Top 10 Songs by Graham Colton

Appreciating a Very Underrated Artist

Top Ten Songs by Graham Colton

1) Best Days

This is probably the most popular song by Graham Colton. The song is inspirational. Its message is simple: life is difficult and always changing, but you need to enjoy yourself in the moment. Also, if you wait too long, your chance may be gone. Lastly, if you haven't started something that you have always wanted to, "here comes the rest of our lives..."

2) All the World Tonight

This one is my favorite by the Graham Colton Band. Colton sings about how perceptive Colton is becoming. He has locked up his old memories and is ready to move on.

3) Always in Love

The title gives the message of this song away. It is up tempo, and Colton sings about all of the reasons and places that make him realize how in love he is with whomever the song was directed towards. It is hard to say if this song is meant for after a relationship or while he is in one, but it seems to work either way.

4) Cellophane Girl

This song is very smooth, and, while the lyrics are somewhat repetitive and perhaps tacky, they are very catchy. Colton is singing to a girl who was "the best thing in [his life]". The song is a little sad, but many listeners can relate.

5) No Myth

This is song is a bonus track on Colton's newest album on iTunes, Here Right Now. In this one Colton uses some wishful thinking as to ways that he can get this mystery girl. Many of the lyrical phrases begin with "What if..." He sings in the upper register in this song, and overall it is slightly atypical of the Graham Colton style listeners are familiar with.

6) How Low (Breakdown)

"How Low" is definitely the saddest song Colton sings. The song has very catchy lyrics that listeners will sing over and over again. When you listen to these lyrics though, the song speaks about how difficult relationships are and how low people will go to stay in them. This song can bring some people to some major realizations.

7) Best Thing in My Life

This song is another sad one. This time Colton is joined by Cary Pierce. The song involves a couple, and the female is about o fly away, most likely across the country for the extended stay. Colton does not want his partner to leave as he realizes how good she is to him.

8) First Week

Colton reminisces about how wonderful his newest relationship was in the first week. He is just pleading for it to go back to its old ways because it seems to have slightly deteriorated. The song is upbeat and GC really belts out the lyrics. He combines his chill and powerful sides in this song.

9) Cut

"Cut" starts off somewhat slow. The first time I heard this song, I was skeptical that I liked it. However, this is one of those songs that grows on listeners. It has a great sound and the echo portion of the bridge has a really interesting sound.

10) Morning Light

This rounds out my personal top 10. Colton's voice has a great sound in this chart. It sounds as if he is almost begging for his girlfriend to just stay a little longer, all the way until the "morning light".

Anyone who has not listened to any Graham Colton, I highly suggest that you start. He is an awesome artist who is very underrated.
