everybodys changing and i dont feel the same

so ive been gone from the blogging world for a bit. theres just been so much happening. i feel like ive changed so much and so have my friends. we're just different people than we were at the beginning of this holiday. its like we've suddenly grown up and are doing the stuff we used to sit around chatting about.

anyway enough about my wierd life! music! this (above) is the music video for love the way you lie and im just in love with the song and really in love with megan fox! i just think shes so gorgeous and the exact look i try and look like but it never quite works out! eminem is my life and its just amazing having his music on the radio all the time.

ive made a few great playlists that i wanna share with you. this one is a pop rock sort of thing:

too fake by hockey, song away by hockey, kiss and tell by you me at six, lost in stereo by all time low, cosmic love by florence and the machine, high five swan dive nose dive by pulled apart by horses, shock horror by the view, same jeans by the view, the captain by biffy clyro, mountains by biffy clyro, your betrayal by bullet for my valentine.

speak soon x

what would you rather me be like? i aint ever gonna change, are you ever gonna realise?








these are pictures from t in the park (pictures in order: eminem, ellie goulding, biffy clyro, florence and the machine, muse, paolo nutini, vampire weekend)
i didnt really hear much of the coverage coz i actually went to wales this weekend! i went with one of my best friends and a friends babysitting job who we've all become really friendly with. shes 22 but has three kids and just got a divorce and when she was going through the divorce she became really good friends with one of my friends. anyway it was sort of a last minute thing but we went to this caravan on this farm in north wales in the middle of nowhere and just had a lovely time.. really relaxing and peaceful.
but im back for about a week and a bit coz im off to france really soon! im so excited about france!
so back to t in the park: the only performance ive watched is eminems performance which was epic. i swear i was nearly in tears. im so obsessed with eminem its not even funny!
anyway im off to afflecks palace with a few friends today and im just generally spending my holidays on the internet or watching films (i watched the ugly truth last night which was amazing! i now have a new crush on gerald butler and hes scottish! you know how much i love scottish accents!) x

(view of stage, florence-love that dress!, the xx, jamie t, la roux, muse)
just had a weekend of singing along to eminem.. his new album recovery has come out and i havent had the time to go and buy it but im listening to it on we7. its epic!
love the way you lie, his song with rihanna is just amazing. that is gonna be a big song (title lyrics from that song). also love airplane, the b.o.b song with hayley williams. love the eminem remix. that is a great link to what im up to tomorrow! im off to prague on a school trip! im gonna be gone til friday.. its very exciting! and then im going to france in a few weeks with a few friends!
anyway back to music. glastonbury has been going on this weekend so i picked out some of my favourite pictures to share with you. i watched the muse set online which was amazing. ive never watched a whole set of theirs but now i see why people call them one of the best live bands. also watched the xx perform their remix of florence's you got the love with florence! ive never seen the xx perform but theyre just amazing.
so have a lovely week. check out glastonbury stuff here. see you soon x

we are an example of why not to fall in love, it takes a turn and then it hurts more than you could dream of



these are some pictures i was thinking of having as blog title pictures but they didnt look quite right. i love the MGMT picture i have now. its so pretty. anyway the first picture is of coco sumner, the second is of florence and the third is of ellie goulding. im still so obsessed with guns and horses by ellie goulding except now i actually know all the words so i can properly sing along! also learnt a lot of the words to not afraid by eminem. just heard that song about half an hour ago on the radio. what an epic song. i just love eminem!
got a history exam tomorrow and im finishing my exams next monday so just a week to go! its so exciting!
the lovely title lyrics are from you me at six and their newish single liquid confidence. its not their best song but i love that lyric. that song has actually been around for ages!
anyway better get back to my studying, hope your all well x

i never wanted anything from you except everything you had and what was left after that




i love these pics. that first one is just magical.
i currently have some big music obsessions. eminems new song not afraid is just amazing. its really tuneful but still the old eminem with his heartbreaking lyrics. its quite a beautiful song.
another amazing song is ellie gouldings new single guns and horses. its quite slow and her voice just sounds amazing. its about wanting to take her boyfriends pain for him (but i wish i could feel it all for you) another really tuneful song
and to keep in with the slow, beautiful, tuneful music theme, im also obsessed with paolo nutini. his song candy is amazing and my lovely friend bought me the album which i adore. its perfect for a long car journey, just a good slow album but it doesnt put you to sleep! it made me crave a cup of tea if that helps explain it!
im now on study leave and im finding that florence is actually the best music to work with. im not sure why but shes just perfect to listen to while doing my chemistry!
just wanna say sorry in advance coz im not really gonna be able to keep up with all your amazing blogs at the moment. just bear with me and in a month and a half this will all be over! x

when they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else and they hope that they're mistaken




