Hello You Lovely Lot!

Normally these posts take me ages to write but this ones shorter than th I have been super busy this month so I've hardly updated this playlist, maybe it's because not many songs have caught my attention? Let's get started!

Army - Delirium - Ellie Goulding



I talked all about this in my February Favourites but it just makes me really happy and it's a song I can really sing along with even if nobody else wants to hear it! This was also on last months playlist which just goes to show obsessed I am.

Favourite Lyric : '16 and you never even judged me'

Bitter Sweet Symphony - Urban Hymns - The Verve 


I forgot all about this song till i was listening to a playlist on Spotify and I fell in love all over gain! My Dad loves this song too which without a doubt is the reason I love it too! It's just such a classic and one of those songs that even if you don't know it, you know the tune.

Favourite Lyric : 16, and you never

The Sound - I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it - The 1975


Why did they have to make their album name so long, huh?! My friend Amy first played this to me and I was obsessed for a few weeks so I put it on here! I never really liked The 1975 too much but I wouldn't necessarily turn them off if their music came on, is anyone else like that with certain artists? However, I love this one.

Favourite Lyric : 'What does it matter if I lie to you?'

Boy Without A Car - Wake Up - The Vamps



When I first heard this album i don't think this one jumped out at me particularly but when I was walking around Uni the other day it came in shuffle and so I thought I would give it a chance and whoa, am I glad I did! I think it's maybe one of my favourites on the album now (not that anything will every overtake Cheater because that will always be my jam!

Favourite Lyric : 'I'm wondering how we got this far, I'm just another boy without a car'

Gravity - Talk (Single) - Coldplay


Another one that's on my favourites but possibly my favourite song of the whole month? I love a sad song and I love a ballad and this is all my favourite things about music rolled in to one. How can I not love it?

Call Your Girlfriend - Body Talk - Robyn


I found this on a 00's playlist on spotify and I had just completely forgotten it existed. It's just so catchy and upbeat even thought eh lyrics are not very nice really if you listen to them! I could definitely dance around my room to this!

Favourite Lyric : 'And then tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again'

Geek In The Pink - Mr. A-Z - Jason Mraz


When iTunes used to do that 12 days of Christmas thing where they gave out free things (the good old days) one of the gifts one year was the video for this. Nobody really knew about Jason Mraz at this point since it was before all the classics we know now but I loved this song straight away and have done ever since. The other day I suddenly remembered all about it and put it on. I definitely don't still know all the words...

Favourite Lyric : 'She was staring through the doorframe, eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend. Well she can get her toys out of the draw then'

Hymn For The Weekend - A Head Full Of Dreams - Coldplay



I really got in to this song when the video came out although it used to be my favourite on the album and I used to listen to it all the time! I forgot all about it and then all of a sudden the video appeared and I was back in to it. I think this is just such an amazing song and if it's on the setlist when I see them live I will be more than happy.

Favourite Lyric : 'Then we'll shoot across the sky'

No Words - #3 - The Script


Yet another one in my favourites! This is probably my favourite song by the script and I think the lyrics are just so beautiful. The Script is always a band I can come back to no matter how long it's been since I last listened to them and one day I will see them live!

Favourite Lyric : I honestly can't pick a favourite lyric for this song I just think it's written so beautifully!

Somebody Else - I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it - The 1975


I also spoke about this in my favourites so you can go and see what i have to say about it there but basically I just love this song and I may even be starting to love The 1975 just a little bit..maybe.

Favourite Lyric : 'I took all my things that make sounds, the rest I can do without'

Wrapped Around Your Finger - Don't Stop (Single) - 5 Seconds Of Summer


I'm not going to lie to you all the first time I heard this song was when I saw 5SOS live. I knew it existed before then but I just never got around to listening to it so the other day I made the conscious effort to do so and thank God I did! I love this song as much as I did when I heard it for the first time live! I can't wait to see 5SOS soon and hear this live (hopefully).

Favourite Lyric :'You were mine for a night, I was out of my mind'

So, those are all the songs I've been loving this month! Most of these are old songs that I've rediscovered but those are always the best ones, right?

Hello You Lovely Lot!

This time last year I wrote a blog post all about the top 25 most played songs on my iTunes. So, now it's a year later....I thought I would do it again!

1: Kill The Director - The Wombats (26 plays)


25: Oh My God - The Kaiser Chiefs (22 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - 7TH

I haven't listened to this song in such a long time which is probably why it's slipped all the way down! I got in to The Kaiser Chiefs when I started watching The Voice one year and Ricky was on it so now The Voice is back on, they could move up the list!

Favourite Lyric : 'Knock me down I get right back up again, come back stronger than a powered up pac man'
24: James Franco - Hoodie Allen (22 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

I don't know why this has only just crept on to this playlist because I loved it in like 2013 and I guess I have got back in to it, but I didn't think it would be here!

Favourite Lyric : 'I hate spiderman two, James Franco'

23 : Get Better - Frank Turner (25 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

My Dad got me in to Frank Turner as I'm sure I've told you all many times. Someone accused me of just liking him because Dad does but I think this proves that that's not true. I do love his music when I'm in the right mood!

Favourite Lyric : 'They threw me a whirlwind and I spat back the sea'

22: Runaway - Ed Sheeran (25 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - 22ND

I still love this song quite a lot but it's similar to Hoodie Allen in that I liked it around 2013 so I'm not sure why it's here! One of my favourite songs from Ed's last album though!

