Do I Ever Cross Your Mind? // And Im Not Trying To Ruin Your Happiness // But Darling, Dont You Know

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.

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.

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.

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.

Up until now, I had sworn to myself that I’m content with loneliness // Cuz none of it was ever worth the risk // But you are the only exception

One of my favorite love songs.  I love the story of a girl breaking down all the walls she built for this person.  These lyrics are equal parts deep and sweet, and I love the story that they tell.  Plus Hayley sounds awesome as always.

Every smile as it begins is yours and yours alone // This day is yours and yours alone // Light it up and let it go // Don’t you see that you are not alone? // Light it up and watch it fly // Cuz you can be anything you want tonight

My favorite for KING & COUNTRY song! The lyrics of this song are so beautiful and pure, and I love the instrumentation surrounding it in this song.  This song is constructed so beautifully, and this acoustic live version presents the lyrics as the forefront of the song, where they belong.  I cannot say enough about these lyrics, and I love the emotion Joel and Luke give them.
