Music connects us to what is important, it can help us reflect upon emotions or motivate us to act with decisiveness! As you started your day you might not have thought about it but you secretly wanted to hear these songs listed below, don’t ask me how I know this I just do. Well, as the kind knight that I am I’ve got you covered, because here they are:

 

1: Vanha Sydän

 

We start out with a bittersweet song. ‘Old heart’ is a musical piece about being stuck at a difficult spot. Abandoning old emotions can feel disrespectful towards beautiful memories, but remembering all to well hurts you because you’ll cling to something that is already gone. It’s a struggle between embracing the current emptiness or holding on to what isn’t real anymore.

As the song starts Erin complains about her old old heart, why doesn’t it sing to her anymore?

As we get to the refrain she remembers the past and delights in it. She speaks of the magical feeling of being in love.

The song progresses and it dawns on Erin that it hurts to remember. Instead of complaining why her old heart won’t sing to her, she begs it to stop.

 

The melody along with the vulnerability of Erin’s voice conspires together to create a great song. The video empowers this work even further by the clear distinction between the refrain and the rest of the song.

2: Don’t Stop

 

Continuing on we have Isa and her contribution to the Swedish contest Melodifestivalen where participants seek to win and get to compete in Eurovision song contest. There aren’t that many good songs in this competition and unfortunately Isa did not win in 2015.

The lyrics are on english and doesn’t require much explanation; she is enthusiastic about being in love. It’s a simple catchy song with great rhythm. It mixes a great deal of confidence with a confession of having fallen in love.

3: Love Shack

 

In 1989 the B-52’s made a wacky song about going to the love shack; a literal place where people can get together. It’s a happy and fun song with a classy melody. You got everything from Fred Schnieder bragging about his car that is as big as a whale to funky moves on the dance floor.

A perfect song to enhance a good mood,

4: If You Only Knew

 

The Shinedown created a oddity with this song. If You Only Knew is a song about missing the love of your life but it still manages to contain some sort of warmth. Perhaps it’s through the melody and instrumental artistry but the song has a sincerity to it that conveys that the singer Brent Smith may be in trouble but still has faith. The song is ambiguous about his chances for success, we also don’t know if he has already confessed his feelings or are too shy to. It all centers around the notion that if he can express himself honestly everything will work out. It isn’t a sad song but a very sincere and serious one.

5: Too Cool For School

 

Oh dear, it seems this list of songs accidentally consists of 4 love songs, a palate cleanser should be in order right about now. Luckily our last song solves this dilemma for us. If you’ve tagged along in this musical endeavor you’ll need a song to get back to everyday tasks and there is no better way to day that than in a cool way.

Fountains Of Wayne manages to articulate the essence of coolness in this song. After listening to this song you’ll be able to take on anything with charismatic cold calculation. Yes cheesy love songs might be fine and all but sometimes you don’t have time to obsess over feelings, sometimes stuff needs to get done.
