I Promise If Youre With Me, Say The Word And Well Find A Way // I Can Be Your Lost Boy, Your Last Chance

I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way // I can be your lost boy, your last chance // Your everything better plan

Love this song from All Time Low!  I love the story, and how he compares it all to Peter Pan and Wendy.  Alex’s voice sounds great in this song, and the variation of intensity in his singing helps to tell the tale beautifully as well. Probably my favorite All Time Low song. 

All we need is hope // And for that, we have each other

Absolutely beautiful song by Andra Day.  Her voice is so soulful and honest and raw.  She brings the emotion into these lyrics so well, and these lyrics are so powerful on their own.  She is such a powerhouse vocalist.

All that I am, all that I ever was // Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see

One of the sweetest songs ever written.The lyrics of this song are so sweet. Sometimes you just wanna lay with someone and forget the world.  This video is also pretty awesome!

You don't know what you lost, boy // Too busy chasing stars // You're always gonna fly away just because you know you can // You're never gonna learn there's no such place as Neverland // You don't understand

Love this song from Kelsea Ballerini. I love the lyrics of this song, and comparing someone who can't grow up to Peter Pan. Her voice sounds awesome in this song, and I'm hoping she wins a Grammy for it!

Your heart is beating, alive and breathing // And there’s a reason why // You are essential, not accidental 

Love this song by Jordan Feliz. The lyrics tell a story of helping someone to find their self worth.  The music in the song helps to build up the emotion as well, and his voice portrays the feeling well as well. 

Do I ever cross your mind? // And I’m not trying to ruin your happiness // But darling, don’t you know that I’m the only one for you?

Love this Shawn Mendes song!  I love the John Mayer-esque style of this song, and the raw emotion he has.  Shawn Mendes has really grown since Handwritten, and this song from Illuminate highlights that perfectly.  Not only does his songwriting have a lot more emotional depth, not that Handwritten didn’t have a lot of great songs, but his voice has become a lot better.  His slightly raspy tone mixed with those guitar riffs really makes this song so special. He captures the turmoil in these lyrics perfectly. This song is definitely one of the best on Illuminate, even though it doesn’t get as much credit as his other singles.
