Music Monday: Cold

I don't know if this will be a weekly thing, but for now, it (hopefully) will be, as I try to post on this blog weekly.

I'm also gonna have to start thinking of some organized way to choose my music. By artist, by genre, by theme... I dunno. But since the temperature is dropping again, since the polar vortex a few weeks ago, this week's music will be music that is somehow related to the cold.

1. Shiver Shiver - Walk the Moon

... I'm watching the video for the first time as I'm writing this, and I'll admit, yes, it is pretty random and strange. But if you click go to the Youtube page and watch the video, you'll see their explanation in the description. Basically, they're making series of "officially unofficial" music videos from scratch, without a budget or film crew or anything. I must say, the dance moves are en point.

Back to the actual song; like most music I end up listening to, I first heard this on a Songza playlist I was listening to while reading. And after this song played, I couldn't study anymore because it took me out of my studying mood because it's one of those songs that make you feel really happy and good about yourself.  If you're into poppy indie music, this is a good one.

2. Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood
I first heard this song in a dance video (pasted down below). A little known fact is that I really, really, really like watching people dance.
My absolute favourite part about this song is the transition from the upbeat rock groove into a slower ballad-kinda feel (yeah, I'm real great at describing things, but you know what I'm talking about!!).

Cool fact! In the demo version of this song, the verses were rapped (rapped?) instead of being sung.

3. A Jagged Gorgeous Winter - The Main Drag
I first came across this song while playing Rock Band. It's a cute, fun, fast pop-rock song. Again, as I'm writing this, I'm watching the music video for the first time in a while. Watch it. They pretend to be Calvin and Hobbes, hehehe.

Stay warm! And if you already are
... booooooooooooo.
