"The sun might not be shining yet but at least the rain’s stopped."

Frank Hamilton- All or Nothing (I want you)

A very refreshing way to look at life. The blurb is well worth a look too. Not revolutionary but certainly puts ones thoughts back in to perspective.

Everyone goes through shit but you need to see the positives in life. Be thankful for what you have and nothing is ever as bad as it seems. It may seem like the worst outcome at the time but in the long run it'll turn out menial. (Most likely)

Heard this about 3 years ago when I was first looking at secret garden party as a potential festival. It made me love their crazy website even more! I need to go at some point but this remix is just bizzare and beautiful! Enjoy!

Why do you hold back?

Heavy On The Strawberries- Good Things

Sounds a little bit like "Do they know it's Christmas" in the first line but then flips and is nothing like it, thank fully!

This trio are good fun and just starting out. Their stripped back sound is not new but it is certainly refreshing. The singer has an interesting sound with hints of power that are creeping through. Lyrics aren't overly inspiring but extremely enjoyable. Definitely a firm summer favourite (if it ever returns)

This image is adorable, check out their website for the background. It's a real British countryside hamlet story!

We didn't get tonight. Don't have tomorrow. So don't ruin now.

James Bay-Move Together

Beautiful lyrics which are kind of crushing and upsetting. The range in his voice is great and his poetry is magical.

Defiitely a real talent to watch. Got 20,000 views on Youtube in around 24 hours. Got to be saying something.

Sweeping wind that haunts the night

Adam Barnes- Come Undone

It finally felt like Spring was on it's way on Tuesday and then it rained again. And possible snow in London on Monday...no thank you.

This song however makes it feel like Spring. It's hopeful and makes me optomistic for the future. It's all I can be as I'm never with Greg and it gets me down a little bit. I'm just waiting for Easter break and summer when we can spend as much time with eachother as we can. It's going to be fantastic. 

I first heard about Adam Barnes through Green Man voting system for an act to open the stage. He's gone from strength to strength and this EP is fantastic. Very uplifting and just what I want from an acoustic sounding album like this.

There's never time to save

Gary Jules-Falling Awake

Occasionally, very occasionally, I just feel like a good cry and enjoy songs that make me feel like I want to cry. Not an emotional cry out of personal sorrow but just general release of emotions. Of course there are certain songs that I associate with moments in my life and they're sad for a completely different reason and this is not what I'm looking for right now. I have no idea why this song is sad but it's the tempo and the chords and the length of the song all together. Along with the hopeless sound in his voice.

Gary Jules-Falling Awake

"You never get to choose, you live on what they sent you"
"And that's just the way it goes, falling awake"
Makes me feel like there's no point in striving for anything when he sings it.

In spite of real distance we'll always be close

Keaton Henson- Sarah Minor

This is rather fitting isn't it, yes you're the other side of the world but I love you.

Sarah Minor

His haunting, soft, vulnerable yet powerful voice is not what I need right now, I feel like I'm about to burst into tears and I don't think I could deal with someone breaking my heart.

How we feel is hard to fake, so let's not give the game away

Gabrielle Aplin- Please Don't Say You Love Me

I love this girl, her voice is magical and so touching. Not my usual thing but she's original and I love that.

Gabrielle Aplin- Please don't say you love me

This doesn't apply to me fortunately and I couldn't be happier about it.

"Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that"
