Etcetera OG ✎ COMPLETE

; top five songs for all my faves, pt. 2

         I am here, I am alive (barely, sometimes), and I'm sorry I've been so absent and neglectful. I've seen all the love you continue to give Elf Bites and believe me, I haven't abandoned it. I just have two jobs and two dogs and a lot of stuff to do (I've also been on a Sims 4 kick, which...save me please). But anyway.

         Here we go again. This is going to be a part two, as I've already done this a while back. Now I have ten more of my favorite artists/groups/etc. and have tortured myself trying to figure out what my top five favorite songs of theirs are. Rather than keep you here reading my boring intro, I'm going to get right into it, but just know that this was once again next to impossible and I will be including honorable mentions because I feel bad for the songs I had to leave out.

HALSEY

5. "Trouble" from Room 93

4. "Bad At Love" from hopeless fountain kingdom

3. "Hold Me Down" from Badlands

2. "100 Letters" from hopeless fountain kingdom

1. "Devil In Me" from hopeless fountain kingdom

                  This was hard for me because I had a hard time justifying why so many hopeless fountain kingdom songs were making the list when it just came out and when Badlands has been my everything for much longer. But I guess you know when an album hits its mark, and I really believe hopeless fountain kingdom did despite some negative reviews it received. And of course "Trouble" had to make this list – it used to be my number one for a long time. "Hold Me Down" is the reason I got into Halsey, so, no surprise that one's here either. Honorable Mentions: "Control," "Hurricane," "Young God," "I Know Somewhere," "Drive."

MAYDAY PARADE

5. "The Memory" from Anywhere But Here

4. "Terrible Things" from Valdosta - EP

3. "Kids In Love" from Anywhere But Here

2. "Oh Well, Oh Well" from Mayday Parade

1. "Stay" from Mayday Parade

                  I've had no longer love affair than the one I have with Shania Twain, and My Chemical Romance comes in second, but around the same time I fell in love with All Time Low I was introduced to Mayday Parade. To this day I consider them an important part of my early teen years, which made this list really hard to make. "Stay" is truly my favorite of all their songs, but a lot of the rest are definitely there for sentimentality's sake. There may be others that could have made it, but whenever I think about this top five I just can't picture it without all five of these, so here it is. Honorable Mentions: "If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?" "Hold Onto Me," "Anywhere But Here," "I Swear This Time I Mean It," "Bruised and Scarred."

ANASTASIA: THE BROADWAY MUSICAL

5. "Finale"

4. "My Petersburg"

3. "We'll Go From There"

2. "Learn To Do It"

1. "In A Crowd Of Thousands"

                  I know, compared to Hamilton I really didn't have many tracks to choose from here, but I couldn't help but include it. I adore this musical and I adore this soundtrack. I'm not even surprised by these five – actually I am a little, as neither "Once Upon a December" nor "Journey to the Past" made it. Hands down "In A Crowd Of Thousands" was going to be my number one, and I live my two and three because Vlad's character is probably my favorite, and just...yeah. It didn't make the musical or the soundtrack so I can't really include it, but just know that if Christy and Derek had properly recorded "In the Beginning" it would have taken all five spots sorry I don't make the rules. Honorable Mentions: "Stay, I Pray You," "Journey to the Past," "Once Upon a December," "Rumor in St. Petersburg," "In My Dreams."
