Thirty Days of Music (in one)

People on facebook are doing this 30 day song challenge thing and so I decided to do it but, as we all know, I am shit and doing things with any sort of consistancy. Therefore I will be doing all of it in one go! woot!

I'll give youtube links to the songs but I can't get hyperlinks to work so... dang.

day 01 - your favorite song: The World's Still Ending but it's Cool - Blue Skies.

day 02 - your least favorite song: Thao with The Get Down Stay Down - When We Swam. I don't know why, I just hate this song.

day 03 - a song that makes you happy: CANDYPOP - Heatsdales Feat. SOUL'd Out . Always makes me happy. So does the video.

day 04 - a song that makes you sad: This one was a toss up so I've gone for two. Both songs have made me cry, one I wrote about in my last blog so I wanted to give a new one but I thought they bothe deserved a mention.
Alaska - Blue Skies
Dinosaur - Kisschasy

day 05 - a song that reminds you of someone: Bad Romance - Lady Gaga. From a whole night singing this song loudly and badly with Alex. In the fort. That I made. When I was 15.

day 06 - a song that reminds you of somewhere: I'm on a Boat - The Lonely Island. Camp this year in the mounrtains. I don't know the exact location but it was pretty. We altered it to be "I'm on a Horse"... horse riding camp.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avaSdC0QOUM

day 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event: Where's Margo - Hank Green. Reminds me of eating pepermint slice on the poppet head in the wind. Then getting into the video :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MKbMWOBlWA

day 08 - a song that you know all the words to: I know all the words to a lot of songs, I'm good with lyrics, but one that I'm really proud of is Nape of the Neck - Miku Hatsune (はすつねみく)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNrBkQoc_-U
... but I don't sing it near japanese people.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8WpxgDh5Rs

day 12 - a song from a band you hate: Only Girl (in the world) - Rihanna. No words decribe how much I hate it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa14VNsdSYM&feature=artistob&playnext=1&list=TLBH-l-2ZM05k

day 13 - a song that is a guilty pleasure: If you could read my mind - Stars on 54

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lwvPFk77l8

day 14 - a song that no one would expect you to love: Pricetag - Jessie J Feat. B.o.B. My sister kept playing this until I liked it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lwvPFk77l8

day 15 - a song that describes you: Happy Medium - Julia Nunes. I dunno really, I just relate to this song and the whole happy medium thing. Good song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFfvrY2hk7o
... someone filmed her singing it so it's not perfect but it's still good.

day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate: Accio Deathly Hallows - Hank Green. I don't so much hate it as I've just listened to it too many times. I skip it on my ipod.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvvFiZyEyTA

day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio: Snoop Dogg - Sweat (David Guetta Remix). I only listen to the radio in the car but this is on the radio soooooo often.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnEXrbAQyIo

day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio: Don't unplug me - ALL CAPS. Coz really, how awesome would that be?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_51Hs56wW4

day 19 - a song from your favorite album: Chemical Love - Charlie McDonnell. His album is lovely. Also I don't have a lot of albums.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAigCKiqYvw

day 20 - a song that you listen to when you’re angry: The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - False Pretense. I listen to it at other times too but it's a good angry song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiCZdvQXULE

day 21 - a song that you listen to when you’re happy: Saskia Hamilton - Ben Folds and Nick Hornby.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JP5lUN_4Eo

day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad: Butterfly in the Breeze - Eddplant. It's kind of pessimistic so when I'm sad I listen to it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDIND1F7FR8
... starts about 1:40

day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding: In the Shadows - The Rasumus. Love this song. Inside jokes from yr7 FTW!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ao2u7F_Qzg

day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral: Once more with feeling - Blue Skies cover (Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly). So pretty.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzOcC1kKwXQ

day 25 - a song that makes you laugh: Fever for the Flava - Hot Action Cop. Hilarity at it's best.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAURo0rwt6g

day 26 - a song that you can play on an instrument: Hot Cross Buns.

day 27 - a song that you wish you could play: July - Ryan Seiler. Recent adition to my music but I love it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_HJgvmEYJM

day 28 - a song that makes you feel guilty: Just A Little Girl - Trading Yesterday. There's a line in this song that says "You could never understand the demons that I've faced." I feel like I can't help my friends when they need(or needed) me because I just can't understand. So I feel guilty for being so ever-happy andd ever-optimistic. :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aWqx6cmIrs

day 29 - a song from your childhood: From Little Things Big Things Grow - Paul Kelly. My dad always used to sing it to me and change the words to "From little Stephs big Stephs grow".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tHEGo-g3mw

day 30 - your favorite song at this time last year: Talking Bird - Death Cab for Cutie. I had the demo from one of their EPs I bought. It's just nice.

Dinosaurs

I am such a weak sook sometimes. This song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Qs5Wgp4Qw makes me cry every time I hear it. Without fail. I don't even have a reason to be crying. I think it's just coz I really like dinosaurs but awwwwww.

So, yeah, just been crying because of it. I love it anyway.


I'll think of something else to make this interesting...


nope. I've got nothing can't you see me baby :P
