Aww sad! Well guys, that’s 30 days of music for you. haha Last, but not least, I give you:

Day 30 - Your favourite song at this time last year
You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift

According to the charts, I’d say this song was probably my favourite as far as songs on the radio went. This song screams ‘high school sleepovers’, but I don’t care. It’s a good song, catchy, and Taylor Swift sure as hell has a voice to be reckoned with. I think I was also listening to her album at this point, so because ‘You’re Not Sorry’ was and still is my favourite song from her album, I’ll put that in as a tie for favourite.

Day 29 - A song from your childhood
Joyride - Roxette

I had to narrow this down to one song, because the other two I would’ve picked were either ‘The Look’ or ‘How Do You Do!’. Let me just say, I absolutely ADORE Roxette. <3

When I was at a roadhouse in Amsterdam, there was a magazine I picked up just because it had Roxette on the cover. Apparently they were playing a one-off show, and I was absolutely devastated that we were leaving. =( I have no idea whether Mum or Dad introduced me to these guys, but I’ve loved them since. =)

Day 27 - A song that you wish you could play
Hysteria - Muse

All you need to do is listen to the first 30 seconds of this song, and ‘nuff said’ couldn’t be a truer statement. If I had fingers that could move that fast, this would be a song I would be looking to master.

Day 26 - A song that you can play on an instrument

I used to be able to play the Pink Panther song /awesomely/ on the Saxophone. That counts, right? Even if it was… *counts* 8 years ago? It’ll do. =P Oh, and I could totally play ‘Born To Try’ and ‘Lost Without You’ by Delta Goodrem. I even spent countless afternoons writing out the sheet music and practicing it after school. I was a big fan of hers back then.

*ahem* Moving on.

Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh
Good Will Hunting By Myself - Ludo

Oh. My. LOL. hahaha! I love the lyrics of this song, actually, any of Ludo’s songs pretty much fit into this category, but this is definitely my favourite. I LOVE the rant he goes off on, it’s hilarious!

Girl, I remember when we was sittin’ on your couch, watchin’ Good Will Hunting, holdin’ hands and drinkin’ milkshakes. But milkshakes melt, people change, and you dumped me on my birthday.
Right after I bought you that really expensive thing from the Body Shop called Jojoba Loofah Milktowel or something like that.
That I sold 147 Cutco knives to afford, but whatever, hey, it’s cool
I’ve moved on you know, I’m happy now - well, happy in a crying sorta way. You know, curled up naked in the shower biting your knees wishing you were dead kinda happy, but I realized you were right, we were never meant to be.
And you know what? Thank God. ‘Cause you’re the most vapid, whiny blah I’ve ever met. Always making fun of my clothes, telling me how hot other guys are, asking me to pay you gas money?!
Pay your own gas you bug-eyed mooch - it’s your car and it costs more than my house!! Oh and now you’re going around trying to sleep with my friends. Hey good, that really makes you an empowered individual - no wait, did I say empowered individual? I
meant two-cent gutter slut.
Listen you tanning-bed-baked, broke-ass, goat-faced, oompa-loompa monkey problem, I am proud to shop at Target, I’ll wear warm-up pants any day of the week. Yes, your ass did look fat in those jeans, your mom’s a M.I.L.F. and I plan to get on your little sister just as soon as I give her a call back, oh and you know what else?


Ohhh the lulzzzz. hahaha!

Day 24 - A song that you want to play at your funeral
From Where You Are - Lifehouse

From the first day that I heard this song, I knew it would be what I wanted played at my funeral. That sounds so… morbid, but honestly, it’s in the nicest way possible. lol
Jason Wade wrote this song about a teenage friend of his who was killed in a drink-driving accident, and it’s more or less about how much he misses having him around and how his life was cut too short. It’s a sad song, but it’s happy in that it remembers him. And I guess I want others to have that feeling when it happens to me too. =)

‘So far away from where you are, I’m standing underneath the stars, and I miss you. And I wish you were here. I miss the years that were erased. I miss the way the sunshine would like up your face. I miss all the little things. I never thought that they’d mean everything to me.’

Day 23 - A song that you want to play at your wedding
The Only Exception - Paramore

This song is just… love. It’s the sort of song that if I heard it played at my wedding I would more than likely start crying. Alot of people called it boring, but that’s doesn’t matter to me, I love it anyway.

‘Maybe I know somewhere, deep in my soul, that love never lasts, and we’ve got to find other ways to make it alone, and keep a straight face. And I’ve always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance. And up until now I swore to myself that I’m content with loneliness. Because none of it was ever worth the risk. But you are the only exception.’

Day 22 - A song that you listen to when you’re sad
On My Own - The Used

It’s a sad song, what more can I say?

‘See all those people on the ground wasting time, try to hold it all inside, but just for tonight, on top of the world, sitting here wishing the things I’ve become, but something is missing, maybe I… what do I know?’

Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you’re happy
Attack - 30 Seconds To Mars

The first verse of this song is kinda like a mantra for me, it’s the only way I can describe it. It’s a very empowering song.

‘I won’t suffer, be broken, get tired, or wasted, surrender to nothing, or give up what I started, and stopped it, from end to beginning, a new day is coming, and I am finally free’

Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you’re angry
Blame it on me - Unwritten Law


This song gives me the equivalent feeling of punching something. And not in an ‘I hate this song’ sort of way, it’s a ‘release’ sort of way. haha But it’s soothing in its insanity. lol
