My love for.. (Music)


My love for music.

I guess I should try and explain my love for music. 
I've always grown up with music- But it's never gotten me through as much these last few years.
The first real band I got into and loved was a band named 'Yellow card', I was seriously addicted to their song "With you Around".
I thought it was heaven to my ears mixed with cheeky smiles and summer days. It still feels like this. I was silly back then though- I made my favourite song an 'our song' with a friend of mine, who I don't speak with anymore, so it's not as enjoyable.
After that I was into soft music, like Joe Brooks & Backseat Goodbye, that I felt could help me through bad times and broken-ness. Now I know what really helps. Songs with a meaning. They connect the best.
They make you feel like the writer has been through what you have, and came out stronger.
I had a friend who really liked Sleeping with Sirens, so I gave them a listen and 100% fell involve with guitarist and backup singer Jesse Lawson (..how could I not?!)

Bands like Pierce the Veil, All Time Low and A Day to Remember followed on with that love.
I liked that those rock bands were all best friends with each other..
and that my idols were my idols idols (confusing, eh?)

My favourites song from each of my currents obsessions are;

Sleeping with Sirens-  Stomach Tied in Knots.
Pierce the Veil- A Match Into Water (This got me through a lot.)
All Time Low- Therapy, and also For Baltimore (Alex, the singer sings 'Baltimore' so..perfectly)
A Day To Remember- You Had me at Hello. 
You Me At Six (not mentioned)- Liquid Confidence.
Good Charlotte (not mentioned)- There She Goes.


Give these songs a listen if you're having a tough time, or even check out some of their other stuff for happier moods! I know I do, and they make me feel amazeballs!  Mayday Parade is also an amazing band that helped me through everything and is still totally fun to listen to! I simply couldn't choose a favourite song of theirs. 
And of course, I love One Direction. Moments is my favourite song they sing, like ever.

Hugs, kisses and best wishes,
