Why music is IMPORTANT to me

​
My favourite music is easy for me to write about. And I think everyone will already know that it is Disney music. I love Disney music and Disney movies.

I have three favourite songs. My first most favourite is from Tangled, about Princess Rapunzel. It's called "I see the light". It makes me feel happy when I hear it and I know all the words. I listen to Disney Princess music a lot.

Another one I love is from the movie Aladdin. It's the song when Princess Jasmine and Aladdin are on a magic carpet ride over the markets of Aggraba and Princess Jasmines castle. It's called "A whole new world" and Aladdin sings it to Princess Jasmine, it's when they start to fall in love.

I have another favourite that is “I just can't wait to be king” from the Lion King. The song is about Simba singing about how he can't wait to grow up and be king one day. The Lion King is one of my favourites movies to watch.

These are my three favourites songs but I love all Disney music and could listen all day long. My favourite thing to do in the car is to put on a Disney playlist and sing along.

This is Claire signing off, see you next week.
 
 
 
My favourite band is Slipknot and the song I like the most is Sulfur.
Slipknot is an American alternative metal band, founded in 1995 by percussionist Shawn Craban, bassist Paul Gray and vocalist Anders Colsefni.
There are 9 members in the band.
Members of Slipknot had played together in various metal bands since 1991.
Some of the members wear masks because it's a part of their identity, allowing them to “physically manifest the intense and dark themes of their music, transform their personas on stage, and express an animalistic freedom” (Slipknot website).
The name Slipknot was chosen during a band meeting after being proposed by Jordison, marking a turning point for them. 
They have made many songs together like Psychosocial, Duality, Before I Forget and Wait and Bleed.
I hope they come to Australia and I can go to their concert and dance all day.

When I was in my teenager years, I was a huge punk rock fan. The bands I use to listen to were My chemical romance, Linkin Park, The Used and Paramore. Most of their songs were on repeat on my iPod. 

My favourite song from my Chemical Romance is “I’m not okay”
At the start there’s a little speaking part which all of my friends would say.  It goes like this:- 
“You like D&D, Audrey Hepburn, fangoria, Harry Houdini and croquet you can’t swim, you can’t dance and you don’t know Karate, face it you’re never gonna make it 
I don’t wanna make it, I just wanna”
From the used, they were a little bit more grungey. 
My favourite song from My Chemical Romance is “Paralysed” and my favourite line in that song is how could a fist fight be romantic. Not sure why, but it stands out to me. 
The next band I loved is Linkin Park,  their older stuff was good, but their newer songs called “One more light” and “Heavy”, are my favourites. They both have great lyrics
“Who cares if one more light goes out, in the sky of a million stars, it’s flickers, flickers who cares when someone’s time runs out, well I do”.

Now that I’m writing I have remembered, 
“All time low” is another band I love and still listen to. My favourite song of theirs is “Remembering Sunday”, the whole song is just a sad vibe, sorry not sorry. 
Another song I like is called “I will follow you into the dark” by Death cab for cutie. 
The favourite lyric for me is “if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied, illuminate the No on their vacancy signs”. 
 
Anyway that was my teenager years in music. But now I listen to anything really, I do like Noah Cyrus, yes Noah not Miley. My favourite song of hers is “Lonely” and my favourite line is “and everyone’s dying, so I keep on trying”. 

At the moment my favourite songs are
Temporary by Eminem and Skylar Grey.
Somebody Save Me by Eminem and Jelly Roll
God needs the devil by  Jonah Kagen
The sound of silence by Disturbed
Twisted by Eminem, Skylar grey and Yelawolf 

My favourite remake songs are called 
“Last Resort” by Falling in reverse 
Take me home, country roads by Lana Ray Del.
But the one song that stays on my playlist every time is the Reason by Hoobstank. 
Thank you for rocking out with me, I hope you’ve picked up some new songs from these blogs. - Haley.


My favourite song is “Clint Eastwood” from Gorillaz
It’s nice to hear and smooth voice and I always listen to it in my life. Sometimes I like rock song or music but they’re cool voice and you all know what make me calm just music.  Bluetooth for my hearing aid and make me go back to sleep oh dear mama Mia. Anyway, I love music but I hear music in toilet oh lord why am I in toilet and listen to music. - TJ
 
 

My favourite music is Pop and I like Michael Jackson, Kylie Minogue and
Spice Girls. I have a CD of theirs and played it often.
I used to play the Village People and I loved the song YMCA. My favourite song by Michael Jackson is ABC and from Kylie is Spinning Around.

I have enjoyed writing this blog and listening to the group singing the songs.
What's your favourite song and why? - Ben 2 
 
 
What is Shan’s favourite song....

Just for fun before I get into my current favourite song, I'm going to tell you what my favourite song was when I was 5 or 6 years old, this was the Pre Delta era, around 1999 and it may shock some people. Drum roll please... it was All the Small Things by Blink 182, I would sing my little heart out to that song, I’m not kidding I put all my energy into singing that song and loudly too! I also enjoyed singing it into my Dad’s C.V. Radio, while 4 Wheel Driving to the other cars on that channel, usually it would be my dad’s friends and I'm sure they enjoyed the free concert not that they had a choice in the matter. I can’t remember why I loved the song I just know it was my jam.

I have many songs that I enjoy from many different genres of music, I’ve always tried to appreciate music from everywhere and I like listening to music in different languages too. However, when it comes down to it there is one song that I love with my whole heart and soul and have done since its release in 2003. The song is called Innocent Eyes and it’s by the lovely Delta Goodrem, I’m fairly certain I know this song off by heart it’s been over played and over sung in my house or really if I'm honest everywhere.

