Hello!

Well, Birdy has gone and done it again.

Every so often I feel there's like a sudden burst of great music released into the world. Obviously, this isn't the case and music is released in no particular order, but right now it definitely feels like there's been that burst! Additionally, you haven't seen a Music Monday for a while on BBXO (Read: Summer Playlist), so this post comes at a good time for us!

Playlist TOP 3: The Script, Pitch Perfect 2, Imagine Dragons | MUSIC

Hello!

source, source, source
 "Every time I hear 'Daemons', it takes me somewhere else. Every. Single. Time."

Music is a way to escape, and it totally has the power to lift your mood (dance party in your room, anyone?). Although I have to admit that One Direction have the power, there are also other artist that have released some pretty good songs recently that you need to hear. Actually, one of them is not-so recent, but it's still a good one!

Do you remember the song 'Man Who Can't be Moved'? I was obsessed with it, and after hearing this song on The Voice, I was sold. Bought to you by The Script, it's 'Man on a Wire'. Okay, the title sounds similar to the previous hit single they had, but it's a great song! 

You may have heard the news that Pitch Perfect 2 is coming out very soon. I remember watching Pitch Perfect 1 - it was snowing outside and we got sent home early from school, so I came home, put on some snuggly clothes and fluffy socks (you got to have the fluffy socks) and played the movie. Totally a feel-good movie, an aspect I'm hoping will also be in the sequel! 

Jessie J's song is from the movie, and it's made me even more excited to see it.

This is the 'old but good' song I mentioned earlier. Every time I hear 'Daemons', it takes me somewhere else. Every. Single. Time.

That's my top 3 - any recommendations? I have been looking for something like Daemons for a while, so if you know any good songs like that, it'd be great if you let me know!

Music of the Moment

Hello!

Right now certain songs have literally been on repeat for hours on my iTunes - so, of course you had to hear them! Although it hasn't been far too long that you've seen a playlist type of post on BerryBloomXO, yet I couldn't resist!

1. Say Something - Christina Aguilera, A Great Big World

This song was covered by this years US X Factor winners, Alex & Sierra, which is where I first heard it. A couple of weeks later I came across the song on YouTube and had it on replay for about 2 hours straight! For the record, I am still not sick of it! A song that will never get old and a must listen to!

2.  If - Luke Conard

Another YouTube find, Luke Conard is a YouTube musician and this is one of the many great songs he has on his channel. If you watch the Music Video, you'll see it's not just another 'boyfriend/girlfriend' song, but about another special lady in his life. It's so lovely and again I can listen to it on repeat (but not quite as much as 'Say Something'! Haha!).

3. What Now - Rihanna

She's back. RiRi has been off my playlists for a while now but this song has bought her back! I feel she has evolved to a different perspective again and this song is definitely one you could fall in love with. At first I thought it was a little iffy, but it has definitely grown on me!

That's it! My fav songs of the moment!
Are you as addicted to 'Say Something' as I am, or is something else on repeat for you?

Music Favourites of Now

Hello!

Music is the pathway to our soul. Okay, I totally just made that up but music CAN lift our spirits and make us feel good, therefore we live a great, happy life! Music therapy has been used for years to enhance mood. So, listening to music is great! I thought I'd share with you some songs that I have recently downloaded or been listening to a lot:

1. Hey Brother - Avicii

I loved 'Wake Me Up' by Avicii and this newer song is great too!

2. The Monster - Eminem ft. Rihanna 

Can Rihanna ever sing a bad song? Remember 'Love the Way You Lie' by them too? Oh and Shakira and Rihanna are set to release a song too, cannot wait!

3. Let Me Go - Gary Barlow

After watching The X Factor when Gary Barlow and Sir Elton John did a collaboration, I thought that Gary Barlows' song is really good!

Thats my top three! What is your favourite song of now?! Leave a comment!
