30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 16)

Day 16: A song that you used to love, but now hate.

It took me a bit to find the original version to this song... You Me At Six. I watched them in 2009 in High Wycombe, I loved them - which I realise now is lame but hey. Anyways they got majorly famous. If I wanted to go and see them now, rather than pay 6£ I'd have to pay 30£ ish... amazing what 2/3 years will do for you. Anyway, here's 'Save It For The Bedroom.'

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 15)

Day 15: A song that describes you..

I'm asking for help from my brother and sister for this so bare with me for the results of this...

They picked, well Sam picked... 'I don't wanna be,' by Gavin DeGraw AkA the One Tree Hill theme tune :)

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 14)

Day 14: A song that no one would expect you to love.

This is a song from a while ago, but I love to listen to with my brother, and have a little dance around... and attempt to sing along :)

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 13)

** Today's song finally!! **

Day 13: A song that is a guilty pleasure.

Considering the variety I have on my Ipod it's hard to choose a guilty pleasure, so I've decided to look through what's on my home computer to find a gem. I'm going to go with Daniel Bedingfield. Lame stuff I know, but hey! 'If You're Not The One.'

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 12)

** I'll try and keep up to date after today! **

Day 12: A song from a band you hate.

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 11)

** Sorry this is late... again! **

Day 11: A song from your favourite band.

Currently I haven't got a favourite band,I'll grab the Ipod and have a browse....
Okay, so I'm going with Alter Bridge, they aren't my all time favourite, but they are one of the most played bands on my Ipod. As for song choice, I'm going with 'Watch Your Words,' I often sing this on my way to campus :)

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 10.)

Day 10: A song that makes you fall asleep.

This is easy, mainly because I have an entire 'sleepy times' play list on my Ipod, but also because I've blogged this song before... It's The Swell Season's 'The Moon,' from the Dear John soundtrack. I love love love this song. I fall asleep to it most nights. ♥

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 9)

Day 9: A song you can dance to.

Okay, so I'm not really the clubby/dancing kind of person. This topic kind of sucks really if I'm honest. I'm going to blag it with some KEY dollar sign HA... aka Ke$ha. Here's 'Take it off.' I love having a little dance to this song, especially after a shower in my towel :) GOOD TIMES! :)


30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 8.)

Day 8: A song you know all the words to.

P.S. Sorry this one's late... I've been oober busy.

This is an easy one.... 'Down with the sickness' by Disturbed.
^.^ ♥

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 7)

Day 7: A song that reminds you of a certain event.

I know it was only last night, but it was such a great evening.. Food && music - was beautiful. Levi Roots is pretty awesome. So here's his song from when he first entered the Dragon's Den.... 'Reggae Reggae Sauce.'

Dear God,

I wish things were different.


Please?

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 6)

Day 6: A song that reminds you of somewhere.

I'm so stuck with what to choose, also where to choose? I have so many great memories, and to sieve through them all for just one is hard. I think I'm going to go with something that Tracy used to sing almost EVERY time we got into her car, it was quite fun, and I'm sure she'd sing-a-long to it even now. Cher's 'Life After Love.' It wasn't just in the car, it was when she was cleaning as well... This song just reminds me of my childhood at Tracy's something I wasn't very grateful of then but now I cherish every memory.

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 5)

Day 5: A song that reminds you of someone.

I'm going with Stone Sour's 'Hesitate.' I love this song so damn much, I love the lyrics, the music, and the vocals. Every time it plays it reminds me of, well... It doesn't matter anymore I guess. But still...
The memory is there.

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 4)

Day 4: A song that makes you sad.

I'm struggling with this one..
I honestly don't know what song to put, I'm searching through my Ipod trying to pick one. There are a few Good Charlotte songs that come to mind, and in fact as I write this I'm listening to 'Say Anything,' which is really getting to me. I think that out of all of the ones that upset me, or get to me - I'll put this one up:



Good Charlotte, with 'The Truth' - I love this song, and it makes me feel really low, but I love the lyrics; however repetitive and annoying they may be. This song means a lot to me.

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 3)

Day 3: A song that makes you happy.

I'm choosing Buckcherry's 'Crazy Bitch.'
No song makes me happier than this song! It always reminds me of when I was listening to it full blast, and my landlords wife comes in just at the chorus!
GOOD TIMES!

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 2)

Day 2: Your least favourite song.

Wiz Khalifa - 'Black And Yellow.'
Dear Lord, this song is ridiculous! I hate hate hate it, how can anyone stand it? I find it truly irritating and to be honest there is no talent here AT ALL.

30 Day Song Challenge. (Day 1)

My friends have started doing this on facebook, but I thought rather than aid my facebook addiction, I'll show my songs on here. So, here we go then.

Day 1: Your favourite song.

Right now it's Adele's 'Someone like you.'
Now, I know I've posted this song on here before, but it is a truly beautiful song. She is such a talented girl, to capture the emotions that anyone anywhere in the world can relate to. I'm sure that everyone has been through something like this at some point in their life. Adele has managed to put it into words, into this beautiful song - I will always love this song.


Facebook.

I believe is slowly ruining me.

