This weekend has been SO good! I don’t think I’ve ever had
so much sun! And then Andy Murray won Wimbledon! Now I feel bad for thinking he
wasn’t going to do it! Funniest part of the tournament for me though was David
Cameron clapping after the match ended, and Alex Salmond standing behind him
waving a Scottish flag like HE’S OURS! It’s been seventy seven years since Fred
Perry won and now Andy Murray wins on the seventh of the seventh. Also, he’s
seven days older than Djokovic. 77 years, 7/7, 7 days older… coincidences? I
THINK NOT! Also enjoyed seeing Bradley Cooper in the crowd *sigh* and I loved
seeing all the reactions when the game finished – I love how sport brings
everyone together.
I think that Wimbledon was as great as it always has been. I know there was the thing about slippery grass and all that but it cleared up pretty quickly. The only think that bugged me was that they made an issue about Roger Federer’s trainer colour but then Serena Williams was wearing coloured underwear – I mean, WHUT?! If all clothes should be white, then ALL CLOTHES SHOULD BE WHITE – not purple! Was also slightly disappointed about the Novak Djokovic footwear issue. If he’d been wearing the same trainers all tournament, then surely they shouldn’t have made him adjust them for the final. The whole thing just seemed a little petty. -_- Other than that, I loved the crowds and the atmosphere, and the fact that there were quite a few shock exits – all adds to the fun!
Anyway, the sun hasn’t gone away yet but it sucks because
instead of getting brown outside, I’m stuck in a stifling hot office! This is
not fair!
This is a list of songs your summer will not be complete
without. An eclectic mix, but variety is the spice of life, no?!
Reload - Sebastian Ingrosso
& Tommy Trash ft. John Martin
-
I’ve only heard this once but I’m already in
love with it.
Feel So Close –
Calvin Harris
-
Calvin Harris is basically awesome and so is
this song.
True Love – Pink ft.
Lily Allen
-
Love the video for this single and love that
Lily Allen’s on the track –makes it sound even better. It’s also nice to know
that they wrote the song together. I hate it when people do collaborations and
they just sort of jump in on the track with a few ‘yeah’s’ and ‘yo’s’. A
collaboration should really have proper input from both artists and this song
is a prime example of that. It’s also really catchy!
Summer of ’69 – Bryan Adams
-
Old, I know but how can anyone go through summer
without hearing this?! I love Bryan Adams! He may even be a distant relative of
my alter ego! But seriously, this is a song that should never fade away - It’s
too damn good!
My Songs Know What
You Did In The Dark – Fall Out Boy
-
This is the first song by the band that I really
like.
Love Me Again – John
Newman
-
Such a soulful anthem! I thought he was good
when he hooked up with Rudimental on Feel
The Love but this song is outstanding! I adore his voice and he seems like
a really nice guy. I love it when you look at someone and they have such a
different voice than you’d expect.
Millionaires – The Script
-
I feel like I’m just including this one to
promote the single because I’ve been listening to it from the #3 album for ages
and to my ears it’s not particularly fresh. But it still is a sweet song and
nice for when the party’s over and the barbecue’s been put away.
Another Love – Tom
Odell
-
So glad he got to #1 on the album chart last
week because he’s got an awesome voice and this song is brilliantly done. It’s
not a hot summer tune but, like Millionaires,
it’s good for when you have a moment to spare.
Gentleman – The
Saturdays
-
Don’t usually like songs by these girls but I
liked the American feel of this track and it’s very summery and bubbly so… a
thumbs-up from me! I can’t believe that What
About Us charted higher than this one!
Opposites – Biffy Clyro
-
The only other song I’ve heard from these guys
is When We Collide and that’s only
because X Factor winner Matt Cardle did a cover of it a couple of years ago.
What happened to him anyway? Last I heard was Gary Barlow saying he was a nice
guy! Anyway, love this song by Biffy Clyro. It’s just really nice to listen to!
Gives You Hell – The All American Rejects
-
I never used to listen to this band AT ALL. But
a few days ago I heard Jameela Jamil on BBC Radio One say that this was a good
song so I decided to humor myself by listening to it. And now I love it. It’s
so funny and it fits perfectly. I just love the bit where they’re like “Truth
be told, I miss you; Truth be told, I’m lying!” In an odd sort of way, it just
makes my day.
