My Favourite Songs of the Week

Hello my lovelies!

I thought that today, since I promised this blog would be about my favourite music as well as my life and beauty product reviews, here are some of my favourite songs at the moment for you to enjoy. I haven’t wrote down ALL of my favourite songs because I have sooo much college work to do (it’s so depressing).

The first song I absolutely love this week is ‘Wrecking Ball’ by Miley Cyrus.  The reason I can’t stop listening to this song is because of how catchy it is. I and my friend have been singing it non-stop at college (which I know for a fact will eventually start to annoy the both of us). Now, I know there was a lot of negative attention from the media when Miley released the music video for ‘Wrecking Ball’ however, the music video does not change my opinion on the song, but my opinion on Miley has changed slightly. This has probably been said a lot but what happened to that girl with the best of both worlds?! She has either gone mad from having her false identity and changing into a wig every five minutes or she has suddenly grown a desire to lick sledge hammers and swing on a wrecking ball naked just to gain attention. This blog is not to try and insult Miley and what she believes is ‘art’, but I do think she needs to tone down ever so slightly with her raunchy approach to heavy metal objects. Forgetting the video, despite how much I genuinely love the song, it hasn’t bagged a place in the Top 40 this week.

Secondly, I have been enjoying an old Ed Sheeran song from his first album called ‘Small Bump’. The main reason I have enjoyed it so much is because I had to perform a song for my Music Tech class and so I taught myself the guitar chords and the lyrics of it. Ever since the album came out, this song was the one that stood out to me the most due to the extremely deep lyrics. The song tells a story about what it feels like to be a dad waiting for your baby to be born and then, after 4 months of being pregnant, the baby’s mum has a miscarriage. You would expect the song to be incredibly depressing, which it is, but the way he describes the baby and how much it would mean to him is incredibly thoughtful and beautiful. 

The final song that has stuck in my head this week (other than the soundtracks to all three of the ‘High School Musical’ films) has been this week’s UK Top 40 number one, ‘Roar’ by the brilliant Katy Perry. Katy has managed to cover every aspect of life in her songs; from motivation to be you to kissing girls. This song is about coming out of your shell and showing everyone who you really are instead of hiding behind them. This may sound cheesy but it has been a motivation through college too in some ways. I can’t say that as I sung in my music class, ‘Roar’ was going through my head telling me to belt out the song with all my heart, but the words are relatable to me at this time and that is why the song has stood out to me.

So I hope you enjoyed this post, everyone! I will be sure to link all of the music videos or audio clips after this post is over.

I hope you have all have a relaxing Sunday and enjoy your week of work, school, college or relaxation.
