I LOVE MUSIC.
When people ask me what my favourite song or band is, I can’t pick. I have favourite songs for favourite times in my life. I have sad songs, happy songs, songs that remind me of university or holidays. Songs that inspire me or songs that just give me warm feelings inside.
So because this is my blog, I can do what I want, I am going to share with you my favourite songs and tell you why I love them. And because I can do with I want because MY BLOG MY RULEZ, I’m not limited to how many songs I can share with you.
So I’m just going to keep going until I get bored or get too drunk to care about blogging.
My Favourite Songs
The Postal Service – Such Great Heights.
This one ALWAYS COMES FIRST. I just love the hell out of this thing. LOVE IT TO THE MOON AND BACK. Postal Service have so many amazing songs, but this was is my favourite by them. This is my all time favourite song.
I also recommend Nothing Better and Clark Gable.
Keaton Henson – Lying to You
I’m not sure if this is my favourite overall of Keaton Henson, but it’s the first song I ever heard of his and I fell in love 100%
Other recommendations from him are: 10AM Gard du North and Sarah Minor.
Konstantine – Something Corporate
Ugh this song is so beautiful. When I was young and emo it totes spoke to me. I learnt this on the piano and I love to play it and get lost in my head.
It’s 9 minutes long but even 10 years later, I get completely lost in it.
Play Radio Play – Decipher Deflections.
Because what do you do when your life is a disaster?
I just love everything about this song. It became one of my favourite songs of all time the second I heard it!
Band of Horses – Evening Kitchen
HI IVE BEEN THIS BAND LIVE.
So many hearts and loves and cries and everything.
Other recommendations: Noone’s Gonna Love You, Factory and Infinite Arms.
Okay, this is the next day.
I guess it didn’t take too long to get too drunk and distracted to care about finishing the post.
I ended up playing 90’s and 00’s pop music, poking my friends on Facebook and Tweeting links to Vengaboys and Spice Girls videos.
Let’s finish this, shall we.
Sail – AWOLNATION.
I’ve been subscribed to Nanalew for years. She often makes videos to songs and one day, she uploaded this one. I was in love with it instantly, both the song and the video.
I showed it to loads of my friends and they loved it too.
A few months later, it started getting attention over here. I always find that weird because in general, nobody even knows the music I like so to hear a song I love in a bar makes me excited. I’ve listened to it a million times and I’m not bored yet!
Interpol – Pioneer to the Falls
Just the lyric ‘you fly straight into my heart’ was enough to make me addicted to this song after the first play.
Anthony and the Johnsons – Cripple and the Starfish
This song is said to be about loads of things, some people think it’s about gender identity, some say sexuality and others say child abuse. I guess you can make the song about many things, whatever it’s true meaning is, it’s beautiful.
Robyn – Konichiwa Bitches
I’m going to end this on a light note, as most of the other songs are pretty emo. This is one of my favourite songs but it’s a bit different from the rest!
I have no idea why I like this song, it’s not the typical type of music I listen to but it makes me happy when I listen to it. It’s just funny.
Whats your favourite song of all time?
I love finding jamming to new music, so thanks! 🙂
Lovely picks, i’ll definitely be giving some of these a listen 🙂
Caz | This is Caz
I feel like my favourite song changes so often!
My friend did a think on facebook a while back asking people to post their favourite songs so she could get to know them better – I think it’s a great idea as you really do learn a lot from people when you find out what songs they like and why 🙂
Cool playlist I enjoy listening to music it always remind you of a situation or a cool place you been.
I can never answer the question “what is your favourite song/band” either. Because I know that if I do I’m admitting how not cool I am XD
Lol at Robyn, BTW
Corrine, you act like it’s even possible for me to have a favorite song! Haha, I can never choose. And my music taste is so varied that I can’t even pick a genre! I’m right with you, I LOVE MUSIC. Like more than anyone else that I know. I’m glad I saw this though because I’ve been wanting some new music to listen to. so thanks and I’ll be checking these out 🙂

I’e heard of Robyn, but not any of the others.
I’m a big fan of Take That and Matchbox Twenty, but like lots of different music too.
The only one I’ve heard of before is the Robyn one, and I remember singing along to that with some friends one summer! Couldn’t tell you the lyrics now though! Tania xx taniamichele.blogspot.co.uk
Great picks! I absolutely love Interpol, they’re one of the few bands still on my ‘I NEED TO SEE THEM’ list.

Distract Me Now Please
Sail is such a good song, and I love that video for it 🙂
I always have a hard time picking my favorite songs as well but I agree that music is everything. One of my fave songs ever s is To The End by Blur
Love these songs! They are my favorite too!
Hugs,
Lovely picks, I love Robyn – Konichiwa Bitches too.

I love AWOLNATION – so glad you included the band on your list!
I have two favourite songs of all-time:
1) Bloodflood Pt. II by Alt-j
2) Patience by Guns N Roses
This was an education as I’ve not heard of any of these!!!!x
I love Such Great Heights! Mine is Always Gold by Radical Face, Drops of Jupiter, Hey There Delilah, All I Want and the One by Kodaline..omg there’s just too many
I don’t know any of these artists on this list! When I have more time I’m going have to come back and have a listen to these. I might some new favourites! I always have a hard time picking just one favourite song/band too. I’m always like “where do I start?” Haha. x
Like you I have favourite songs that remind me of different parts of my life. A song can transport you back. You have quite an ecleptic taste in music. Many of the songs I haven’t heard of but really like Lucy x
my favourite song <3
