bday 35 playlist
Following in the footsteps of my last few birthdays, I put together a playlist to play on my birthday extravaganza – fancy way of saying “out-for-the-day-with-E” 🙂
I divided them up into the original list and then the extras I didn’t make it to, with definitions of why each was included. WHAT FUN! I did get to use an iTunes gift card from Christmas, and had a pretty huge wishlist on iTunes waiting for me… I also had the added enhancement of @astoldbyjen (as told by jen) Glee tracks 🙂
I hope you find some music inspiration in my choices!

| 3. | Umbrella/Singin’ in the Rain (Glee Cast Version) | Gwyneth Paltrow/Matt Morrison | According to Jen: Glee: The Music – Season 2, Vol 3 | 2010 |

| 4. | Ignorance | Paramore | Brand New Eyes | 2009 |
| a new paramore track i didn’t have. | ||||
| 5. | Supermassive Black Hole | Muse | Twilight Soundtrack | 2009 |
| one of my fav twilight songs, this album introduced me to Muse and Paramore and more. | ||||
| 6. | Fireflies | Owl City | Ocean Eyes | 2010 |
| i first really heard this at Craig and Krista’s wedding weekend. pretty | ||||
| 7. | Remembering Sunday | All Time Low | So Wrong, It’s Right (Bonus Track Version) | 2007 |
| recommended for me from iTunes – lead singer is Juliet Simms of Automatic Loveletter. AL was introduced to me by @astoldbyjen. very nice mix of voices, and pretty guitar. | ||||
| 8. | Journeyman (Main Title Theme) | Amanda Ghost & The Rural | Journeyman (Theme Song from “Journeyman”) – Single | 2007 |
| song one of journeyman trilogy, for obvious reasons | ||||
| 9. | Lucky Man | The Verve | Urban Hymns | 1997 |
| song two of journeyman trilogy, this song was on one of the last eps and was so perfect. | ||||
| 10. | How We Operate | Grey’s Anatomy Cast | Grey’s Anatomy: The Music Event | 2011 |
| song three of the journeyman trilogy, this is journeyman aka kevin mckidd aka dr. owen hunt – singing for the special musical episode. i loved this song, but i love the journeyman version even more. | ||||
| 11. | I’d Rather Be With You | Joshua Radin | Simple Times | 2008 |
| i can’t remember how i heard of this, it may be another one iTunes recommended to me. i see (wikipedia) he’s had songs on Eli Stone, Bones, Grey’s Anatomy, House, and Leverage! i wrote “e” next to this song because i knew he’d like. and the lyrics are adorable. | ||||
| 12. | Rolling In the Deep | ADELE | 21 | 2011 |
| heard first on the I Am Number Four previews, and then heard @astoldbyjen talking about Adele. had to have it, it rocks. | ||||
| 13. | I Remain | Alanis Morissette | Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture) | 2010 |
| from the end credits. alanis remains one of my favorite “specific memory” people, Uninvited from City of Angels soundtrack has a very specific memory for me as well. | ||||
| 14. | Losing Sleep | Charlotte Sometimes | Waves and the Both of Us (Bonus Track Version) | 2008 |
| another iTunes rec. it really called to me! | ||||
| 15. | Syndicate | The Fray | The Fray | 2009 |
| i have several The Fray tracks, the obvious suspects from the radio and Grey’s. i was hesitant to get another since e was less excited about the others, but this one was really good. | ||||
| 16. | Hello Seattle | Owl City | Of June | 2007 |
| e found more Owl City, and this one is so tinkley and sweet and it’s about Seattle so that makes it even better, yay washington! | ||||
| 17. | If Everyone Cared | Nickelback | All the Right Reasons | 2007 |
| probably my favorite non-screaming-voiced Nickelback song. first time i heard it, i thought it was a christian song from the words! | ||||
| 18. | Rumour Has It | Adele | Rumour Has It – Single | 2011 |
| not as good, IMO, as the other track, but this one was a starbucks freebee, and it’s still nice. | ||||
| 19. | No One’s Gonna Love You | Band of Horses | Cease to Begin | 2007 |
| purchased The Funeral as soon as i could after hearing it on Numb3rs. this one is my next favorite from BoH. | ||||
| 20. | I Want Tears | Michelle Branch | Everything Comes and Goes – EP | 2010 |
| i love her, she’s one of my favs, and this was one of her new-ish tracks that caught my ear. not full fledged country like The Wreckers but not quite as pop-y as her originals – very nice balance. | ||||
| 21. | Landslide (Glee Cast Version) | Gwyneth Paltrow/Naya Rivera/Heather Morris | According to Jen: Glee: The Music – Season 2, Vol 4 | 2011 |
| fabulous song, and the scene from this glee ep goes through my head every time i hear it and it tugs at my heart. liked this song a lot from the Dixie Chicks back in the day. | ||||
| 22. | Again | Flyleaf | Memento Mori (Expanded Version) | 2009 |
| Flyleaf has a Christian background. but i heard of my first track “All Around Me” from a General Hospital commercial. this is from their newer album… the lyrics are powerful. but also fab rockyness! | ||||
| 23. | We’ll Never Know | Lifehouse | Lifehouse | 2005 |
| i have no idea why i found this and bought it now. it’s from 2005! i have no other Lifehouse, although some are familiar! | ||||
| 24. | River Deep, Mountain High (Glee Cast Version) | Amber Riley/Naya Rivera | According to Jen: Glee: The Music – Season 2, Vol 2 | 2010 |
| fabulous way of using these two artists voices together. never had heard the song before and so it was pretty fabulous to be new-to-me. | ||||
| 25. | Forget You (Glee Cast Version) | Gwyneth Paltrow/Kevin McHale/Amber Riley | According to Jen: Glee: The Music – Season 2, Vol 3 | 2010 |
| obviously, Gwyneth’s voice really catches me, they gave her some fab songs on the shoe, and this one is quite fun. | ||||
| 26. | (Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar (feat. Felicia Day) | The Guild | (Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar (feat. Felicia Day) – Single | 2009 |
| just caught up on The Guild season 4, and i couldn’t help but go back and get this song. it’s so greatly geeky and hilarious. felicia’s voice is excellent, also! | ||||
