I always find it really intriguing to find out what other people are listening to. All to often I get so stuck in a rut listening to the same few songs over and over again, and in the end I get so bored I end up hating them!
Also, although if someone asks me 'what type of music do you like?' my stock response is 'anything', really, I would say I'm extremely limited when it comes to Artists and genres, so I also welcome any opportunity to widen my musical horizons!
So, as well as me gaining inspiration off others, it seems only fair I to let you know what I've been listening to over the last few weeks!
The Guilty Pleasure: I would- One Direction
I LOVE this song, it is an instant pick me up, and if I need a burst of energy or motivation I turn this up loud and dance along! This is from the Boy's 2012 album 'Take Me Home' so is by no means a new song, but I'd never heard it before. It came up as a suggestion on YouTube after another One Direction song, and I've been singing along ever since. I easily listen to this song around 10 times a day at the moment, and when I'm not listening to it, I'm humming the tune aloud!
The Favourite: Flaws- Bastille
Bastille are one of my all time favourite bands, and this might actually be my favourite song they've released so far. However if I could, I'd write about every single song, I love them that much! There's something about the lyrics of all Bastille songs that strike a chord with me, and I find their music really enchanting and slightly haunting, and this song is no exception. When I get the time I'm going to learn this as my next song on the piano!
The Old School: Bills, Bills, Bills- Destiny's Child
I am in a time-warp somewhere 1995 and 2004. More than half the space in my iTunes is taken up by songs from my childhood and teenage years, I'm a 90's child, through and through! Although I never listened to Destiny's Child when I was growing up, I am now a huge fan. Bills, Bills, Bills is from their 1999 album The Writing's on the Wall. I'm all for girl power and independence, and the sass of this song is off the scale! You just can't go wrong with 90's pop groups,ever.
The Unexpected: The Good and The Right, Ward Thomas
After hearing this on the radio a couple of times I could feel my feet tapping along, however me being me I missed the title every time! I frantically googled and googled until I found the song in question! I fully expected the singer to be a middle aged American lady (stereotyping at it's best) but was surprised to find that Ward Thomas are 19 year old twins Catherine and Lizzy, from England. I've never really listened to country music, but I can't get enough of this song, it's addictive and you can't help but jig along. I feel like Ward Thomas are going to be very big in the months to come!
And there we are. Are these songs music to your ears or did they hit a bum note?
What are you listening to at the moment, I'd love to know!
