Music Monday!

I'm actually writing this on Sunday, but I've just scheduled it for this time, because right now, I'll be at school!  So, a lot of my posts will be scheduled from now on!

Here are my top 3 songs from last week!:D

We Could Be Amazing - Andy Grammer

Love this song!  I really like Andy's music, I just discovered him recently.  It's a really nice, relaxing song, that I can kind of relate to just now;)  Yeah, nuff said.

Fine By Me - Andy Grammer

I know, another song by Andy Grammer!  I've heard this so many times, but I never knew who the artist was!  This is such a fun singalong song, and the video is just too cute!

Taking Over Me - Lawson

Another fun love song!  Lawson have such a distinctive sound, and I think my mum loves this song more than I do!  I love their style as well:)

That's it for this week!  Feel free to recommend any songs for me to listen to!

Music Monday!

I've been so busy recently, it's hard to find time to blog!  I know you English peeps are still on holiday, while we're back at school here in Scotland!  Anyways, here are my 3 favourite songs of last week!

Sunset - Avalanche City

This is such a cute song!  One of my friends recommended it to me, and I've been listening to it ever since.  It's now my alarm song, because it's so happy and upbeat!

You Already Know - Bombay Bicycle Club

This is another really sweet one, great to listen to with rain in the background, and it's a really lovely peaceful song.

No Name - Ryan O'Shaughnessy

I fell in love with his music the first time I heard him on Britains Got Talent.  I cried, because I can relate to so much in this song.  He is such a talented songwriter, the way he uses words are magical, and his melodies are so sweet.

Well, that's it for today!  Expect a little DIY post tomorrow!  Don't forget to clickity-click what you want at the poll on the side, and remember to ask me a question for my 'Ask Nicola' feature - still no questions!:(

Music Monday!

You know the drill.  My top 3 favourite songs of last week!  Here they are, be sure to listen to them!

Call It What You Want - Foster The People

Ah! Looove this:)  This is my kind of style of music, and it's a great upbeat, fun track to listen to:)  I've been listening to this so much!

Only Love - Ben Howard

This is such a lovely song, and he has a lovely voice to go along with it.  Such a serene, calm song and really nice to listen to:)

Brokenhearted - Karmin

This is such a fun dance-y track!  One thats great to listen to with your girlfriends, and a feel-good song to cheer you up when you're down.  Grab the hairbrush, and get dancing!:D

Just a quick reminder, that the poll is over at the left side of this blog for what future posts can feature.  I would really appreciate it if you could click a few options, just to give me a few pointers and ideas on what you want to see in the blog!  Thanks!<3

Something Good Can Work.

You would probably think that this would be some sort of inspirational post, but it's actually about my favourite band!

You might have heard of an Irish indie rock band called Two Door Cinema Club...

With top hits such as What You Know and Undercover Martyn, who wouldn't fall in love with their original sounds and guitar picking?

The trio is made up of Alex Trimble, Sam Halliday and Kevin Baird. Alex doing lead vocals, guitar, bases & synths, Sam doing lead guitar and backing vocals, and Kevin doing bass guitar and backing vocals. Put these together and what do you get? Pure. Musical. Genius!

I've liked this band for a while now, and I kind of like how they aren't massively known, it almost makes me think I have some sort of possession over them
(along with other fans, of course:P). Slowly, they are becoming more and more well known, and are gaining a large fan base.

Their first album is out just now (and has been for a couple of years) and its called Tourist History. Their next album is coming out early September called Beacon.

So, I would love it if you checked them out (it's okay if you don't like it, haha!). If you do like the music, great! Please tell me what you think in the comments below!
