By far the best song on 1989, this tune has everything you want in a song. Great lyrics, catchy chorus, personality, ugh it's so perfect. People (Katy Kats ) complain about how the chorus is basic but no I think she's doing something there. The love (with my Harry ) made her confused and when they broke up it felt repetitive in her life, hence the chorus saying those lines over and over again. Those parallels are what makes a good writer a GREAT writer and that's why Taylor is experiencing the success she has, she's a well rounded individual. Let's not even get started on how perfect the bridge is. And the whole male voice singing the "out of the woods part" really adds an extra element to this already flawless song. I mean what other song on 1989 comes close to this?
8. Madonna - Living For Love
Quote:
HATED HATED HATED this song when I heard the leaked demo and vowed not to support Madonna (like I always do) and buy the album. However this song, even if it premiered like 2 days ago, is so perfect . It's one of her best ballads. It's like Like a Prayer but mixed with a tinge of Music and it's like, can this woman get any more fierce? Her ballads have always been a strong point in her career but this just elevates her to a new level of artistic creativity that right now, no one can possibly reach except Gaga (but if she makes another ARTPOP she'll never get there either). It makes you want to dance, strip in a club and just let it go . I'm so glad I found this woman because I cannot imagine a life without Madonna music, I CANNOT. While not her lyrically strongest song on the album (that belongs to either Rebel Heart or Unapologetic Bitch) it doesn't lack there either.
7. Sia - Chandelier
Quote:
Epitome of pop perfection (though I'm not a huge fan of normal pop). Sia's vocals are what really stands out here, too bad she can't replicate her studio vocals live . Either way it's such an enchanting song and it makes you want to re-enact the video. BTW is that girl wearing nude leotard? . Idk what was going on there, or the damn blonde wig too, are those gimmicks? . The only drawback in this song are the lyrics and the video. They just don't mesh. It's talking about partying hard or some **** like that and you got a video of a girl doing some ADD dance moves like . C'mon Sia! It has 400M views though so I guess I may be in the minority saying the video is enjoyable but doesn't make sense haha. Oh well it's top 7!
6. Ariana Grande, The Weekend - Love Me Harder
Quote:
I would have never guessed Ariana Grande would've made it on my list, especially considering I hate her a lot . However her voice on this song really blew me away. If she didn't enunciate like a ****ing kindergartner this would've been top 5! The Weekend though is why it's as high as it is. He makes the song a 9.5 and not have it hover around an 8 like if it was just an Ariana solo single. I love the lyrics too, love me harder omg . It makes me think that...mess nvm let me just keep that part in my head . But yes this NARROWLY missed my top 5 songs of 2014
5. Leikeli47 - F*ck the Summer Up
Quote:
There was originally an Iggy song in my top 5 I think , until this song took it's place and woo lawd it's better than the song I was thinking of . The whole damn song is catchy and this song is gonna be replayed Summer 2K15 . Actually now that I remember it, jax. introduced this to me about a day after I made this thread and I owe him everything . The lyrics >>>>>. Actually this video is probably perfect too, there's nothing wrong with this at all, maybe that's why it's top 5 .
4. FKA twigs - Pendulum
Quote:
If you haven't bothered to listen to this song through headphones (or good quality earphones) you need to stop what you're doing and listen to it. It's like having sex with your ears omg the actual pendulum going back and forth just makes you squirm i your seat like the best blowjob you've ever had (or for females the best you've ever been ate out) but I guess through your ears . FKA twig's voice, the lyrics, and OMG that production elevate this song to new heights, it's like WHAT THE **** . I'm so pissed because this song is so good yet it still missed the top 3, a CATASTROPHE
3. Madonna - Wash All Over Me
Quote:
Holy **** I thought this song would've been my number 1 song, was kinda rooting for it to be too . It's Madonna's best song since...actually no it's actually Madonna' best song of her career. The pre-chorus granny vocals "who am i" >>> anything your faves have ever done, even if your fave is Madonna . And let's not get to the "over me" part right before the actual chorus, which is a huge ass knock . I actually recorded myself singing + dancing to this in a friend's dance studio but I won't ever show it because like...no . I'm extremely saddened this didn't win but it basically means the next two songs are far and away the best songs of 2014!
2. Marina & The Diamonds - FROOT
Quote:
The second best song of 2014, FROOT . The lyrics in itself are such perfection. It's like the virgin anthem, maybe that's why I love it so much.
