Soundtrack of the Week // 21st January.

The Cure / Lady Gaga.
Okay so, I've not really been a fan of Lady Gaga since her 2nd album which means I haven't listened to any of her more recent stuff until I heard this track the other day. I absolutely love it, I wanna be honest and say it's because I feel it's different to her other stuff but whatever the reason, it's a great track and I've easily listened to it a bunch of times since I heard it so obviously, I'm gonna recommend you go listen to it although you probably have because I'm clearly behind on great Lady Gaga tracks.

Sunshine Riptide / Fall Out Boy.
Picking one track off of the new Fall Out Boy album wasn't the easiest, but I will say that this track was my favourite after the first few listens so it makes sense to include this one, this week. The whole album is absolutely amazing though, I highly recommend it.

Lockdown / LINES.
If you followed my Weekly Playlist Update, I may have possibly recommended another LINES song called "You" and now we're back with another. It's their new track and it's great. It does feel a bit more slower than "You" but it's still just as good and I'd say that they are a band to watch.

All tracks have been added to the playlist so make sure to go check it out and if you have any recommendations for me, leave them below!

Soundtrack of the Week // 14th January.

Soundtrack of the Week is the new and improved version of the Weekly Playlist Update that I did last year. That has been retired, the playlist unfortunately deleted but we're starting fresh with a brand new playlist and a better way of doing it.

Each week, there will be a selection of new songs that were, as you can probably guess, the soundtrack of my week. They could be new releases, they could be classics and they can be anything in between. All lovely shared with you and collected in a playlist for your listening pleasure.

Let's get this first week of Soundtrack of the Week started!

Don't Need It Now / Le Boom

I recently discovered Le Boom on Spotify through their Hot New Bands playlist and I'm glad I did. Described as a DIY-electro-dance duo, you can expect just that from this track. 

What We Do / Le Boom

Okay, so I know the other track is also by Le Boom but when I discover something I love, I have to check out their other tracks and this one is just as great as the other. Check both out, now. 

Wilson (Expensive Mistakes) / Fall Out Boy

The new track off of their new album, which is out tomorrow and I'm super excited for it. Fall Out Boy have yet to disappoint with me any of their albums or tracks released and from the singles released so far, I think this one is going to be just as amazing as their previous stuff. It' great to see a band grow over time, create new sounds and still remain as fantastic as before.

The line "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker colour" is a beautifully emo lyric that just teleports me back to early Fall Out Boy so even if the style has changed slightly, you know the lyrics are still as Fall Out Boy as before.

I don't wanna be alone on New Years Eve

Title Lyrics: New Years Eve by Pale Waves

In case you weren't aware, we've entered a New Year. Something that most people around the world celebrate, sending the old year off and bringing in the new year with a bang. Unlike me, who was fast asleep until the fireworks started.

Having plans for New Years was something that I always wanted to have, because everyone else was doing something and it's a reason to celebrate, I didn't want to be left out. As I've gotten older though, I've realised that it isn't the worst thing in the world to have a nice night in with those close to you to celebrate the New Year. Even if you just want to sleep through it, that's totally fine as well. Who wants to start the New Year feeling rough anyway?

I've also realised that the New Year isn't an excuse to start doing something you want to do, even though I have been terrible for thinking the New Year is the chance to do something I've been putting off, that it's going to be my year, etc. If you want something enough then you should go for it and make it happen regardless of what time of the year it is. Every year is your year if you make it so.

So, with those things in mind, I'm going to make sure that I celebrate the future New Years the way that appeals to me the most. Whether that's drinking with friends or snuggling up with a good movie and most importantly, I'm going to remember I don't need to want for anytime of year to go after what I want - something that I'm really trying to drill into my head because it's the number one thing holding me back.. hopefully it won't be for much longer.

See you next time! 

      

HELLO 2018!

It's been a while but I'm back!

After maintaining this blog for longer than I have with any other blog, I disappeared. Oops! Life got a little in the way and then it was the holidays so unfortunately, I just didn't have the time or motivation to continue but I'm back!

I'm back and it's hopefully going to be better than before. I've made a few tweaks. All new headers, a new colour theme but most importantly, new posts and a new schedule for me. I realised last time that the one I had set myself was a bit too much, I don't want to take the fun out of doing this with a set schedule. So, I'll continue to post weekly but the days and what I'll be posting will vary.

You can still expect to see posts about music and movies, with tweaks to make it a little bit better but there will also be more posts about me, my life and my experiences. Maybe also some completely random posts but if I'm enjoying it, that's what matters right? Hopefully whoever is reading this will enjoy it too!

So, stick with me through this new year of blogging and let's see what this new year holds!

Happy New Year, everyone!
