My Music and Yours
This past week has been a serious blur of nothingness. However I got a lot of albums this week and I have just been trawling through them all, picking out my favourite songs of the pack! La Roux, VV Brown, Elbow...god I love music! Comment me and add some songs that have made your week; I'm always interested in what kind of songs people like :)
- Bulletproof- La Roux. Okay chartsong alert, but this is such a massive tune. Especially that little synthesizer instrumental towards the end! Plus I tried and failed to get a La Roux inspired fringe this week. It didn't work lol. It was my bus song of the week (which is literally a song I listened to on the bus. Literally.) Also Quicksand is a tune I can see becoming a favourite.
- Grounds for Divorce- Elbow. I got the "Seldom Seen Kid" album and this song is probably the best track on it (well along with One Day Like This, but I prefer the Live Lounge version of that song. It reminds me of cold December days when I used to listen to it on my way to school last year). PLUS I just realised Grounds for Divorce was the song they used to promote House MD Series 6! No wonder I thought it was so damn sexy!
- Travelling Like the Light- V V Brown. Okay this is the name of her album and it is one album I strongly urge you to get it. Seriously she is such a great retrosinger. I heard Crying Blood ages ago on the Friday Night Project (lol at Alan Carr doing 60's style dancing with her) but this album has great songs like "Leave", "Bottles", "Crazy Amazing" and "Travelling Like the Light". Youtube 'em!
- Red- Daniel Merriweather. Is it strange that when I hear this mans name it reminds me of the fairy in Sleeping Beauty lol. This song, yet again, is another charter but it's so beautiful! If you wanna hear another great song by him, listen to "Cigarettes". Kinda addictive. Plus, he's beautiful :)
- Apologise- Pixie Lott. I have been bitten by the envy bug; she is gorgeous. And she can sing. This is simply the BEST cover ever. She does this song and Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" and honestly they are amazing. Most people know Pixie Lott for her song "Mama Do" but I prefer these covers!
- Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)- Florence & The Machine. From the girl who brought you "Kiss With a Fist" this song is also somewhere in the charts. A bit hippy-Diana Vickers-esque I suppose, but I loved Miss Vickers so I love this :) Plus Kiss with a Fist reminds of of T4 and therefore the gorgeous Steve Jones. YUM.
