la...oh la la la oh la la la la..." people are getting sick of me "la la-ing" on all day long but San Cisco's songs are all so catchy and fun it's hard not to be brainwashed by them and hum their songs all day long.  Plus, these four are just such cutie pies and seem so genuine and fun, I'd love to switch lives with them.  Another plus: they make me want to wear patterned shirts.   

" I said pa, I wanna see the world, I wanna see it all, I'm gonna be all that I can be and more."  San Cisco is so cool that I can't just pick one song.

"Who's gonna catch you now, who's gonna catch you now, running so far away so far away..." San Cisco is that awesome that I can't just pick two songs.

Enjoy.
