The Fact Is Fiction // Suspicion Is The New Religion // America Listens As The Story Is Told // With

The fact is fiction // Suspicion is the new religion // America listens as the story is told // With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds // But the ratings determine which story was sold // We’re selling the news

Every word of this Switchfoot song rings true.  In the current climate of America, dominated by “fake news” and “alternative facts”, this song is more accurate than ever. Jon Foreman captures the spirit of the powers that be spinning the truth to benefit them, something we’re seeing a lot of right now. One great thing about this song is that it spans many genres, with rap-like verses mixing into their signature alt rock sound. With his amazing lyrics and great voice, this song is a must hear.

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

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.

Hey there Delilah, don’t you worry about the distance // I’m right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen // Close your eyes // Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise // I’m by your side

Hands down one of the best love songs ever written.  This song will never not be sweet.  These lyrics are absolutely amazing and capture the spirit of a long distance relationship with a musician perfectly.

Baby, you're like lightning in a bottle // I can't let you go now that I've got it // And all I need is to be struck by your electric love Love this song by BØRNS. It has an older quality to the production and his voice, and it gives it a cool vintage feel when listening to it, which works great. I love his voice in it as well and how it meshes with the music.
