This is part of my Music Monday series on my blog, where I talk all things music, from recommending songs to discussing my favourite music videos to compiling playlists based on prompts.

Summer is over!

I don’t want to say finally, because being off University has been pretty great, but I’m also so relieved the weather is going to get cooler. The weather fluctuated between INCREDIBLY HOT and ACTUALLY IT’S QUITE CHILLY in July and August and I just want it to be over please oh please.

So for Music Monday I figured I should do a little wrap up of the music I’ve enjoyed! I’ve made about 5 new music playlists for absolutely no reason at all other than I have no self control, and I keep having to edit down my 2019 playlist due to impulsively adding songs and then realising two weeks later that I honestly didn’t really love the song that much.

FAVOURITE SOLO ARTIST

My favourite solo artist this Summer was probably Sigrid. Generally with solo artists I get into one or two of their songs, and while those songs list in my favourite songs, the artist generally isn’t a new top favourite.

I’ve been a fan of Sigrid since 2017, and I finally felt like I was in the right space to listen to her new album Sucker Punch, which ended up solidifying her as one of my new favourite solo artists. She has a really intriguing voice and I love that you could dance to over half of this album because of how upbeat it is. There’s something to be said for lyrics that aren’t complicated, are easy to understand, because sometimes that makes them all the more relatable for a listener.

I also love how so much of her music is inspired by more than just romantic issues. There are crushes and friendship songs, songs about breaking free from toxic friendships– something that helped me as I reconcile with some of the more toxic elements of relationships I’ve had in the past– and there’s also a song inspired by not only Studio Ghibli, but also her attempt to control her image in the media, which is something I always love in music. Artists can be publicised so much we forget they are real human beings, and hearing their music about their public image is always humbling.

FAVOURITE BAND

(Take This To Your Grave isn’t here because it wouldn’t fit, don’t fight me)

2008 Connie and 2019 Connie have one thing in common, and that’s their intense adoration of rock bands that formed in the 2000s. I’ve always been a fan of Fall Out Boy since I was little, but it’s only the past year I’ve actually started listening to all of their discography properly and begun appreciating what they’ve come out with.

This might be divisive, but I honestly think Fall Out Boy, of the ol’ rock/punk rock scene, have had the most consistently good albums since their debut. I think other bands have had decent albums and, in some cases, bad ones that only have one or two good songs in my opinion (Paramore’s self-titled album, I’msosorry), but not ones that have absolute hits.

Fall Out Boy are always great for me, every song on their albums that I’ve heard so far, and that’s why they are my favourite band of the Summer. They’ve changed with the times and the kind of music that’s popular in the moment without ever losing what made their earlier music so great. It’s just all very idiosyncratic, from the music videos to the content to the actual song titles, and I love them.

ALBUMS I LIKED

#gallery-0-8 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-8 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-8 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-8 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Doom Days // Bastille

While doing some research on this album, I discovered that the concept for Doom Days is that it follows different points in the night at a party, a party that has a lot of “turbulent emotional chaos”. This explains why I love it so much.

In general, Bastille are a band that put a lot of thought into their music, and I think some really visceral imagery can be created from the concepts they shape the album around.

The titular song is actually my favourite of the album. It describes escapism from modern anxiety, and how, no matter how fucked the world is, you need to shut off sometimes. I struggle a lot with this– I constantly describe my own anxiety, something that I struggle with a lot, as having an IV line of straight modern horror flowing into me that I can’t disconnect from– and I think, as a song, it confronts modern fear– from climate change denial to porn addiction– without ever demonising those who make the decision to shut their brains off from it sometimes.

I think the Peter Pan reference especially reaffirms this. Yes, Peter Pan himself is a symbol of innocence, but at its core, Peter Pan’s narrative is about a girl who finds escape from the ‘real world’ long enough to figure out the issues of adulthood and growing up without losing herself along the way. In a way, that’s what this song, and the rest of the album, enforce. Escapism is good sometimes.

