Musical Mondays

Hello all! Good Morning and welcome to the new segment of my blog: Musical Mondays. Basically I'm show casing some of my favorite music of the week whether it be a band or just songs from my playlist at home. Music is important to me because it can get you pumped for the day, calm you down in times of distress, cheer you up, or just express what you can't seem to in words.

Today I'm going to be raving about one of my favorite bands, who I didn't know they were my favorite band until recently, The Strokes. I absolutely love them and their style of music. I found out their music makes me extremely happy and makes my mood from terrible to ecstatic and ready to conquer the day. They really help me put a gloomy ugly day to a cheerful one.

Here are some of my favorite songs by them:










This last song "Undercover of Darkness" has a special meaning to me because this is what got me through emotionally when my grandpa died. I had found out at school and thankfully Ben was with me because I kinda was in shock and then broke down completely. It was a huge shock. I had this song on repeat the whole day. Even today I have a hard time listening to it because it reminds me so much of my grandpa. Because of the upbeat beat I imagine him walking into the light and be sprinting behind him saying "Don't go that way" and him saying "I'll wait for you" like in the lyrics. I didn't know him that well but I know for a fact we would have gotten along so well. Distance sucks. 
That's all for today's Musical Monday. Thanks for sticking around and listening to my little story. I hope you all have a nice day of summer.
