Music 'n' What Not

   We're No Heroes . What a name. What a statement. Their name on its own is compelling, their music? Even better.     We're No Heroes have released their long and anticipated single ' Youth' . I managed to nab a sneaky peak just before the release, and man was it good! This trio of lads are adding to my strong belief that Wales is the underrated Liverpool, as it appears to be the home to many talented musicians, with these guys currently being based in Cardiff. Now  I  am digging this song for many reasons, from its funky 80's influence, right down to the well pieced together dynamics of the song. And below im gonna nit pick at the song to explain exactly why this song is worth the listen and why you wont be able to deny the movements.     This song is a very well pieced together sample of amazing music. Featuring many different key components, that once teamed up creates an incredible sound. ' Youth' is definitely a song w...

  I am one for enjoying a song that makes you feel the emotions behind it, whether thats empowerment or even like crying into a tube of Haagen Daz ice cream. One of my favourite examples of this currently, is the recent release by Lady Gaga - Million Reasons. This song is just brilliant as its filled with emotions from the very beginning right down to the end. And its not just built up through the lyrics, the whole overall piece is incredibly done to portray these emotions that Ms Gaga must have been feeling when she wrote this masterpiece, and maybe still even feels every time she performs it or even sits at home in her pjs.   So firstly I'm going to talk about the physical music side of this song. Something all songs will have is layers, this is the different instruments used and the different aspects that they bring to a song. In the case of Million Reasons the instruments used are; vocals, piano, cojan and acoustic guitar. The way in which these instruments are played...

 In 2010, the single 'Starry Eyed' graced our ears. It was this moment I felt a magical feeling, that has not left me yet. I can safely say that purchasing 'Lights' was one of the best purchases I've ever made! Okay, maybe my mom brought it me, I'm not sure but still!!Of course 2010 saw the blossom of Elena Goulding's music career, or as you may know her best, Ellie Goulding. Over the years Goulding has teased and pursued different styles and genres, resulting in each album being almost polar opposites. Displaying her musical talents to the max, Goulding has nabbed herself; two number one albums, two Brit awards, over 20 million sales and so much more! Not to mention recognition worldwide for sound tracking brilliantly the 50 Shades of Grey film (which created its own phenomenon), paired with a equally captivating video. With all this credit and the fact I practically love every song of Goulding's or one she has featured in, I have always wanted to see...

   Songs that get stuck in your head can be the MOST annoying thing in the world, especially if they’re so catchy and absolutely awful. But today, I’m sat in work with two songs stuck in my head that are there for the complete opposite reason, they are amazing!    They are; Pvris’ White Noise and Paramores Fast in my Car.    Both are amazing, strong songs that are incredibly catchy; both lyrically and instrumentally. I can’t complain about having these songs running through my head today but it is very difficult not to sing out loud whilst dancing around the office.  A long struggle is set for the rest of the day, to hold it in until I’m home.    If you haven't already, be sure to check them out on YouTube, I've added some links below to both songs!  PVRIS - White Noise Paramore - Fast In My Car As always guys, thank you!