Third Eye Blind // Third Eye Blind

God of Wine has been one of my favourite songs for god knows how long, and after listening to a really bizarre mash-up of Welcome to the Black Parade with Semi-Charmed Life, I finally figured I should give the rest of the band’s music a try.

I’ve started with their self-titled first album, just because it’s easiest as I make my way through their discography, but I kind of stopped on this one. I just really love it. It mixes different sounds, sometimes crossing several in one song (Narcolepsy has an ending that jolts you out of your seat), with grim lyrics reflecting on suicide and mental health conditions, crystal meth, and sexual abuse.

Fun story: Semi-Charmed Life was very familiar to me before I’d even listened to the album, and when I researched into it, I realised that was because it was used in trailers for The Tigger Movie and, as a massive Winnie the Pooh fan and YouTube user, I had most definitely seen the trailer when I was younger and not put the pieces together. These trailers were obviously recalled because the song is about crystal meth, but I just think that’s a fun look into how little people actually pay attention to lyrics!

Sucker Punch // Sigrid

I’ve obviously discussed Sigrid in length earlier in this post, so I won’t say as much here. My favourite songs on the album are Basic, Don’t Kill My Vibe, and Business Dinners.

FAVOURITE SONGS

Arms Unfolding // Dodie

Oh, our fire died last Winter

Heavy Metal Heart // Sky Ferreira

I describe the chorus and instrumentals of this as the musical equivalent of a headache, and I stand by that. Sky Ferreira’s voice is great, and I love the chaotic noisiness of this song.

Django Jane // Janelle Monáe

I actually only just listened to Dirty Computer. I tend to prolong listening to things until well after the hype surrounding them dies down, and I’m glad I did, as I’m not sure if I would have enjoyed the album otherwise.

I’m With You // Avril Lavigne

Can you tell I grew up goth? I remember memorising the lyrics to this when I was in year 3.

The Archer // Taylor Swift

Definitely the best song to come out of Taylor Swift’s latest album so far! I love the juxtaposition in the lyrics. I also wrote a whole post assigning her songs to Shakespeare Plays, if you’re interested in that sort of thing!

goodnight n go // Ariana Grande

I… don’t have much to say about this? It’s one of three songs I actually like off Sweetener.

A Brand New Day // BTS&Zara Larsson

Everytime the first notes of this song play I get immediately hyped. I love the instruments used in this song, and I think the voices and sounds of the different collaborators in this (V and J-Hope, and Zara) all compliment each other really well.

Nightmare // Halsey

I Smile // DAY6

DAY6 were sold to me as a Korean rock group and I immediately jumped on that. I really love their album Sunrise.

Doom Days // Bastille

Someone You Loved // Lewis Capaldi

This has some iffy messages, especially concerning the idea of your partner– or a sole person– as a sort of therapist instead of pursuing other avenues (i.e. actual, paid-for therapy) to help you begin to tackle emotional issues. I do love Lewis Capaldi’s voice, though, and I think there are more ways to look at the song than just that. Remember kids: it’s okay to ask for help from loved ones and there should be a quid pro quo of support, but if your emotional issues are that bad, please seek professional help!

Kataomoi // Aimer

Baby Don’t Stop // NCT U

After how much time I’ve spent crafting paragraphs about music I love and trying to remain somewhat intelligent, I’m breaking that here: this song is just sexy. That’s the whole reason I love it. I’m sorry.

Ça Ira // Joyce Jonathan

This is a really fun song, it kind of reminds me of Sara Bareilles, only French. The fact that the music video is staged as her going on blind dates with people of all genders is also really adorable and not something I see a lot of in music videos!

FAVOURITE MUSIC VIDEOS

Spring Day // BTS

youtube

I spend most of my time attempting to deconstruct every music video BTS have ever come out with, but Spring Day is almost the be-all-end-all for me. There’s so many layers to this music video, from the philosophical references– The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K Le Guin is a direct inspiration for the music video– to its context within the general BTS ‘Universe’ they’ve created with their music videos. I know this isn’t considered a direct part of the BTSU, but it is to me, and I love it. I really love the music video for Lights as well!

