when i see you walking with her i have to cover my eyes, everytime you leave with her something inside of me dies




ive been away for too long! sorry i havent been checking out all your amazing blogs but i had to move out of the house coz my brother got mumps (even though he had the vaccine) and i didnt want to get it and then my mum went to london. anyway so ive had about a week and a half away from my beloved computer!
so this is very exciting coz this is my 100th post! ive been blogging for about 7 months now! i cant believe its been that long! it feels like a few months ago and that makes me feel so old but im only 15. it reminds me of the killers lyric 'im so much older than i can take' except i feel like my age doesnt match how old i feel like the other day i was sitting there with my radio and a cup of tea and thinking this is the life and then i was like this is ridiculous! im a teenager, im supposed to be irresponsible and stupid but im just so not like that. anyway how did i get onto this?!!
hope you had an amazing new year and some of the bands that i think (and hope) are gonna be big this year are:
  1. delphic-theyre song doubt is just beautiful. i havent heard much else of theirs but i cant wait to hear more.
  2. temper trap-we all know them for sweet disposition but their new song , which i cant remember the name of, is just gorgeous. its not like sweet disposition but just amazing. what the hell is it called?!!
  3. i love marina and the diamonds and shes definitely tipped to be big this year.
  4. the drums-im just listening to their EP which is just so cool. very summery but still sounds beautiful. its quite laid back and fun. check it out here.

so thats it! have a great week ive got lots of exams now so sorry if it takes me a long time to catch up with the comments. its back to school tomorrow after two days off coz of the snow but just two days and then its the weekend! x

let your anger rise and we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn




it keeps raining and i wanna be caught in a moment like this but weirdly it never happens! like in films and theyre running in the rain coz love is stronger than anything.


okay im back to reality! (back to reality oh there goes gravity... thats an eminem lyric that i always sing when i say back to reality. i think its from lose yourself)


so i actually have a reason for writing this post!

i was reading a book questionnaire onlauras blog and i decided to adapt it to make it a music questionnaire so here goes:

(album titles in italics, song titles in bold)

last album i bought:

la rouxs self titled album and deadmau5 with random album title.

i love the deadmau5 album coz its just great to have on in the background. like great chill out music. la rouxs album is just immense. her voice is just beautiful and really powerful.


last album i got in the post:

i never order albums online coz its just to organized for me. i always buy albums as a sort of spur of the moment thing. theres something to do before im 16, buy an album online!


the first album ive listened to over and over:

im not sure what it was maybe snow patrol eyes open. yeah it probably was that. what a great album. thatsmy winter album. i always get really into it in the winter and then in the summer i just dont listen to it at all. i just has this snugly feel. does that make sense?!! its hard to explain a feeling but yes my review of the album: its snugly!


music everyone should listen to:

i think muse changed the way i listen to music so their music should pretty much be compulsory to listen to! maybe also eminem for his lyrics. its weird coz ive grown up with his music since i was like 8 or 9 ive been so into his music! i dont think i really appreciated his lyrics then, i just liked his music and his voice. even his voice though is offensive!


best place to listen to music:

i like having music on all the time but when i really want to listen to an album properly then ill curl up in bed and listen. it can always get a bit annoying listening to music with friends coz we all have such different tastes.
i was thinking about it the other day and i realised im so different to all my friends so i told one of my friends this and she was like 'rebecca no ones like you!' charming!


an album i just bought for the cover:

i never really randomly buy an album like i always only buy an album from an artist which i know loads about and really love the music so ive never bought an album for the cover but i do love the sams town cover.


scariest music ive ever heard:

hmm. im not sure about this. i like scary gothic music so it doesnt really scare me but i think bones by the killers could be quite scary . i was watching the music video with my cousin and she was like 'what the hell is this?!' i had to change it coz she just found it so weird but i love it! its one of the cleverest music videos(in my opinion!) check out my post about it here.


most romantic song:

i think it would have to be look after you by the fray just because of the gorgeous clana music video on youtube. i you type in 'clana look after you' then youll find it. i never even knew about smallvillle until i watched that and really smallville is just crap but that video is beautiful. also sweet disposition is beautiful (by the temper trap).


