January is the worst month of the entire year. I hear this being said every year by people but never really understood why January was so depressing but this year I have most definitely joined the group of fed-up-of-winter-summer-craving Brits. Its such a horrid time of year when all your wages have gone towards Christmas presents for other people and the sun just doesn't want to show its face. England is sooooo cold at the moment and its not the exciting kind of cold where its snowing and everything feels Christmassy its the freezing-at-the-bus-stop-at-8-in-the-morning kind of cold.
Anyway rant over, I’m looking forward to February, a week off at half term which will consist of lots of cinema and shopping trips with my girls <3
I am totally loving this week’s UK number 1 as it is none other than my favourite song of the moment, Grenade by Bruno Mars. I first heard this song in early November before the music video was released and fell in love with it. I really liked his first single Just The Way You Are as well but, as with many other songs that get played constantly on the radio, I got a bit bored with it. The music video for Grenade is absolutely brilliant and just makes me love the song even more (if that's even possible). I like how it has a strong meaning and the lyrics tell a story. I am definitely going to be buying his album this weekend as I also like the sound of some of his other songs including The Other Side featuring Cee Lo Green and B.o.B. I am really impressed with how good his song writing is as he has also written some other little chart toppers and hits including Billionaire (Travie McCoy), Wavin’ Flag (K’naan), Nothing On You (B.o.B), Forget You (Cee Lo Green) and Right Round (Flo-Rida.) I also think he has quite a unique voice and sound to his music which is fairly different to everything else that is around at the moment.
I was really pleased when I heard this announced by Chris Moyles on Monday morning as the UK’s number 1 as I was expecting it to be Jessie J’s Do It Like a Dude which I am not a big fan of and unfortunately the lyrics are very catchy :/ So I was quite surprised that this was number 2 as it had been on the radio non stop and I hadn't heard Grenade on it very much. I think Adele might make the top spot on Sunday with her new single Rolling In The Deep, its an absolute amazing comeback and I am excited to hear her new album as well.. .as you can tell I LOVE music!
I'm so glad Wednesday is over, only 2 more days of school until the weekend :D
Love & Hugs.. .
