Tune In Tuesday [15]: Of Monsters & Men

A weekly feature hosted by GReads that showcases music.
It was thanks to this lovely feature that I found this spectacular band! So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU KATE FROM KATE'S TALE OF BOOKS AND BANDS! Click here to read her Tune In Tuesday post :)

And because she's already featured Yellow Light, King & Lionheart, Love Love Love, Little Talks, Here are some of my other favourites.
Dirty Paws

Jumping up and down the floor,
My head is an animal.
And once there was an animal,
It had a son that mowed the lawn.
The son was an ok guy,
They had a pet dragonfly.
The dragonfly it ran away,
But it came back with a story to say.

Her dirty paws and furry coat,

She ran down the forest slope.
The forest of talking trees,
They used to sing about the birds and the bees.
The bees had declared a war,
The sky wasn't be enough for them all.
The birds, they got help from below,
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow.

And for a while things were cold,

They were scared down in their holes.
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines.
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men.
And that's how the story goes,
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.
Six Weeks

Slow, slow me down,
Her blood, on my bones.
Let go, lay to rest.

We fall, we fall, we fall,

We fall to the ground.

Sleep, sleep all night

While the young, they wait alone.
Get up, shake the rust.
We crawl, we crawl, we crawl,
We crawl on the ground.

Alone, I fight these animals.

Alone, until I get home.

A wolf, wolf and I,

We share the same cold meal.
I float on, float on down .
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.

Coming back, I'm coming back.

She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home.
Link me your Tune In Tuesdays :D

Tune In Tuesday [9]: Feel Good Songs

A weekly feature hosted by GReads that showcases music.
What is up with me and mainstream music these days? Honestly! Feel So Close and now this!

I think it's the clubbing type songs that really get me going. That make me want to jump all day and night and never stop for a breath. So many good memories come with these. Dynamite will always be a favourite - the anthem of my 2010 social - and Tik Tok - graduation.

But these Wild One and Ass Back Home make me feel... pretty. Okay, maybe it's because I'm having a good hair day and it's being awesomely wavy and soft, but, you cannot deny the urge to dance when you hear these!

Wild One - Flo Rida ft. Sia

Ass Back Home - Gym Class Heroes ft. Neon Hitch
 

So what are your feel good songs? What gets you up and jumping?

Tune In Tuesday [6]: Hot Chelle Rae

A weekly feature hosted by GReads that showcases music.
This week I'm featuring Hot Chelle Rae because I SAW THEM LIVE TWO DAYS AGOOOOO ASDLJKHSDKSLDFJHDSKLLKJHA!!! 

And LOOK LOOK LOOK:
 That's right! Signed by each and every band member! Ryan Follese, Ian Keaggy, Jamie Follese, & Nash Overstreet! I couldn't stop shaking when I was up on stage with them... The conversation went something like this:
Me: YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
Them: *looks up* thank you. 
Me to Ryan: I LOVE YOUR TATTOO!
Ryan: oh *laughs* thanks! 
*Ian hands me the CD*
Me: THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
It was a free concert in a shopping centre (40 minutes drive away from home!) and you could get autographs if you bought the CD. I filmed this (quite badly) and as you can see, I'm behind a lot of cameras... Basically I was on the very left hand side in the middle section and people kept pushing, *sigh*.
Honestly (Acoustic)

Lyrics: 
Honestly why are my clothes out on the street?
Honestly, I think you've lost your mind
I can't believe I came home to find my car keyed
And honestly I'm way too tired to fight

Round and round drama every time

Ima go cause I got no problem with saying goodbye
Is it wrong that I'm gonna be having the time of my life
Cause deep down I know
I should cry I should scream and get down on my knees
I should say that I need you here but I'm gonna party tonight
Cause honestly I just don't care
Honestly I just don't care

Honestly everybodys stoaked I'm finally free
honestly my phone's blowing up tonight

I'll go out get drunk again
Make out with all your dumb friends
Tag your face just to rub it in

Ima go cause I got no problem with saying goodbye
Is it wrong that I'm gonna be having the time of my life
Cause deep down I know
I should cry I should scream and get down on my knees
I should say that I need you here but I'm gonna party tonight
Cause honestly I just don't care
Honestly I just don't care

Ohhhh
Don't roll up when they're playing my song
Don't act right when you know you're dead wrong
You're out of line, out of line tonight

Well I'm undercover, you can drop that bomb
It's a little too late cause I'm already gone
I'm already gone

Honestly you did it to yourself
So don't blame me

Ima go cause I got no problem with saying goodbye
Is it wrong that I'm gonna be having the time of my life
Cause deep down I know
I should cry I should scream and get down on my knees
I should say that I need you here but I'm gonna party tonight

Ima go cause I got no problem with saying goodbye
Is it wrong that I'm gonna be having the time of my life
Cause deep down I know
I should cry I should scream and get down on my knees
I should say that I need you here but I'm gonna party tonight
Cause honestly I just don't care
Honestly I just don't care
Honestly I just don't care
Honestly I just don't, I just don't, I just don't
Honestly I just don't care 
Ryan Follese
Nash Overstreet
Jamie Follese

Tune In Tuesday [4]: Safetysuit

A weekly feature hosted by GReads that showcases music. 
I absolutely adore Safetysuit (I know Ginger does too from her twitter ;D)! I discovered them in the strangest way. I was youtubing SYTYCD dances two years ago when I came across a contemporary number to Find A Way by Safetysuit. The funny thing is, they didn't actually dance to the song, someone just decided to play it over the original! I can't find it anymore though, sigh...

So there's not really a single song of theirs I don't like. My most played is Gone Away at 457 plays. It's such a sad song and still brings tears to my eyes occasionally, but I can't ever get enough of it♥

Anyways, that's all on the old album. Onto the NEW album!

Words cannot explain how much I love this right now! I've been listening to this for three days straight, and probably will for the next month.. Song of the moment? You Don't See Me. I listen to Staring At It all day at school (over 100 plays), and occasionally Stranger. 

Believe was my song for The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. Every time I hear it now, I think of that awesome book!

What I absolutely love about Safetysuit is that every time I listen to them, I feel this strange urge to create. Their early album, I wrote a bajillion meaningless stories, and These Times, I'm drawing and drawing, and still drawing! It's crazy! I feel so inspired :)

And, watch this: 
DOUG LOOKS SO CUTE!!!♥♥♥

All their songs are worth checking out, so just take a few minutes and search them up! :)

Tune in Tuesday [1]

A weekly feature hosted by GReads that showcases music.
Other than reading and writing, I find myself very passionate about music. I go through phases where I obsess over bands and songs, and frankly, continuously tweeting about them is not enough!
So, thank you Ginger!

First song of the year goes to~
Title: Motions
Artist: This Love
Genre: Rock

I've got Motions on repeat all day (and occasionally I switch it back to repeat all on the album "At War") There's not one song of This Love's that I do not love. This Love is so definitely underrated. I hate that I can't simply type their name in Google and have them turn up on the first page (although that may also be their completely mainstream name). "At War" is a politically themed album, and let me tell you, it puts so much emotion and feel into their music. The guitar solos throughout this album are quite eargasmic. Joe McFaddin makes me want to sing along and stand by his side to join the war. His voice is utterly exhilarating, even live.

Other songs to listen to by This Love: We Are The Brave, Alive, & Shootout
