WOW, that is all I have to say.
So I decided to spend the evening having a bit of a Bon Iver marathon as I am some what of a huge fan and I stumble upon this little gem.
I didn't realise they had a new song out and all I have to say is... RADIO 1 why haven't you showcased it to the maximum.
I thought Blindsided was spine tingling, this one has potential to become my number one Bon Iver.
Even the video is amazing. It is just so different, talk about original, quirky voice from Justin Vernon but what about this new visual metaphor for the difficulty in finding love? Tell me if you disagree but I believe that is what he wants to put across and of course it has the happy ending, the happy ever after.
I have to say this is unusual for Bon Iver as their sound is wasted on heart break love songs (not that I am complaining, sing those songs to me for ever Vernon.)
I have to say I don't understand the frozen bear at the end but hey! What is a Bon Iver song without some mystery.
I can't do a blog without commenting on the whole album - For Emma Forever Ago, I realise it is old now but I challenge anyone with a decent amount of appreciation for Indie music to get bored of that album.
Skinny Love, beautiful song, Birdy I am sorry your version does it justice but doesn't compare to Bon Iver's raw, soothing melody.
How does they do it? That voice, that tone, their lyrics aren't even always clear but Justin makes it sound alluring.
I just simply love his delicacy, his charm and his pure talent.
10/10 Bon Iver.

Ghosts.
I have neglected my Blog as of late. I have had every intention to update it, however I really have been very busy. University is NOT as easy as you would think.
Anyway, my Earworm of the day is a song I have loved for years. Laura Marling - Ghosts.
This is a song I personally love, for no specific reason other than, it sends chills down my spine. I could listen to her voice all day long.
This video compliments her voice and matches her quirky personality perfectly, although it is kind of morbid, it is still sweet.
The paper cut outs which tell the story are cute and girly suiting her and the song well. Gentle and harmless are two words I think are fitting for both her voice and this music video.
It is different and I think that is why radio and music channels do not do Laura Marling enough justice.
She is played once in a while and it always makes my day to hear. Someone with her talent and originality needs some recognition.
She has several fantastic songs such as New romantic. Have a listen.
WOW I've just done some research on her to do my info bit and learnt that today is her 21st birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA MARLING keep up the fantastic work.

She has:
- Been nominated for the Mercury music prize in 2008 and 2010
- performed at a few festivals including the 02 wireless festival and was personally invited to tour with Jamie T after her second ever solo gig.
- She was in the original line up for Noah and the Wale and was scouted from Myspace.
- She once chose to perform on the street because she was denied entry to her own gig for being under age.
Romance is Dead
My Earworm today is quite a funny little song.
I think most people have heard of Paloma Faith. But she is only really known for her chart songs, Do you want the truth or something beautiful, New York, Stone cold Sober.
This song is from her debut album - Do you want the truth or something beautiful but it was never released which is a shame because I do love this song.
It is my favourite of hers.
Obviously there isn't a video for this as it was never released. I think it was just made to fill the album up but I think it deserves more credit.
Lyrics such as 'I ask you for a letter so you emailed, have we failed.' and 'Now I'm carrying my own bags up, 17 flights of stairs, love.' Really amuse me.
It is pretty accurate. Effort these days is so effortless and the things that really mean a lot to us girls GUYS LISTEN, is something special, no money necessary. Flowers or even some evidence you've listened to us OR just opening a door for us.
It's easy to make a girl feel special but you guys don't get that, even when we tell you.
So thank you Paloma Faith for this song, maybe some guys will take into consideration what you have to say.

Wherever you will go.
Todays Earworm in my opinion is one of the greatest songs ever made. Strong comment I know but I really do love this song.
The Calling- Wherever you will go.
There are two versions of the video. This is the first to be made and is shot in Mexico. The other is much more popular and is shot at the LA River. The girl gets her boyfriends name tatooed on her only to find him in bed with another woman. I think we all really sympathise with this character.
Check it out.
This song is absolutely spine tingling for me. I find that you really listen to the lyrics of it.
I'll go wherever you will go - the main title and lyrics that sum up the whole song and are just generally really nice. I hope someone wants to go wherever I will go one day.
All the lyrics within it are fantastic.
So lately, been wondering
who will be there to take my place
when i'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face.
The 3 opening lines which define the song and tell you straight away this is a love song, and quite a haunting one at that.
This is pretty much the only song The Calling ever successfully made and released but that is not lead singer (Alex Band) or Lead guitar (Aaron Kamin)'s fault. They were never able to get a steady band together and the label didn't help them out in the right places.
Band and Kamin are the original and only 'real' two members of the band and I don't know why they didn't just try to make it as a duo.
So thats my Earworm of the day and I've got to say i've enjoyed writing about this one the most as one of my top 5 favourite songs ever. COME BACK CALLING. I'll buy your albums.

- The song was named number 1 Adult Pop song of the Decade by Billboard magazine.
- They were the band that appeared in the background of the first club scene in Coyote Ugly.
- It was also featured on Love actually and was confused as the Theme tune for Star Trek: Enterprise, when really it just featured.

