Top 5 Songs of the Week: Feel Good Mellows

Hey guys! As promised, I'm gonna do a round up of my favorite songs of the week! My choice of songs this week are quite random. When I listen to them I just feel better especially when I feel down or not at my best so here it goes! :)

Top 5: In Christ Alone by Owl City

I was browsing through Youtube for Christian Songs for our special number presentation next week and found this. I didn't think that Owl City composed and sung Christian songs. I love Owl City. Their songs are so nice and smooth to the ears. My favorite line of the song would probably be, "What heights of love, what depths of peace
. When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
. My comforter, my all-in-all
. Here in the love of Christ I stand." It's such a beautiful song. I really recommend you listen to it.




Top 4: Helium Hearts by Jason Reeves


I also found this song while browsing through Parachute videos on Youtube. This is one of the many other songs of Jason Reeves that I love. I also love the music video, so cute! :)




Top 3: Turning Page by Sleeping at Last


This song was actually on the soundtrack of the new Twilight movie "Breaking Dawn". It was played during their wedding and honeymoon. I loved the melody and I searched for the lyrics. So lovely! I downloaded the whole soundtrack of the movie and this is the only song in it that I can't stop listening to :) My favorite lines would be, "Your love is my turning page, where only the sweetest words remain. Every kiss is a cursive line, every touch is a redefining phrase. I surrender who I've been for who you are, for nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart. If i had only felt how it feels to be yours, well, i would have known what I've been living for all along. What I've been living for."




Top 2: Kiss Me Slowly by Parachute

This my all time favorite song from my favorite band in the world! :) This is my feel good song whenever I need some cheering up. It's just so nice. And the lyrics are meaningful and so nakakakilig! :) My favorite part of the song is the bridge, "And it's hard to love again, when the only way it's been, when the only love you knew, just walked away. If it's something that you want, Darling you don't have to run, you don't have to go."




Top 1 Song of the Week: I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz

I actually liked this song because I was watching Jayeslee and their cover of I Won't Give Up and so I looked for the original one. It's really nice. I promise you, when you watch it, 5 minutes of your life won't be wasted!


I Won't Give Up
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough, he knows (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up






So there it is! My first "Top 5 Songs of the Week". I hope you enjoy listening to all of them. :)

Cheers!
Hannah :)
