Hello You Lovely Lot!

This months playlist is the biggest one I’ve had in a few months so without further ado…

People Help The People – Birdy – Birdy

Birdy was on some TV programme the other week and so to try and show Dad what other songs she had I played him this one and I was instantly hooked again. This is just such a beautiful song and it’s incredible that a girl around my age can sing like Birdy can and sometimes I struggle to get out of bed in the morning.

Favourite Lyric : ‘If you’re homesick, give me your hand and I’ll hold it’

I Love Me – Thank You – Meghan Trainor

I did a whole other review on Meghan’s album so if you want to hear what I really thought of this song you can read that here! Just know that I love it a lot

R U Crazy/Labs Swing Version - R U Crazy/Labs Swing Version – Conor Maynard

I love the beginning of the full version of R U Crazy and ever since I saw it I’ve thought ‘I wish it would carry on all jazzy like that and I’VE FOUND A VERSION THAT DOES! This is so amazing I couldn’t stop listening to it for weeks

Favourite Lyric : ‘Yeah, I’m with the fellas’

Hair ft Sean Paul – Hair – Little Mix

Now, I love this song and when I heard Sean Paul was going to be on the single I wasn’t sure how to feel just because I’ve never been the biggest fan of him but I am OBSESSED. I feel like I’m listening to a whole new song and it’s really just brought the whole song to a whole new level. Also the video is INSANE I love it.

Favourite Lyric : ‘Gotta bleach him out, peroxide on him’

Cake By The Ocean – SWAAY – DNCE

I knew that Joe Jonas had a new band but I had no idea that this was by that band! I heard it on an advert first I think and I loved it so I found it on Spotify and for a while I just played it over and over again. It’s your typical pop song I think, which I obviously love.

Favourite Lyric : ‘Red Velvet, Vanilla, Chocolate in my life. Funfetti, Amoretti, I need it every night’

She Falls Asleep / Part 2 – Wonderland – McFly

As some of you will know I’m seeing McFly next month (although I’ve had a right fiasco with the tickets which I may or may not write a whole new blog post about) and so I decided I needed to just remind myself of my favourites so I can get even more excited. This is possibly my second favourite McFly song (after ‘The Heart Never Lies’ OF COURSE). I think it’s just so beautiful and I am so excited to hear it live, probably gonna cry (deffo gonna cry)

Favourite Lyric : ‘She’s hurting bad and lying very still, on the floor, by the door but it’s lucky she was hoping that you would come back for more’

Teenage Dirtbag – Summer – Frank Hamilton & Wheatus

As I write this, I am seeing Busted tomorrow and last month I had the original version of Teenage Dirtbag on my playlist but this month Spotify recommended this version. I like Frank Hamilton anyway so when I found out he had a version of this I went crazy. It’s a lovely slow version with like a xylophone and guitars, all very pretty.

Favourite Lyric : ‘He lives on my block. He drives and I rock’

You’re Such A – HAIZ – Hailee Steinfeld

I think Natalie has been telling me about Hailee for some time but it was another Spotify recommendation that lead me to this song and instantly I loved it. I found it just before I came back to Liverpool after Easter and I pretty much listened to it the whole train journey. It is SO catchy and the lyrics are just so funny and clever. Still obsessed.

Favourite Lyric : ‘You can take your lies to your next girlfriend cause I don’t wanna hear it anymore’

Love Myself – Love Myself – Haille Steinfeld

I found this after finding ‘You’re Such A’ and it’s the only other one that I was instantly hooked on. With music, if I don’t like the first ten seconds I won’t bother listening anymore and this one grabbed me. It also has the best message ever!

Favourite Lyric : ‘I’m gonna put my body first and love me so hard till it hurts’

Mom ft Kelli Trainor – Thank You

This is another one that is on the album review but all I’ll say here is that I love the phone call. Makes me cry every time!

