These two songs

Birdy - Skinny Love

This first song is sang by a 14 year old girl and is a cover of Bon Iver's Skinny Love. I love this song, her voice is so lovely for someone so young. I can't stop listening to it!

Polarsets - Leave Argentina

This band is from Newcastle in the UK, my hometown (wahey!) They have released a few songs and my favourite is this one below. When I go to Radio 1's Big Weekend on Sunday me and my friend are definitely going to the stage that they're on!

Living in the Present

Your probably thinking wtf? but when I say living in the present I mean not thinking about the future as much and actually enjoying what is happening right now, right here. As you may have noticed on my blog I talk about the future and things I can't wait for but I'm starting to lay off that for a while.

Things are quite good at the moment; family, friends, school, money - I actually have money in my purse. But I'm sure that won't last long and will go before I can re-count it. (It's not actually that much) I love how it's starting to warm up and the sun is starting to shine more and that it is nearly spring! This living in the present may not last long because I love thinking of the future all of the time, making plans and saying 'I can't wait for...' but this is what I'm loving right now.

What are you loving right now?

That it is March!

Firstly, I can't believe how fast the last two months have gone over! Is it just me or have they flown by? I love when it's this time of year because Winter is literally over, Spring is poking its pretty little head around the corner and it's nearly time to stop wearing those winter coats and scarfs.

Today was really sunny even though it was a tad chilly this morning but when I came home from school at half three, I was able to wear my thin coat and my scarf not my normal thickish coat to walk my dog. Wooo! Another thing that I'm loving about this month is that it is light when I wake up in the morning and that it is still light now. My alarm goes off at 7am for school and it was light outside this morning which is great because if you love sleep and lie-ins as much as me, these light mornings are so helpful when trying to get up. Also, it's 6pm while I write this and it is just starting to get dark. My last exam until May and June was done today as well so I'm happy about that. Smiling right now!

What do you love about March?

P.S. I've just started getting into the swing of reading Wuthering Heights and I really like it so far. Just to say it may be up in my sidebar for a while!

Laura Marling & Laura Jansen

These two artists are totally different in the way they sound and the only things they have in common are their first names and that I have recently downloaded their albums and love listening to them!

Laura Marling is more contempory folk and folk rock. I downloaded both her albums Alas I Cannot Swim and I Speak Because I Can, after listening to one of her songs on my friend's iPod at school. A few days after she won the BRIT award for Best Female Solo Artist and I was like woo, I actually know who she is! because she is not that well known. She's linked to Mumford and Sons because their style of music is similar and they have supported eachother at gigs. I love Mumford and Sons too! My favourite songs at the minute from her are Ghosts off her first album and New Romantic which is actually on neither of her albums.

(Second Album)

Laura Jansen is more under the genre of indie pop. After downloading her song Single Girls which I saw on youtube, I decided to download her album Bells a couple of days ago. I love it. I think you can really relate to her songs and they sound so sweet - they're good when you want to relax! She has done a cover of the amazing King's of Leon - Use Somebody (is it me or does everyone do a cover on this song? :/ ) However unlike some of the covers I've heard, this is really good and in my opinion totally different from the original. Favourite songs of hers from her album: Single Girls, Use Somebody and Wicked World. Wicked World is actually great and quite humourous if you listen to the lyrics carefully.

I would definitely check these out on Youtube :)
