Hello - Martin Solveig & Dragonette
Young Blood - The Naked and Famous
King of Hearts (Kanye West Remix) - Cassie
Animal (Peter Bjorn and John remix) - Miike Snow

So keep dreaming. Keep creating possibilities. Keep getting your hands dirty with the work it takes to bring those possibilities to life.
The future belongs to you.
