Currently fave Music artists

Ahh music. Music is one of those things that lets you escape into a world that is all yours. Over the years i have listened to all different kinds of music. I really enjoy most music. unless its those rap songs that just talk about drugs, sex, money and that constantly curse  (sorry!). But for me, a person coping with anxiety disorder, music can help me or break me. I cant really explain it because its more of psychological thing but if i listen to too sad songs i get really anxious. Maybe its me but i usually try to avoid listening to those songs on those particular days.

But anyways, I have currently been listing to The Lumineers, Mumford and Sons, Of Monsters and Men, Marina and the Diamonds, and The Head and the Heart. I have also been liking, get ready for this, thrift shop by Macklemore. Yes i know just say it, but honestly its a fun and easy song that just gets stuck into your head!

The Lumineers are just awesome. Like most people, i found out about them when i saw their video for Ho Hey over the summer. After that i got onto itunes and i bought the album, The Lumineers. I love all of their songs and i cant wait until they put out another album. Favorite songs:
  • Flowers in Your Hair
  • Dead Sea
  • Ho Hey
  • Big Parade
  • Stubborn Love
  • Charlie Boy
         

I have been listening to Mumford and Sons for a while now and my love for them has not faltered. I absolutely LOVE the first album, Sigh No More. At first i thought that they were a bunch of sad songs but over the time i have grown to worship these songs, what a dork. Their second album, Babel, is also great but i haven't "gotten use to" the songs yet. My all time fav songs (in no particular order) are :
  • Awake My Soul
  • Broken Crown
  • The Cave
  • I Will Wait
  • Roll Away Your Stone
  • White Blank Page
  • Sigh No More
  • Thistle & Weeds
       

I really like Of Monsters and Men's songs cause most are uplifting and the beat really appeals to me. They only have one album currently out (for now I hope) called My Head is an Animal. The album is great, once you start listening the beat will get to you and you just want more. I really hope that they put out another album because it will soon be a year since they released their album :( Anyways my favorite songs are:
  • Dirty Paws
  • King and Lionheart
  • Little Talks
  • Six Weeks
     

Marina and the Diamonds is something else. Her songs are mostly upbeat and Pop. She has been around for a while but i recently discovered her over the summer on YouTube (what would i do without YouTube?!). I only have to favorite songs of hers, for now, from her second album, Electra Heart. Her voice sounds a bit like Katy perry and a little tiny bit of lady gaga? I'm not sure but her voice is awesome and girls will love her songs. My favorite songs:
  • Primadonna
  • How to be a Heartbreaker
   

Those are mostly my favorites right now but i definitely listen to all different types of songs. If you have similar interest and want to talk about music don't be shy to leave a comment!

Beginnings are hard.

It takes a whole lot of courage to start something. Well at least for me.
I decided to start a blog because I needed to occupy my mind with something. I have noticed that a lot of people have blogs now, and some say that it "comforts" them. I need this in my life so i said "What the heck, i might at least try." So here i am, writing this horrible excuse for a post. I'm still not sure if i will be able to stick to this because i forget things easily. But i promised myself that i will and i believe i will.

Thinking through what I'm getting myself into, there are sooo many things going through my head.
1. What will i write about?
2. Will people even care to read anything?
3. Will i just be someone who writes a blog for an audience of just one person?

I have to remind myself to push those thoughts away and just have fun with it. So what if no one reads what i have to say? At least I'm putting it out there for me. I have to let go of my constant doubts and believe in myself.

So if you're reading this, bear with me on this journey of mine. Hopefully my thoughts can grab someones attention and if there is someone out there that likes to help newbies, just picture me with a big flashing arrow right by my face.