Don’t Go Alone – Don’t Go Alone – Bry

I was on YouTube one day and my YouTube was just doing tht thing where it plays a video it thinks you’ll like next and as I was listening to some doddleoddle this came on. I like a lot of Bry’s stuff so I knew it was him straight away but I just think this song is SO good and my favourite song of his ever. It’s so beautiful and I have yet to kind of work out what it’s about (apart from the fact it’s about a guy and Bry doesn’t want the girl to go alone, that’s all I have.

Favourite Lyric : ‘I’ll never know if I could have saved you, if it was my place to hold you back, hold you back, hold you back, hold you back’

Used To Love You – This Is What The Truth Feels Like – Gwen Stefani

I heard this when I watched James Cordon and Gwen Stefani’s Carpool Kareoke and I loved it straight away. I don’t know what draws me to it so much but I just think it is the most beautiful song ever and as soon as I heard it I had to try and find it on Spotify. Well done Gwen, talk about a comeback.

Favourite Lyric : ‘I don’t know why I cry but I think it’s cause I remember for the first time since I hated you, that I used to love you’

Me Too – Thank You – Meghan Trainor – Thank You

Another amazing song from Meghans new album. Definitely one of ym favourites and you can also read about it in my new review of her album!

Go Do – Go – Jónsi

I feel like this is such a random sing to have in my favourites but it’s on my ‘faves’ playlist on Spotify that I was going through one day and I found it again. I originally found it on Tyler Oakley’s ‘Tyler Oakley Takes Over England’ video. It just makes me feel so inspired and so positive, there’s something weird about it!

Favourite Lyric : ‘We should always know that we can do anything’

A-Punk – Vampire Weekend – Vampire Weekend

I have never been a Vampire Weekend fan although saying that I’ve never really listened to them. However, I guarantee you will know this song if you like them or not. It’s one of those songs that’s used on TV all the time. It was used in a Facebook video that I saw recently and it took me ages to find it because it was a vide of a dog playing it (don’t judge me it was a great video). I think it’s just such a summery song!

Favourite Lyric : ‘But the other half’s at the bottom of the sea’

I Was Here – 4 – Beyoncé

I remembered that this song existed because there was a thing on twitter where people were naming the best and worst songs from certain albums and I think this is the best song from this album. It’s possibly my favourite Beyoncé song ever too.

Favourite Lyric : ‘That I made a difference and this world will see’

Shooting The Moon – Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky // Extra Nice Edition – OK Go

I was on Skype to Amy when all of sudden I ended up searching for the New Moon soundtrack and I found this. I used to have New Moon on my laptop and it was one of the only films that I did have so I would watch it again and again and it got to the point where I knew it nearly word for word. I fell in love with the soundtrack and I still love it now. This is one of the best songs on there, hence why it deserves it’s place here.

Favourite Lyric : ‘Champagne in plastic cups’

Champagne Problems – Thank You – Meghan Trainor

Yep, you guess it. You can read my review of the album to find out how I really feel about this song but if you want to hear one think just know that this is such a good song!

Woman Up – Thank You – Meghan Trainor

I am obsessed with this song and yet again you need to head over to the review! There’s no point in me talking about it in two different blog posts is there?!

This Is What You Came For – This Is What You Came For – Calvin Harris & Rihanna

I first heard this song because Conor Maynard did a cover of it and I loved it. The only bit I didn’t’ like was the rap towards the end so eventually I found this version and I have listened to this like 100 times since then. I don’t normally go for music like this either which makes me question why I like it but I jus think it’s incredible.

Favourite Lyric : ‘Lightning strikes every time she moves’

Animal – Habits – Neon Trees

This is a song that I first heard when it was on Glee and for years I never bothered to look into who it was actually by. However, I think recently it was on an advert or something? So I found it and it just reminds me of a few years ago when I was completely in love with it. I still know all the words…

Favourite Lyric : ‘Take a bite of my heart tonight’

So there you have it guys! My playlist of songs that I have loved this month!

Thanks For Reading!
