30 Day Song Challenge! Day 3

Day 3, one of your favourite songs

Okay, this is a really tricky one because I have so many favourites. There's so many songs in my iTunes that I've listened to on repeat for days and weeks on end. But right now, there's one that speaks to me a little more than the countless others that I love. And that is R5's Nine Lives.
The reason I've chosen this song is that it's really upbeat - and the beat is solid - with a catchy melody and funky bass line as well as a chorus that just gets to me every time. The lyrics express my feeling of having a lot that I want to do with my life, of an independence that I crave in doing those things and there's a particular lyric "free fall, I wanna feel it all" that expresses perfectly the fact that I want to experience as many feelings as I can. I associate this line especially with the (hopefully existent) feeling of falling in love again after the disaster that was my ex since I shut myself off from things like that for a long time after that and I want to be able to experience that feeling again.

I've rambled a bit I know but (having not actually slept last night) I'm pretty tired and I kinda have a lot of feelings about this song that I have trouble phrasing sometimes.

30 Day Song Challenge! Day 1


So just for the fun of it I'm going to try this. I'm not sure how well I'll do but I will be thinking about the tricky ones for a while! Some are obvious to me but others are not so easy.

However Day 1 is a song that describes me. And this was honestly the first song that came to mind:
Taylor Swift's A Place in this World. It's upbeat and fun with lyrics that I genuinely relate to, just a girl trying to find the place she fits into. Ultimately your groups of friends will change through your life and no one will be there through the whole of your life - you walk alone. But despite the mistakes you - or rather I - make, I will always get through it. I know I will because I've done it before. But this song always makes me feel okay about not knowing where my path will lead. Which is really nice (: So that's Day 1!
