Philip Phillips/ Home
Oh American Idol, I should probably quit you. But, I don't. And this year's winner, Philip Phillips, has arguably the best "winners single" of any Idol. I know the winners haven't had a ton of success in the last bunch of years, but this song is so radio ready....I hope this kid goes far.
John Mayer/ Age of Worry
John Mayer's new album is incredible and I cannot stop listening to 'Age of Worry' - such a fantastic song, with its vague sea shanty lilt and John hitting the lower notes in his rage. Plus I feel like the lyrics are supposed to be sending me a very specific message...though I haven't figured out what it is yet: 'Close your eyes and clone yourself/ Build your heart an army/ To defend your innocence/ While you do everything wrong/ Don't be scared to walk alone/ Don't be scared to like it'
Greg Laswell featuring Sara Bareilles/ Come Back Down
Two of my very favorites on one heart-wrenching piano rock song? Yes please!
fun./ One Foot
This is the song fun. opened with when I saw them and it has been permanently stuck in my head since then. Everything about it is perfection - the brassy horns in the opening, the vaguely marching band feel, the keep on keeping on message. LOVE IT SO MUCH.
