Music Crush #16

It's Music Crush time!

I debated over what song to choose for a little while and then I decided I had to choose the one song that has been stuck in my head for the last week. So stuck I've been walking around work singing it to myself - I did get some weird looks, before you ask!

What is the song that's been on repeat on your head, you ask?

Take Me To Church

I have no clue what it is about this song that has had it whirring around my head, maybe it's the strong beat or the powerful voice. I don't know. But I do know I've memorised all the words and the tune is constantly playing in my little brain. 

At first I wasn't sure if I actually liked it or if it was one of those annoying songs that plants itself in your head and you just can't get rid of it no matter how hard you try, but I've actually rather grown to like it and now love it.

It's unique. Or at least I think it is. I don't know any other songs that sound like it. Nor do I know any singer with a similar voice.

It's become my new music obsession whatever the case.

Have a listen and see what you think for yourself!

Music Crush #14

Another week, another Music Crush!

As always, my brain went through a million songs and couldn't decide which one it liked best but, eventually, I've gone for a bit of a chart-topper this week.

(I've also just realised this is the first Music Crush of December - it should have been a Christmas song!)

Taylor Swift

~~~

Blank Space

Now, I'm pretty sure it's a rite of passage that everyone should like at least one Taylor Swift song in their lifetime, whether you hate yourself for it or not, i.e. my best friend and her feelings about loving We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.

I actually don't mind Taylor Swift's music the majority of the time - I loved Shake It Off and now I'm loving Blank Space so I can hardly say I dislike her music. I'm just not the biggest fan of her... And I hate the fact that she's against Spotify and music streaming so much; I'm a student, I can't afford to buy her album and if I can't listen to it on Spotify then I guess I won't be listening to it all. I bought Blank Space on iTunes but only because I was hearing it everywhere and it was bugging me not being able to listen to it but that doesn't mean I'm going to buy her whole album (I won't just in principle, because I'm stubborn like that!). I'm pretty sure that she doesn't need the money, so she should just be happy that she gets to live such an amazing life and people are enjoying her music, but hey ho - there's my little rant over, promise!

Back to the song; it's soooo good. I don't know what it is that I love so much about the tune but there's something there that's just damn catchy. Obviously I love the lyrics too (I hear you all saying "Shut up, Katie", you know). 

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames

That's definitely one (or two actually) of my favourite lines from the song because it's so true about a lot of things in life, especially relationships but not just them. 

So here's the video, which is pretty weird but cool at the same time... if that's possible?

Music Crush #3

Hello!

A new week, a new Music Crush!

This week, I'm completely and utterly in love with...

5 Seconds Of Summer

~~~

Don't Stop

It's so catchy! As soon as it comes on all I want to do is dance around the room and sing along... Okay, never mind want, I do dance around the room and sing. I pray for anyone who is in hearing distance because I'm definitely not the best of singers!

5 Seconds Of Summer sure can sing though! I've loved them for a heck of a long time but their music just keeps maturing and getting better every song they release! I can't wait for their new album to be released; it's going to be amazing.

What song are you loving the most this week?
