American Authors

No song will put you in a better mood than Best Day of Your Life by American Authors. But if you haven't listened to any other American Author songs, I definitely think you should. Their album Oh, What a Life is a great first album from them and is full of upbeat, fun songs. Two of my favorites are Oh, What a Life and Love. I love the lyrics in both of those songs and the music also makes them so catchy. Also, American Authors are a great band to see live. They're amazing performers and sing just as good live as they do on their album. They definitely won me over this summer & they're most definitely worth a listen!

Passenger

I think it's safe to say there isn't anyone out there who doesn't or didn't like Passenger's song Let Her Go at some point. It was and still is a GREAT song. This summer, Passenger released a new album, Whispers, which includes a whole bunch of more great songs. One of my favorites not he album is Scare Away the Dark. This song has some of the best, most real lyrics. It is not a love song or break-up song, it's simply a song about our generation in life in general. The song talks about wasting our lives away in front of computers and how we're obsessed with the internet as a whole. It also brings up our fears of flying or of shootings because we constantly hear of bad news. It is fantastically written song and I definitely think everyone should give it a listen.

"Well sing, sing at the top of your voice, love without fear in your heart. Feel, feel like you still have a choice, if we all light up we can scare away the dark."
