Astoria-Marianas Trench https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYcDgRv53lk
This track means a lot to me because it is by my favorite band, who I saw and met in February. I think it is a great opening song on their new album and is inspiring. One of the ending lines is also my tattoo, so it means a lot to me. It was also the opening when I saw them live, and it was amazing to see.
Ever After-Marianas Trench https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cts6y-v7hhU
Ever After has been a song I have listened to a lot, it makes me feel empowered and is another opening number on the band’s third album. The album actually tells a story with the song, and each song leads into each other, which I find genius and amazing. There are memories caught up in this song.
Welcome to the Show-Adam Lambert ft. Laleh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z73fSxKpYmA
This song welcomes me to the life of Adam Lambert, and I like the feeling this gives. It also makes me feel like I am welcoming people into my own life. This makes me feel cool, not going to lie.
Best Song Ever-One Direction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_v9MY_FMcw
Best Song Ever is a song that gets played in the summer on the boat by my dad on the boat, and by my roommate and I on occasion. It reminds me of good times, and we can also recite the music video lines, which is always fun. It was also the closer to their concert we saw at the shoe, so it is nice to have the memory as well.
Desperate Measures-Marianas Trench https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTiIAW7qmGU
Desperate Measures is my ultimate jam. It makes me so happy when it comes on, it is catchy and dancy and everything you could want in a song. The music video is funny and the lyrics are great.
And So It Goes-Marianas Trench https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3EsAVX3gAo
This a cover, but it is an acapella version. I think the song’s lyrics are meaningful, you can relate to them in some way. It is also a beautiful song and fun to sing.
Lover Dearest-Marianas Trench https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqGVOSkAY4M
Lover Dearest is a song about the lead singer’s drug addiction. It is a beautiful, yet sad song because of this, it is a letter to his drug. It is emotional on stage. It is a very emotion-filled song, even if you haven’t ever been addicted to a drug.
End of an Era-Marianas Trench https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqHJ8oOXJDY
This song is the last song of their newest album, and I love it so much because it references all of the bands past albums in some way, whether it be in lyrics or the music itself. It also has so much meaning to me because of what I was feeling while listening to it. It is an amazing, cathartic song. I also saw this performed live, it was the closer to the show as well.
