So, I suppose April showers bring May freezing winds and winter-like weather?!?!?! It has not quite been the nice, warm Spring that I love here in the Midwest... but you know what I have been loving lately? The new tunes that have been released! I have been rocking out to my new May playlist, with all the feels for all the different moods. 

Happy November! Today is a good day... It was an amazing 70 degrees here today in good ol' Indiana, and it felt amazing. I went to Zumba for the first time in about a month, sweat a lot, and loved it. Now I am sitting here watching the Chicago Cubs dominate the first few innings of game 6. What would be the perfect thing to cap off this joyous Tuesday?!? A TOP 10 PLAYLIST OF COURSE!
Here's my latest top 10 that I have been listening to... enjoy!


1. "Strong" by Dropout and Wesley Finn Tucker
        (Great motivation song, great beat)
2. "Not Easy" by Alex Da Kid and X-Ambassadors
        (It's just one of those I could have on repeat for hours)
3. "Let Your Heart Hold Fast" by Fort Atlantic
        (It's not new, but doesn't mean it's not fantastic)
4. "11 Blocks" by Wrabel
        (I just picture him writing this walking the streets of NYC...)
5. "Inside the Lines" by Mike Perry and Casso
         (Well this would get me up on the dancefloor!)
6. "Way Down We Go" by Kaleo
         (I want Kaleo and Hozier do a Battle... it would be so soulfully epic...)
7. "Perfect Illusion" by Lady Gaga
          (She sang it on "Carpool Kareoke" = flawless)
8. "Can I Be Him" by James Arthur
          (First one I've heard from him... hope there is more to come!)
9. "After the Afterparty" by Charli XCX and Lil Yachty
          (Sounds like a typical Charli XCX song, but it's cathy- for now at least!)
10. "Hey Baby" by Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike
          (Another dance song to end the list)

Well, that'll do it for tonight! Have a fabulous evening music lovers!

Much Love,
Tracy

Well, fall is in full affect... the leaves are changing, sweaters are out, and I'm getting sick of all my summer songs... This means a new "2016 Fall" playlist has started, and I have not been disappointed! There have been some great new ones I've recently discovered, so I'm excited to share with you my Top 10 Playlist to get you through the rest of your week. Enjoy!


1. "All We Know" by the Chainsmokers and Phoebe Ryan
            (MAN! I love the Chainsmokers... everything I hear gets stuck in my head for 2 months)
2. "All Time Low" by Jon Bellion
             (While it's quite the depressing break up song, it is catchy!)
3. "This Town" by Niall Horan
              (It's official, 1D is never, ever, ever, getting back together)
4. "Home We'll Go" by Walk Off the Earth
           (Build up, build up, build up, drop that... BANJO SOLO! Heck yes)
5. "This Girl" by Kungs vs Cookin' on 3 Burners
            (Head bobbin, hips swayin, my kind of jam)
6. "The Greatest" by Sia and Kendrick Lamar
           (Oh Sia, how I wish I could sing like you...)
7. "Mercy" by Shawn Mendes
           (I feel like I want to be friends with Shawn, he's just a nice guy)
8. "Hell No" by Ingrid Michaelson
           (Angry girl anthem, huzzah!)
9. "Side to Side" by Ariana Grande
           (Work it girl)
10. "Numb" by Witt Lowry
           (Cause you should know by now how much I love ending a playlist with some rhapsody)

Night music lovers!
Much Love,
Tracy

All this week, there was not a single time I logged onto Facebook where I did not see WOTE's cover of "Closer" by the Chainsmokers and Halsey at the top of my news feed. People have been sharing it like crazy, and I don't blame them... IT IS AWESOME!! Walk Off the Earth is one of those that I can forget about them for a little bit, and then they come out with something like "Closer" and I remember why I enjoy them so much. I think they are one of the most creative bands/cover artists out there. You can tell all the videos they shoot are lower budget, but that is the beauty: all you focus on is their amazing voices, the unusual instruments they use, and the raw talent each member has.

They first started gaining a large fan base after their cover of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" went viral. I remember seeing their video and just watching with my mouth open in awe. They had one guitar, and created the whole song with each person having a specific part to play. No gimmicks, no big production... just a big guitar and lots of talent. I loved it!

Every video since then has not disappointed. They make each song have its own vibe, and even though they cover another artist, WOTE makes the song their own by putting their own creative spin on it. I love that each is in a different location (tour bus, beach, garage, etc.), with different instruments, but you can tell it is their sound as soon as you hear it. You can see the passion they have behind every song they do, whether it's a cover or an original, and that is what makes them so great.

Because "Closer" has been so popular, I thought I would share my favorite songs performed by WOTE. Enjoy!
