This list was SO hard to come up with! I have so many songs I love; songs that never get obnoxious, no matter how many times I play them. I couldn’t even have a runner up list, it would have to be a ‘Part 2’ instead.
Also, this list is in no particular order. I could never put them in order.

Ten Songs That Speak to Me
#1. Bobby – Reba McEntire
(The first song that made me cry, and still makes me cry.)
♪♪ Daddy, I’ll take care of you, I’ll never let you down
No harm will ever come to you as long as I’m around
You have taught me not to fear what people say or do
The only thing I fear is being here… without you ♪♪
#2. Car Radio – Twenty One Pilots
(Twenty One Pilots is my #1 favorite band. They’re genius.)
♪♪ I ponder of something terrifying
‘Cause this time there’s no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it’s that we’re all battling fear
Oh dear, I don’t know if we know why we’re here
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound ♪♪
#3. Thinking Out Loud – Ed Sheeran
(Ed Sheeran is my #1 favorite solo artist. He speaks to my soul.)
♪♪ So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I’m thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are ♪♪
#4. Almost is Never Enough – Ariana Grande ft Nathan Sykes
(Nathan has the most beautiful voice, and together they sound like perfection.)
♪♪ If I could change the world overnight
There’d be no such thing as goodbye
You’ll be standing right where you were
And we’d get the chance we deserve
Try to deny it as much as you want
But in time our feelings will show
‘Cause sooner or later, we’ll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows ♪♪
#5. Black Roses – Nashville Soundtrack, Claire Bowen
(I love this show, but the music was exceptional. Particularly Black Roses. Click the link!)
♪♪ I can see your eyes staring into mine.
But it’s a battlefield
And you’re on the other side.
You can throw your words sharper than a knife.
And leave me cold
In another house on fire.
I lay low, lay low,
And watch the bridges burn. ♪♪
#6. Tear in My Heart – Twenty One Pilots
(Again TØP. This time a song about love.)
♪♪ You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time
But that’s okay I’ll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
I’m driving here I sit
Cursing my government
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement
Sometimes you gotta bleed to know, oh, oh
That you’re alive and have a soul, oh, oh
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how
She’s the tear in my heart ♪♪
#7. Amnesia – Five Seconds of Summer
(This is the only Five Seconds song I know, but I LOVE it.)
♪♪ The pictures that you sent me they’re still living in my phone
I’ll admit I like to see them, I’ll admit I feel alone
And all my friends keep asking why I’m not around
It hurts to know you’re happy, yeah, it hurts that you’ve moved on
It’s hard to hear your name when I haven’t seen you in so long
It’s like we never happened, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?
‘Cause I’m not fine at all ♪♪
#8. Missing You – All Time Low
(It’s kind of self-explanatory when you listen to the whole song.)
♪♪ Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can’t cover up what you’ve done,
Now don’t lose your fight, kid,
It only takes a little push to pull on through,
With so much left to do;
You’ll be missing out, and we’ll be missing you. ♪♪
#9. I’ll be Loving You Forever – New Kids on the Block
(Nostalgia plain and simple, plus my life long fandom, and my hubby singing this to me at our wedding.)
♪♪ I count the blessings that keep our love new
There’s one for me
And a million for you
There’s just so much that I want to say
But when I look at you
All my thoughts get in the way ♪♪
#10. Cop Car – Sam Hunt
(I love the whole Montevallo CD, honestly. But this one puts a grin on my face.)
♪♪ And you were like, oh
Side by side
And locked in tight
They were taking their time
But we didn’t mind
We talked
And we laughed
We sat real close
By the time they let us go
I was already gone ♪♪

Ed Sheeran is so amazing, I love him. One of my dreams is to watch him live – I had the opportunity but backed out at the last minute and I REGRET IT TO BITS AND PIECES, since my friends (who I was supposed to go with) said he was really, really good. ;___;

I have two, what I call legitimate favorites, Ed Sheeran and Twenty One Pilots. I have two fun girly pop music favorites, NKOTB and The Wanted. Ed Sheeran is the only one I haven’t seen live! I’m dying to go to his concert.

Me toooo. I’d probably pay quite a bit just to see him live.

I’ll be Loving You Forever makes me feel like a 13 year old girl drooling over Jordan Knight!

Lol. Yeah, I drooled over Joey. But that’s because each of my friends had “their own” New Kid and my BFF had Jordan.

That’s how my BFF and I were too. But luckily we both claimed who we wanted. Anyone else was automatically assigned Jon.

Great list! What goes through your mind when you hear these songs?

Each one brings out a different emotion. For instance, Car Radio by TOP makes me feel introspective (as most of their music does). Thinking Out Loud by Sheeran makes me feel romantic, snuggly. Cop Car is bubbly and sweet, like new love. Black Roses and Bobby are both songs about parents, and while neither are like my parental relationships they still make me feel so melancholy and sad.
