A Year in Music

It's been a great year in music for me. According to Spotify - I've listened to more than 61 days of music (and I checked this statistic in the beginning of December). I do have to apologize the top tracks with LEF and Morocco and too many parties where my account was responsible for the music :) Otherwise I do love my Imagine Dragons and Biffy Clyro! Here's to an even better music year of 2014!

Imagine Dragons - Radioactive

Sometimes you hear a song and can't get it out of your head for days. That's what happened to me when I heard 'Radioactive' by Imagine Dragons. The song just does not leave my head. I do recommend their whole album. I think I've found my new favorite band!

Woodkid - Ghost Lights

One of my friends posted an Absolut vodka commercial on Facebook and this song was playing in the background. Fell in love with it straight away. And the more I listen to Woodkid, the more he blows me away. Great melodies, but above all the thing that has me hooked is the rhythm. Check it out!

Nostalgia!

Westlife - I'll See You Again

There are some songs that remind you of happy times. There are some songs that help you get over some hard times. This was the song for the latter option a few years back when I lost a loved one just about this time and again a year after that when another close family member left us. I just feel that this is the right time to post it. And it is a beautiful song after all! I'm sure I'll see you again...

Kodaline - High Hopes

Kodaline is again one of those not-yet-so-well-known-but-hopefully-will-make-it-big bands. They have put out a few EP and just recently a new album called 'In a Perfect World'. For me it was love at first sight (read: hearing). This song 'High Hopes' is beautiful masterpiece. Check it out!

Gabrielle Alpin & Bastille - Dreams

I'm still deeply in love with Bastille. This will not end. And I do love all the different covers I can find on YouTube by Bastille. 'Dreams' is a perfect song to get lost to when the autumn is coming. Just get a big cup of tea, good book, watch the rain outside and listen to this song.

Avicii - Wake Me Up

Two months of silence. I am sorry. This summer has been a life changing one, so a few things have lost my attention. This blog being one of them. I will try to improve myself. Now back to music. 

I think for a lot of people 'Wake Me Up' is the song of this summer. For me it definitely is so. I cannot say that I was a big fan from beginning, but by now I connect so many people, places and happenings to it, so I can't help but love it. So wake me up when it's all over...

Green Day - Oh Love

Yesterday I had the awesome opportunity to see Green Day live (we'll get to do that also next week at RW). Anyway, these guys are just too cool. I do not know how they can be so constantly energetic throughout at 2.5h show. Awesome, just awesome!

P.S. Billy Talent was one of the warm-ups and damn, they're cool!

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?

The new song by Arctic Monkeys is awesome! Enough said!

The Script - I'm Yours

I love this song. The words are really about giving your all to someone. And this is a beautiful performance of the song. The song is playing, rain is falling behind my window. This is mesmerizing! 

Frankie Animal - Loveless Man

It's about time to feature something from Estonia here again. There is a very young band called Frankie Animal. This is their first video. I've seen them perform live twice and I do have to say that they have impressed me both times. So, please enjoy the lovely song of 'Loveless Man'.

Jimmy Eat World - I Will Steal You Back

Spotify is extremely smart. I've always thought that way. Now I'm even more convinced as for a week or so it has kept recommending me the new album by Jimmy Eat World. I don't know why I didn't start listening to it straight away, but I'm really glad I finally did. The new album is good. Should definitely get back to their old stuff once again. Anyway, enjoy!

Bastille - Flaws

Bastille is perfection. Just. Every. Single. Song. I can't get enough.

Biffy Clyro - Mountain

I'm seriously obsessed with this version of the song right now. I've lost count how many times I've listened to it since I discovered it 3 days ago. Biffy Clyro is amazing. Biffy Clyro acoustically is above amazing. 

C2C - Happy

I just needed a kick-starter for the weekend! This will work! Happy Friday!

Alt-J - Breezeblocks

'Breezeblocks' has been on my current playlist for a while now. This song is just the perfect chill-out that gets  your toes tapping. And I love-love-love the bridge part of the song. Enjoy in the sun!

Miles Kane - Don't Forget Who You Are

Miles Kane has just released his second album called "Don't Forget Who You Are". Here is the title track. Compared to his previous album (which was really-really good), this one is so much better. It feels like a whole package. Check it out! I highly recommend!

Lana del Rey - Young and Beautiful

Although I wasn't that impressed by the Great Gatsby movie (I'm not saying that I didn't like it, I was just expecting something a bit different and for me it was too long), I was thoroughly impressed by the soundtrack. I didn't believe before that Jay-Z and Jack White could fit into the 20s that well. And then there's Lana del Rey. She has some otherworldly quality to her voice and her songs. 'Young and beautiful' is mesmerizing!
