CHRISTMAS MUSIC FOREVER

Every year for as long as I've had this little blog I've loved sharing my favorite holiday songs! This year it completely slipped my mind in the hustle and bustle of college. So I decided instead of creating a playlist special for this year that I would share my ENTIRE holiday playlist. It's years in the works guys. 3 straight hours of my favorite Christmas picks plus I'll most likely be updating it throughout the season as I find new songs. The best part is that it's just on apple music so all you have to do is click the link!

LISTEN HERE!!!

PLAYLIST NO. 15 A VERY LOVELY HOLIDAY

Holiday songs have always been one of the things that I look forward to most during the holidays. For the past few years it has been so fun for me to put some of my favorites together on a playlist for you guys. Wit that said I hope you all enjoy the third annual lovely holiday playlist!

A VERY LOVELY HOLIDAY (MIX NO. 15) from madipritt

MIX NO. 14

Guys it has been so long since I've made one of these (I stalked my own archives and found that its been over 9 months since I've done one) which is not okay! The other night me and a dear friend were listening to music and he told me that I had the most wonderful taste in music. It just got me thinking that I really need to throw another lovely playlist out there. Please excuse the insane lateness of this playlist and enjoy the songs.
*and just so you all are aware I have this year's Christmas playlist coming in hot so hold on to your seats. If you absolutely can not wait until that one is up you can enjoy the past 2014 & 2013 holiday playlists to hold you over.

SONG (& song commentary) LIST:
(play button at the bottom of this post)

1. great big storm // nate ruess

honestly one of the theme songs of my senior year so far. There's a weird part in it but just ignore that…

2. you are in love // taylor swift

why on Earth is this song such a secret!? *if you want need to find it on iTunes don't just search "Taylor Swift" you have to search "you are in love" to uncover it from the deep dark corners of iTunes. You're welcome everybody

3. can't help falling in love with you // haley reinhart

This song makes my heart melt. Every. Single. Time. So does the commercial it was in  

4. cheap sunglasses // rac

We all have one person in our lives that we can relate this song to don't deny it

5. wasn't expecting that // jamie lawson

The music video for this song will melt your heart even more than song #3 on this list did

6. come to me // goo goo dolls

I know what you're thinking… Goo Goo Dolls what the heck? But it's good trust me

7. dancing in the moonlight // top loader

Added to the wedding reception playlist that I may or may not be making for one day…

8. holding on holding out // tall heights

How did I even find this song?

9. from eden // hozier

I've had this one up my sleeve for quite a while (but then again I haven't made a playlist in a while either)

10. hide away // daya

I know this is basic because it's on the radio but that doesn't make it any less good (and the words she's singing about are NOT a sub song to Jacob just throwing that out there. He's golden.)

11. kiss me // sixpence none the richer

me & my co-worker's favorite pandora station to play in the studio

12. sound & color // alabama shakes

do yourself a favor and watch Apple's latest commercial featuring this song. You won't regret that 30 seconds. Don't judge me for being nerdy and into that kind of stuff

13. love me like you do (abbey road performance) // ellie goulding

I don't care what song it is, the acoustic version is always better. This one sounds straight out of a Disney princess movie when you get to the middle of it

14. octahate // ryn weaver

this one is also slightly on the basic side but still good

15. prettiest thing // oh darling

I wanted to make a homecoming video to this song SO bad!! I ended up going a different direction with it (you can see it here) but I still hope I find a video to use this song in sometime

16. sunrise // norah jones

whenever I get the chance to take a nap you can pretty much bet that this song is playing

17. without love // hairspray

this one's for you Syd Stagg. Xoxo

18. listen to the man // george ezra

Ignore the part in the middle where they're talking… I don't know what happened…

19. you are enough // sleeping at last

another one I've been saving for quite a while

20. someone new // hosier

ignore the first 20 seconds of this one… sorry guys I don't know what happened again. 8 tracks changes the files I upload I think.

21. resolution // matt corby

saving one of the best for last (or almost last)

22. bones // josh record

If you can tell me the episode of Grey's Anatomy this if from then we are most likely soul sisters

23. as we ran // the national parks

used in a recent video (you can watch here) my videos wouldn't be half as descent without good songs

Goodbye To Summer + Mixtape

It pains me to be saying goodbye to the wonderful time that has been summer 2014. I have had so many adventures to places like California and the lovely Chicago. I have had a grand time picking bugs out of my bed and dirt out from under my fingernails at girls camp. I have had my testimony strengthened and made incredible friendships at EFY. I have made countless memories on nights out with friends. All in a matter of a few months. I hope I never forget the moments I had during possibly my best summer yet. Thanks for the memories.
