30-DAY SONG CHALLENGE: Day 5

A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF SOMEONE

"She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5. Too many memories. That's it, really.

30-DAY SONG CHALLENGE: Day 4

DAY 4; A SONG THAT MAKES ME SAD

This one was pretty tough, I guess. Lyrics on their own don't generally upset me, so I'm gonna go with association and memories. Run by Snow Patrol holds pretty big memories... mainly 'cause of some ridiculously cute boy playing it as I was walking in the opposite direction. Oh, those were the days! :) Jet Lag by the amazing Frank Turner (I really can't recommend enough that you give this guy a listen if you haven't already) was always my mopey song on the bus from the airport back to Brescia last year, so this just takes me back to feeling lonely and unhappy. Honestly, it's probably one of the few songs that can make me cry instantly. And The Scientist by Coldplay just gets me every. single. time, especially if you watch the video, too.

30-DAY SONG CHALLENGE: Day 3

Day 3; A SONG THAT MAKES ME HAPPY

There are many songs that fall into this category and, for the most part, they have one thing in common: they're Christian. I love How Great Thou Art because, for me, it's God's love for us in a song. Before The Throne of God Above is an amazingly comforting song in all circumstances, too. However, my ultimate favourite has to be Be Thou My Vision. I could listen to it forever and never tire of it. And it's one of the only definite songs that I want at my (hypothetical and very much unplanned) wedding. The lyrics are challenging, but at the same time they're so comforting. :)

30-DAY SONG CHALLENGE: Day 2

DAY 2;

MY LEAST FAVOURITE SONG

I'm sorry Actually, I refuse to apologise for having taste, but I'm not a Belieber. I just think it's ridiculous. He's sixteen, and if he and his fans had a sex change there'd be paedophilic cries. But, no, it's Justin Bieber, it's all totally normal. Pffft. And an autobiography and a 3D film? At sixteen? This guy is really hitting the big time...! What's he got to talk about? The excitement of his voice breaking?

I'm not linking to anything, because I don't want to encourage this ridiculous "phenomenon".

Because I'm pretty awful at blogging...

...I'm going to cheat and do The 30-Day Song Challenge.

DAY1; FAVOURITE SONG.

"Favourite" is such a tough word for me because I have many favourites - depending on what mood I'm in, whether I want to listen to something Christian or secular, mellow or lively or just something downright strange. However, iTunes tells me that my most played track in my library is Awake My Soul by Mumford and Sons. I'd sort of heard bits of some of their more well-known tracks on the radio, but I'd never quite manage to put names to definite tunes. I was wandering around HMV (with The Boyfriend, naturally) and saw their album for £6. And I am definitely the sort of girl who struggles to resist semi-bargainous (yes, yes, I just invented a new word) impulse purchases. This one, however, is not a regret. It's an amazing album and, as such, I've been listening to it pretty much constantly. Plus, they have Jesus-friendly lyrics - makes me smile.

Oh, and obviously, I don't own the linked YouTube video! :)
