I’ll Be There — Mariah Carey
I absolutely love the lyrics of this song. One day I hope to play it at my wedding. And Mariah is on point with her cover.
Teenage Dream — Katy Perry
I’ve played this song 1000 times in the past three days. Considering I’ve been at work for a good portion of that time, I think it’s safe to say I love it.
Closer to Love — Mat Kearney
Mat Kearney’s voice is heartbreakingly wonderful. This song sounds so cute but it’s kind of haunting as well.
Come Back to Me — David Cook
I really like David Cook. He performed for my sorority in 2004, before I was in college, with his old band. Now look at him!
Stuck Like Glue — Sugarland
Sugarland makes feel good music. I adore this song… but I’m from Texas and I love country, so I may be biased. It’s a cute little love tune.
Good Vibrations — Glee cast
Amber Riley is a musical goddess. She could sing the alphabet and I’d buy it as a single. I always pump this up at the gym when I’m doing cardio.
Safety Dance — Glee cast
Kevin McHale is the obvious choice when it comes to the best voice on Glee. I actually hated this song before I heard Glee’s edition and now I can’t stop playing it.
Any Way You Want It — Journey
I remember going through sorority recruitment in 2005 and walking into the Theta house during third round. The chapter room doors opened and this song started blaring. I will never be able to not associate it with Kappa Alpha Theta and Charlie’s Angels.
Faithfully — Journey
I was sent this song a few years ago from a guy who was trying to court me. I didn’t even listen to it. I know what you’re thinking: how do you not know that song?! For whatever reason, I didn’t. Then I took the time to listen to it, and it’s so beautiful, emotionally charged and touching — however freaky when it’s dedicated to you by a guy you barely know. I mean, this is a song people dedicate to their spouse, not someone you haven’t even gone on a date with. Needless to say that fling never ended up going anywhere…
