post twenty-two; current favourites BESIDES the beatles and one direction.

I'm thinking that I complain too much about what kind of music I don't like, so in this post, I'm going to write down songs and artists that I DO like, and I think should be checked out.

Kate Nash is fairly popular, but I'm not sure how many people actually listen to her. Her music puts a smile on my face, and while the lyrics aren't too great, it's nice to listen to. One song in particular is Merry Happy; her accent is very distinct and there's a lot of repetition, but it's a nice, simple song that happens to last five or so minutes, but it's worth it.



Ed Sheeran is also FANTASTIC. I really recommend you check him out; lots of people say that he's too "mainstream" or he's overrated, but he's really not. He is literally the epitome of perfect lyricist, and he sings like an angel. I didn't think I would like his music at first, but when I actually took a listen to it, I really liked it. Here's one of his best songs, you may have heard it before, check it out! I chose a video with lyrics across the screen because I want to emphasize how great of a writer he is.


There's a song by the Script that EVERYONE knows, well, a lot of people do anyway. It's called Breakeven, and it's fairly popular, but I figured I'd put it up anyway. The vocal performance is outstanding and the lyrics, again, are amazing. Maybe I'm just especially drawn to songs with better lyrics, but here's Breakeven, take a listen if you haven't before.
The last song I'm going to put up that I feel needs to be mentioned is another Ed Sheeran song called "Drunk", and the lyrics are, once again, fantastic. It's very meaningful, and I can't believe it's not more popular than it is. I sound really redundant in this blog, but I'll be writing more about different things after this one. Anyway, here's Drunk.
I hope you enjoy these, comment and let me know what you think.