Nightmare // Halsey

youtube

This is a fact not many people know about, but I desperately wanted to both be in a rock/heavy metal band when I was younger, and also date someone in a heavy metal band. So all of those black and white sequences of Halsey as the frontwoman for a rock band are honestly my favourite thing ever. I love the messages of this song; I know people are divisive over their opinion on Halsey, but I’ve always loved her honesty, so I really love this song.

Kataomoi // Aimer

youtube

It’s a very quiet music video and I love that! People can do a lot with smaller budgets and minimal people partaking, I think this music video is beautiful. My best friend actually recommended this song to me with the assurance that Namjoon from BTS talked about it before.

Winter Bear // V

youtube

Speaking of quiet music videos: THIS. It’s soft and mostly uses shots and clips V got himself walking around and touring, including a few Jimin got for him. I’m very much on both ends of the spectrum concerning music videos: I love so many large-budgets videos, but I also love ones that are minimalist and filmed on smaller budgets (if you don’t count the cost of what Taehyung is wearing, obviously).

What have you listened to this Summer? I’d love some music video recommendations especially, I think it’s amazing how carefully people can form stories and messages without ever using speech, especially when the imagery isn’t overt and you can do research into shots used to understand what it could mean.

Thank you for reading!

If you liked this post, consider buying me a coffee? Ko-Fi.

All the other questions for the author's ask :)

1. Is there a story you’re holding off on writing for some reason?

I’ve always loved stories and movies that take place at boarding schools and so I’ve always wanted to write a story/novella that takes place there but I’ve never found the right setting or time period or characters or events and it blows

2. What work of yours, if any, are you the most embarrassed about existing?

The very first novel I ever wrote and finished. It still hasn’t seen the light of day or an editing and it’s been 4 years

3. What order do you write in? Front of book to back? chronological? favorite scenes first? something else?

I usually try to write everything in chronological order but when I get stuck, I dive right in to the meat of the story/my favorite scenes and then try to work the story around that

4. Favorite character you’ve written

In terms of fan fiction, my character Nikita Mikhailov, who is Villanelle’s new handler in my fic Stands the Lonely Tree

In terms of original work, I really like my character Marjorie Addams, who appears in a novella I wrote a year and a half ago called Eden, which takes place at a music camp over seven days and somebody dies

5. Character you were most surprised to end up writing

Villanelle, tbh; I love writing from her POV

6. Something you would go back and change in your writing that it’s too late/complicated to change now

I would definitely change how melancholic it is because I really feel like people hate that

7. When asked, are you embarrassed or excited to tell people that you write?

Excited, most of the time; I’ve never had anyone in my life tell me that what I want to do is useless or not worth pursuing, and for that I’m incredibly lucky

8. Favorite genre to write

Realistic fiction but my guilty pleasure is post-apocalyptic and attempts at period pieces (like my latest play!)

9. What, if anything, do you do for inspiration?

I watch my favorite movies or I go to the bookstore or to the movies and other times I read my favorite books or fic authors or listen to new music; all these things have helped spark inspiration at some point or another!

11. What aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?

Definitely dialogue; I used to struggle with that so much but now it’s relatively easy in prose form anyway; plays are a whole different beast but I won’t go into that right now lol

12. Your weaknesses as an author

Humor. I feel like I can’t make anything light-hearted or funny to combat the seriousness of my stories (Phoebe Waller-Bridge please take me under your wing)

13. Your strengths as an author

People tell me my writing flows quite well and that I’m very detail-oriented and that they really like my style (how it sounds poetic at times), so I guess those would be strengths

14. Do you make playlists for your current WIPS?

Sometimes, yes, particularly if I’m writing a scene that has a certain vibe to it, I have to find a song that matches that vibe

15. Why did you start writing?

Ever since I was a tinier human, I’d always been making up stories, whether I was outside playing with my horses and zoo animals and dolls or just writing random sentences. I remember once, when I was 9, I was thinking of this story and I started writing it down and I had a moment of ‘I can get what’s in my head onto the page?!’ and it was just this giant revelation, and so I’ve been writing ever since then. I didn’t start to take it seriously until I was in high school, and that’s when I began writing “for real,” I guess you could say, and I also took it up as a sort of therapy because between middle school and high school there was a lot of trauma, and writing about it helped.

