bet shes delighted when she sees him, pulling in and giving her the eye, because she must be fucking freezing scantily clad beneath the clear blue sky



so im back from prague! had such a great time! its really the last time i was with my whole class like forever now coz next year im gonna be in a new school, a whole new class... anyway just had so much fun running around the hotel at 3am and touring around getting a great tan! went to some really beautiful places and just saw so many other tour groups. lots of fit guys!
anyway back to music. i havent really been listening to music for the past few days coz i dont have a ipod (i hate having earphones in my ears and not being able to hear whats going on around me) and there was no radio in the hotel but as soon as i came back i straight away turned on my radio! i came back at like 1am and i never normally listen to radio at that sort of time but there was some great stuff on. just some genius remixes of great songs. so this morning on the radio, the presenter was like 'and next up some eminem an the killers.' i was so excited coz eminem and the killers and probably my two favourite artists so heard not afraid by eminem and when you were young by the killers. later on they played when the sun goes down by arctic monkeys (title lyrics from there). i used to be obsessed with that song and id forgotten how good it is.
so have a great weekend. im gonna be doing lots of shopping this weekend for france! primark here i come! x

love is a fucked up way to live but its the only way i know. love feels like home, its where i belong



i think i got these from stockholm street style but i cant remember. anyway i just love them especially the first one. love the effect used.
okay a few random things to talk about. is it wierd to write lyrics that you dont agree with like this title lyric. i like it as a title lyric but im not sure if its true..
i try not to write lyrics coz i cant write happy things so i end up writing and getting really depressed! im having a bit of deja vu at the moment. writing again like i used to. it was really watching this interview with eminem that got me writing again. he was talking about where he gets inspiration from and something in me clicked (not literally) and i just wanted to write.
also having deja vu about the music im listening to. i was just listening to some stuff from the killers fourth album with was really my summer album last year and changing my blog title picture. i havent done that since last summer!
so hope your all doing okay and speak soon 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

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

youve been acting awful tough lately, smoking a lot of cigarettes lately, but inside youre just a little baby

i saved the picture above under the name 'tattooed beautiful boy with cig looking beautiful and lost' and i saved the guy underneath under the name 'smoking shirtless beauty'. i think that says it all!
can we just talk about how genius i am to find this lyric?! how well does it go with the photos?!! i was just listening to marina and the diamonds and i heard these lyrics in her beautiful song i am not a robot and theyre just perfect for the gorgeous photos.
i dont normally like male models but i do have a folder of the male models i think are just damn right beautiful and these two are just amazing. i dunno what it, maybe the tattoos or the beautiful 'broken but dont give a shit' look. does that make sense?!

okay lets talk music:

im still totally obsessed with glee. its just immense and just makes me smile so much! just writing about it gets me excited!! oh im a sad old soul!

im currently listening to the skream remix of in for the kill by la roux. its all dubstep and beautiful. oh i love it!

other bands im loving are the virgins, the drums and this morning i heard mr brightside by the killers on the radio: it was an epic moment singing along with a hairbrush while halfway through getting dressed so i was wearing my school shirt with my pj bottoms and my hair in one big curly mess! theres something amazing about hearing a song you love on the radio even if you have the album so could listen to it at any time. its those first few notes, the big adrenaline rush, is it weird i get adrenaline rushes from the killers and not from roller coasters (i hate roller coasters with a passion)?
sorry im so bad with writing posts. i try and keep up with all your blogs but i dont really have that much time to write. i was writing my english AS coursework with my friend and just coming up with total examiners porn (explanation: writing an essay that is so beautifully written and quoting all the right quotes if i dont get a good mark for this essay HEADS WILL ROLL!) For my essay im analysing an article from Grazia which is just wonderfully written and even has a reference to Florence (yes THE Florence from florence and the machine)
so it is time to leave you beautiful people once again. im going to london on monday on a school history trip just for one night but i cant wait to tell you all about it! 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

save some face, you know youve only got one..




so rage is at no. 1!! i couldn't listen on sunday night but i was listening to the radio on monday morning and they said that rage against the machine is no. 1 and i just so excited coz i was hoping they would do it but deep down i knew joe would get it and by next year we would all forget the rage thing. well thankfully i was very wrong! killing in the name is just such an amazing song and compared to joes song, i mean joes song is just boring and doesnt even deserve to be in the top 10 but thats another story! im so excited about rage being at no. 1 im finishing every sentence with an exclamation mark! okay im stopping.
i have finally broken up from school although i am now supposed to get to some hard-core learning which is btw never gonna happen but we have been told this holiday should be treated as study leave and not a holiday. WTF?
my sister is at my dads in london so i have the computer to myself so forget hard-core learning, im gonna be doing hard-core blogging btw my form teacher did not use the actual words 'hard-core learning' shes like 60 although it would have been really funny if she would have!!
my current playlist is look after you by the fray, run by snowpatrol, i cant stay by the killers and ghosts and stuff by deadmau5. its a bit weird but it feels right for the winter. the snow just isnt stopping, it just reminds me of when we went in the winter to scotland and we would get stuck in all kinds of stuff like one day we were stuck in this snow blizzard, it was just crazy!
im waiting for the postman to resume coz i have a dvd that should be here by now but they haven't come for the past two days, its nick and noras infinite playlist and i cant wait to tell you about it when i finally get it!
okay im gonna leave you now coz run has just come on and i need to sing along! x

do you want the truth or something beautiful? just close your eyes and make believe...





