Would anyone like to recommend some songs for me? Pweeease? Because I love you? :3

Hello my lovelies! :D

I'm trying to fix up my ipod before going to college, so that means I'm going to be deleting a lot of songs I don't listen to as well as adding new songs to enjoy.

I was just wondering if you guys could recommend me any songs or artists that you like a lot.(: I'd really like to get a bunch of new music for my ipod (since I'm probably going to be deleting a heck of a lot of songs).

I'd really like some upbeat and fun music and some beautiful music that you'd listen to if you were feeling emotional or creative. And I also love music with a unique sound - like music from different countries or music that uses a wide range of instruments. If you have any of that, I would love it if you recommended it to me! C: 

I'm also trying to find some songs that aren't Asian because, well, I should really be exploring music from other parts of the world; I think I have enough Asian music to last me a lifetime. xD But if you have any really great Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, or Thai songs, I would really love to listen to them. I'm well versed in Korean music, but I really would like to get to know music from other parts of the world better. So recommed me artists from your country that you really enjoy if you'd like! =D

And since you're all recommending me songs, I'll recommend you some too, just in case you guys want new songs of your own. :]

Here's some songs that I've found recently and have really enjoyed (note: these are all gonna be English songs, because I know a lot of you guys say that there aren't any good songs sung in English, but that's really not true. There are a lot of great artists out there - you just have to find them. So here are some of my favorite songs in English. Also keep in mind that I'm artsy and like the kind of music that most people would associate with hipsters and artsy fartsy types and druggies ;D)

  • National Anthem by Lana Del Rey
  • Diet Mountain Dew by Lana Del Rey
  • Lofticries by Purity Ring
  • The Ocean (Original Mix) by Paul van Dyk ft. Arty [this is a trance song, so there's really no lyrics - just a great beat]
  • Arristea by Mint Julep
  • Aviary by Mint Julep
  • Pretend You're Alive by Lovedrug
  • Blackout by Lovedrug
  • Alison by Slowdive
  • Monday by Fair
  • This is Twice Now by Lydia
  • Living Together by Circa Survive (Circa Survive is my favorite band, and this is my favorite song of theirs <3)
  • And for something in the Asian circuit, if you haven't listened to Younha before, YOU SIMPLY MUST LISTEN TO HER MUSIC. The song I fell in love with is called Run. But listen to her new album - it's amazing. She should definitely be waaaay more popular; her voice is GORGEOUS.

 

Let's have a music sharing party! Share your music with me! :3

Jena Lee from France had amazing music. I love "Le Temps", "J'oublie", "Je me perds", and "j'aimerais tellement", but anything by her is amazing.
Japan - Kalafina is a must, my favorites being "ARIA", "Red Moon", and "Magia".
Rin has music fused with the koto and other traditional instruments. "Fuhen" is one of my favorites.
Taiwan - DA Mouth - EVERYTHANG!
Mexico - Camila - "Mientes"

I know there's tons more...I just can't think of them right now XD