16. Are there any characters who haunt you?

Ah, there’s my character from my very first novel, Abigail Leatherby, who I haven’t been able to stop thinking of ever since I first met her; and then there’s Winnie Andersen, my sassy OC from a post-apocalyptic novella I was working on a year and a half ago; and also Marjorie Addams, who I have a lot of feelings about

18. Were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? What were they?

The first book I ever read as a “serious writer” was The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold and it influenced me in terms of the melancholy and nostalgia department, because it was a character literally looking back at life while she wasn’t able to live it anymore (because she’s dead); then there was Donna Tartt and her fucking Dickens style of writing that’s so elegant and refined and detailed and I stole a few detail-writing tips from her; and now I must say the lovely Luke Jennings has influenced me too in terms of not shying away from rather explicit things, because if you have a character that’s into those things, you may as well be explicit about it. Reading his novel gave me more confidence to not censor myself as much.

19. When it comes to more complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters, development, timelines, etc?

I’m the kind of author who rarely plans their shit out; I just write as it comes and hope for the best in tying everything together in a neat little bow, but when the story is really complicated, I usually like to outline major plot events and then try to string together all the little things that lead up to those major plot events. It’s a pain in the ass but it helps so much

20. Do you write in long sit-down sessions or in little spurts?

I do both depending on how much of an asshole my brain is being

21. What do you think when you read over your older work?

“There’s potential lurking under these really badly written lines and dialogue, I just have to get my hammer and chisel!”

22. Are there any subjects that make you uncomfortable to write?

Really explicit sex is one of them, especially if it has to be anatomical… I just can’t; it makes me cringe so much. And there’s also some violence or trauma subjects I won’t write about simply because I’ve yet to get a distance away from a few things that happened to me in order to write about them without being taken back to when they happened

24. Have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene for a story?

The only thing I can think of right now is film photography and how you had to develop it in a darkroom (although personal experience helped with that too)

25. Copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph you’re particularly proud of

Anna Leonova’s apartment is sealed off by bright crime scene tape eventwo months later. There are signs of traffic but other than that there isnothing. Her precious belongings are collecting dust. The place smells staleand lifeless. It had once been full of it, a warm place with conversation andbooks and passionate sex and as she retraces old steps, Villanelle takes in theold details. There is the table they’d had lessons at. There is the couch she’donce slept on out of a sort of fear that, after being in Anna’s bed for sexualreasons, Anna wouldn’t want her there for any other intimacy. There is thechair they’d defiled. There is the bathroom where Villanelle had first kissedAnna. And there is the bedroom, that precious place, the last place anythinggood had happened between them. It isn’t yellow with morning’s light. It’s greyand sour.

Thank you, Anon!

Top Model - Raquel Welch https://youtu.be/x7ahjrNu_kI Raquel Welch (born Jo Raquel Tejada; September 5, 1940) is an American actress and singer. She first won attention for her role in Fantastic Voyage (1966), after which she won a contract with 20th Century Fox. They lent her contract to a British studio, for whom she made One Million Years B.C. (1966). She had only three lines in the film, yet images of her in the doe-skin bikini which she wore became best-selling posters that turned her into a celebrity sex symbol. She later starred in notable films including Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968), 100 Rifles (1969), and Myra Breckinridge (1970). She made several television variety specials. In late 2008, she became a spokeswoman for Foster Grant's reading glasses campaign, created by Ferrara and Company.[3] 0:45 More Detals About ➤http://ift.tt/1Oplnqz Music credit: Music: www.bensound.com Liked my video ?
