The Kooks

It's a music post! I thought I'd talk about a band that are haunting my iPod.. The Kooks...

They're an English indie pop band with a flare for originality, and a cool urban vibe. Formed in Brighton, East Sussex, 2004, the band has gone from strength to strength in the music industry, signed to Virgin Records just three months after forming. Their first album- Inside/Inside Out was amazingly successful- achieving quadruple platinum status in the UK within a year and picking up a nomination at the Brit Awards for their single: 'She Moves In Her Own Way.' This band is so unique, cool and have a great style. Here's some of their most successful songs:

She Moves In Her Own Way

                                                                          Naive

                                                                 Do You Wanna

Which of their songs is your fave? Do you like The Kooks?

Wherever you will go

I have fallen in love. This song is AMAZING. Have you ever seen the Twinings tea advert? This is the song in the background. It was originally done by a band called The Calling, but this girl did a cover of it for the advert. You will be blown away.

Don't you just wish you sang like that?

It's black and white.

I haven't posted a song in ages! Here's my new one, 'It's black and white'...

When he doesn't call

And your phone's not dead

When you ask your Mum

And she shakes her head

It is that simple

When he cancels yet again

Just read the signs

Deal with the pain

You're not too different

Oh, it's happened to you

You'll kid yourself it hasn't

But know that it's the truth

You're needing an escape

But there's not one in sight

There's an answer there.......

It's black and white.

When you're, sat on the bus

And you know he's there

But he's not calling

Just got an empty stare

Don't lose your pride

Don't get off track

Or are you trying?

To get him back........

You're not too different
Oh, it's happened to you
You'll kid yourself it hasn't
But know that it's the truth
You're needing an escape
But there's not one in sight
There's an answer there.......
It's black and white.

Throw yourself
Out of the door
Stop checking messages
When you're not sure
Give yourself time
Come see the light
The reason's clear....
It's black and white.

You're not too different
Oh, it's happened to you
You'll kid yourself it hasn't
But know that it's the truth
You're needing an escape
But there's not one in sight
There's an answer there.......
It's black and white.

It's black and white.

 

Songs with stories :)

I am a dedicated listener to my iPod and adore songs, they lift you up and make you think clearly! But recently I realised I've been missing out on all the videos, so went on YouTube to have a look. I particularly love the songs with videos that tell a story:

You Belong With Me, Taylor Swift

Last Friday Night, Katy Perry

Someone Like You, Adele

Your fave songs with stories behind them? Which is your fave from above?

Pressure

So, hey! The thing for today is another song. It's called Pressure.....

I never, knew I'd need,
A place to, believe,
I never, knew there was,
That pressure, it's so wrong.

You know I, can't help but,
Think 'bout things, which show up,
So when it, came around,
I couldn't, stand my ground...

You're running on a treadmill,
Everyone's telling you to run faster,
But when a girl's got too much on her back,
How long can you expect that back to last her?

You want to, get out there,
Feel wind in, your long hair
Climb a tree, feel the breeze,
Not sure if, I won't freeze.

I want to, feel more free
Not sure what, I could see
The pressure, everywhere,
There's too much, it's unfair!

You're running on a treadmill,
Everyone's telling you to run faster,
But when a girl's got too much on her back,
How long can you expect that back to last her?

Loading up on my back...
Pressure.
Can't get, off the track...
Pressure.........

You're ruuning on a treadmill,
Everyone's telling you to run faster,
But when a girl's got too much on her back,
How long can you expect that back to last her?

Till next time!

Older One

Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are you the youngest? Or the oldest? I am in the middle, with two younger siblings and one older sister. Sometimes its great not being the oldest! Sometimes I hate it. So I wrote a song about it...

She's the princess
Got all the dresses
She's hard to please.

Sometimes I like her
Sometimes I fight her
Won't let me be.

Though I've tried I can't
Wish my life away
You can't pick your family
And I guess I've done okay.......

Its hard to suceed when you're being compared
She's done it all before, but why do I still care?
How do you know, if you're the best that's come?
If you're not the Older One.

Hogging the phone
She's always in the know
Compared to me

Thought her room's a mess
I'm the one who'll stress
But that's just me

I might get told to do
Things I'd rather not
But when it comes to siblings
You'll never be forgot...

It's hard to suceed when you're being compared
She's done it all before, but why do I still care?
How do you know, if you're the best that's come?
If you're not the Older One.

Life's a hopscotch
I just can't keep up
I edge a little closer
It's always not enough
It's not her fault or mine
But she's always far away
Why can't I be just once
Older for a day.........

It's hard to suceed when you're being compared
She's done it all before, but why do I still care?
How do you know, if you're the best that's come?
If you're not the Older One.

Older One
Older One...
Older One...
Older One.

So that's my Older One song. I'll write tomorrow!
