My Top 5 "Give Me Feelings" Songs

Does anyone else love and appreciate song lyrics as much as I do? Maybe that's because I enjoy reading and writing so much, but that's how I determine if I like a song or not. It doesn't matter much to me the genre or the beat or whether it's old or new or any of that. What matters to me about a song is whether it can make me feel something. Anything at all. Can it get me through a breakup? Can it make me want to dance around my kitchen? Does it remind me of the happiest moment of my life? Does it remind me how incredibly badass I really am as a woman and a mom?

So, here are my top 5 songs that give me some type of feeling and the reason behind them.{In no particular order} Enjoy!

1. Own Roses-Nikita Karmen https://youtu.be/fEZP7hKkgMo

I first heard this song after my divorce and to this day, I still listen to it and belt it out like no one is watching. (If they were, I really wouldn't care anyway) My favorite line in this song is

"Always thought I'd need somebody, To lay my roots to me"

Reason being because I never thought I could do life on my own. I always thought I needed a man around.

2. The Story - Jana Kramer https://youtu.be/IvUk9_ex7oU

This one I came across when a friend shared it on Facebook and BOY did it shatter me!!! If you're a single mom, DO NOT listen to it without tissues!!! My oldest son listened to this with me once or twice too and he tears up at it as well. Here's the good news about this one though. The lyrics, they say that the kids are the best thing to ever happen to her and that she DID try her hardest.

3. Hey 3am - Olivia Lane https://youtu.be/yEGJa6JGh84

This one came to me when I moved into my own place after not being on my own for 12 years. I started not sleeping well, waking up multiple times in the night and not being able to get back to sleep. This song talks about waking up at 3am and basically becoming besties with that time because she's always awake then and telling her thoughts and asking her questions that are keeping her up to the universe. Hoping by the end of the song that she can say peace out 3am.

4. All My Favorite Songs - Weezer feat. AJR https://youtu.be/86jeSodhfXw

There's a couple of reasons I like this one. I came upon it randomly and then happened to use it for a reel that worked out quite well. you can find it here if you're interested. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1307490150035552 Recently though, my boys have gotten into Weezer and this is one of their favorites so we all like to sing and dance to it together.

5. Moments to Memories - Adeline Hill https://youtu.be/QaI25waWlsU

This song is one of those, 'sing at the top of your lungs' songs. It's just an all around feel good song that makes me happy every time I hear it.

That does it for my top five songs that give me the feelings. I hope you enjoyed and I hope you checked them out and could relate or get something out of them as well. Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment! Happy Sunday!!