Innocent Eyes has been with me through all life's ups and downs, if there was a life event innocent eyes was and still is there with me and for me, it has been great to always have a musical support because I didn’t always know how to voice my concerns and emotions. Even when I was made fun of for liking and listening to Delta, I still listened to her endlessly because Delta’s music and especially Innocent Eyes gave me something to sooth my anxious and overactive mind. I also was made fun of for everything I liked so really it made no difference anyway. I was and still am fiercely loyal to Delta Goodrem no matter what.

I feel that this song has deep connections to my childhood. In my middle primary school days, I could come home and play my innocent eyes CD as loud as my mum would permit, I could put all my emotions into singing and making up dances to innocent eyes. I feel like Delta Goodrem has unknowingly gotten me through a lot in life and I’m forever grateful to Delta and her music. I will even one day get a Delta tattoo, I just need to settle on which lyrics to get.
To quote Delta; with love and light,
Shan.

Today we are talking about music and my band of choice is Southern Sons, what a surprise. 
“Heart in Danger” is my favourite because it’s an uplifting song and it has a very young Jack Jones with his long hair. 
The song was released on 23rd of July 1990 and did you know that Jack Jones was only 19 years old. Further, did you know that Jack was in the film clip “That’s Freedom” with John Farnham. 
Jacks real name is Irwin Thomas. 
Did you know that before Southern Sons started Jack was in the band with John Farnham and everybody thinks that Jack and John sounds very similar. Did you know that before Southern Sons started Jack Jones was in the band called “Get off the cat” then “Survival”. 
This is Ash rocking out see you next week.


 
Dear readers, this week’s  topic is what is your favourite song or type of music.
Let me start by telling you about my favourite artist, his name is Eminem. My favourite songs are “Lose Yourself” “Till I collapse, “Sing for the moment” and “Cleaning out my closet”.
I started listening to his music in my early teens and haven’t looked back. I like his music because I sometimes can relate and find it easy to listen to. I love that I can listen to  Eminem no matter what mood I'm in. Eminem has a movie called 8 MILE which I love and now he also has a documentary called Stan but I haven't watched it yet.

Hello and welcome to a very musical blog. Today we are talking about our favourite music. I love RNB. I love going to RNB Fridays (Fridayz live as it’s now known). I love Usher, Sean Paul. Shaggy, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown just to name a few. I feel like I can be transported to my own world when listening to music and not worry about anything. I also used to love the Spice Girls as a kid. I love going to concerts where I can listen to the music and lose myself in the lyrics. I wish nightclubs etc were more accessible so I can enjoy the music more freely.  How do you like to relax? 
Keep being awesome,
Ben 1 
 
 
Dear readers, how are you? Today's topic is what is your favourite song, artist or kind of music and I have chosen Delta Goodrem. In 2001 debut with "I don't care" but it was not successful. Her first hit song was "Born to Try" and it came from her debut album Innocent Eyes. She has recorded many albums and singles and my favourite songs are Paralyzed, Back to your heart, Lost without you, Wings and last but not least, Enough. I like singing and dancing to her music and she has an amazing voice and for those who don't know I went to one of her concerts and she used to be a judge / coach on The Voice. 


I am also a big Swiftie. I love all of her songs but my favourite songs are Love story”, “Cruel Summer, “Shake it off”, “Lover”,  “I knew you were trouble” and “Blank Space”. I hope one day I will be able to go to one of her concerts. 
Thank you for reading my blog readers, this is Swifty Beth signing off until our next adventure.  Stay tuned for our next blog.  



Do you have a favourite song? Well, if you read my blog, you’ll find out what my favourite songs and music are.
I like “Can’t Stop the Feeling” by Justin Timberlake. People can dance to this song, and you can play it at a kids’ birthday party, adults’ birthday party, or even at a disco. I don’t enjoy performing like dancing or singing, but this song brings me joy. Did you know it also played on Smooth 91.5 radio? This song was used in the Trolls movie and was released in 2016.


I also like “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber, which was also released in 2016. I love this song because it is calm and has a beautiful message. It’s rarely played on the radio, but I like listening to it every year on my birthday on YouTube. It makes me smile, especially on my special day.


I remember requesting this song when I did one-on-one support with Cindy. We went to a disco, but I didn’t dance. Cindy asked me, “What is your favourite song?” I typed “Love Yourself” on her phone, and the DJ played it.


Another favourite of mine is “Roar” by Katy Perry. I love this song because it’s about being brave and staying strong even when things get hard. You can play this song when you’ve had a difficult day, or even at a party. It was also used in Just Dance, although I just watched it and didn’t copy the dance. I like playing this song on my birthday too because it’s a happy song.


I usually listen to the radio during exercise. I like Fox FM, where they play current songs and R&B from the 2000s.


I also love listening to Smooth 91.5. You might be surprised that a young girl listens to middle-aged songs, but I enjoy this station because they play music all day with the slogan “More music and less talk.” Many of the songs feel familiar because my dad listened to this station in his car too. It’s a good radio station to listen to when you’re stuck in traffic, instead of getting grumpy.


Smooth Radio is suitable for people born in the 60s, 70s, and 80s because they can listen to songs from their childhood but anyone can enjoy it. A fun fact: Michael Bublé used to be on Smooth Radio advertisements in 2012.


Do you like these songs and radio stations too? Tell me in the comments. If you do, we share the same taste in music!
