Hello and thanks for stopping by :) Iâm M., and I do weekly artist spotlights and write music reviews. Youâre probably here either because you really love music or you hope to discover new music/artists. Either way, I think youâll find what like.
You guys Iâm finally back! Itâs been so long and I missed this so much :/ <3 This weekâs spotlight is from my current music obsessions Snakehips:Â
Week Nine Artist Spotlight: Snakehips
Song: Money On Me ft. Anderson .Paak (2016; All My Friends)
Fuck this. Fuck this post so much Do not tell me your best friend would not sit at your lunch table for three fucking days just staring blankly at your old seat wishing that you were there to fill the space with laughter.
Do not tell me your younger brother would not break down in the middle of class because you guys started talking about your favorite type of subject in school.
Do not tell me your mother would not stare into the mirror with trembling lips wishing she could be bringing you home from the hospital rather than having to escort you away in a casket to the nearest graveyard.
Do not tell me your father would not begin working the night shifts to distract himself of the silence at home because youâre not up until the ungodly hours of the night talking to whatâs-his/her-face on the phone because you guys are so in love.
Do not tell me your boyfriend/girlfriend would not go into your room and put on the last hoodie you wore trying to desperately imprint your scent onto their skin so they never forget your smell.
Do not tell me your friends would not stare blankly at the gymnasium wall after the principal has announced your death to the entire school making no sound trying to convince themselves this is just another one of your impractical jokes.
Do NOT fucking TELL ME this bullshit line of how the stars would still appear the sun would still come out the earth would still rotate and the seasons will still change because without YOU you lil beautiful piece of human being none of these people will want ANY of that to happen
Reblog if you think having depression and anxiety is valid.
I have a point to prove.
For everyone that reblogs this, your URL will be written in a notebook and given to my psychology teacher, who believes that depression is a choice.
You have until June 1, 2016.
Hi everyone! Throwback to my regular posts... So sorry but I've been really busy with finals and AP exams lately and I didn't want to post anything subpar cuz that's not what this accounts is about! I'm not done with exams until May 13th but I promise that by Sunday, May 15th I will be back and posting :)
I just found out that Aquilo (week two's artist spotlight) are opening for Oh Wonder for some of their upcoming shows! So excited! Will you be going to see them?
Hey guys, Iâm a little bit late this week, sorry about that! Iâve had a lot of things on my schedule, but Iâve finally gotten around to writing up this weekâs artist spotlight: Years & Years.
Listening to their music, itâs clear that Y&Y definitely have the talent to back up all of these accolades. The trioâs preference for recording in smaller, quaint studios gives their songs a more intimate and connected feel, as opposed to the sterilized, âbig studioâ sounds that many electronic artists maintain. They also explore many different cadences and intonations within the electronic or synthpop genres. On âMemo,â you hear Ollyâs delicate vocals coupled with a piano and his emotive lyrics about a hidden or forbidden love. Soft synthesizer sounds are overlaid skillfully to create the piece. In contrast, âShineâ and âTake Shelterâ, a love song about Ollyâs boyfriend Neil Milan and a song about a reckless relationship, with the upbeat synth and keyboarding from Emre and Mikey and Ollyâs voice, offer the kinds of dance music sounds that are definitive of an electro/synthpop band.
Thankfully, Years & Years are only getting bigger. They played The Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2015, and this past February they were nominated for FOUR Brit Awards, including British Single and British Group. Theyâre also playing several big festivals this year such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Sundown Festival, Osheaga, and V Festival, so make sure to check them out there if you can!
Again, thank you for reading, and please like or reblog this post and ask any questions or leave artist recommendations if you have any :)
