Lorin's Letters

When i went through my hard core IMAGINE DRAGONS phase, i researched so many things about Dan Reynolds and watched all sorts of videos! I still love Imagine Dragons but i found a little something else while i was on my hunt! :) So Dan Reynold s is married to Aja Volkman , the singer for Nico Vega , and they started a little band of their own. They are called EGYPTIAN . For those of you who have ever been to an Imagine concert, Nico Vega opens for them. Anyways, as i was watching videos i came across a video of them singing funny songs together, after that i found " I'LL WAIT FOR YOU ". This song got me so excited about this new little band! They are so fun and talented! She has a very unique voice and i love listening to her. Then add in Dan Reynolds and its magic! Its basically an EP because there aren't a ton of songs on the album but its all good! You can listen for free on SPOTIFY! Check out the song FADE as well! Look for this album cover and you'll know yo...

We all have those old school Ipod's from either our Jr. High days or High School days! Mine is called "the green ipod". Basically it rocks and everyone want to buy it from me because it has the best of the best old jams! It ranges from BackStreet Boys to Spice Girls all the way to Taking Back Sunday and Kid Cudi . HAHAHAHAH sometimes i am ashamed of the music that is on it. I remember creating a playlist that was the exact time from Richfield to Provo and i would sing so loud in my car til my head started aching!! Today i charged it up and started listening! There are so many good songs on there that bring back so many memories!! All day i've been listening to one of my person favorite bands, PASSION PIT!!!! For those of you who know me, you know that i have the WORST memory of anyone you know. But, i remember the very first time i heard a Passion Pit song! I become so obsessed and got really into EDP! EDP is just ELECTRIC DANCE PARTY. I have a friend who is and E...

SO FOR MY BIRTHDAY, JARED (MY CUTE BOYFRIEND) GOT ME TICKETS TO US THE DUO! For those of you you don't know who US THE DUO is, i suggest you stop reading this and go to YouTube or Vine and look them up before reading this entry! They are incredible hey?! I love them! I first saw them on Vine and started following them. They are both so talented and beautiful... like its insane. After watching their Vines, i loved them.. but after the concert..OH BOY! i am literally obsessed. Then, i found Carissas blog. The obsession is out of control at this point. Last night at the concert, they shared their story about how they met and how they started creating music! Each song from their album is part of their story. They are husband & wife and have the cutest love story! I was so glad i was there with Jared because i am so in love with that kid its insane. I just had cold chills all over my body... (so did jared :) ). Their love is so cute! I am so happy to have love in my life! I wo...

I recently returned home from my mission for the LDS church and feel like i missed out on a ton a music! Im sorry to say i never went through the F.U.N. phase, Miley Cyrus phase or the Mackelmore phase. I love a good jam to all those but never really got into it. Something you should know about me is that i avoid the radio like the plague because nothing is worse than your favorite song getting played a million times a day on 97.1 ZHT. My aux chord is my best friend. I am a big lover of Pandora and most recently, Spotify. Pandora is cool in so many ways because you can hear something new and undercover but you cant add it to any playlist or repeat it. Spotify is seriously the best place to discover and listen to your favorite music. AND ITS FREE!!! If you want to follow me on Spotify you can! my account is Lorin Elise Thompson. So far for the year 2014 my favorite songs have been: DOWN IN THE VALLEY--THE HEAD AND THE HEART THE LOVE CLUB & WHITE TEETH TEENS--LORDE SKY FULL OF...

I LOVE DISCOVERING NEW MUSIC AND FINDING SOMETHING THAT IS "REPEAT WORTHY FOR HOURS AND HOURS"  LET ME GIVE YOU A TASTE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS AND SONGS SO YOU KNOW WHAT MY GENERAL STYLE IS.  SOME IS OLD AND SOME IS NEW.. BUT IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD INSIDE , IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YEAR IT WAS MADE, RIGHT!? PERSONAL FAVORITES-- For the last several years i have really been into the INDIE genre. you can think im just jumping on the bandwagon but it honestly is the type of music that lifts me up and puts a smile on my face. my favorite band of allllll time is BON IVER . a dear friend of mine showed me the song "blindsided" in 2009 and i have been addicted ever since. "For Emma, Forever Ago" was released in 2007 and that album is a real tear jerker sometimes. I have to be in the right mood for BON IVER because it really taps deep in my soul. Half the the time i make up my own words but i do that to every single song anyways! Thank you J...
