I cannot believe we are on to the last quarter of the year (we're actually down to the last two months)! Time flies really fast!

Last quarter was a concert-filled period for me, as I had the honor to see three great artists perform live: Big Bang, Imagine Dragons, and Maroon 5. My previous playlist was filled with their songs because I was highly anticipating their concerts.

This quarter's playlist consists of a combination of a lot of things: artists that I am also anticipating in a concert, new finds courtesy of Spotify, and a handful of favorite songs from my music library.

I am a sucker for guys who have great singing voices. This is the main reason I fell in love with this Japanese rock band. I really really got to like Taka's voice, and my heart melted when I heard their cover of my most favorite song of all time. I have decided to see them in concert this January, and these tracks are my top favorites from them.




I first heard this song when Justin performed it during the MTV Video Music Awards, and I thought it was pretty good. I got to listen to it again when we were on our way home from our mountain hike from Pico de Loro (post about that coming soon!) and it captured the relaxing feeling I felt during that moment. This song has become the theme song of that hike. :D


This band is one of my fresh discoveries, courtesy of Spotify! I love the vocals of this band, and the general feel of this song, which is relaxing and carefree.


I got to really really like this band. Too bad I wasn't able to catch them during their concert here. (´∩｀。) Oh well, my concert budget has been maxed out already. If they come back to have a show again, I would definitely come and see them. These two tracks are my favorites next to their song Bright. :D


The 1975 is my most loved band at the moment (yes, more than all of those kpop stuff), and it doesn't help that they have dropped a new song for me to feast on. The black-and-white themed indie band has stripped down to reveal pop-ish pink colors on their new album which is (ridiculously) entitled 'I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It'. The new album won't be out until February next year though. They have already announced dates of their concert stops (they're fully booked until Q2 2016!) and I am badly anticipating to see a date for Manila (please please please).

Their new song Love Me is far from what I have expected as new music from them. I think that's a positive thing because it means their music is so versatile that the band will be able to surprise you with every new material they release. So far, I'm loving the new video, all because I get to see Ross all getting high and wild（人´∀`*）.

The rest of the tracks that I included in the morning playlist are my top favorites, which is already a given. :p
