For Some Reason Music Is Addictive (8) {Part 3} July 30th

Written on June 28^th 2015

Since I last blogged, I have begun listening to four new bands. Well I say new, they’re new to my ears, but one has been around since ‘94. This is the part where you google “bands formed in 1994” or scroll down the page or something to find out who exactly I am talking about. Muse. There, well now you know. 

Top 5 Bands Based On How Many Of Their Songs I Know

1. Imagine Dragons           

2. Fall Out Boy                    

3. Panic! At the Disco         

4. My Chemical Romance

5. Muse                                 

I only began listening to Muse and MCR –not MKR(this is not for your mother, it’s for the emo’s in the back) – two days ago. For most of today I actually had Welcome to the Black Parade stuck in my head, which is the only MCR song I actually know. Hey, it’s gonna take a few more listening’s for me to remember all the songs. It’s hard, learning all the songs to four bands at the same time, which FYI Imagine Dragons is not part of.  I have been obsessed with them since January (It began in 2013). No, the four bands are: Panic! At the Disco, Muse, My Chemical Romance and Cold War Kids. Maybe you’ve heard of them. Maybe you’ve seen the Aloha trailer. This is the artist of the second song played in that trailer. The song is called First, and was #38 on the ARIAs a few weeks ago.

An Interesting Fact

As I was writing this, the album switched from Cold War Kids to Of Monsters and Men.

Continued on July 6^th 2015

As they have now made an appearance it seems fit to talk about them. Also, yes I usually write while listening to music, just not right now as it is 23 minutes into the morning. A half hour after I wrote that interesting fact, I did the thing where you rediscover a song. Back in about twenty twelve-ish there was a song I really liked, that I never caught the name of. Well that’s what happens when the title of the song is in the second verse not the chorus Little Talks.

A Selection of Irrelevant Song Lyrics

There’s an old voice in my head that’s holding me back.
Well tell her that I miss our little talks.

Okay, so they weren’t completely irrelevant.

There are several more things to discuss,

A update from July 30th

I know way more MCR songs now (Mama is my favourite). Also I am currently listening to Danger Days.

Autumn's Ability to be Haunting (7) {Part 2} July 15th

Autumn's Ability to be Haunting

I am not just saying I like autumn because that is my birth season. Trust me, if I suddenly moved to England or Italy or Germany for the hell of it, my favourite season wouldn't, I repeat WOULD NOT become spring. There is just this thing about autumn, especially in Australia that is just hypnotic. There are spirals of browns, yellows, golds and reds. And, miraculously, greens. The air has this cold chill, but the days are still long and bathed in glowing sunlight. It's the way the world begins to fall apart, that I found beautiful. Destruction. I'm romanticizing destruction.  

The way nature kills itself.

An Update From July 15th
I am currently sitting in science class, and the word search I am meant to be doing is hurting my eyes. I'm listening to Lana Del Rey - Video Games, after getting all they way through MCR's May Death Never Stop You. 

I hate science,

A Definite Ranking (6) {Part 1} July 14th

June 28th 2015

Hey, 

So I found this draft in my list, but there was no information apart from the date; which was the twelfth of June. But hey I guess I can use this post  as an update.

We are officially on WINTER break. Yay. Winter is actually my second favourite season, but I despise having these holidays off school. It has taken me fourteen years to decide this, and is probably subject to change once we get to summer. 

A Definite Ranking Of The Seasons According To Elle

1. Autumn    

2. Winter      

3. Summer   

4. Spring      

Just so you know this post was originally part of a what-I-intended-to-be-4-page-post-but-am-now-dividing-so-it-makes-more-sense post

Look forward to that hopeful influx,

Elle

P.S Today was the second day back at school, it’s freezing.