music that changed my life:

all music changes my life in some way but as i mentioned before it would have to be muse.


albums ive re listened to the most:

umm it would have to be eyes open or maybe hot fuss by the killers.


music i like that no one else seems to:

i always like those 2nd singles that everyone else hates. artists always come out with their 1st single and im like this is crap and then i hear the second single and im like GENIUS!
this happened with spaceman by the killers and i love robbie willians second single although ive forgotten the name but i can tell everyone doesnt like it!

music i dont like that everyone else seems to:
i think it would have to be stuff like basshunter and cascada. i just hate it! im not really big into N-DUBZ or the sort of RnB that jay sean does. i think a song has to have at least one of these things to be good:
  1. an interesting melody
  2. a beautiful voice singing
  3. amazing lyrics

in my opinion muse do all three in almost any song they make but things like basshunter are just dreadful coz the lyrics are dreadful, the melody (if u could call it that) is boring as hell and basshunters voice is pretty average so i just find the music boring and mildly irritating.

can i just say that i like a lot of music. i like to listen to a massive range of music so there are actually only a small amount of artists that i really dont like because if i had to write a list of music i love it would be way way longer than the list of music i dont like!

number of albums i own:

i dunno. not as many as i would like but i never have enough money to buy albums so something like florences album i love, but i dont actually have the album i just listen to it on the internet.

must have music accessory:

that would have to be ears! and an open heart to absorb the music and let it move you and change you and teach you weird and wonderful things.

music destination i want to go to:

im desperate to go to glastonbury oh and i wouldnt mind going to ibiza. its like the capital of club music and im a sucker for a good remix!

top three favourite artists:

im gonna answer this question as top three artists i listen to most coz my top three artists change by the hour like now its chase and status, nirvana and muse!

  1. the killers
  2. florence and the machine

i cant think of a third one. it could be muse or la roux or pink or so many other artists so its my top two artists i listen to the most!

the reason i started a music blog:

once i started reading blogs i wanted to make one and since everyone has a fashion blog and at the time i didnt know any other music blogs so instead of writing about my fashion inspirations i decided to write about music although fashion sometimes creeps its way into my posts!

so that it from me with my longest post i think ever! this is longer than my coursework! have a great day x

Oh baby dont cry tonight because your tears they will bleed







im totally obsessed with black and white! just so beautiful and classic! so BIG news! WOOHHOOH i cut my hair off! well its like a long bob but for me its cutting it all off! i just washed it and it was so quick, like my hair had NO knots! there was nothing to wash! so i love it! it looks like the first picture but without a fringe! im really annoyed i cant post a picture of it but i dont have a camera but i was speaking to my friend and she said i can borrow hers so when i get round to it you will get to see my beautiful face! school was so much fun today coz everyone was SO shocked about my hair so it was lots of fun shocking everyone! i look alot my mum now but thats not a bad thing coz shes very beautiful (although i am a bit biased!)
so a few random thoughts
1. lovin the name leighton at the moment. id never really thought about it but now its like on my top 5 names list (i dont actually have a list but you get my point!)
2. lost prophets song its not the end of the world is so great. they really make the best songs to sing along to at the moment.
3. on the nick grimshaw, he has been playing his record of the week called secret lover by private (the egyptain lover remix) and its really grown on me. its so sleazy, the kind of song you feel the need to shower after and normally i HATE these sort of songs with a passion but this song is So sleazy that it ends up being not so sleazy, just sort of funny! its hard to explain but check it out.
4. please venus by the golden silvers. just a very pretty quirky song.
5. sweet dispition by temper trap. is this song in 500 days of summer? it sounds so familiar. im sure its in a film. please leave a comment if you know and btw its a beautiful song. definately my latest music obsession.

so i think thats about it and sorry ive not been posting as much i just have soo much work! school is just crazy at the moment!thanx for all the lovely comments. they really mean a lot to me. have an amazing weekend! x