I'm fed up of everything taking up time in my life, I really feel like I've been neglecting my own art practise. All the time is going on studio work and other modules - I don't think I've drawn something that I want to for a good few weeks. Which is actually very upsetting, and needs to change. I think I'm going to spend my evening tonight chilling out to music and drawing, that - in my head - sounds lovely.

Oh, and someone posted this little ray of sunshine on facebook, and actually it's really beautiful:

Shoot for the moon,
because if you miss,
you'll hit the stars.

♥Love.Art.Theory.


Pretty beautiful really isn't it?
I'm not the biggest Johnny Cash fan, but this is lovely.

I apologise for the neglect, I have been really busy, what with deadlines and the like. The work load is really piling up at the moment, and it's taking a lot to keep on top of it. Although to be honest I have done a fair amount of my to-do list. I will conquer that bad boy by the end of this week!
To aid my art theory lectures I bought some arty/philosophical books yesterday, and I'm very excited for when they arrive! Here's what I purchased:



I also got the three critiques of Immanuel Kant; The Critique of Pure Reason, The Critique of Practical Reason and The Critique of Judgement. Cannot wait to get my bookworm on and read through all these little fellows, maybe then I'll understand art theory a little better. Pretty sure I should have done this in my first year, or even at the beginning of the second, but hey! Better late than never!!

If only...

I'd read the books that other kids did, maybe it would have given me the correct vocabulary and writing abilities that they all seemed to have. If only I'd learnt to appreciate myself for who I am, rather than forever hate myself, forever put myself down. Maybe then would I be able to write my careers assignments.
I cannot bring myself to write my positives.
I don't see what I have that a potential employer would want from me.

I'm pretty sure I'm pissing everyone off by getting so pissed off at something that, to them is something so simple. I can see that they're just getting annoyed with me, at my constant complaints about not being able to write 2/3 sentences on myself. I know it's ridiculous, but I'm finding this so difficult - I wish I didn't, but I guess that's what happens when you hide behind false smiles for the entirety of your childhood.
I'm aware that I'm 20, almost 21 years old, and should have been able to get over past events; but I haven't okay. Judge me all you want - I get it.

Please just try to see it from my perspective.

It's like....

dropping your most treasured item out into the sea.
From this single action you ruthlessly bestow upon yourself the blame.
You regret everything you didn't do..


and you think to yourself that..






you could have saved it.♥

Dear Lord.

Why can't things ever be simple.
Life is currently a revolving door - one of which keeps slapping me in the face.

Here's me writing down the things I really should stand up and say.
I'll simply write person 1, person 2 etc.
Person 1:
'Say you want to stay, you want me too, say you'll never die, you'll always haunt me. I want to know I belong to you. Say you'll haunt me.'

Person 2:
Sort yourself out!
I'm not going to be there every time something goes wrong in your life, in fact I'm pretty sure I'm going to just walk away next time! Things are getting harder for me, and I need time to sort myself out, get my head straight. It's nothing you've done wrong, it's just there's only so much I can take. I've got to give myself some time, for all the things I've had to deal with. Please just understand, I can't always be there for you.

Person 3:
I'm lost. At an end.
I'm pretty sure I'm about ready to give up, not just on my course, my uni life... but myself as well. It's like I've lost the light in my life that I'd only just got back. I thought I was doing well, I really did. I seems my heart feels otherwise. I just don't see the point anymore. I guess what I'm saying is that, I think I need your help. I'm slipping away, and I don't think I've got enough to hold on to.


Gosh, I could write to everyone on here.

Beethoven. ♥

Recently I've needed music to fall asleep to; so I have put together a play list for myself. At the moment it mainly consists of; Beethoven, Pachelbel, Dear John soundtrack, Adele, Newton Faulkner, Norah Jones, Maroon 5 and a few others. I do believe it's an hour long, which to be honest is too long - I've been listening to the Dear John soundtrack (a lot!) and I fall asleep by the 4Th song; terrible really.

I have so much that I want to say, but I can't seem to write the words down... Not quite sure why though, as I usually have no problem with writing my feelings and stuff on this blog. I'm starting to hide again. I don't know if that's a good idea, but for some reason I can't help it. Pretty sure that someone will comment on it, no one leaves me to sort myself out these days, which I don't have a problem with. It's just there are times when saying nothing (for me at least) is the best thing to do.


Just so you know, you're breaking me.
Slowly, but surely you're tearing me apart.

Old music.

It surprised me when I came across this song, I've just put a vast amount of my old music onto my Ipod. This song is old, and I haven't listened to McFly since year 12, so that makes it 3 years old?
Oh my.



P.s: I'm not an idiot, please stop laughing at me behind my back, man up - laugh at me to my face. Then you'll see how little you actually mean to me.

Surprise.

I don't want to fall...

if there's no one to catch me. ♥


Certain songs are really getting to my heart. I am starting to wonder why? There isn't a clear answer why they should be effecting me like this, but they are. Goddamn.

I am in love with this song.



My goodness.
This song is beautiful, and I do believe Adele's voice is truly amazing, also she happens to be a pretty awesome songwriter. These lyrics are beautiful.
