✖ for the good things ahead | 5 songs to listen to this week

• Monday 11 March 2019

GOOD EVENING, MONDAY.
This week has begun very exhaustedly with me, but I'm good knowing that I'll be hopping into an aeroplane in a few days. Even though I'm dead scared of flying, so that's going to be one hell of interesting 8 hours there and back. Funny thing though, I was trying to change some euros to dollars earlier today and I forgot my euros home. Have to make another trip to Forex tomorrow between uni and work! Oh well, you can't always win, can you?

In our series of weekly song suggestions, I'm going to share some feel-good songs. I mean, as per usual the lyrics might not be as uplifting as the songs are about to sound, but you know - feel-good songs in my very own scale of what is feeling good. That was put weirdly, I've been spending too much time reading for an exam instead of procrastinating my life away, as I usually am.

Here's a book I won't recommend: The history of information technology by Armand Mattelart. No, it's a good one, but it's so flipping heavy to read.

// As per usual, the headlines of the songs are links to Spotify so you can listen to them directly by clicking them! //

Tell me what you need, I can make you more than what you are. Come and lay the roses on the floor, every single Sunday, don't get bored. I just want to freeze, I can give you more than what you are. Now I see you standing all alone, I never thought the world would turn to stone.

✖ "11 Minutes" by Yungblud ft. Halsey
This is something I discovered around 8 days ago and I'm absolutely loving it. Even though the story in the lyrics is rather sad in its own way, the melody and rhythm of the song gives me an uplifting feeling. You know those songs, the ones that are depressing in an uplifting way? And that sentence, my dear friends, describes perfectly how fucked up my mind is.

But its not the way you can't afford your time, or the envy of the friends you've left behind. So whenever you go they can have everything you lose. Is this it? This is it.

✖ "The Dream's in the Ditch" by Deer Tick
Deer Tick is my ultimate go-to band when I want to listen to some chilled music. I mean, my usual playlist is kind of heavy with quickly beaten punk songs, so this is basically kids music to my ears Also, it gives me this instant feel-good feeling and it kind of feels like it's going to be Summer soon, so it's perfect for the Spring.

He said, "I've been to the year 3000, not much has changed but they lived underwater. And your great, great, great granddaughter is pretty fine, is pretty fine."

✖ "Year 3000" by Jonas Brothers
I recently wrote a blog post about how the teenaged me would be heartbroken if she heard the new song Jonas Brothers did a comeback with, so I relieved her pain by over listening to this song through the whole last week.

Will you come a little closer? I've got something to show ya. Look at my friend in California, she really likes the freckles on my face.

✖ "California Friends" by The Regrettes
For some reason, I've been listening to this song in the morning when I'm getting ready for the uni and I've found myself "childishly" in front of a mirror pretending I am a rockstar. Hey hubby, if you're reading this, this is what I'm doing when you are not home.

She was gonna be an actress, she was gonna be star. She was gonna shake her ass on the hood of White Snake's car. Her yellow SUV, is now the enemy. Looks at her average life, and nothing has been alright.

✖ "1985" by Bowling For Soup
This song has the best lyrics I know. Okay, there are better but this describes perfectly how not everyone adjusts in the change as well as one could think and how things were simpler when music was still on MTV.
