Love Letters

Thought I'd lighten the mood today.

Now I know we all have our favorite artist, or artists. We also might have a slight obsession and attraction to these artists as well (okay, a HUGE obsession and attraction). Most people would write down love letters to their favorite singer in a diary of journal, but I'm not like most people. Nope, I'm one of those hipster bullshit freaks that bares their soul on the internet (but some of you do it too, don't deny it!). So, I thought it'd be cute to share with you the artists I would write love letters to, and proceed to write said love letter. Please enjoy my freakish ways and unhealthy obsessions :)

Dear Alanis Morissette,
I really want to meet you. Your music is so amazing, it's like soup for my soul. Your words are blunt, introspective, thoughtful and nuturing. You're really the only one the planet that could possibly understand the convaluted conundrum that is my life. There need to be more people like you. For realz.

Dear Adam Young (Owl City),
I don't care what the haters say, I think you're amazing. Sure you're songs get to be pretty shitty (and I do mean shitty, have you listened to "Gold" recently?), but your songs can also be whimsical fun, stuff that doesn't have to be explained to be understood. You have such a way with expressing emotion, I honestly can't digest it sometimes. And you have to be one of the most down-to-earth people I know of, artist or not. It is my dying wish to meet you.

Dear Miley Cyrus,
Gurl, if you got it, flaunt it, don't listen to what anybody else says. Your life is none of our damn business and people have no right to judge you, because there are 14 year olds doing the exact same shit you're doing, just not on national TV (and they were doing it WAY before you started to). You don't take shit from no one, you're strong enough to hold your ground even when everyone else is against you. That is amazing, and your songs are pretty catchy too. You're not Hannah Montana, not now, and you never really were. You're embracing it now, so we should too!

Dear Lady Gaga,
It is also my dying wish to meet you. Never before have I experienced a woman so comfortable in her sexuality and identity, you do what you want and don't listen to the hate! I wish I could be like you, full of confidence and compassion (which you do have, anybody that sayd otherwise is lying). Your music is dope, and your voice is astounding. You continue to raise the bar, not just for you, but for the rest of Hollywood. Little Monster for life!

Dear Demi Lovato,
I find your story of overcoming bullying and depression to be a true inspiration. Maybe all of your songs don't have the same depth or sympathetic productions, but overall, you continue to channel your passion into your music. Out of all the 21-year olds I know, you're the most human of them all. You're very understanding and have never come across as fake or contrived. You found the light in the midst of darkness, please teach me!!

Dear Ellie Goulding,
OMG I love you so much! I mean, everybody loves British artists, but you're the best! Your music fuses electronic and folk, two genres that should NOT go good together, but you make them work. Your voice is ethereal, powerful, and emotive. You contain abilities far beyond anybody's comprehension, and you helped me see a whole new world of shiny, immaculate pop. You're just so amazing and also down-to-earth, EEEEKK!

Dear Kelly Clarkson,
It is not my dying wish to meet you...because if I did, I would indeed die in front of your eyes. You're amazing, perfect, humane, caring, funny, bad ass, and an all around great musician. That voice...DAYUM! You can wail and make it all sound even more epic than it already is! And your music: "Breakaway", "All I Ever Wanted", "Stronger", YOUR CATALOG IS JUST OVERFLOWING WITH AWESOMENESS I CAN'T TAKE IT *assumes fetal position*

Dear Liz Phair,
More people need to know who you are. "Exile in Guyville" is one of the best albums of all time. ALL TIME, okay? You've experienced much shit in your life, and you are not even close of being afraid to share it. Your music is just awesome, no matter what genre you try, you kick its ass from one end of the stage to another. I want to be a musician of your caliber one day.

Dear Enya,
Queen of new-age tinged pop that equally soothing as it is musically stunning? I think yes!! And you're so nice and coy about everything, I just want to give you a big hug! Your music has helped me through depression and anger, you'll never know how much you've impacted my life. THANK YOU!!

Dear Sarah McLachlan,
Dude, you're Sarah freaking McLachlan, need I say more? Your songs are literally the equivalent of a therapist. A good therapist, too, not one of those shitty ones that doesn't offer any advice.

Dear Katy Perry,
You're hot. Nuff said.

Dear Lily Allen,
I don't know how you do it: your music is light and happy, but your lyrics are bitchy and cynical. I like!! And once again, who doesn't love a British artist?

Dear Fiona Apple,
Your music describes me perfectly. You're all about that sick in the head shit, always beating yourself up and all you want is for someone to love you. WHY AREN'T WE FRIENDS YET?!

Dear Dido,
You don't have to try, great music just comes to you. Your voice is silky soft and velvety smooth. And you're just so darn British, like Ellie Goulding, you mix electronics with acoustics and make it work effortlessly!

Dear Britney Spears,
Princess of pop. You reign supreme!

Dear Christina Aguilera,
"Stripped" is also one of the best albums of all time. Critics don't know shit about your music, which is empowering and exactly what my hurting heart needs to function.

Dear P!nk,
You too have one of the best voices of our generation, as well as one of the greatest talents we have right now. All of your songs are anthems, and your life story is one that everyone should know. I know it's wrong, but I worship you in some ways. You're just so amazing!

Last, but certainly not least:
Dear Madonna,
You truly are the Queen of Pop. At any age, whether it be 20, 30, 40, 60, or 125, you make music that transcends beyond your era. Your debut album is a landmark in music, and "Ray of Light" is a landmark in pop culture. You were brave enough to find yourself and see what others ignore. That is such an inspiration to me, because I'm going through that process too. And everyone should listen to "American Life", especially with our fucked up politics now. You're a trendsetter, provocateur, self-styled business woman and one of the most honest human beings on the planet. Yeah I'm a guy, but I still consider you one of my greatest influences in life. Keep making music, woman! People can say what they want, age doesn't matter when your music is so fantastically good!
