Summer Tunes

Summer is coming to an end fairly soon, but here are a few tunes I have been enjoying:

"Fireflies" by Owl City. The song is fun and upbeat, with quirky lyrics. It cheers me up just hearing it. The lead singer, Adam Young has been compared numerous times to Ben Gibbard (lead singer of "Death Cab for Cutie" and "The Postal Service"). The cover has a photo of the "Burj Al Arab," which is the most expensive hotel in Dubai, Saudi Arabia. It has an outdoor tennis court towards the very top of it! See that little piece sticking out at the top? That is it! I am not sure I would want to play tennis that high up, but it does look cool.

"Turn Me Off" by Audrye Sessions. This song really seems to move. It has a 70's vibe to it, which I like. It makes me want to dance.

"Show Me What I'm Looking For" by Carolina Liar. When I first heard this song, I thought it was by Keane. I really liked it, as well as the cover. Even after I found out the song was done by Carolina Liar, I would sometimes hear the song and still think it was Keane. I really like how the lead singer belts out the lyrics. It is a fun song to sing to. They are using it for previews to "The Time Traveler's Wife." I would like to see that movie. I wonder if it's good?
