Music Monday | Top 5 Songs of the Week - 07/09/15

It's been quite a while since I've written a Music Monday post - a month to be exact! Here are 5 songs that I've been loving recently!

1. Cool For The Summer - Demi Lovato
"Take me down into your paradise, don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type."
Even though summer has come and gone, this song is one of the things that is keeping the summer vibe alive. It's a really upbeat song that just screams summer! I wish it would've been released a bit earlier in the UK though because this song definitely would've been my summer song this year!




2. Fight Song - Rachel Platten
"And I don't really care if nobody else believes, 'cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me."
This song incredibly inspirational and it has such a positive, powerful message to believe in yourself. This song is really catchy and impossible not to like. It's easy to see why this song was at the top of the charts. 



3. Missing You - All Time Low
"Don't lose your fight kid, it only takes a little push to pull on through, with so much left to do, you'll be missing out and we'll be missing you."
I feel like most of my Music Monday posts include an ATL song...Oh well! I love this song so much and it's one of my favourite songs from the album, Future Hearts. I feel like it's one of those songs that could resonate with so many people today rather than songs about sex and drugs which a lot of songs seem to be about these days; people can feel reassured and that there is hope when they listen to it, and I think that's one of the things I love so much about it. 



4. Adventure Time - (Bri)Bry
"If I lose my Irish charm, when there's grandkids hanging off my arm, we'll go on an adventure and relive history."
If you read this post about Belsonic, you'll know that I saw the Irish singer/youtuber perform some of his songs, including this one. I really liked all of the songs that he performed, but Adventure Time has to be my favourite. I've had it on repeat since Belsonic if I'm being completely honest with you. It's too good not to!


5. Wildest Dreams - Taylor Swift
"He's so tall and handsome as hell, he's so bad but he does it so well."
I am so so so happy that this song is Taylor's next single! As I think I've mentioned in one of my previous Music Monday posts, this is my favourite song from her album and I can't stop listening to it. I love the old Hollywood glamour style of this video and Taylor looks stunning (as usual). Also, Scott Eastwood is a nice edition to this video as he is gorgeous ;)

Music Monday | Top 5 Songs of the Week - 06/07/15

1. Black Magic - Little Mix
"Take a sip of my secret potion, I'll make you fall in love."
I'm listening to this song whilst writing this blog post and I'm finding it hard to sit still to be honest - I'm literally dancing in my seat! The melody is so catchy that it will stick in your head for days and I've been finding myself singing/humming it all week! Little Mix always release great pop songs, but 'Black Magic' is my favourite song they've released so far.



2. Worth It - Fifth Harmony ft. Kid Ink
"And if you don't have a clue, not a clue, I'll tell you what to do."
This is actually the first song by Fifth Harmony that I've listened to. Like 'Black Magic', this song is very catchy but the two are very different. It features a saxophone like other big hits by Ariana Grande and Jason Derulo, and it's no surprise that this song is currently number 3 in the UK iTunes charts.




3. Shine - Years & Years

"Don't leave me behind, can't you see me I'm shining, and it's you that I've been waiting to find."
My friend was the one who introduced me to Years & Years when they released 'Desire' and I think their music is getting better and better! I had to listen to 'Desire' and 'King' a few times before I properly liked them, but as soon as I heard 'Shine' I liked it.




4. Can't Help Falling in Love - Ingrid Michaelson

"Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you."
My cousin got married recently and this was the song he and his wife (it's so weird writing that!!) danced their first dance to. Since then I haven't been able to get this song out of my head, and so I've been listening to it - a lot! I like listening to Ingrid Michaelson's version of this song (although Elvis' will, of course, always be amazing!) and I love playing it on the piano because it's simple yet beautiful.

5. Falling in Love Tonight - The Tide
"We laughed, and danced, and sang along to the music in our heads."
Some of you probably haven't heard of The Tide before because they haven't actually released any music yet. They're a new band that are signed to The Vamps' label. I first heard them when they were supporting The Vamps on their arena tour and they were amazing! They have some really good original songs, but unfortunately there are no official versions of them on YouTube yet, apart from this one! I think it's a great song and I've been listening to it a lot this week. So, give it a listen and let me know what you think!
