Music does some interesting things to one's imagination. It takes you places, brings back memories, and cements events into your subconscious until they are brought about by the familiar melodies. Let's create some of those events as it pertains to the current Billboard Hot 100 Top 10.
1. We Found Love Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris
This song makes me feel like jumping up and down in a European dance club, with a hot local guy, drinking cocktails, under the disco ball, in the center of the room. Yes all of that.
2. Sexy and I Know It LMFAO
Honestly I'm still just tryna get the image of the LMFAO thong man-sausages swinging out of my head.
3. It Will Rain Bruno Mars
The whole world has a sepia tone and it seems like there's only two people in a single town. He is pale, sparkly, and obnoxious. Then out of no where some shirtless boy-wonder claims his love for me too. It's all so complicated.
4. Set Fire to the Rain Adele
I imagine this being the response to "It Will Rain" (the song itself, and not my Twilight-inspired response to it). And not only because both songs' references to dramatizations of precipitation. The emotion from the tumultuous relationship results in a strong ballad that brings on the waterworks in a beautifully angry way.
5. Good Feeling Flo Rida
It makes me have a GOOD feeling. Duh!
6. The One That Got Away Katy Perry
This song makes me wonder if any guy that I had once crossed paths with could have truly been the one that got away. But then I switch gears and proceed to get my gangsta on by turning on...
7. Ni**as in Paris Jay-Z and Kanye West
I feel like loudly blasting this song down the streets of Paris, pissing off every French passerby, as the city vibrates to the rhythm of the overexaggerated bass. That s*** cray.
8. I Won't Give Up Jason Mraz
As a stark contrast to the aforementioned tune, I feel like sitting in a peaceful state with just me, an acoustic guitar, and hundreds of inescapable thoughts and memories of love, loss, and the beauty of life.
9. Party Rock Anthem LMFAO feat. GoonRock and Lauren Bennett
10. Someone Like You Adele
I gave some time from the last time I did one of these posts because I assumed that there would be a completely new list of songs. It seems like America's love affair with the soulful songstress Adele and the hyperactive party boys LMFAO is ongoing. Not only do both artists have two new songs in the top 10, but #9 and #10 still are holding on strong themselves. I still wanna freelance party rock to "Party Rock" and create unfamiliar emotions to "Someone Like You."
