30 Day Song Challenge - Day 30

Day 30 - Cover of a good song to begin with, but now slightly better

Well this is it.

The last day.

So I have picked 2 songs.




and finally purely because I have just heard it and I loved it. (And yes I think the original is a good song.  I challenge you not to dance to it on a night out!)

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 26

Day 26 - Favourite song from this time last year

Seeing this man in concert is one of the best things I could of ever done.

His songs are so beautiful and so heartfelt.

And this is the song that started it all (but I'm happy to know that I loved him and saw him live before this song made it big)

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 25

Day 25 - A song from your childhood.

I remember so fondly, going to my grandparents house (which was a big deal as they lived in a different state) and them recording on cassette tape from a vinyl of this record that they had.

When I think of my childhood, I think of this man and this album.

If I ever have kids, they will be listening to this.  They wont have a say in the matter.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 24

Day 24 - A song you wish you could play on instrument

There are so many songs I wish I could play.

Unfortunately my talent for playing when the saints go marching in on recorder during primary school didn't continue onto something a lot cooler.

However, I would love to be able to play this.

I love musical comedy so this was a tough pick.

I would like to give an honourable mention to
Tripod

Bo Burnham

But one of my all time favourite comedians, and a man who I have seen numerous times is my choice.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 22

Day 22 - A song you want played at your funeral.

Something I don't really wish to think about.

But this song is haunting beautiful to me, and just seems so sad.

So it would be this song.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 21

Day 21 - A song you want to play at your wedding.

When my sister got married, she picked me as her maid of honour.

We both walked down the isle to this song.

It's such a beautiful song, and although I wouldn't copy my sister by walking down the isle to it, I would love to have it play at some point of the day.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 20

Day 20 - A song you listen to when you're sad.

There are 2 versions of this song that I will listen to, so, I shall post both versions.

The first version, I heard when I first watched Beaches (one of the sadest movies of all time)




But now I will also listen to the Tom Odell version.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 18

Day 18 - A song you listen to when you're angry

It takes a lot to get me really angry.

But once I am at that point, it's going to take an awful lot to bring me back to the happy Sam that most people know.

So instead of picking one song today, I am picking 3.  #YOLO

Note: All 3 songs need to be as loud as possible!




I always wanted to play this song as my last ever song at a theme park that I used to work at.  But then one new years eve when I was working, I was working on the roller coaster and a DJ played it.  I had a great time jumping around to it, but then lost the need to hear it at work.




When somebody hurts me emotionally, this is my angry song.  This is when I'm going to lock myself away and listen to this on repeat and work myself up into an emotional mess.




And this is also just a loud, rock out angry song about how rubbish the world is.  Because if people are angry about the world, I can be angry aswell!

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 17

Day 17- A song from your favourite album

This is a tricky one.

As someone who likes music as much as I do, picking one favourite album is next to impossible.

So after much thought, and the almost impossible choice to find a favourite album of this particular band, I came up with this song.

Plus, the first time I visited the place where this album is recorded, I listened to this song.

I had only just moved to London, a fresh faced Aussie that had yet to be tainted by all that I have learnt.

From the amazing Abbey Road....

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 16

Day 16 - A song you wish you heard on the radio

As much as I would love to work in radio, even I have to admit, that it seems like they just play the same 10 songs over and over again.

Even during this next songs peak, I never heard it on the radio.

I saw the film clip a lot, which is awesome because I love it, but never heard heard it played.

I would love to just once, rock out in my car listening to this on the radio

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 14

Day 14 - A song that describes you.

Confession.

I am the youngest old person I know.

I recently saw something on buzz feed that I related to.

19 signs you are secretly a a grandma at heart

A lot of people tell me that I am an old soul, and I'd be the first to admit that a perfect night would for me would be snuggled in bed, with a hot drink, watching a movie and knitting or crochetting something.

When I told everyone that I was moving across the other side of the world, my family were worried.  Not that I wouldn't enjoy myself.  But more so the fact that I needed to find my comfort place again.  And that comfort place is my room.

My housemates tell people, "Sam will be upstairs, but you won't hear her - she makes no noise"

And its true.

My room is my comfort bubble and I don't see that ever changing.

Oh and the fact that I used to stay inside to avoid the blistering heat that is Australia

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 13

Day 13 - A song that no one would expect you to like.

My music taste is pretty varied.  There is not much music that I don't like.

But I'm gonna throw a curve ball into this list.

It's been very pop so far, so I'm going with something different today.

Nothing like a bit of country music in the morning to get you ready for the day.... also helps that this singer is not to bad on the eyes.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 12

Day 12 - A song from a band you hate.

I will never like this band, and having to listen to one of their songs at work almost on a loop doesn't help the situation.

So in honour of that, this is said song that I have to listen to.
