Music Monday #4 ♡

Hello there readers if you're still here, I know I've not made a blogpost in what feels like a long time but there is a reason, I have mock exams coming up and I can't find the time to do a haul and because my proper exams will be coming up soon I can't really make a wishlist because by the time I can go properly shopping again the things I want may not be in existence anymore.. but I have been listening to a lot of music recently so I thought I would do a Music Monday post :)

1. Lolita - Lana Del Rey

This isn't a new song but to be honest when do I ever post new songs on here? I have been listening to this song about 50 times a day at the moment, although I feel the need to change the lyrics after having finished reading Lolita a few months ago I still really like it :)

2. Chocolate - the 1975

This song is probably as new as it gets for me. I had sort of been avoiding the 1975 for a long time because I know lots of people who like them who don't have a similar taste in music to me so I assumed I wouldn't like them even after my Philosophy teacher suggested them (and he suggests the best music) but after a Psychology lesson where people on my table were obsessing about them I thought it was time I gave them a proper listen and this was the first song I listened to and I have been listening to it lots, I like some other songs by the 1975 but at the moment this is probably my favourite.

3. Teddy picker - Arctic Monkeys

Anyone who knows me knows that I adore the Arctic Monkeys and it's very difficult for me to listen to a song by them and not like it, I've been listening to the Favourite Worst Nightmare album all week because it's been reduced to £4.99 on iTunes and I want to buy it before it goes back up but I didn't know all of the songs on it and this song has just been stuck in my head for about a week.

4. Screams in the Ears - Bill Fay

Not a new song once again but I only heard this yesterday because someone I follow on tumblr reblogged it and, rather than scrolling past songs on my dashboard like I used to, I listened to it and I really like it, the intro drew me in straight away :)

5. Brick by Brick - Arctic Monkeys

The reason I've been listening to the Suck it and See album is the same reason I'm listening to Favourite Worst Nightmare, but I'm thinking I'm going to end up downloading Favourite Worst Nightmare at the moment, anyway this song has stuck out for me on that specific album. After doing some reading up about the song, I've read that it's about cocaine? I just really love how upbeat it is and then it slows down and just goes back into the swing of things. If you like Arctic Monkeys I don't see why you wouldn't like this song.

Thanks for reading! I think I'm going to be doing a lot more of these type of posts at the moment due to revision and going out less, plus I'm giving up Primark for lent anyway (and then for as long as I can stay away from it) so there probably will be fewer hauls if any. I might do some recipe or DIY posts if anyone wants those?

Music Monday #3 ♡

So I haven't done one of these in a long time so I thought I would do a Music Monday because I have gotten into a few new songs :)

1. Cornflake Girl - Tori Amos

This was suggested to me (and my class) by my Philosophy teacher because we do recommendations from the arts each lesson, so I usually contribute a film that I've watched over the weekend but my teacher usually suggests a song or an artist and sometimes a film and he recommended this artist, and honestly I think she's great. Sort of a Sara Bareilles-Ben Folds hybrid and I quite like her, this song in particular though I love the actual music to it.

2. Eden - Sara Bareilles

I mentioned Sara Bareilles in the above so if it wasn't clear enough already, I love Sara Bareilles but I didn't like the songs on her new album that much so I didn't give all the songs a chance but I listened to this song and I really like the harmonies on it, she has great musicality and it comes across so well in her music.

3. Once Upon A Dream - Lana Del Rey

As a devoted Disney and Lana fan there was no way I was going to dislike this cover. I really want to see Malificent in the cinemas when it comes out, I'm hoping I can find someone to go with me.. I really love how this song was changed into something a bit more dark, I think it puts a nice twist on the song.

4. Come on Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners

Let's be honest, is there anyone who doesn't like this song? It's such a great song and I'm in one of those phases where it's one of the only things I can listen to, it's so happy and lovely :)

5. Starlight - Muse

This song sounds a lot like The Script to me and I just really like it, but the accent annoys me, far too nasal for my liking but the actual song itself I quite like.

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked reading this :)

Favourite Songs of the Moment

My music taste is pretty different from most kids my age, and these songs aren't new songs but they're songs that for some reason have just been sticking in my head this week.

1. This Charming Man - The Smiths

This song is just perfect to be quite honest, the guitar part is pretty cool and Morrissey is amazeballs so there.

2. Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High? - Arctic Monkeys

This song is so catchy, the Arctic Monkeys are one of my favourite bands up there with The Beatles and The Smiths. My friend and I are constantly singing this at school, the Arctic Monkeys' new album is definitely on my wishlist!

3. This is What Makes Us Girls - Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey is like a goddess to be quite honest, her voice is like honey and her song's are different and individual, she's a radiant human being. This album is basically perfection.

4. Living Dead- Marina and the Diamonds

I don't usually like this type of music but there's something about Marina, I really like this album too, I think it's a love hate type of thing though. More like marmite and the diamonds haha..

5. Off to the Races - Lana Del Rey

As I said before, I love this album, plus I like the Lolita reference haha.

Thanks for reading, I have way more favourite songs but these are just constantly in my head at the moment, I'm sure I'll overplay them and end up skipping them every time they come up on my shuffle but I don't know. 

My question for you: what are your favourite songs of the moment?
