Battle Scars

This is probably an incredible song when going through a break-up, but since I'm not going through a break-up, I'm finding 'Battle Scars' an incredible song to just dance around the house to. Dancing around the house is how I spend most of my spare time to be honest, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I still sing into my hairbrush and do the best air guitar the world would ever see... one day I should learn how to play the guitar so I can put my excellent air guitar skills into practice.

Anyway, I realise that I'm really getting off topic, especially since Guy Sebastian's 'Battle Scars' really isn't an air-guitar-like song. Far from it actually. Instead it has such a strong beat, beginning with the piano and then the drums and also the clapping; a beat that you cannot listen to this song without bopping around, whether you are sitting down and typing a blog (um... like I am now) or if you are blaring your music out because you finally have the house to yourself and singing out the lyrics at the top of your lungs (which I did a bit earlier today while preparing dinner).

I'm not a fan of full on rap, however I don't mind it when it is incorporated in songs that have other elements to it, for example Linkin Park or The Script etc. And I think Lupe Fiasco's rapping works really well because it builds up to the mind-blowingly atmospheric chorus, which sounds amazing live. Such. A. Good. Song!
