Hello my lovelies!
I am really bad at this organised blogging lark and so have decided to scrap my schedule and just bring you blogs which I like when I can. Today I am doing a blog different from my make up blogs as I am trying to drift away from my make up obsession (yes I did just say that). Basically, I have no job, and therefor no money. When I receive money I spent it, on make up. I want to start saving, for things I really want and need, and well, make up just isn't a necessity. Also it means when I do buy make up, it's a little treat, and more special :). Obviously when I do get new products I will review them ect, and I will still wear make up, just very samey samey make up on a daily basis. Also my collection won't be as extensive and wont continue to expand at a ridiculous rate. All that over and done with, todays blog is a few of my song which I just put on at home, whilst doing my homework or reading and just chill and listen to. I know not all these songs will be to everyones taste, and some may even seem peculiar, however, I find them particularly relaxing and feel almost stress free when I listen to them :)
Night Forest (Live Old Piano) - Il'ya Beshevli
I was browsing some of 8tracks' (a music app) Sherlock playlists and I came across this playlist called "Deduction" and I absolutely loved it. I was stressed out that day because I'd had an incredibly difficult French mock exam and just needed to stop thinking for a while and calm down a little. This playlist helped me to do exactly that, as it was just so relaxing. It's full of songs where there is only a piano and occasionally another instrument and it's just so fantastic. I think the description of the playlist was 'inside Sherlock's mind', which made me adore it even more as i think anyone would love to be able to comprehend what goes on inside Sherlock Holmes' head.
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - Orla Gartland
An absolutely gorgeous rendition of the U2 song. I adore Orla Gartland's voice so much and she deserves copious amounts of recognition. The song is just so so so good it's inexplicable. Go over to youtube and look at Orla's covers because she is genuinely amazing and the cover is just absolutely gorgeous!
It's About Time - Barcelona
I adore this song so much. Again I found it on 8tracks, and as soon as I heard it I was tweeting lyrics and singing it all the time. I absolutely adore the style of the song. It had a sort of TDCC / The Killers feel to it, but also a sense of individuality. I absolutely adore it and there is a lyric which I love and it's something like 'They cant love me, they cant love what I dont show'. I really don't know it just sticks out so much and this song is just absolutely wonderful! If you only listen to one song on this list, make sure it's this one because I honestly believe you'll adore it.
Woods - Bon Iver
I adore Bon Iver, and if you don't well, you're wrong. This song is so gorgeous and chilled. It has a subtle electro vibe, and isn't like anything I've heard before. I think it was on Skins a while ago, and thats where I initially heard it. I rediscovered it when my phone was on shuffle, and omg I adore it once more. I find it incredibly difficult to describe a song without becoming repetitive and boring, and I am starting to run out of superlatives so it is getting tricky, but this song is amazing!
Read My Mind - The Killers
Had to include a killers song in there because they are one of the words greatest bands, and this track was on another 'Sherlock' playlist and I had to put it in, simply because an opportunity to combine my favourite things (sherlock and the killers) cannot not be surpassed. So for the sake of the fantastic band and the program go and listen to this song!
Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine
Finally, we have this wonderful song. I adore Florence Welch she is literally a queen and this song is one of the best off her second album. I loved her first album a lot and got very very excited when her second one was released. Shake it Out is one of the most famous tracks off the album and one of the best. I adore Florence, however I must say, Lungs was a better album than Ceremonials (don't hate), just because every single track was absolutely amazing, although Ceremonials does have some killer tracks, I don't think every single one is as good as Lungs on the whole. That said it's an amazing song, so I suggest you listen to it! :-)
Okay, so they're just a few songs on my little relaxation playlist. Obviously there are plenty of other songs I'd love to talk about I just haven't got the time or space or the vocabulary to do the amazing songs justice! If these songs just aren't enough, I suggest you check out 8tracks, as it's a really good app for music. You can discover new bands like I did, and find songs you'll absolutely love! Thank you for reading my lovelies! Hope you have a lovely day :)
