If I were putting together a graduation video today, this new single from Foster the People would make the perfect soundtrack.

#songoftheday: Tears for Fears – Everybody Wants to Rule the World
In honour of 100 posts, here’s one of my all time favourite songs.
#songoftheday: Pearl Jam – Brother
Most of my favourite bands have a single song, or album that I think of as the definitive point where I became a lifelong fan. As far as Pearl Jam’s concerned, this is the one that “got me into” Pearl Jam.
I’d heard the odd song of theirs over the years, and always enjoyed what I’d come across, but this was the track that got me to listen through “Ten” for the first time. The release of “Backspacer” shortly after that sealed the deal.
#songoftheday: Cat Stevens – Father and Son
Sometimes you associate a song with a particularly emotional time or moment in your life, and anytime you hear it played, you’re right back in that moment. Happy or sad, those feelings can hit you pretty hard, and seem like they’re coming out nowhere.
This is one of the few songs that’s actually made me tear up on it’s own merits.
#songoftheday: Barry McGuire – Eve of Destruction
There aren’t exactly a shortage of anti-war songs from the 60s, but the legitimate rage in Barry McGuire’s voice makes this song the most affecting one that I’ve heard.
#songoftheday: Banks – Are You That Somebody? (Aalyiah Cover)
Hands down, the best acoustic guitar version of a 90s R&B song that I’ve ever heard.
#songoftheday: Everlast – What It’s Like
As dark as this song is lyrically, it was always one of my favourites in elementary school.
#songoftheday: Beastie Boys – Sabrosa
If you like your album’s diverse, make sure to check out Ill Communication. Seriously, this song’s only two tracks after “Sabotage”.
#songoftheday: The Black Keys – Never Gonna Give You Up
This song’s a perfect example of how great the Black Keys are at making something new and original, by taking influence from past music, instead of plagiarizing it.
#songoftheday: Radiohead – I Can’t
Music snobs may disagree, but I’ll always be an unabashed fan of early Radiohead.
