Abby's November Picks

Halloween is over so you know what that means...It's officially okay to start preparing for Christmas! Well, after Thanksgiving if you live in the U.S. but still. I thought I'd get a kick start on this month by talking about a few songs I'm currently listening to. So get out your mug of tea and your oversized sweater and get comfortable...let's go.

Team by Lorde

This is my favorite song by Lorde so far, and I don't really know why. You can groove to it I guess, it's just so CATCHY and her voice is so good. And she's right, I AM tired of throwing my hands up in the air, SO THERE. It's awesome and she's awesome.

Standing in the Dark by Lawson

It's just really nice and it gives me a lot of feelings that's really it.

 

Chocolate by the 1975

Have I mentioned that the 1975 are my current favorite band? Yeah they are. Apparently they're an alternative band from Manchester (I read all of that in an English accent by the way.) Chocolate is so good, and as someone who loves chocolate I can relate quite heavily to this song. 

Sweater Weather by the Neighbourhood

I didn't think I would like Sweater Weather but I just can't help it. It may reek slightly of hipster-indie garbage but who cares? It's still nice and I know the feeling of having a comfy sweater with long floppy sleeves to hide your hands in. 

I Wanna be Yours by Arctic Monkeys 

I have so many feelings about this song it's ridiculous. It's so strange and has weird lyrics (wanna be your vacuum cleaner/breathe in your dust) but somehow it's so beautiful, it reminds me of like a bizarre relationship that's a mystery to most people but somehow it completely works. Also if you like your coffee hot/let me be your coffee pot is just the greatest set of lyrics ever sorry not sorry. 

Shiver Shiver by Walk the Moon

The whole EP is excellent to study to, but I like Shiver Shiver the most. I don't know why, but I found that it flowed nicely with this whole theme of November. This is probably because of how damned cold it is right now. 

Blue Jeans by Lana Del Rey

This was at one point my favorite Lana song. I love the religious imagery, the slow build, the wistful chorus, it's just all so perfect. It also has one of my all time favorite lyrics: you fit me better than my favorite sweater. It's a masterpiece. Also the video scared the crap out of my friend so that's also a plus.
