What I GotSublime

Sublime – What I Got (Official Music Video)

Included on the 1996 album “Sublime.” A three-piece punk band from California formed in 1988.

The melody, carried by a mid-tempo, gently unfolding rhythm and the tone of an acoustic guitar, evokes the image of a sunrise.

Listening to this track makes me want to “tighten my shoelaces” and start walking.

Taylor Swift – ME! (feat. Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco) ft. Brendon Urie

A high-energy collaboration by major artists! Taylor Swift’s “ME!” featuring Brendon Urie—known from Panic! At The Disco—is a super sweet, amped-up love song where they proclaim to each other, “You’ve only got me.” It’s a collaboration between two artists at the forefront of the global music scene and had been generating a lot of buzz even before its release.

Perhaps because of that, within 24 hours of its YouTube debut, the song surpassed 65.2 million views, reportedly setting a new all-time record for a female solo artist’s release.

It’s a much-talked-about track that boosts your spirits just by listening!

Vanessa Carlton – A Thousand Miles

A beautifully clear piano intro.

So striking that it sticks in your ears after just one listen, this is A Thousand Miles, released in 2001.

Truly great songs never fade with time.
