Day 15 – A Song That Describes You
Haha, this was a hard one to choose, so in the end I had to choose two songs… The first was Meredith Brook’s BITCH the second of which was a rather comical, and current one, you can check it out here as I don’t particularly want to go too in depth with it 😛
Day 16 – A Song You Used To Love… But Now Hate
Now this song, I fell in love with instantly… but then, it used to ALWAYS come up in my shuffle playlists, so much so I get extremely pissed off and have taken to skipping it entirely now. I’ve yet to decide to delete it, I don’t think I’ll ever get to that stage, but PLEASE iPod, just give me a break!!! Brett Dennen – Heaven
Day 17 – A Song You Hear Often On The Radio
I love it, so it’s not so much a chore to hear it… at the moment. However, it may just become a #16 (as above) if I keep hearing it… Post Break Up Sex – The Vaccines
Day 18 – A Song You Wish You Heard On The Radio
This song happens to have been one of iTunes’ Singles of the Week. If you’ve not yet tried it out, I highly advise it… I’ve enjoyed each of them so far, for different reasons, and they’re free! Lauren Pritchard – When The Night Kills The Day
Day 19 – A Song From Your Favourite Album
It’s surprising that this isn’t a Killer’s song, considering I love them sooooo much. Instead, the following album is possibly equally as good. Plus, he’s kinda hot and I love the name… Fyfe Dangerfield – She’s Always a Woman, from the Faster Than The Setting Sun album. I think I might prefer this cover to the Billy Joel version too… :S
Day 20 – A Song You Listen To When Angry
NOTHING can beat a bit of angry socio-political, punk-rock, and my Deutsch forefathers certainly got it spot on with this one. Nena – 99Luftballons
Day 21 – A Song You Listen To When Happy
Gosh. A tough one. I suppose the hardest part about it was trying to recall a time I was happy before I started listening to my music. It might sound strange but I use music as an aid to make me happy, not so much when I’m already content.. How emo-ish does that sound? One song that makes me remarkably happy at the moment comes from Glee, something I’ve surprisingly not covered much of in this challenge. Strange, considering I am the worlds largest Gleek EVER! Teenage Dream – Glee (Cover)
Day 22 – A Song You Listen To When Sad
As described above, all of my music generally 😛 However, cast back to when I left home for university and one song features ever so highly. It’s the song mother and I listened to together, in sync. Feelin’ Good – Joe Bonamassa
Day 23 – A Song You Want Played At Your Wedding
Oh gosh! Anyone subscribed to my spotify will be aware that I have an entire playlist dedicated to songs for a first dance at my wedding 😛 There are two clear favourites, but one of them I have decided would suit more in the ceremony and the other for the dance at the reception. For the ceremony: White Diamond – Kylie and for the reception: As Long As You’re Mine – Wicked (The Original Broadway Cast) Got to love Idina Menzel 🙂
Day 24 – A Song That You Want To Play At Your Funeral
Oh how grievously morbid! What’s worse, is I already have that decided upon…
When my great-grandfather passed, there was one song that mother and I both decided we shall have played at our funerals as a way to remember him, the way he lived his life, and the bizarre way in which we found out of his passing. Great-Granddad Rick (what I knew him as, Rick was short for Rickward, the family surname) was a strong and lively character, and it was indeed this that ended up killing him when he collapsed whilst on a holiday in America that my grandfather had advised him not to go on. Despite Granddad’s advise, Great-Granddad Rick went anyway and ended up collapsing half-way up a lighthouse in New York as he tried to run to the top. Now, no-one back home on the Isle of Man knew this for a long while, but mother and I both knew that something was up when we left the house at approximately the same time as Granddad Rick would have collapsed singing this song as it had just been on the radio in the house and we both love the artist. Once in the car and switching on a different radio station, we found the same song to be playing in sync with where the song was up to on the previous station. Changing it once more to a third station, it was also the same song, in the same place… Granddad Rick, missing you. Jon Bon Jovi – It’s My Life
The second song I would like to have played at my funeral is a bit of a fun one 😀 Frank Turner – Long Live The Queen 😛
6 more to go… to be continued 🙂
