What You Know~ Two Door Cinema Club

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXwYJyrKK5A
This is another song I really love. In fact I love the sound of this band. they are pretty distinctive. This song reminds me of summer for some reason and that is no bad thing on a chilly February evening!
I gave in to the urge to buy some more bulbs for my garden. I am starting to see signs of spring and this makes me happy. Listening to this band can lead me to believe summer is just around the corner!

Babyshambles~ Delivery

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79Y-EHqZNQA

I love songs written by Pete Doherty. I really like this one. Each song he writes tell a story and that is what makes his songs so believable.
Some of the songs I like the best aren't necessarily happy. I think if a song can truly convey an emotion to other people. to mean something to them, they have succeeded.

Billy Idol~ White Wedding

I must admit to loving this song! I bought it as a 12" when it came out and I remember I was in town with my friends and must have left it on the bench right in the middle of the town.  I rushed back as soon as I realised what had happened and to my delight it was still there. Lucky for me the people clearly weren't Billy Idol fans, either that or they were very honest!

Libertines ~ What Katie Did

I think Pete Doherty is a fantastic song writer.
I particularly like this song. It is very sweet.

Since you said goodbye
The polka dots fill my eye
and I don't know why.

...beautiful!

White Sky~Vampire Weekend

I completely love Vampire Weekend and this song, in particular. Their songs make me think of sun  and when I hear them I want to dance!
I have just watched 'The Voice' and saw some people arrive a step closer towards their dreams while others may have felt rejected as nobody turned their chair for them and offered them a place on the music show.
I realise that if you wish to follow your dream, you cannot give up when you hit the hurdles.
If you want it enough you will find a way to keep going.
I find musicians inspiring. They offer us so much of themselves and their work connects with us like nothing else can.

That's Entertainment~The Jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-H0uIH5HHQ
This is one of my favourite ever songs. Apparently Paul Weller came back from a night out and wrote it in a few minutes.
The words are powerful.
I really liked The Jam. In my opinion,this was their best song of all!

Lou Reed~ Vicious

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIdc0NGumVc

I love this song! Lou reed was such a good singer. This song stands out for me.
I think I was quite a moody teenager and spent many hours lying on my bed playing the same records again and again!

I love the lyric:
Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
oh baby, you're so vicious!
