As it’s my birthday today, I thought I’d do
a ‘What I’m Listening To’ from over the years, although, most of these I have
been listening to recently as I’ve been sorting all my old CDs out… ahh the
nostalgia! So, here's 10 songs I've listened to as I've grown up, these are the less influenced ones, (so the ones I found/listened to on radio, rather than the ones played my family :))
1.
Sleeping With The Light On - Busted
This was my favourite Busted song and
although it’s not quite ‘Year 3000’ or ‘What I Go To School For’, this one will
always be on my ‘faves’ playlist on my iPod. (This is McBusted performing it live, because Busted aren't a thing supposedly on YouTube anymore).
2. Never Had A Dream Come True – S Club 7
You’ve all heard ‘Reach’ and ‘Don’t Stop
Movin’ a million times before (usually at school discos right?) but this one is one of the slower ones... Even though they’re as cheesy as a packet of wotsits, S
Club’s lyrics do have a fair amount of truth behind them – life lessons and all
that!)
3.
America – Razorlight
I’m not sure what it is about this song,
but it really is one of those ‘once you hear it, you have to sing along’ type and
recently I’ve been hearing it everywhere!
4.
Blue (Da Ba Dee) – Eiffel 65
This got replayed so much when I was
little; I was obsessed and I can’t have been the only one! Sorry in advance for getting this stuck in your head!
5.
I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker – Sandi Thom
This was Sandi Thom’s debut single and it
got a lot of love when I was at primary school! It was probably on one of the
Now albums and it’s one of those songs that can pick you up.
6.
Shake Me Down – Cage The Elephant
This is a little more recent, only five
years old, but it’s up there with my favourite songs and has been played at
many birthday BBQs and parties over those five years. (if you don’t recognise
the name, have a listen – you’ll probably recognise the song!)
7.
Heaven Is A Halfpipe (If I Die) – OPM
I went out a few weeks ago and this played
in the ‘nightclub’ we were at, I’m pretty sure I was one of the only ones who
knew the song and I’m really not sure how?! I thought this was one of those
songs that everyone knows, but maybe not? Let me know if you do!
8.
Goodbye Mr A – The Hoosiers
It was tough to choose between ‘Goodbye Mr
A’ and ‘Worried About Ray’, these were the well known tracks from The Hoosiers’
debut album ‘The Trick To Life’, which remains one of my favourite albums;
enjoy singing along!
9.
Whistle For The Choir – The Fratellis
I always preferred ‘Whistle For The Choir’
over ‘Chelsea Dagger’, however, either could be included in this blog… Both are
definite throwbacks and brilliant songs!
10.
Girls & Boys – Good Charlotte
At the height of my pop punk obsession,
stands Good Charlotte, ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous’ is also another
fantastic song that nearly made it to this list, but last minute change to this
one…
Mr. Brightside nearly made the cut and many others, but these were the 10 I decided on... Enjoy!
Thanks for reading!
