Nouvelle Vague
A mix about growth, post-grad feelings and sentiments about entering the so-called real world. Nouvelle Vague means new wave in French and its used to describe movements in arts such as the French New Wave (Godard, Truffaut, etc.). I suppose this post-grad mix does evoke a new movement of thrill-seekers, job-hunters or newbies. This mix is a bit personal since most of it relates to what I currently feel. Enjoy!
Oh No! by Marina and the Diamonds
"I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy"
The Fight by Sia
"We made it through the darkness to the light
Oh how we fought, yet still we won the fight
Oh yes we stand together"
Hold On My Heart by Sarah Blasko
"Though your growing up was hard
Now you're not so easily crushed
You're still innocent and strange
All your strength still remains"
Neopolitan Dreams by Lisa Mitchell
"Deepest of the dark nights
Here lies the highest of highs
Neopolitan dreams, stretching out to the sea
You wait your turn in the queue"
Twenty-Two by Wakey!Wakey!
(For me this song is about making the correct decisions as we go along in life such as not spending to much and saving money for the future.)
"For me it started when I turned twenty two
you count your blessings but you're still black and blue
you should go home before your monies are gone"
Everybody's Changing (Keane Cover) by Lily Allen
"So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same"
We Are The People by Empire Of The Sun
(I love this song so much. It talks about parting with something or someone and for me it's moving on with my life. As much as I miss college, there is nothing I can do but move forward.)
"We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now, we can try"
Show Me The Light by Mystery Jets
"But sometimes i feel that it's all too much to take
So show me the light
And tell me that things will turn out right "
Take It With You by The Ettes
"I see all the future outside now
Everything is turning around now"
Remedy Featuring Miike Snow by Crookers
"I had to make a living!
But we won't back down from anything
in search of a remedy. "
