30-Day Music Challenge
I have just wrapped up a Music Challenge on Twitter and it's just so cool to list out some of my favourites. I tried to pick songs from different artists/musicians so as to come up with a diverse list (or you would just probably see mostly David Archuleta or Sara Bareilles, The Beatles, Zayn or Panic at the Disco in here if I didn't). My Book challenge on the blog is still on-going, though, but here goes my song choices for the mean time.
Day 1: A song you like with a color in the title
Red - Sara Bareilles
Day 2: A song you like with a number in the title
69 - One OK Rock
Day 3: A song that reminds you of summertime
March Into The Sun - Echosmith
Day 4: A song that reminds you of someone you would rather forget about
Anodyne - MWK
Day 5: A song that needs to be played LOUD
Golden Days - Panic! At The Disco
