Song Review: Homeward Bound

I have been really bad about posting on here, but today I thought I would give you guys a good Sunday song.

Written By: Marta Keen Thompson
Sung By: The Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Date Released: May 21, 2005
Thoughts: Lately I have been thinking of this song a lot. It is a story of life's journey. There comes a time in everyone's life's when you need to be set free and find your way through life. What this song teaches, is that you are never alone, there is someone who is always going to be there for you. So, go have fun, learn and grow from the trials and tribulations you are going to have in this life, but remember to come back home.
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5

Song Review: Primadonna

ARTIST: Marina and the Diamonds
GENRE: Alternative
DATE RELEASED: March 23, 2012
THOUGHTS: This is a super dancy, fun song! I was kind of surprised it fell under "alternative", because I would have pegged it as pop, but that's irrelevant, really. The lyrics are bratty, but fun, and I LOVE her unique, deep voice! It's different, but in a good way. The music video is also really fun, too. I love the retro feel.
OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5. I can't get enough of this song!

Song Review: Lonely Lullaby

ARTIST: Owl City
GENRE: Electronic
DATE RELEASED: July 19, 2011
THOUGHTS: This song breaks my heart just a little bit every time I hear it. It's a beautiful, sad song of loss, and it's sung so gently, and so genuinely, it makes me want to cry. You can practically see the memories hes describing, which gives this song another level of deepness. It's a delicate song sung with real emotion behind it, and trademark of Adam Young, this song lingers.
OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5. This song is brilliantly and gently crafted.

Song Review: I Fell In Love

ARTIST: Whitton
GENRE: Pop
DATE RELEASED: March 30, 2012
THOUGHTS: I stumbled on this via Pandora, and I fell in love with it! It's a sweet, simple love song, complete with banjos and clapping. This song sounds like sunshine to me, honestly. I got it stuck in my head instantly, and by the second chorus, I was singing along. I love the bouncy, sweet rhythm she gives the song, and the lyrics just make me grin. "You're like a piece of gold/ I wear ev'rywhere I go", "I wasn't looking for love/ until you flew in like a dove". I love this song!
OVERALL RATING: 4.5 out of 5. Her voice gets a bit irritating after a bit, but overall it's an adorable song. :^)

Song Review: All The Rowboats

ARTIST: Regina Spektor
GENRE: Alternative
DATE RELEASED: February 28, 2012
THOUGHTS: This is a wonderfully intense song, full of pounding drums and piano. In true Regina style, she  is abstract in her lyrics, talking about a museum and the sad life of an exhibit. It's a haunting song, and I can't get enough of it!
OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5 stars.
