Music hold a big spot in our house. I’ve learned one of the best ways to wake up my kids for school is by music. Music speaks to all ages of your soul and hold memories you thought you’d lost. Here’s my favorites, they tell a story.
Back in 1997 I was 11, my little sister who was 7 had passed away from a sudden illness. I know my brain had blocked out so many different memories of that day but one things it’s held on to is the last song I heard on the radio before I found out sh...
My Hero - song and lyrics by Foo Fighters
Noah Kahan has had a choke hold on my eyes lately. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s considered “depression season” here in the PNW or if it just feels right to listen to his genre because it’s fall. This song partnered with Hozier and his yell will ...
Northern Attitude (with Hozier) - Noah Kahan
What if I run away to Mars, would you find me in the stars. Would you miss me in the end, if I run out of oxygen when I run away to Mars.
His voice singing those words makes me wish I could hear this song again for the first time. It’s truly beauti...
Run Away to Mars
Talk about a song that will get you going…perfect mix of silly, screamo and singing with a beat that will get you moving. In our house it’s a good morning song to vibe to.
Pump It - song and lyrics by Electric Callboy
Another banger, I find myself constantly singing this song daily. So catchy.
God Needs The Devil - song and lyrics by Jonah Kagen
“Hypa Hypa you’re pretty and I like ya” no no Hypa Hypa THEY’RE PRETTY and I LOOOVE THEM. This song is such a banger and the video to go along with it is everything.
Hypa Hypa - song and lyrics by Electric Callboy
Everyone always talks about Alien Ant Farms remake of Smooth Criminal and totally over shadow how incredible this song it. The video is so creative to go along with the song.

If you haven’t heard this song you have to be living under a rock. Dear, Maria by ATL has been a bop and will always and forever be thee bop.
Dear Maria, Count Me In
DANCE BREAK!!! More like DANCE ALWAYS. Since its release on Oct 31st 2025 my kids and I have listened to this every morning to get up and going for the day. Electric Callboy = morning dance party.
TANZNEID - Single by Electric Callboy | Spotify
This whole album is a screamo, horror fans dream. Each track is a musical ear fest for the slasher lovers.
The Silver Scream - Album by Ice Nine Kills | Spotify
Vance Joy, Marshmallow and even Benny Blanco (I never even knew he sang!) putting this song together has become a fav of mine fast. The melody and harmony of the music and lyrics together is butter to the ears.
You (with Marshmello & Vance Joy)
“There’s no room left here on my back, it was damaged long ago. Though you swear that you are true I’d still pick my friends over you”
Take me back to my high school days with NFG, I was lucky enough to join them on stage at their concert and it’s ...
My Friends Over You
This song is a song to play when you’re moody and sad. But not sad enough to where you wanna bawl your eyes out, you just wanna scream your lungs out and TRY to keep up with Hailey’s vocals (you won’t, but that’s okay) Paramore has been a staple of t...
That's What You Get
When I think of The All American Rejects song Swing Swing it brings me back to summer of 2003. In the PNW we drive with our windows down in the warm night air whenever we get the chance. I was 17 and had a 1974 Pontiac Ventura and listening to this s...
Swing, Swing
Awe Blink, they are and will always be the band of my everythinggggg. This song was something I listened to heavily when I was going through my parents getting a divorce. I don’t even think I could count the times I’ve listened to it. Anything Blink ...
Stay Together For The Kids
This song, I wake up singing it most mornings. It just puts me in such a good mood. It’s not an up beat song by any means it’s def more mellow but it’s just so catchy.
Stick Season - song and lyrics by Noah Kahan
Some people are just so gifted it makes me wanna cry (if I could but I can’t sooo) this guy is incredibly talented. Heart breaking all the crap he had to go through with Lyme disease but gosh he’s a survivor and his words are…indescribable.
