This song IS the morning to me. It's soothing and mellow and perfect for me in the morning, because I'm not a morning person by any means. Oren's vocals are rough, but soft at the same time. The guitar notes that provide the base melody sounds like drops of water, then you layer that with soft xylophone-ish notes and random spurts of violins and you have a very peaceful track.
I was introduced to this song via the music video, which is beautifully filmed. Please watch it if you like the song or just watch it anyways.
This is also one of the few songs that made me go out and buy the whole album. As in, I went and bought a physical, hold-in-my-hand, put-in-a-cd-player, album. I haven't done that in a long time.
I've always loved this song for how pure and light the song is. Priscilla's vocals are angelic and soft as she sings equally innocent lyrics. It creates a sort of comforting atmosphere that makes you lose your worries and float with the music, especially when it hits about halfway through the song and the "oo"s come gliding in. Beautiful.
I absolutely love sweet, acoustic tracks like this. I could listen to it forever! It's a beautiful and tug-at-your-heartstrings ballad with soft vocals and gentle guitar plucking. The lyrics are so bittersweet as well. It brings out the sappy girl in me.
NOTE: I don't know why Spotify says this is the "Serban Ghenea Mix" but it's the original.
I love Ingrid Michaelson's music. It's always so cute, poppy, and soft. Unfortunately, it all tends to sound the same. That being said, this song actually stands out to me. It's wonderful in it's simplicity. I love the a cappella parts that lead into a catchy drum beat and acoustic bits. Her voice is refreshing and quirky.
I recently found out a little more about this song. Apparently Ingrid helped write the song, but decided not to record it herself. Instead, she passed it on the Cheryl Cole whose version is more of a dance song with autotune and electronic sounds. Ingird eventually came back and recorded her own version of the song. I haven't heard Cheryl Cole's version, but I absolutely love Ingrid's.

This is another one of those acoustic tracks that just make me melt. Sweet guitar chords mix with quiet, dreamy vocals and a dash of soft whistling. The lyrics are sweet and perfect of easy listening, laid-back, calm moods. Simple beautiful!
