Playlist: Operating on Electric

March 10, 2014 by Sana

Image Source: Tea Palm
Sometimes I just want to listen to music that gets my blood pumping with electric energy. And because everything is bibliophilic with me, some of the lyrics remind me of characters that I love.
I. WORLD, HOLD ON (FEAT. STEVE EDWARDS) || BOB SINCLAR
I discovered this song when I was sixteen and I recently started listening to it again. Still as amazing.
II. ALIVE (FEAT. JACOB BANKS) || CHASE & STATUS
This song just works.

III. SPECTRUM (SAY MY NAME) [CALVIN HARRIS REMIX] || FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
So hauntingly electric. Spectrum oozes energy.

IV. KICKSTARTS || EXAMPLE
Love the electro house beat of the song.

V. RADIOACTIVE || MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
Radioactive is a classic.

VI. BLIND FAITH (FEAT. LIAM BAILEY) || CHASE & STATUS
This song gives me goosebumps because it’s so good.

VII. DAMAGED (RADIO EDIT) || ADRIAN LUX
Songs like these fuels my energy like nothing else does. Also, Damaged is such a Ronan Lynch *cough* and Kavinsky *cough* song.
VIII. D.O.A. || SLEIGH BELLS
It’s slightly creepy but that’s why I love it.
IX. DLZ || TV ON THE RADIO
DLZ was featured on Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries so I always relate it to him.
X. TURN OFF THE LIGHTS || PANIC! AT THE DISCO
The chorus, me loves.

XI. IF SO || ATLAS GENIUS
Pretty much the song that gave me the final nudge to make this playlist.
XII. MONSTER || IMAGINE DRAGONS
This song gives me the chills. I also like to think that Monster will remind me of the main character from A Monster Calls (do you see my dedication, sigh).
XIII. BREATHING UNDERWATER || METRIC
Beautiful. Breathing Underwater is such a Mara Dyer/Noah Shaw song.
XIV. OPERATING || HUNTER HUNTED
Infectious.

XV. I TOOK A LITTLE SOMETHING || FLORRIE
An unconventional disco tune that I just can’t get enough of.

    I just listened to this entire playlist while working on some blog stuff, and I've gotta say, I LOVE IT! It's perfectly upbeat, but it also works well as music to play in the background.

    I'm not a huge fan of electro/disco music but damn you have some great playlisting skills because that was AWESOME. 😀

    Also yes Ronan Lynch and Kavinsky-YES. That song describes them perfectly!
