Week 12 : Nirvana

 Oh my gosh guys, last blog post! This is CRAZY but also so exciting ;))  So for the last week I decided to go with the oh so iconic band Nirvana, and the even more iconic song, Smells Like Teen Spirit.  Now lately I feel like some people only know this songs exists because of TikTok, I mean one time I was playing this song in my dorm and my roommate goes, " Hey this is that song off of TikTok right?", was kind of upset by that statement if I'm being honest.  Anyway lets get down to business, the song starts of kind of soft for a rock band, but 5 seconds later you get all the heavy metal that is thrown into Nirvana's mix and the song just comes alive, you can feel the beat in your bones.  Smells Like Teen Spirit reminds me of so many summer nights driving through the canyon with friends, windows down, speakers blaring and just jumping into the hidden lake, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

    I also can't believe that this is the last blog post--so crazy!! But I love that memory you associate with "Smells Like Teen Spirit". There is no greater feeling than a summer night like that when you're with the right people and you've got the right music playing. Heavy Metal and Rock in general has never been my cup of tea but I will say that this is just a classic.

Week 8 : The Rolling Stones

Image
 To start of this 'amazing' Monday, we are jamming out to THE ROLLING STONES!  One of the best 'old school' bands that I grew up on as a kid, and lets just say I was very excited when I saw this on the songs of the week list.  Just by the very beginning of the song you are already in such a good mood, and just completely vibing with the characters in the song.  I should probably tell you what song I picked for this week now that I think about it, the song I chose for this week is Honky Tonk Women by The Rolling Stones.  This songs brings back a lot of summer memories for me from my childhood.  The one memory I can place with this song was in the summer when I was 7 or 8, me and cousins were learning how to skateboard in front of my grandparents house on a hot summer day.  We just finished drawing all over the concrete with chalk and finished an otter pop, then you hear the stereo from the backyard blaring this song while me and my cousin crashed into e...

Week 7 : The Beach Boys

 Can't believe this is week 7, only a couple more weeks left!!  Anyway this week I chose one of the many amazing songs by the one and only BEACH BOYS!  The first time I ever heard The Beach Boys was on a CD my dad gave me (along with lots of other old bands and artists I absolutely adore) when my parents gave me a CD player for a birthday when I was younger.  The Beach Boys bring back a lot of great memories for me, and the song I chose this week was Fun, Fun, Fun.  Right off the bat you get summer vibes in my opinion, no other song gives off this kind of nostalgic feeling of being under the song all day.  The song talks about how this girl isn't gonna stop having fun with her life no matter what her dad says, she is just living her best life.  The melody and tune is so upbeat and lively, and the background singers add even more serenity to the song itself.  Listening to this song you can picture all of the fun times these people have just writing...

Week 5 Blog Post : Frank Sinatra

Image
 Nancy (With the Laughing Face) by Frank Sinatra reminds so much of an older love song, which is exactly what it is in my opinion.  He repeatedly brings up this special person, and how much he can't possibly survive without her.  Bringing up the emotions of the kisses they share, how her 'laughing face' can brighten up any day, changing winter into summer.  He calls her an angel a couple times, that tell me he can't live without her.  Saying that any other girl could never make him feel all the emotions she does, and he doesn't want to be with anyone other than her.  To feel the love he feels for this girl, I only dream of finding one day, I mean who doesn't want to find pure, true love?  The instruments in the background only make the song better, they provide peace and serenity.  They give off a lovey dovey kind of feeling you would find in an older movie, when the main guy finally gets the girl he has been after the whole time, realizes she is ...
