Music 'n' What Not

It’s no secret whether you know me personally or only through reading the blog, that I just love finding out peoples tastes in music. Personally it doesn’t get better than discovering it of the people who are closest to you. Naturally its your immediate family and friends you know the most about, where you’re able to hear a song and know exactly who’s going to love it. But what’s more exciting in my eyes is learning it of someone new whether its a friend or someone special.  Now I am terrible for if I hear one song that I like, I need to investigate and find out as much about the sound/artist/their work as I can. For some its annoying as whilst i’m doing this it’s often the only thing they’ll hear my listening to for a while. For others its a chance to join in on my adventure with the music... My latest adventure has been with The Hunna, and my god what an adventure it is turning out to be. They have this vibe that adds a little something to their indie sound, that has a w...

   This post is a little different to the usual. I've picked two new songs that have recently been released, to break down and explain why I think they’re so good, and can’t stop listening to them!   Ellie Goulding - Something in the way you move.    Goulding has released ‘Something in the way you move’ quite recently and I can safely say I love this song already! It’s very catchy, with great lyrics that just stick in your head. The upbeat style sounds similar to that of Years and Years, but when you really listen to the lyrics properly, it's actually a song about heartache, learning from mistakes and knowing better. Obviously about a lover of hers (I wonder who?!).      In the lyrics, Goulding talks about the situation we all know well; of having feelings for someone when you deserve much more. Having feelings for someone who hurts you repeatedly, and will keep doing so, but not having the power to stop. She talks about the fall and the knowing ...

   I am absolutely in love with Years & Years. I've recently purchased their album and I can safely say there is not a song on there I don't like.    The following song is just pure bliss. I love the happy dance vibe; and the way the meaningful lyrics are wove into the music cleverly. I feel like this is a small tale of loving but not being loved back when thats all he wants; to be loved. We can all relate to those situations I’m sure, I definitely can, and we all know I’m a fan of songs I can relate to!    Please check them out if you don't already know who they are. If you do know them and you already love this song, have a little boogie around your bedroom, work office, the shop your walking round, anywhere and everywhere for me! It is such a feel good song even with its deep longing for love lyrics, one I think myself and everyone can appreciate.

   Hey guys! No this is not Leanne, my name is Melissa and I have taken over for one post (and maybe some more in the future if this doesn’t go terribly).     Ok then let’s get into this. Around 2 weeks ago Fightstar released their new single ‘Animal’ after being away for what seems like forever. And oh my god I’m so glad they’re back! Just from listening to one song from the upcoming album, ‘Behind the Devil’s Back’, I can tell that they have changed their sound a little bit and have gone a little bit heavier, especially with the vocals. The song starts with some heavy drum beats and then Charlie just gets straight into it with his screamy vocals. What a way to start a song and a new album! Getting straight to the point that they have changed a tiny bit, but I love it! As the song goes on the vocals get softer and you just want to sing along to “Free me now, because I’m an animal”. I can see myself and Leanne driving around, blasting this in my car with the ...

   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! Leanne xx

I always have (and always will have) a HUGE amount of love for Paramore. Right now, I'm sat in work, on lunch, with Proof playing in my ears. Fighting the urge to sing really loudly (and terribly) in the staff kitchen. Proof is one of those songs that's got a cheery up beat tempo, but is secretly a bit of a love song. The lyrics refer to missing someone, and wanting to see them, while having a slight fear about what they’re doing. There are definitely some hints of that stereotypical ‘psycho side’ that every girl has, but deny and fear. Ending the chorus with "the only proof that I need is you" brings back the cheeriness in the song. This is definitely a song I love, can listen to whatever my mood and can relate to on some levels. I hope you enjoyed, and look out for whats to come! Leanne xo Paramore - PROOF:
