Song #241

Still feel. by half•alive

Released on August 3, 2018.

Fun fact: “still feel.” was born from a 50 song project. Three years ago I had challenged myself to in hopes of improving my skill as a songwriter; those sessions and songs would eventually become the foundation of half•alive. I wrote this track during a period of my life when I felt very removed from myself. I started getting used to this ‘floaty’ feeling, not being grounded in anything and consequently not being the person I was meant to be at that time. The ‘floaty-ness’ lent itself to the concept of being without gravity and the metaphors of outer space. Through the lyrics of the song we explore the theme of hope inside hopelessness and finding purpose and passion despite feeling unrooted." –Joshua Taylor (lead singer of half•alive)

Song #239

100 Bad Days by AJR

Released on January 29, 2019.

Fun Fact: The trio told Billboard: As a band, and as guys in their twenties, most of our experiences end in rejection, failure, and bad days. We wanted to write a realistic look at that… what doesn’t kill you doesn’t always make you stronger. But what doesn’t kill you always makes you more interesting.”

Song #235

A Sky Full Of Stars by Coldplay

It was released on May 2, 2014

Fun fact: According to Songfacts, Chris Martin said to Fuse: “What that song represents on Ghost Stories is the release after you’ve climbed the mountain – after you’ve done anything challenging. That’s why that song is so unashamedly happy and danceable: because that’s what it needed to be. I love singing it. I know we didn’t break the mold, but it’s just so fun to play.”

Song #230

Something To Believe In by Poison

It was released in 1990 in the album Flesh & Blood

Fun fact: The cover art for the single depicts a tattoo on Bret Michaels' (lead singer) arm of a cross with the words "Something to Believe In". The tattoo artist, according to him, had been drinking and spelled "believe" incorrectly putting the "e" before the "i". It was attempted to be corrected by adding a rose to the cross that covered the misspelling.

Song #224

Metal Guru by T. Rex

It was released in 1972 in their album The Slider

Fun fact:

Bolan himself described the song's apparent religious references as this:

Is a festival of life song. I relate 'Metal Guru' to all gods around. I believe in a god, but I have no religion. With 'Metal Guru', it's like someone special, it must be a godhead. I thought how god would be, he'd be all alone without a telephone. I don't answer the phone any more. I have codes where people ring me at certain times.
