The Adventure – Angels & Airwaves

I want to have the same last dream again,
The one where I wake up and I’m alive.
Just as the four walls close me within,
My eyes are woken up with pure sunlight.
I’m the first to know.

Even if your hope has burned with time,
Anything that’s dead shall be re-grown.
And your vicious pain, your warning sign,
You will be fine.

1000 Nights – Frenship

When the fever’s gone
And the rose to dust
I touchdown Sunday
To tie the loose ends up
With a pocket full of
That gypsy stuff
I heard you calling me, calling me, calling me
Through the dissonance
I’ve been known to run
Just to feel the rush
But the dying sun
Illuminates so much

Sunrise Avenue – Dreamer

But you haven’t escape yet?

(Did you follow your, follow your fire?)

If you love somebody
Better tell them why they’re here ’cause

Now take it in but don’t look down

Legendary – Welshly Arms

Take a look around me
Taking pages from a magazine
Been looking for the answer
Ever since we were seventeen

You know the truth can be a weapon
To fight this world of ill intentions
A new answer to the same question
How many times will you learn the same lesson?

I think they got it all wrong
We just got to hold on
And on, and on, and on

Gonna teach ’em all a lesson
Got this feeling that we’re so sweet caring
It’s about to be legendary

My head is an animal
And once there was an animal
It had a son that mowed the lawn

The dragonfly it ran away
But it came back with a story to say

Her dirty paws and furry coat
She ran down the forest slope
The forest of talking trees
They used to sing about the birds and the bees
The bees had declared a war
The sky wasn’t big enough for them all
The birds, they got help from below
From dirty paws and the creatures of sno

Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be us just for one day

2. Girls Who Travel

A hilarious, deftly written debut novel about a woman whose wanderlust is about to show her that sometimes you don’t have to travel very far to become the person you want to be…

There are many reasons women shouldn’t travel alone.

But as foul-mouthed, sweet-toothed Kika Shores knows, there are many more reasons why they should.

After all, most women want a lot more out of life than just having fun.

Kika, for one, wants to experience the world. Find more info on β€œGirls Who Travel” here.

3. Not Afraid of the Fall: 114 Days Through 38 Cities in 15 Countries

After purchasing one-way flights from New York City to Paris, Kyle James and his girlfriend Ashley quit their day jobs, planned futures, and daily paradigms to see as much of the world as they could.

In 114 days, they trekked across 15 countries and 38 cities with nothing but their backpacks, their smartphones, and each other.

Not Afraid of the Fall is the unvarnished story of their off-the-cuff journey: from cliff-jumping off Croatia’s untouched coasts to bathing with rescued elephants in Thailand; from crashing mopeds on gravelly mountain roads in Santorini to hitchhiking with strangers in rental cars in Hungary.

4. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be β€œpositive” all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life.

β€œF**k positivity,” Mark Manson says. β€œLet’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.” In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate.

He tells it like it isβ€”a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
