I'm so happy with a select bunch of songs at the moment, as much as I love musicals and stuff I am very much into more relaxed songs at the moment, most of the songs I'm currently hooked on are found via a band who do covers in live shows and a few of their own (which aren't released which is annoying as I love them!) they are a fantastic band though, Jim and the Povolos. You can easily find their live stuff on youtube if you type that in.
Some of those songs are; White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes, Multiply by Jamie Lidell, River of Dreams by Billy Joel. Check out the youtube videos of the band for their originals and other songs, I strongly advise it.
But I'm also loving just people playing music on the street, when I hear it, it just makes me in a lot better mood, having the confidence to just play your music in a random spot in a busy place, I find, is a lovely thing. I love it so much that it's on the list of things that make me instantly happy. It can make a less than appealing place seem so much interesting and alive.

Busy Bees
So far the time from which I've left school has been good, last week especially as it was a busy but fun week, including two concerts, musums in London and a beach trip with lots of friends! It was a good week, and this week seems to be off to a good start too! I have got nagging thoughts of things I know I should do but it can wait.
I'm also going to one of the midnight showings of Harry Potter when it comes out which I am very excited about as the film will be amazing, not as good of the book, and it will be sad but I am still very excited about it. Then off for the weekend for a post-wedding party which should be nice as my step brother and sister are also coming down for a while.
Normally I'll have something more interesting to say, and while I was in London I was thinking about things a lot, especially how I felt about being in a big city on my own and how confident I was with that. The answer was not very for most of the time, though towards the end I got more comftable with it and remembered why I love London. It was as simple as a man playing piano at the train station, and people going around on rollarblades. Julia Albains book was my salvation why I was there, feeling ok with going places on my own. But I am glad to be back doing things with my friends now, and the two weeks of freedom are now closer and I am starting to organise fun things to do.
On another note, listen to Darren Criss' album Human. Its amazing, and I've heard it performed live so I should know. He has a very calming voice, and writes beautiful songs.
