I just love Fall Out Boy. I find Patrick Stump's voice really calming and I like to put in headphones and completely immerse myself in the sound. It's my form of mindfulness.
Somewere only we know is one of my favourite songs too!! I love it a lot. These aren't groups, but I wanted to contribute anyway. My favourite singers are Marina (and the Diamonds, she recently removed this part from her name) and Owl City/Adam Young.
I find that I can relate a lot to a large portion of Marina's songs. The state of dreaming is probably my favourite song from her, but recently I've been listening to The Outsider a lot in particular and really resonating with that. As for Owl City, I feel like his general sound is really satisfying and relaxing for me to listen to and it really brings up my mood, I also really really love his lyrics. Fireflies (despite its rise to meme status) is actually my favourite song ever, followed closely by the state of dreaming and somewhere only we know (and I know very very little about Keane outside of that song). Fireflies was so comforting to me growing up!!
Other than that, I honestly just listen to whatever happens to be stuck in my head, I'm very open when it comes to music. Marina and Owl City are the only two singers I actively follow and listen to consistently at the moment, and I'm very much 'stuck' on them in that they're often the only two things I'll want to listen to. Though that excludes songs from the anime and video games/mobile games that I like, and vocaloid songs. I feel like my music taste is a very odd mix honestly. I also find that when I'm not stuck on Marina and Owl City, I'll really listen to anything as long as I can relate to it in some way.
not seen it? post me a link
What about the cartoon skunk?
Love it... So funny cos c.... not a very nice word.. No matter how bad Im feeling Kev can always make me chuckle.
Ironic that I now have the "Can't say .... in Canada" one. leading to the cartoon skunk PMSL
I like songs with lyrics with a story or meaning. And there are many singer-songwriters who can chuck out a good set of words and a tune, among them Harvey Andrews. Harvey Andrews is from Birmingham but now lives in a village not far from Stafford. He has now all but given up performances but there is a catalogue of his work to listen to.
This song was written in the 1960's, the words say it all, a tale of love in the first world war and I think it is what is not said that makes the song all the more poignant.
Margarita
They're playing our song, Margarita; dance it this last time with me
It won't be long, Margarita; soon I'll be overseas
Let me know that you'll care when I've gone over there
They're playing our song, Margarita; dance it this last time with me
Kiss me again, Margarita, give me a memory of you
They say in France, Margarita, one more push, we'll be through
Yes I'll write, but where from? All they'll say is the Somme
So kiss me again, Margarita, give me a memory of you
It's a new world, Margarita, we'll build, when it's through
In that new world, Margarita, we'll be wed, me and you
My old great-aunt Margarita, she'd been blind thirty years
Would tell me of young Margarita, of her man and her tears
She would say, He was tall, there's his picture on the wall
My old great-aunt Margarita, she'd been blind thirty years
She would ask, Is he smiling? I would stare at the frame
But the sun was there shining through her window again
Where that sun always shone he had faded and gone
But she would ask, Is he smiling? I would say, He's the same
It's a new world, Margarita, we'll build, when it's through
In that new world, Margarita, we'll be wed, me and you
They're playing our song, Margarita; dance it this last time with me
It won't be long, Margarita; soon I'll be overseas
Let me know that you'll care when I've gone over there
They're playing our song, Margarita; dance it this last time with me
Harvey Andrews.
99 red balloons that's a good track.
yea I just listened to that its really say. I couldn't listen to that at the moment.
Oh my god I've seen 'Kevin bloody Wilson' live! and Jenny T. So funny the DILLIGAF song and the I've had a beeeep of a day, also the Christmas ones are funny and Nigel , I'd put a link on here but I don't think it would be appreciated, I sometimes sing that as I walk in the door at night if I've had a bad day my OH wets himself...
Depends entirely on mood...
Shape of You (Major Lazer remix), Feel it Still (Portugal, The man), Lean On (Major Lazer) all at high volume basically 'dissolve' me and help stop shutdowns
Back in Black (ACDC), Ante Up (M.O.P), Bust a Move (Young MC) again, at high volume all 'pump me up' giving me energy
Tea & Toast (Lucy Spraggan), The Tourist (Lucy Spraggan), 99 Red Balloons (Nena) all make me weep, which sometimes I feel like I need to do, but in a way I can 'control' - is that weird?
But generally a very eclectic music taste...
Oh yes, mood dependent I go to the heavier "punk" sounds of Wildhearts, Metallica, Volbeat, etc and other times soft (Thunder, ACDC, Pink Floyd, etc) and even chart stuff (Avicii, Duran Duran, T'Pau, Whitney Houston, etc). For some fun I put on some Kevin "Bloody" Wilson and "Comic Strip Presents" Bad News
I’m into music that I can use to express my emotions and that I can relate to through the lyrics. I listen to NF who has multiple songs that are emotional like how could you leave us.
Radio Gaga thats a good track