Favourite Lyric : 'I love him from the skin of my bones but I don't wanna live in this home'

16: Jet Black Heart - 5 Seconds Of Summer (29 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

This was my favourite song last month even though I wasn't the biggest fan at first. When I saw the video was when I really started to love it. I just think it's beautiful

Favourite Lyric : 'Cause now that I'm broken, and now that you know it'

15: Anti-D - The Wombats (29 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - 5TH

I really love this song and I haven't listened to it in a while which is why it's slipped down so far on the list! Whenever I do listen to it through I really enjoy it and it's definitely one of my favourite song by The Wombats

Favourite Lyric : 'It's hard to smile when you're as flat as a pancake'

14: Wolves - One Direction (29 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

 Their new album came out a few months ago and the fact that some of the songs are already on my playlist really shows something. This one is so catchy and just nothing I'd expect from One Direction.

Favourite Lyric : 'I wish it wasn't true but the whole world's tryna get a piece of you'

13: New Romantics - Taylor Swift (30 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - 4TH

Last summer I was obsessed with this (and the whole album really but this was my favourite). I just think it's so catchy and one I can dance around my room to!

Favourite Lyric : 'Please leave me stranded, it's so romantic'

12: Temporary Fix - One Direction (30 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

Bit more 1D for you all! I love this song I just think it's so gritty and I could listen to it again and again! Plus Harry sounds amazing (as he always does).

Favourite Lyric : 'If you're feeling the weakness, well I told you baby that you can call me'

11: Life Support - Sam Smith (32 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - 6TH

Natalie got me in to this too and although I don't listen to it much anymore I have to admit I still love it. I haven't really listened to the whole of Sam Smith's album, only the odd song but this is one of them and definitely my favourite of the few I've heard!

Favourite Lyric : 'Sick of waking up in darkness, when the sky is always painted blue'

10: Beautiful To Me - Olly Murs (32 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

I started loving this song after the video for it came on and I went through a stage of listening to it quite a bit and I would get emotional every now and then whilst listening to it. Good old Olly.

Favourite Lyric : 'Every day's a battle and it tears her apart'

9: Adventure Of A Lifetime - Coldplay (33 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

I love Coldplays new album so much and although I'm not sure if it's my favourite it appears to be the only one on the playlist! I do love this song however, I think it's such a feel good song!

Favourite Lyric : 'Everything you want's a dream away'

8: The English Summer - The Wombats (35 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

More of The Wombats! I'm surprised that this is further up than the two before because I had liked The Wombats for a while before this album came out but this is such a good album and song!

Favourite Lyric : 'And there's an animal inside of me and he's feeding off every word you say'

7: Greek Tragedy - The Wombats (35 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

Even though this isn't as far up on the list as another song by The Wombats I think it's my favourite. It's the first one I heard because my friend Melissa played it for me so I think it will always hold a special place in my heart!

Favourite Lyric : 'So free up the cheaper seats, here comes a Greek Tradgedy'

6: I Want To Write You A Song - One Direction (35 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

I think this song is so beautiful and probably now one of my favourite One Direction songs! Harry wrote this which makes me wonder what's going on inside his head..

Favourite Lyric : 'Everything I need I get from you, giving back is all I wanna do'

5: Never Enough - One Direction (36 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

I was about to say that I'm surprised that this is so far up but in reality I'm not. I love this song so much and I'm not afraid to admit it. It's so catchy and just makes me feel so happy. I think it's another 'Act My Age' kind of affair

Favourite Lyric : 'I don't need my heart you can break it, break it, break it'

4: Emoticons - The Wombats (38 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

I must of gone through a stage of really loving this considering it's higher up than my all time favourite Wombats song! It is a good song however, I can't deny it that.

Favourite Lyric : 'You need to find a different boys heart to chew'

3: Olivia - One Direction (38 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

Another One Direction song named after girl. When is it my turn? Although I'm not sure that 'Becky' or 'Rebecca' is a good name for a song really. I love this song and have done ever since I first heard it!

Favourite Lyric : 'I love you, I love you, I love, I love, I love Olivia'

2: Cheater - The Vamps (49 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE - NONE

This is another one where I saw the video and fell in love with the song straight away. The video also made me turn from a Brad girl in to a Connor girl. I listened to the song on repeat for weeks, no joke. I daren't listen to it again incase my obsession comes back.

Favourite Lyric : 'His dirty little secrets are banging on his bedroom floor'

1: Perfect - One Direction (50 plays) LAST YEARS PLACE -  NONE

I didn't realise I liked this song so much! I did listen to it for quite a long time after it first came out and I was so glad when i heard it live because the first time I went OTRA it wasn't even out yet! It's never a song I skip when I'm on shuffle and always a song I can dance around to!

Favourite Lyric : 'And if you like cameras flashing every time we go out, and if you're looking for someone to write your breakup songs about, baby I'm perfect'

So there you have it! This changes so much because as you can see sometimes there's hardy anything in it, sometimes songs have the exact same number of plays! Hope you've enjoyed reading this and maybe even found some new songs to love or seen some of your favourites!

Thanks For Reading!

I haven't posted on here in a while...but i'm back (for now)

Beauty / Skincare : 

Nothing really changed in February concerning my makeup...but I am loving my 'Maybeline Dream Touch Blush' blusher! I have the shade 02 and I just can't get enough of it! I've had it for months and i've hardly made a dint in it, it gives me just the right amount of colour and is a lovely consistency, I started off by putting it on wrong so didn't love it too much, but now I have seen the error in my ways.

Music :

Nothing new came out that I've fallen head over heels in love with, but I did discover some older music that I forgot I loved...
