I feel like I haven't posted in ages, and the truth behind it is that I have had far to much school work to do anything else. But even when I have occasionally had the time, I literally went through a stage where I simply had no idea what to write. I am still not really sure, but wanted to do something so you know that I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth, because I start exams soon and won't be able to post for a month or two. Anyway, I have been listening to some really great music at the moment, so I thought I'd share that with you. These are my top songs of the moment.
1) MINE- COVER BY GLEE (ORIGINALLY BY TAYLOR SWIFT)
2) SAME LOVE- MACKLEMORE AND RYAN LEWIS FT. MARY LAMBERT
So there is this British band called Bastille that for about the past 6 months I have literally not stopped listening to. I love very song and am just really enjoying them. I was going to post this on my music blog, but I feel like more people view this one and I love them so much that I feel like I want the whole world to share my joy of listening to them. So here it is. They do songs that have quite a few techno type stuff in them, but then they also do the most incredible acoustic covers with just their voices and maybe a guitar or two- and then clap and click and what not, to make it really a beautiful acoustic. I love them, and I think they are very easy listening and easy to sing along to. Like I said, I love every song, but here are some of my favourites.
'Bad Blood'. It took me some time to get into this song but now I listen to it on repeat all the time.
This one is called 'These Streets'.
This song (below) 'Flaws' has been done so differently, so here are some different versions, I still can't decide which one I like the best.
The acoustic version.
Also a beautiful version, with mainly string instruments.
You must excuse the absolutely weird video, I make no effort to understand it. But this is the original version, and is also very nice.
'Things We Lost In The Fire' is another favourite.
'The Weight of Living- Part 1', too beautiful.
And of course, one that maybe you have heard because it has become very popular: 'Pompeii".
(also a very weird music video)
Just a side thought, I think that this guy, Matthias Harris does a really decent cover of this song all by himself, so take a listen.
Enjoy the music, the main singer just has the most amazing voice!
