#2 Fave Song: ESCAPE

ESCAPE BY: ENRIQUE IGLESIAS 
I LOVE THIS SONG! This is such a feel-good song. It's such good pump up music when you'e getting ready for a night out. You wouldn't think that Enrique would be good pump up music, but ESCAPE totally is! I love the  music video too...it's hot.
P.S. Something went a little wrong with my countdown. I should be on #3 today but I'm clearly not...I'm pretty sure I posted two fave songs on one day, but that's okay! The countdown will just finish one day sooner

#3 Fave Song: WONDERWALL

WONDERWALL BY: OASIS
This is a song that brings me waaaaay back whenever I listen to it. So many good memories. 
It's kind of really exciting how close to the end of this list we're getting! All 29 songs are almost all posted. 
Also, on a side note, check out my Oscar Predictions for 2012 post. Let's see how accurate my predictions were. THE ACADEMY AWARDS ARE AIRING TONIGHT. I KNOW I'LL BE WATCHING, WILL YOU?

#4 Fave Song: NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US NOW

NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US NOW BY: JEFFERSON STARSHIP
This is such an awkward story: but you know those video compilations on youtube that focus on a certain couple from a tv show or movie? Well I first heard this song watching a video like about Anne and Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables. So lame, I know. But I'm going to post that video down below just because it's so great.
The original youtube video that got me hooked on this song

#5 Fave Song: BLACKBIRD

BLACKBIRD BY: THE BEATLES
first of all, who doesn't love the Beatles? Second of all, who doesn't love Blackbird? I can't pinpoint exactly what the first Beatles song I ever knew was, I think it was Hey Jude, but I know that Blackbird was one of the first, and it remains to this day one of my all time favourites; although it's so difficult to choose just one Beatles song. There are so many classics that can't be overlooked, but for the sake of this post, this is my fave.

#6 Fave Song: GRAVITY

GRAVITY BY: JOHN MAYER
This song has so many plays on my itunes. I first discovered it a couple years ago on a hungover morning. It was perfect for my mood at the time. There were a bunch of us in the car on our way to Tim Horton's and this song was playing and even though I was hungover, I was so happy to be with great people having just had a great night. Good memories; good song.

On another gravitational note, the song "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles is awesome too!

#7 Fave Song: DOWN DOWN DOWN

DOWN DOWN DOWN BY: CHARLIE SIMPSON
I discovered Charlie Simpson (a super sexy British singer) back in August 2011. I love his voice and his sexiness...and his music, of course. I also really love the song "Farmer and His Gun."

#8 Fave Song: MAN IN THE MIRROR

MAN IN THE MIRROR BY: MICHAEL JACKSON
How can anyone pick just one favourite song by Michael Jackson. Between this, The Way You Make Me Feel, Rock With You, and P.Y.T...these are my ultimate faves. 
I couldn't just pick ONE! SO a collective grouping of Michael consisting of those songs are my faves
Amazing Man!

#9 Fave Song: NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN

NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN BY: FLEETWOOD MAC
Funny story: I had a really terrible summer coming back from camp, and I set my ringtone to this song while I was there. Although that's a negative story, I still love this song so much!

#11 Fave Song: SEE THE SUN

SEE THE SUN BY: THE KOOKS
I went a to Kooks concert back in November of 2011, and while I preparing for the concert, I stumbled upon this old gem. It's from their second album (circa 2008) and I never really gave it any thought until last year. Now I love it!

#12 Fave Song: GHOSTING

GHOSTING BY: MOTHER MOTHER
If you don't know who this band is, you should be ashamed of yourself. Just kidding. They're a Canadian band from BC who are really gaining in fame right now. I discovered them a couple of years ago opening for Matthew Goode and I've been hooked ever since. This is the song that got me to love the band.

#13 Fave Song: ALL THESE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE

ALL THESE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE BY: THE KILLERS
I probably first heard this song on the OC and that's most like the reason I love it so much. It's also just a song to list your spirits. All of my fave songs seem to be about putting me in a better mood.


Honourable mention goes to MR. BRIGHTSIDE because let's be honest, who has never belted that one out alone in their room before? (and I love the music video. It reminds me of Moulin Rouge)

#14 Fave Song: SMILE

SMILE BY: NAT KING COLE
Such a feel-good song. This song is literally giving you instructions to smile and just be happy, how could you not love it?
Smile


Honourable mention goes to his song "Unforgettable" which is just an unbeatable classic.

#15 Fave Song: I MISS YOU

I MISS YOU BY: BLINK 182
I'm sure you all can tell from my previous fave songs that "punk," or whatever Blink 182 is, really isn't my absolutely favourite genre. This song though...oh it just brings me back. I love it. I don't know what it is, or why, but I just do. (And the music video is really cool and gothic)

#16 Fave Song: YOU MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE

YOU MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE BY: HALL & OATES
You know that part in (500) Days of Summer when the guys is happy he got laid and there's a little dance sequence to this song and after that everyone you know loved this song? Ya, well I loved it way before that. My parents have this thing with Hall & Oates and I guess I got into it because of them. My first ultimate favourite Hall & Oates song was Rich Girl, over-playing and Down With Webster ruined that one for me. You Make My Dreams Come True is the perfect pick-me-up song! It instantly puts me in a good mood. Sometimes I set it as my alarm in the mornings to put me in a great mood from the get-go, but not all the time because I'm sure I would come to associate it with 6am wake up calls. 

Honourable Hall & Oates mention goest to "Everytime You Go Away" which is the exact opposite of the above song. To me, Everytime You Go Away is the perfect break-up song.

#17 Fave Song: KISS ME

KISS ME BY: SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER
Who doesn't love this song? It's made an appearance in basically every teen movie from the 90's and it comes back time and time again just to remind us all how great it is
I love the singer's airy voice, and the music video is so whimsical. So pretty and lovely

#18 Fave Song: THE A TEAM

THE A TEAM BY: ED SHEERAN
I listen to this song once a day...I kid you not. I first discovered Ed Sheeran in September of 2011 and since then I've never looked back. He's like a male version of Kate Nash...amazing!
Ed Sheeran's "The A Team"

Honorable mention goes out to Ed Sheeran's "Wake Me Up." This song is legit just like Kate Nash but with testosterone.

#19 Fave Song: YOUR LOVE

YOUR LOVE BY: THE OUTFIELD
I love both the original and acoustic version of this song. My roommate and I had a jokes time watching this clip from a movie called "Dirty Girl" where a guy is stripping on top of a car to the acoustic "Your Love." So uncomfortable to watch, but so entertaining. This song is a classic 80's song and you'll notice that it's featured in a lot of 80's movies (either filmed or set in the 80's). 
(Original version)

#20 Fave Song: WALK THIS WAY

WALK THIS WAY BY: RUN-D.M.C. & AEROSMITH
A classic song originally by Aerosmith made a little hipper by Run-D.M.C. in this cover. I L-O-V-E dancing to this song, I kid you not. "It's Tricky" (also by Run-D.M.C.) also hold a special place in my musical, beating heart, but Walk This Way is too great to pass up.