i dunno whats inspiring me to use these pictures today. probably the cold. its snowing! it started on thursday and right now im looking out the window and big snowflakes are falling. theres something beautiful about snow falling but because its manchester and all good things have to come to an end, the snow will turn to slush by tomorrow or worse it will all freeze and the road will just turn into an ice rink. thats what happened last year and i was slipping and sliding to school!
so the title lyrics are from paloma faith. she did do you want the truth live for radio 1. check it out here. its really beautiful stuff and she does sound amazing live. also her outfit is so cool!
also florence did a cover of last christmas which is just immense last year and you can hear it until christmas but only if your in the uk so definitely check it out here if you can! i love florence! i think i should change the blog name to I LOVE FLORENCE!
loving all your comments at the moment and i will try and be better at checking at all your amazing blogs. i love the holidays although i wont really be relaxing since ive got exams in janurary but at least i can get some kind of lie in instead of waking up at 7:3o every morning. its such a killer in the winter which reminds me im currently loving the killers first album hot fuss. its so experimental and interesting and brandons voice is just so beautiful.
have a lovely day 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

he looked just like youd want him to some kind of slick chrome american prince




i went to town today and watched new moon finally and wow! it reminded me of when i read the book, which was around the time twilight came out, and i cried so much when i was reading new moon and it was really the same with the film except not as bad! the film had more jokes in so i wasnt crying as much but it was really funny coz i was crying in exactly the same bits as i cried in the book! but me and my friend bought some chocolate so that definitely helped. and i made sure to take out my tissues before the film and i didnt wear any make up! i was well prepared!
so these pictures are of paloma faith who is just so beautiful with such a gorgeous figure. she also has an immense voice!
i was reading an article in the daily telegraph and the journalist was saying that music nowadays is not about just a great voice, its about owning the song making it your own. its about putting on a performance because truth be told people dont listen to songs if they are crap but the artist has a great voice. its about having the whole package. like billy joel really had a big influence in the music world because he was really a poet with a dreadful voice but people bought (and still buy) his music because of the melodies and the lyrics. im very into lyrics so this definitely makes a lot of sense to me.
at the moment im loving sidney samson, chapel club and bombay bicycle club (i had a dream about them but thats a whole other story!)
i was in h & m today and i cant stay by the killers came on and i got so excited coz its a song from their fourth album that hasnt been released as a single in the uk but i love it. its my favourite song on the album hence the killers title lyrics (theyre from a dustland fairytale)
so have a good night x

Tuesday, 10 November 2009

nobody ever had a dream round here but I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me




i dont talk about them enough but the killers are really such a massive part of my life. i know every song of every album, ive loved their music for about 6 or 7 years which really is a long time to like a band when youre only a teenager. i was speaking to my friend and even though we are the top of the school, i still feel like tiny! so back to the killers, i think 'my' song from all their albums has to be bones because it just reminds me of me! i can so relate to it coz im so bony but its more than the lyrics, its the way it starts i mean that beginning still gives me an adrenaline rush! its such a distinctive song that could never be compared to any other song. its so unique and so exciting and has such character. its also dramatic and does what i always do, just break out into song! im like a musical that doesnt stop! but i only sing like a line of a song and its usually off key so not really like a musical! the music video has everyone turning into skeletons and is just one of their best music videos, check it out here. if you wanna buy one of their albums definitely buy hot fuss, their first album, coz its so fresh and beautiful and impossible to describe!
so people i have news! okay its not dead exciting but i am going to london tomorrow for a long weekend just to shop! i only decided to go on sunday coz i wanted to go shopping but im fed up town in manchester so im going to london to go to oxford street (and to visit my dad and cousins). i sound so shallow minded! oh well people can judge me but im just gonna go and have fun! so i will be back on sunday and i wont be blogging when im there so sorry for not checking out your blogs but i really need to pack! lovin the view and the xx at the moment. have a good night x

Sunday, 1 November 2009

yeah but his bird thinks its amazing though, so all thats left is the proof that loves not only blind but deaf


























this is all the weird and wonderful music i loved when i was younger. some of it i completely refuse to listen to now its so crap but some of it i still love!
as ive got older ive totally fallen in love with indie english music and dubstep. i love good lyrics, a beautiful voice and an amazing melody. all songs i like have at least one of those and really when i was younger i just liked anything with a beat and a few slow songs.
just wanted to talk random obsessions. im totally and utterly head over heels in love with the name leighton meester. i like her as a person but her name! id die for that name! im also obsessed with socks, that was subtle, the colour red, english tea and scottish accents.
love to know youre random obsessions and the music you loved when you were younger. have a good night and sleep well x

in your eyes i see the eyes of somebody i knew before, long long long ago but im still trying to make my mind up am i free or am i tied up?





these pictures are of:

1. miike snow. there isnt much pictures of them and the mainly use their logo thing ( picture no. 4) so people know who they are. they have such amazing lyrics and some new ideas about music and how to play their beautiful melodies. the first single from these guys was animal which has some sick remixes! the next songle was black and blue which has such clever lyrics and they said its basically about boredom so its my kind of music! their new single is gonna be sylvia which is a really beautiful song. its much more slow than the first two but equally amazing. the live version is beautiful.
2. just had to have a florence picture in the post! i know ive used the picture before but tht was like two months ago and none of you remember, do you? legendary album. ive talked way too much about her on this blog! just check out some old posts!
3. even though the killers are the only music i really play in my cd player, i never really talk about that much. ive loved the killers since they first started in about 2003. me and my sister were obsessed with somebody told me! we always used to sing that! good memories! when i was younger i used to like the killers, eminem, keane, coldplay, britney, black eyed peas and kylie! i still like most of them but not in the same way. when i was younger id just hear a song i liked and listen to it over and over. i didnt care about the voice or the lyrics or about the band. i used to listen to music just for musics sake! that doesnt even make sense but you get what i mean!
so i love you guys and sorry for not checking out your blogs recently. ive just been very busy. i know its really a rubbish excuse! anyway have a great weekend x
