Song of the Day: "You're The One That I Want (cover)" by Angus & Julia Stone

I know, I know, once again I haven't been able to update in quite some time. I've been so caught up with work and trying to get myself organised that I have neglected this poor blog.

With some of my time off, I have been listening to a lot of music again, and I stumbled across Angus & Julia Stone's cover of "You're The One That I Want" from Grease. Yes, you must be wondering... how? If you're familiar with Angus & Julia Stone's music, you can only wonder how a song such as this one could be pulled off in this style?

It's for you to find out.... Julia's voice is precious.

Song of the Day: "Pretend (Reprise)" by Lights

I discovered Lights quite some time ago whilst browsing around YouTube, and I fell in love with her music video of "Second Go" which involved her haphazardly painting a bright house room with bright colours. However, that isn't the song I wanted to show you today. I wanted to show you "Pretend" by Lights. Her voice is really sweet and is a reminiscence of innocence.

Song of the Day(S): "Whatever You Like (T.I. cover) by Anya Marina + "Island In The Sun" by Weezer

I missed yesterday's "Song of the Day", I apologise. To make up for it, will present you TWO "Song of the Days" today.

Yesterday's song was Anya Marina's cover of T.I.'s "Whatever You Like". It came up on my iTunes library yesterday, and I forgot how much I love this cover. The original song is great, but I think this is one of those few occasions in which I can say I prefer the cover more.

Today's song of the day is "Island in the Sun" by Weezer. I always chill out on my balcony with this song, and the weather is considerably nice and bright in London today.

 Hope the weather is just as nice wherever you are! Get out of the house, take a walk, take some pictures, a picnic perhaps? If the weather isn't too great where you're residing that's fine - a day or night in with films, food and hot chocolate is just as great!

Song of the Day: "I Don't Know" by Lisa Hannigan

I found Lisa Hannigan a couple of years ago whilst I was listening to Damien Rice. Her voice is beautifully melodic, and "I Don't Know" could generally make any one person happy. Good beat, good song to chill out to.
