Energizing Music

'Allo, friends! Happy weekend!!! It's been a crazy busy week of work, so I have been enjoying having time just to read, relax, shop, and clean. Yes- clean. My mom's coming to visit tomorrow! I am excited to see her, but that means the dishes in the sink need to be washed, extra food needs to be cooked, laundry needs to be done, and my floors and counters need to be cleaned! Only about half of that is done right now, but eh. It's still looking pretty good. ;)

Anyway, today has been filled with exciting, upbeat, and energizing music to accompany me as I work, so I thought I'd share some of my favorites from today with you all! (Let's be honest: I just couldn't choose a top 5, so I ended up with 8... Just give 'em a listen as you please. ;)

• "Drive All Night" - Needtobreathe
  
  I have shared this particular song with you all before, but hey- it's a great song! I actually woke up this morning with it in my head. Twas quite a nice way to wake up!

• "Girl Named Tennessee" - Needtobreathe
  
  My other favorite song from Needtobreathe also became a bit of an anthem for me at Vandy. Also, I may or may not have danced around my kitchen to this song while wearing Tardis knee socks and cleaning my dishes... ;)
  

• "Get Ready" - The Last Ride
  
  I first heard this song on an ESPN sports promo for the College World Series this summer... It's a great "I'm going to take over the world, and you shouldn't even try to stop me" song.

• "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)" - Fergie ft. Q-Tip & GoonRock
  
  Switching away from my apparent country theme, I am still a huge fan of The Great Gatsby soundtrack, and this number never fails to pep me up.
  

• "Cuckoo" - Adam Lambert
  
  Although I wasn't a fan of him on American Idol, I converted after I heard his first album and had the same reaction with his second. This song is just fantastic for getting ready for a party... or an epic cleaning party for 1, lol. (Slight language warning)
  

• "Trouble" - Natalia Kills
  
  I love this dance-pop song. The upbeat tempo makes you want to get up and dance the night away!
  

• "Shiver Shiver" - Walk the Moon
  
  This song has quite a different feel than the others in this list, but that's what makes me like it. Plus it has the line "Owly, you're dear to me." How can I not like it?!
  

• "My Signature Move" - Pink
  
  It was just a matter of time before a Pink song ended up in my blog again. These lyrics are fantastic. If you don't listen to any other song in my list, listen to this one for the creative lyricism. Plus, been there, done that, agree completely with the lyrics. Too fun!
  

Hope you guys enjoy the music! I'm thinking of making a playlist of all of the songs I feature on the blog this year... Opinion?
