Music this Monday

I have to admit, today I didn't do anything much. Even though it is Summer, there were heavy showers and thunder, which meant I stayed inside in my pyjamas all day and spent the day singing around the house. This is what I always do when I have the house to myself, and because I was singing a whole concert worth of songs to absolutely no one, I can't even think of one particular song to talk about for this Monday. Sorry about that. So instead of talking about a specific song, I am going to confess to the songs that I love to sing. Basically, I love singing and listening to dark/sad songs, which really suited the miserable weather of today, in particular Marina and the Diamonds and Lana Del Rey (who are both officially my favourite singers) and luckily some of their songs suit my voice, which is an extra bonus.

Some of my favourite songs of Marina and the Diamonds would be: 'Lies', 'Starring Role', 'Teen Idle' and 'Buy the stars', but to be honest, I just love all of her songs. While some of my favourite songs of Lana Del Rey would be: 'Dark Paradise', 'Born to die', 'Ride' and 'Radio', but it is so hard to narrow them down because I just love them all (except 'Lolita'- I just never warmed up to that one). So I had lots of fun singing all these songs (and more) around the house, and I have to say that I did that for quite a lot of hours.

When my mum got home though, I had to stop my singing and instead had to start listening to music with headphones, because mum doesn't really like all my music. So when preparing dinner, I was listening to Lily Allen, and dancing around the kitchen (it is possible to dance and cook at the same time) loving the song 'Smile', 'Close your eyes', 'Silver Spoon' and like last week 'Our time' has been playing on repeat a few times today. But once again, I just love all of her songs. I'm just not fussy with music I've realised, liking most genres, however there are the few exceptions of some artists that I just can't stand. But as a whole, I like most stuff, but today was a day to feature the darker pieces (as well as re-watching Vampire Diaries in between the singing marathons).
