Recommended by Tara Marin’18 (former features editor and senior writer for The Quadrangle ) this song has a unique sound from most other love songs I’ve heard recently. It’s a classic, slow, sweet, sentimental love song that came from the 1980s, but doesn’t sound dated, which is rare for most 80s songs. Garrett Keidel, our sports editor, and I’m glad he suggested it. The lyrics are intimate, sweet and thoughtful and makes for a good first dance song.Įndless Love – Lionel Richie and Diana Ross This suggestion came from a friend from home and I’m glad she suggested it to help make my decision easier. I have recently developed a soft spot for country music and I actually had a hard time picking one country song for this playlist. This song is a good example of an upbeat song with seemingly less personal lyrics that echoes a lot of sentiments any listener in love could relate to.
I’ve previously listened to and liked COIN songs a lot, but I’d never heard this one before.
This suggestion came in from a friend from high school. It’s not your typical ‘proclamation of love’ love song, but rather it focuses on nurturing the relationship that’s already there and valuing time together, which is why I like it so much. While I was making valentines to hand out to strangers on Valentine’s Day last week, I posted something on my personal Instagram story asking people I knew to tell me their favorite love songs and surprisingly, I got a decent number of replies, which gave me some options for this playlist.Įven though Valentine’s Day was last week, I’ve decided to follow in suit of the “you should show how much you love and appreciate others all the time” stance that some people take against the holiday so I can dedicate this week’s Jasper Jams to love songs.Ī sweet, mellow, slightly tongue-in-cheek, personal lyrics type of love song, this one makes the playlist as a personal favorite of mine. I, for one, am a sucker for good love songs, but I’ve set out to ponder what makes a good love song? Is a good love song upbeat? Does it have personal lyrics that really only make sense to the songwriter? Is it a good love song just because it is from 20+ years ago and has become a classic? Is it slow and emotional? Love songs are a mix of extremely intimate and hyper-commercialized, which is an interesting combination. Seeing Bastille always makes me feel truly happy, which can be difficult when constantly battling my anxious mind.Editor’s Note: Jasper Jams will return to posting on Sunday afternoons it previously followed this schedule but was changed to Wednesday afternoons. This creates the ultimate ‘feel good’ vibe and makes their concerts even more memorable.įor me, Bastille is a humble band, with an understanding of the world and the emotions we experience as human beings.
The song ‘Of the Night’ is another highlight of their performances, making the crowd jump up, in unison with Bastille Dan, when the beat drops.
I was so close to him at the Brighton Centre and it was a moment I’ll never forget. I manage to sing along and dance the whole time, as if there really are no worries in the world! A photo I took of Bastille performing at Citadel Festival in London, July 2019Įvery single time I have been blessed enough to see Bastille, lead singer Dan has joined the crowd. In my opinion, their performance aspect is what makes their concerts my favourite to attend, even more so than bands such as ‘The 1975’. Not only do Bastille enlighten people with their music, but their stage presence is flawless, radiating immense positivity among their fans.