wow this a great load of music pics. the first is of the killers on stage, the next is some guy on guitar at coachella. ive no idea who he is but i just like the picture. the third picture is of florence, isnt it gorgeous?! and the last is of bombay bicycle club. how cute is it?! i had a dream about bombay bicycle club that one of them was serving me at a fish shop and i told them that i really liked their music!
anyway i was just watching 90210 and a regina specktor song came on. id really fogotten about her. she has such a stunning voice. so the title lyrics are from her song laughing with which is such a beautiful song. i love how pure and simple her voice in. we were just talking about different types of voices in physics today coz we were learning about sound waves and stuff... anyway im getting off the point here (as usual!)
i've got coursework in for next week and exams starting in a few weeks so that should stop me posting a lot so sorry if i abandon this blog for a bit. but my study leave starts on the 7th may so after that i will hopefully be posting a bit more although i have to make sure i dont spend too much time on the computer coz i have a ton of exams to learn for! cya x

lets conspire to re-ignite all the souls that would die just to feel alive







for once i actually know the photographers name! these photos are all from connie wang, her pictures are just beautiful.
so the charity single for haiti is at number one. is it wrong to hate charity singles? they all just sound the same and are so boring.
oh and i watched the brit awards last week. it was such a big moment for me and my friend when florence won best british album. thats one person who really deserved her award. JLS getting two awards? WTF?
just made a coffee cake which is currently in the oven. ill try and keep you posted on that. just ate some of the raw batter and im feeling ill. do you think i have salmonella?! i hope not.
have a lovely week x

we laugh until we think we'll die, barefoot on a summers night, nothing new is sweeter than with you






i dont often mention other blogs just coz im too lazy but i just wanted to tell you guys to check out jamis blog. it gives me so many different inspirations and ideas. its really a photography blog and she has this amazing ability to just find the best photography.

so onto music:

  • currently listening to florences album. the girl is just a creative genius. check out her website here.
  • i am totally obsessed with home by edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros (what a name for a band!)
  • im also completely obsessed with the tinie tempah song pass out. normally i dont like r&b stuff like n-dubz but this is how the whole british urban music scene should be like. its about not taking yourself to seriously and having fun with the music and those stupid r&b singers who actually sing their lyrics like they mean something: its a joke! tinie tempah shows how urban r&b should sound like and he gets extra credits for making a reference to the hills ('heidi and audrina eat your heart out'). check it out on we7 here.

thanks for all the lovely comments on my last few posts it really is much appreciated x

stay if you wanna love me, stay oh dont be shy lets cause a scene like lovers do on silver screens lets make it yeah, we'll cause a scene





This is a very weird mix of pics. I have no idea where the first two are from.
The third picture is of mumford and sons, the fourth is of the killers. Im loving the killers second album at the moment (sams town). Its just full of hits and its just such a fun exciting album.
And the last picture is of Florence. I found this picture randomly and its just gorgeous.
Thanks for all the great comments on my last post. I really love that last post anyway keep well x

dont let go, never give up, its such a wonderful life

this is a montage/collage (what the hell do you call it?!) from the bbc website. i think ive used all these pictures but they look really cool together.
so i thought for this post i could go through the top five of the 'bbc sound for 2010' list. so here goes!
  1. ellie goulding-i just checked out my blog and i realised that ive never written about ellie goulding so heres a first! she won this title and i do love her music. under the sheets has really grown on me and she is the one new talent (except marina) that me and my friend agree on. i just love how soft and beautiful her music is. its like snowpatrol but softer and more dance sort of music. i guess shes more electric than snowpatrol. ellies music is really made to fit the dance genre but snowpatrol is more acoustic and about the guitars and shes about the tempo and everything. her music is a bit dubstep. and that was me trying to explain an artists sound! i really am crap at explaining just check out under the sheets!
  2. marina and the diamonds-heres a singer i have talked about before and i just love her music. shes like a modern kate bush doing pop. what a beautiful voice and her lyrics make so much sense but they are very clever. oh i just thought of the word to describe ellie goulding- electro pop. so back to marina, i love all her songs but one of my favourites has to be i am not a robot. marina makes some great music videos so check those out on youtube. she just has lots of fun with the music videos, i love it when artists do that. i think it was cornerstone by the arctic monkeys when all you have is stupid alex turner (hes a cool guy just hate his hair) just singing to the camera for 4 mins. hate arctic monkeys for that! the killers also make amazing music videos. right back to our list..
  3. delphic-i dont know a lot about them but doubt is just a great song. they really make such beautiful music.
  4. hurts-i LOVE this band and i only know one of their songs but its just beautiful. i know normally the title lyrics i use are very depressing. actually i cant remember when i used a happy title lyric but this title lyric is from hurts and its just beautiful. their song, wonderful life reminds me a lot of dont give up by kate bush and peter gabriel. they are both about not giving up and staying strong. they were both also made for a time of recession when people want to just give up. i love songs which have a strong message.
  5. the drums-ive just got completely obsessed with their song lets go surfing. maybe its to do with the snow! im getting quite fed up of the snow and someone told me its gonna carry on like this for six weeks. six fucking weeks! i hope its not true

so thats the top five. i looked at the full list but the rest i havent heard of except that stupid daisy girl. her music is dreadful. i hope it doesnt do well coz then it will always be on the radio and i do not wanna hear it.

so if youre bored check out these artists or go to cinema and watch sherlock holmes coz its amazing. such a fun film to watch cya x
