There's something about love that's just so difficult, and frustrating. Sometimes I feel like it's not even worth it. But really, there's always that person who gives you hope, who makes you believe, who breaks down those walls and churns up those stomach butterflies.
Music Monday #12 - Love's As Simple as "1, 2, 3, 4"
Music Monday #11 - Robert Downey Jr. Lip Syncs to Elton John
Because the only thing better than Robert Downey Jr. is Robert Downey Jr. lip syncing... to Elton John.
I Want Love
I want love, but it's impossible A man like me, so irresponsible A man like me is dead in places Other men feel liberated
I can't love, shot full of holes Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold Don't feel nothing, just old scars Toughening up around my heart
But I want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love I want, I want love
I want love on my own terms After everything I've ever learned Me, I carry too much baggage Oh man I've seen so much traffic
So bring it on, I've been bruised Don't give me love that's clean and smooth I'm ready for the rougher stuff No sweet romance, I've had enough
Music Monday #10 - Love Songs to Hate
Just because they are love songs, doesn't mean we have to love them.
This week's Music Monday is taking a bit of a twist. Rather than focus on love songs we can't get enough of, we're listing the ones that don't quite make the cut. Over the top, corny songs that aren't exactly on our favorites list- Love songs to hate. Or maybe for some of you, hate to love?! After all, not everyone has the same taste and just because they aren't our favorites doesn't mean they aren't yours.
Personally I can't listen to "My Heart Will Go On" without being utterly sick of it and picturing Leo and Kate "flying" on the front of a ship, but The Loveumentary's Music Monday playlists are all about sharing the love and the music. And if Celine is a favorite of yours, we couldn't let you miss out!
The playlist is a true collaboration, blending genres, styles and decades. A few of the artists include John Mayer, The Cardigans, James Blunt, and Lionel Richie. Take a listen and see if you agree, or recommend some of your own love songs to hate and hate to love!
While I happily admit I was an *NSYNC fan back in the day (I was in high school, are you really surprised?), this song was still never a favorite of mine. But what "This I Promise You" lacks musically, it makes up for visually with a little JT '00s highlights and curls throwback. Enjoy!
Music Monday #9 - Share the Love
Music Monday #8 - 90's Love Songs
Music Monday #7 - Unspoken Love
Music Monday #6 - Old Fashioned Love
This playlist is the classiest thing I've ever listened to. I feel like $100 every time I hit the play button. These are the kinds of songs you want to kitchen dance to with your sweetheart. They're the kinds of songs that will make you pine for each other. They're the songs that make you want to kiss on the mouth late into the night.
Music Monday #5 - Self Love
Love is one of the strongest emotions we have the privilege to experience. But it is not just something we feel towards another. It is something that starts from within. Because how can we expect another to love us if we do not first love ourselves?
“The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.”― Diane Von Furstenberg
This week's installment is a celebration of self love, empowerment, appreciation and overall zest for life. The toe-tapping collaboration is an everyday, feel good mix, including uplifting tracks by artists such as The Postal Service, Ellie Goulding, LCD Soundsystem, and many more.
This Music Monday playlist is available on both spotify and 8tracks. Listen. Share. Enjoy. Happy Monday and feel the love <3
