January - Song of the Month

Posting my current "favorite" song helps me remember what I've been listening on repeat. :D
And since I haven't done this for a while, I'll post 4 awesome songs I've been jamming out to lately!

Song of the Month:

Major Lazer - All My Love (feat. Ariana Grande)


I'm not really sure why I like this song...I think my favorite part of the song is the beginning when she sings, "Sometimes, I think we're the brightest stars, and I try to believe we'll find a way.." and the bridge is pretty sweet as well. If you're looking for a good song to jump to, I recommend this one. Gotta love the laser-y noises..?

Above &Beyond - Quieter Is Louder


One day, I went on iTunes Radio's First Play playlist! I actually clicked it on accident, but then I hear this song. Very soothing and relaxing!!! If you need to study or hate silence, perfect song right here!

Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do 


From the original movie soundtrack of Fifty Shades of Grey. Yes, there are some inappropriate parts to the song and video, but let's be mature about this. The song is beautiful and I get it...All duh feels, the mood it sets when you're with your loved one.. All of that.. :3 This video was also well done. It flows with the movie scenes and transitions well. Ellie's dance moves were elegant and you get that fancy feel to the video. Oh. Did I mention that ELLIE GOULDING IS AMAZING? :O I think that's a given though heheh

Calvin Harris - Outside (feat. Ellie Goulding)



Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding always make a good team! "I Need Your Love" was a smashing hit and they're doing it again! "Outside" has been getting a lot more airplay and it makes me so happy! It's climbing up the Billboard Hot 100's chart! Just the melody to this song! I love the rhythm and beat that goes with it, as well as Ellie's voice. Calvin's album, "Motion" has been out since October, but Calvin has been releasing singles slowly. I also really love "Blame (feat. John Newman)"! There's the that autumn feel to it and it's got some awesome beats to it.

So it's been two years since I posted, huh

Time is honestly going by too quickly. WHAT IS HAPPENINGGG!! OAO
Hi no one....! Pretty sure no one reads my post but I write a blog anyway... Just in case I need this site one day... I have one. I noticed my banner disappeared...whoops.. I should probably make a new one and fix up this site before I show someone haha

Well it's a New Year!!! Hiiii 2015! It's been great so far! Some updates.. I just had my 5th American Grands performance yesterday! I went with a date for the first time!! My boyfriend! I must admit, he's the best boyfriend ever. I can't tell you guys (no one lolol) how amazing he is. He's so kind, caring, smart, and maybe he worries too much about me, but that's okay because that's when you know they really love ya. ;)


Some other interesting things that happened in my life lately... I'm in a band now! In November 2014, my friends and I formed a band for our school variety show. It was pretty crazy...Here's the story...Basically my crazy friend (or brother..) Nathan played the song "I Wouldn't Mind" by: He Is We and I said, "Heeeey, I know this song!" and he said, "oh my god! we should do this for the v-show!" and let's not forget that auditions was in two days... >_< So there was a lot of stress going on! Nathan composed a violin part to the song for the girl he likes and now dating, Sarah~!  The amazing violinist in our band hehe. Sarah learned the song in one or two runs! I don't think I could ever do that.
The only time we had to rehearse was during lunch or after school... During lunch, we went into a practice room and guess who we found there? SHARON~!!! An amazing artist, cellist, and pianist! She was practicing piano and I just blurted, "Heeey Sharon...YOU SHOULD PLAY PIANO FOR OUR SONG!!!!" and so she did. She learned it in a few hours, played some chords and bam. mastered. So we auditioned 2 days later and WE GOT IN!

After all that, we found out our good friend, John, is a drummer! But unfortunately, it was too late to add a band member to the variety show, but it's okay! He's still in the band and we're doing great!

We call ourselves... The Elucidators


There's definitely a lot more that has went on, but it's 12AM now, and I should sleep.. school tomorrow!!! Sigh. :(