"Good thing comes to those who wait but I ain't in the patient phase"
"Its summertime and I hang from the vine, they're gonna make me into sweet red wine"
"Come and fill your up up, lookin' for some good luck"
LIKE COME THE **** ON how is that not the best set of lyrics you've ever heard? . And mess the second chorus + the final chorus are the best parts lyrically and sonically respectively. I've been saving all my summers for you. It kinda makes me want to get laid like right now, if I start saying these at any club I'm sure to attract every ****ing guy there . Yet this did not end up at my number 1 spot. Well what did? Stay tuned to find out
1. Marina & The Diamonds - Happy
Quote:
WHY THE **** THIS BITCH HAVE TO RELEASE HAPPY IN DECEMBER?! . She messed up my Best Of, the winner was supposed to be FROOT but she went ahead and released the best song of the year shortly before the Best Of 2014 charts . This piano driven balled is the best song of this year and here's why. First of all, her voice is so different and so great that only she could've pulled off this song (I could also imagine Katy trying but not being good enough). The lyrics were the second best of 2014 (this title still belongs to FROOT). It makes you feel some type of way. And remember how I talked about lyric parallelism, well here Marina does it and does it the best!
From the first track Are You Satisfied of The Family Jewels in 2010
From Happy
It shows her development not only musically and lyrically, but in her own life and it translated into not her best song, but the number 1 song of 2014
Doc is probably my favorite moderator on this site, such a good person and we've actually been pretty good friends before his moderatorship. I remember his lil ass in high school , it makes me feel super old . Anyways I have no idea what to think about him, at one time I thought he was a white girl from the UK and while I'm sure one of those 3 adjectives are semi-right, I still think he's straight. I have no idea either way though because he never comments on the messiness . Anyways the amount of good heart to hearts we've had with each other definitely puts him at number 7 on my favorite members.
My favorite Brazilian member on this site , Ian is a bit...I forgot how we even met . All I know is that I'm glad we did . I'm the power bottom to his top in our relationship . Oh god some of the things we sent to each other through our walls and pms, I'm so glad my walls are private because it's very...very awkward if anyone could come and read it (though I blame it on him mostly! )
My relationship with posh is a bit...meh meh. For the longest time I had no idea who posh even was, I was originally told posh was a 13 year old female from the UK who's name was Victoria and I'm like "omg that's cute I love female members more than male members" then everything came crashing down . I'm p sure posh is like 17 or 18, male, not named Victoria, and is from Canada but it's okay even with one less hole I love posh just the same . Seeing his posts literally make me so happy and giddy, too bad he's probably a bottom too .
Jessie barely missed the top 3 of my favorite members on ATRL . I'm such a huge...******* (it's not starred but I will keep it starred just because ) thanks to this guy right here feeding me bl games all the time . As long as you don't get on his bad side, Jessie could be the nicest person you'll ever meet , though he's been known to be very bipolar and it's like . Idk how we met, probably discussing anime (yaoi to be more specific) and idk if he ever got mad at me but I love this boy, so sad he didn't make the top 3
Kid A come in as the first member of the top 3. He's been such a good friend and influential member to me in 2014. I forgot how we met...I think it was because I was getting over losing another friend and started to talk to him? That was probably it . Anyway I hope he isn't dead, he hasn't logged on since December 8th . I'm so happy with him, he knows just what to say to me to make me feel better about myself and I thank him everyday for that. And mess I think he sent me nudes too, probably or just underwear shots I can't remember (though I do know they're somewhere in my inbox ). Anyways I'm so happy that I got to know you and I actually will travel to CA to see you probably next year after my Spring semester
Me and Hugamari probably have the 2nd most post between each other (for my records) that's only bested by the 4K that I have between me and another non-active member. Huga might be the only person on this site that I can legit talk about anything, ANYTHING, to and he'll reply back. Some people would be like "well idc" or "I'm sorry I can't help you" but he would do anything he could to make me feel better. He's such a little bitch . The YT videos he made for me (well not necessarily for me but he showed me), the smiley we have together, the TC days, I have many years of history with him and I don't regret any of it . But mess I think that he needs to like...sleep normally! His sleeping schedule is so weird, like he's up from 8pm-6am then sleeps from 6am-7pm and I'm like what the **** . Okay now the number 1 spot should not be a surprise to the guy who's number 1
Don't be fooled, he is not straight. This super flaming gay *** is my favorite member of 2014 . Even though he judges me for everything that I do and calls me a bitch and says I'm weird and told me I'm anorexic and laughs at me throwing up and sends me suggestive snapchats () and is very mean in general, I love my Dylan . He is probably the whitest person you'll ever meet, skin and personality wise, and that's what makes it funny. His reactions are just totally...not what I expect ha. He's so weird like his love of his life is Louis, what kind of failed and unrequited love is he going after? . Mess but let me not drag this out, he was quite honestly my favorite person of 2014. And mess some of his snapchats (the non nude ones ) made me laugh because he has legit NO STYLE yet he thinks he does and I'm like (jk ). I don't ever want to meet you because you'll probably call me anorexic again and I'll have to throw up on your face , though I call you a fat vegetarian a lot so...I guess it's kinda fair . PS you should come out to your mom before the new year
