Hello!
I'm sorry that I've been a wee bit absent on my blog recently, I just have had a lot on my mind. I'm back now though! Miley Cyrus - "Party In The U.S.A." I've no idea why but I've had this song on repeat this week haha, it's an oldie but a goodie, what more can I say really?
"It's definitely not a Nashville party // 'Cause all I see are stilettos // I guess I never got the memo"
Ella Eyre - "Together" I absolutely adore Ella Eyre's voice, love love love!
"You know that we are better off as two"
Vance Joy - "Riptide" To be honest, I've been listening to the whole album, Dream Your Life Away. New fave, very similar to James Vincent McMorrow, Ben Howard etc.
"I love you when you're singing that song and // I got a lump in my throat 'cause / You're gonna sing the words wrong."
Halsey - "Hurricane" Again, I've been listening to the whole EP, Room 93. I'm so in love with the lyrics to every song, it was hard to pick my favourite.
"I went down to a place in Bed Stuy // A little liquor on my lips // I let him climb inside my body // And held him captive in my kiss."
One Direction - "Drag Me Down" How could I not include One Direction's newest song? I was a bit worried that I wouldn't like it (Zayn was my favourite *sob sob*) but I am unbelievably impressed with this song!
"With your love, nobody can drag me down"
Let me know in the comments what you think of these songs!
Hello! This week I had a couple of setbacks, which I'm sure I'll write about another time so it was time to whack out my playlist for when I'm down entitled Breathe. I also added a couple of new songs to it, here are the highlights: James Bay - "Running" This song featured during my 30 day song challenge, you can read the full post here. Favourite line: "When my heart is ready to burst // When the world spins in reverse // I'll keep running // To the place where I belong."
Daughter - "Still" This band is a fairly new discovery for me, a few months ago maybe? Their songs are like poetry to music - in fact I first found them by googling the words to what I thought was a poem on tumblr. Favourite line: "Two hands longing for each others warmth // Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats."
Gem Club - "Michael" Gorgeous song, haven't heard much else of this band but I'll get right on that, I promise. Favourite line: "I watched when you move // how the whole world moves."
Ruby The Rabbitfoot - "Ways" Such a unique song I think. Favourite line: "You're probably thinking of ways // Ways to be good to me."
Catfish and the Bottlemen - "Kathleen" A bit more upbeat than the others, I listened to this one lots when I was feeling a bit better. Favourite line: "It's impractical // To go out and catch a death with a dress fit for the summer."
Let me know in the comments what songs you have been loving this week!
Hello! I hope that you are having a brilliant weekend! Where I live in Scotland, the schools have just broken up for the summer so now my sister and mum are lazing round the house like I have been since May. This type of post is designed to let me let you all know what music I've been loving this week - essentially over the week I add my favourite songs to a playlist on my Spotify which I then transfer over to this blog. I hope you like what I have chosen! Oh! -and don't expect there to be any sort of theme or genre. I have a pretty varied taste in music. Halsey - "Is There Somewhere?" Halsey is a new artist that I've discovered this week and I really really love her! I haven't listened to many of her songs because I've had this on repeat. Favourite line: "And I try to refrain but you're stuck in my brain. // And all I do is cry and complain because second's not the same."
Walk the Moon - "Shut Up and Dance" As I'm writing this, this song is number 4 on the UK singles chart so I can't be the only person loving this song this week! It is a bit cheesy and overplayed but I can't stop listening to it. Favourite line: "Helpless to the bass and faded light"
Femme - "Fever Boy" The final episode of season 9 of Made in Chelsea featured a few really great artists (including Kodaline live -yessss!) so I was straight on to Spotify to add them when I came across the Made in Chelsea Soundtrack. Even if you don't watch MIC I would really recommend it because it features some really great artists that you might not have heard of. Favourite line: "I'm looking at the girl in the afghan coat and wondering whether she's naked underneath it"
Ella Eyre - "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" (cover of Jermaine Stewart) Ella Eyre was another new discovery this week thanks to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. She has an incredible voice and I really love this cover. Favourite line: "And if the conversations good vibrations through and through"
Anna Kendrick & Jeremy Jordan's songs from The Last Five Years I wrote about this film in yesterday's favourites post. I've watched it twice simply because I can't find full versions of the songs anywhere. The below video gives a sample of all the songs. My favourites are Kendrick's "Still Hurting" and "A Summer in Ohio" and Jordan's "Shiksa Goddess". Favourite line: "I could shove an ice pick in my eye // I could eat some fish from last July // But it wouldn't be as awful as a summer in Ohio // Without cable, hot water, Vietnamese food, or you"
