Song of the Day...

So hey,
turns out i don't go to boarding school anymore and therefore have much more time to dedicate to this blog. i obviously have not posted on here for literally six months but i hope you forgive me??

This is my returning Song of the Day!!

Song of the Day 4

Today's pick is People Everyday by Arrested Development! It's an oldie but a goodie x

Song of the Day 3

Today's pick is Nothing But A Heartache by The Flirtations!

Song of the Day 2

Today's pick is I Wanna Be Adored by the Stone Roses!








I have the biggest thing about Ian Brown in this song, especially the video. He just looks really dedicated to the song. The lyrics of this song are not the most complex and bear resemblance to the way some girls sit around and mope about how they "really need a boyfriend". The reason I picked this song for today is because I have a bit of that moping feeling today and because in my opinion, this is one of the most solid Stone Roses song with a pretty good hook and riff.

Song of the Day 1

This part of my blog is where I choose a song that emulates my day or is one of my faves.

Today's pick is Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks!








I chose this song today partly because it was the first classic English rock I ever heard and partly because a lyric from this song is the inspiration for this blog title. I was just going to include a lyric video or audio for the YouTube video but when I found this video of Ray really singing from the heart I thought it presented the emotional rawness and simplicity in a way I had never noticed from just a recording. The sweat pouring from his face almost looks like tears to me and we can see that this era defining anthem really was a new step forward for song subject matter and that not every song had to be about a girl or boy or love but the pleasure you can receive from familiarity and beauty.

The Very Beginning

Here I am typing into the unknown hoping that maybe someone with read this one day.  But hey.

Is this the bit where I talk about myself. So I'm Grace and was born and raised in London with a love for music, fashion, pictures. I won't get into favorite groups or anything like that yet but Song of the Day will give you a hint of that. The fashion thing is generally vintage shopping on Brick Lane for dungarees which is all I will wear.

Well I hope you stick around because that's such a cool shirt and I would love to borrow it sometime. If you aren't wearing a shirt (you raunchy you) then you have wonderful eyes. (bloody cringe i know)

Love you x

P.S. The titles to my posts are usually going to be the song I am listening to while I write the post except this one.