Dancing with tears in my eyes.
Unless your a massive Ke$ha fan like me, you will not know this song.
Ke$ha - Dancing with tears in my eyes is one of my favourite songs from her album, Animal.
There isn't an official video because it hasn't been released. I think it should be because it's a lovely song by her.
In it she keeps to her Ke$ha style and sings about going out. However, we do see a different style at the same time. Her songs usually involved her getting slaughtered and thats about it really, all about having fun.
They match her party girl status/persona.
This song shows her in a different light and shows us Ke$ha is capable of heartbreak, love all that kind of soppy stuff.
Lyrics such as:
'here we go welcome to my funeral, without you I don't even have a pulse.'
and
'I'm dancing with tears in my eyes, just fighting to get through the night'
Show that this is a love song, and although the lyrics make this obvious it doesn't feel to me like your ordinary love song, but then in my opinion, Ke$ha isn't an ordinary artist.
Her songs really express who she is I think and seem to have something behind them that link to her, whereas other artists sound like they have put some words together that sound good and you don't feel the connection between them and the song.
I say this because Ke$ha's songs match her personality. She is a party girl and I can imagine some of the songs relate to an experience of hers.
Ke$ha grew up very very poor and never knew her father. Changing the S in her name to the $ symbol is 'ironic' and is supposed to show an opposite effect than the emphasis of money being important.
Did you know:
She also played host to Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in an episode of the Simple life in 2004. I thought that was quite cool.

Did you know:
- Ke$ha is really a do gooder. She held a benefit concert in June and all the proceedings went to aids victims. She also donated 1,000 pounds worth of dog food to dog shelters.
- She is the female voice in Flo Rida's single right round, but took no money for her part and didn't want to be in the video.
- She has worked with Katy Perry, Britney Spears, The Veronica's and Miley Cyrus before she became a successful artist.
She also played host to Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in an episode of the Simple life in 2004. I thought that was quite cool.
Your song
I thought my earworm today was quite odd. Not because it's by Elton John. I think Elton John is fantastic. 'Your song' is quite slow and not really the kind of song you would usually get in your head, in my opinion.
However the chorus could be. "I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is when your in the world." Yeah. It definately is, bet it's in your head's now.
This is one of Elton Johns most famous songs. It was the song which made him a recognised recording artist although it never reached number one, or even number 2. It did get into the top 10 at number seven.
It has been described as a 'near perfect song'.
Elton John has had 56 top 40 singles and 9 number one hit's. He has won 5 Grammy awards, a Golden Globe award, an Academy award and a Tony award.

- It is one of Johns favourites from his collection of songs. He performs it at almost every concert.
- The song came to 136 on the Rolling Stones list of 500 greatest songs of all time.
Your Amazing just the way you are
Yep, incase you haven't already guessed, 'Bruno Mars - Just the way' you are is my Earworm of the day.
WHY?
It's chart music for a reason, yes a lot of it is bulls**t but the same can be said about any genre or style of music.
Chart isn't my favourite kind, to be honest I don't have a favourite kind but I do personally get tired of some people judging others for liking chart music, claiming they don't like it themselves in some desperate attempt to be 'different'.
Now some people may genuinely not like chart and fair enough but the majority do. What ever happened to Each to their own? That's what makes people different.
I think Bruno Mars is an individual. He has his own sense of style is an extremely versatile artist and an incredible songwriter.
I love this song as do many other girls I know and a lot of boys. It's quite soppy but happy, romantic. Every girl wants to hear their boy sing to them (or at least say)...
"If perfects what you're searching for then just stay the same." awwwwww.
It's a lovely song and I am personally glad to hear Bruno get out there and sing a solo song totally by himself and get more of the credit he deserves.
He has done a lot of different songs either with another artist such as 'nothin' on you - B.O.B' and 'Billionaire - Travie McCoy' and I think he did the better parts in these songs yet they are better known to be by B.O.B. and Travie McCoy. Unfair.

This is the first chart song i've done so far and i've got to say, I am a fan of chart music. For some reason I come across a lot of people these days that seem ashamed by the fact they like chart music.

- He has been nominated for seven awards this year. (Mostly for his collaboration with B.O.B on 'Nothin on you'
- He has writen songs or partially writen songs or sung with: B.O.B, Alexandra Burke, Travie McCoy, Adam Levine, Brandy, Sean Kingston, Flo Rida, Sugababes, Far East Movements and Cee Lo Green.
Always...
Bon Jovi - Always is one of my all time favourite songs and my Earworm for the day.Click here to watch Bon Jovi Always
I think it may have been inspired by their Greatest hits album released this week.
Bon Jovi is one of my all time favourite bands and I always thoroughly enjoy this song.
It was released as a single in 1994 and taken from their Album Crossroads. It was their biggest selling single making it high into the top ten in a few different country's such as:
- Australia
- Germany
- U.S
Bon Jovi have released eleven albums, 3 compilation albums and one live album. They formed in 1983 and are still going now.
Did you know:
- In 2006 they were inducted into the UK music hall of fame.
- in 2004 they got the Award of Merit at the American Music Awards.
- Jon and Richie (two band members) were inducted into the song writers hall of fame in 2009.
Can you feel my love?
Most of you will know the Adele version of 'Make you feel my love.'
Click here to hear the song
On her home page( Click here for Adeles homepage )she says: "The whole reason I called my first album “19” was about cataloging what happened to me then and who I was then, like a photo album" This is the only song on her album which is a cover but she's says it's the one that best expresses her feelings at that time.
She sings the song with such passion and beauty it makes my skin crawl. She is a Beautiful woman with a Beautiful, Original voice and it almost seems like the song was meant for her.
How do you all feel about it?
Has anyone else's favourite songs been sung on X-factor? Don't be shy let me know.
Hope you enjoy the song.

It is one of my all time favourite songs. It seems to have become pretty popular lately thanks to X-factor and a contestant singing it for an audition.
If anyone follows X-factor you'll know Rebecca also did a version of it on saturday night.
Although she sung it beautifully you all know how it feels to see your favourite songs copied on X-factor.
Adele's version on her 2008 album '19' is a cover of Bob Dylan who originally wrote and produced it in 1997 for his album 'Time out of mind'.
She sings the song with such passion and beauty it makes my skin crawl. She is a Beautiful woman with a Beautiful, Original voice and it almost seems like the song was meant for her.

Hope you enjoy the song.
