I tried to limit myself to two songs maximum per artist, and let me tell you it was quite difficult for some of them (shout out to Imogen Heap, OneRepublic, Panic!, Paramore, and Safetysuit.) And as much as I love myself some Maroon 5 and The Fray, they are a little too pop for this particular playlist. I also eliminated some Safetysuit favorites to keep on point with the genre (I cringed.) What I love about this genre is that some of these songs have a way of hitting your emotions in a weird way that feels just right. The lyrics can be abstract and absurdly honest accompanied with their offbeat melodies and dramatic preludes. Let me just say that I was originally only going to make a top 20, but there are so many songs that I couldn't let go of and had to make a rejects list. And then the two song rule just killed me. As you can see, I'm a music lover with a sympathy for great songs.
