As a general rule, you can probably find me listening to music about 70% of the time. Over the years, I have amassed a very large and diverse library of tunes and I’d like to share some of my favourites with you over the course of coming weeks. This week, my theme is pretty general: Songs that I listen to that give me hope for whatever reason. This is a big one this time of the year, with exams and all the stress and uncertainty that comes with them.
100 Years – Five For Fighting
I couldn’t figure out this song’s title for the longest time and I must say, I felt pretty stupid after finding it after many months of searching.
C.C.S. – Mixtapes
A little further off of the beaten path, Mixtapes is a band worth listening to. Hopefully their hiatus will end soon so they release more amazing material.
Save Me A Spark – Sleeping With Sirens
One of my favourite tracks off of their latest album which I reviewed here.
Sedona Sunrise – Aerosmith
I discovered one of Aerosmith’s greatest hits albums in my basement. Since that fateful time in the fifth grade, this song has been through a lot with me.
She Loves You – The Beatles

Slow, ballady love songs get old. She Loves You never will.
Oh Love – Green Day
I can’t say as Green Day’s ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! era was their greatest, but this song is worthy of the records it set.
Drugstore Perfume – Gerard Way
From Way’s 2014 solo debut album Hesitant Alien, this is a great track and offers great contrast to the rest of the record.
Things I Don’t See – Go Radio
Jason Lancaster ended up with a really good band after leaving Mayday Parade. Too bad that they broke up in 2013 after their second LP release in 2012. Lancaster now has a solo album that I’ll be checking out.
