My Response to the Me and Music Tag

Hello, my pretty shining people…

Although Sophie is on a hiatus at the mo I was tagged to do this post about 2 months ago, so in a timely fashion, I have now ransacked my Spotify playlists to produce this beauty. Happy reading, happy listening.

THE RULES

RULE N°1: Tag the creator (Sophie @ Me & Ink) so anyone can find their way to the full lists of prompts/graphics

RULE N°2: Choose how many prompts you want to do (up to 17). Free feel to use (or not use) the headings or the graphics (either old or new versions).

RULE N°3: Name 1-5 songs per prompt and have fun!

We Will Rock You- Queen. Because I remember my dad first playing this song to me and my sister Sophie on vinyl in our living room. Doesn’t get home-ier than that.

Ah where to begin. Musicians love to sing about love, but then, what else is there? Really?

Love of My Life- Queen. This song takes itself seriously but finding the love of your life is no laughing matter.

Say You Love Me- Fleetwood Mac. I have a love affair with Fleetwood Mac so I could actually include all their songs here, but for the sake of your sanity, let’s not.

Power & Break Up Song- Little Mix

Little Mix are my JAM! I love a good shimmy but these are my most powerful bops.

Welcome to the 60’s- Hairspray. I have seen Hairspray at the theatre and it was fabulous.

Always Remember us this Way- Lady Gaga

This is Me- Greatest Showman. Obviously. Though I do love the whole album.

(Is it cheating to say the Rain Sounds Playlist on Spotify?)

If yes, then alternatively July- Austin Myles Grant.

Mambo No.5 (a Little Bit of….)- Lou Bega. I remember dancing to this song in a Cinderella dress and twirling around until I felt sincerely sick. Oh to be 13 years old.

In My Car (I’ll Be The Driver)- Shania Twain. A classic from my childhood, me and my sister used to sing this- and still would if it came on the radio (which it wouldn’t because this song is too old, and too yee-haw for Heart Radio)

IDGAF- Dua Lipa. This song is attitude.

Wake up Boo!- The Boo Radleys. This song is sunshine.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun- Cyndi Lauper. Cyndi knew what she was talking about all those years ago. We all just wanna have fun.

Best of my Love- The Emotions. The catchiest, grooviest, most wonderful song.

If Not For You- George Harrison. A golden Beatle.

Wonderful Tonight- Eric Clapton. An old song now but luckily it’s timeless.

Forever Young- Alphaville. Tears.

Father and Son – Yusuf/Cat Stevens. More tears.

Landslide- Fleetwood Mac. Tears everywhere.

Time After Time – Cyndi Lauper. Heard this song in the movie ‘Military Wives’ and haven’t stopped singing it since. It’s been months. It may never cease.

No Judgement – Niall Horan. ‘bare foot and a bottle of wine’~ this song knows me.

The Axis of Awesome- 4 Chords. A lot of songs use the same 4 chords, these folks put them all in one absolute banger.

Love in the dark- Adele. ‘don’t try to change my mind, I’m being cruel to be kind’

Lover (Remix) [feat. Shawn Mendes]- Taylor Swift. ‘I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, but I want ’em all’

Falling- Harry Styles. ‘and I’m well aware I write too many songs about you’

Someone you Loved- Lewis Capaldi.

Don’t Start Now- Dua Lipa.

Angels- Robbie Williams. This was always the last song that played at my student night out at university, SO many memories of being sad the night was finishing but glad I was about to get loads of greasy carbs.

Go Your Own Way- Fleetwood Mac. My first solo drive in my new car was to IKEA to pick up some furniture. I listened to my new Fleetwood Mac album and this song came on whilst I took a wrong turn and got lost. Rather apt don’t you think.

(I Just) Died in Your Arms- Cutting Crew. Sophie sings this song all the time at home, when I think of it I always smile.

Holes- Passenger. Catchy.

Dreams- Fleetwood Mac. Dreamy.

Bohemian Rhapsody- Queen. MAMAAAAAAAAAAA.

Daddy lessons- Beyonce. Besides your bread and butter ‘single ladies’ I never really listened to much Queen B but then this song came on BBC Radio 2 -of all places- and I loved it.

Blue Wonderful- Elton John. I am a huge, huge, huge fan of Elton John. However, I never listened to his most recent material for fear of it not matching up to his olden goldies. But then I discovered the song Blue Wonderful and all that changed. The end.

*ALL FLEETWOOD MAC ALBUMS PLEASE*

You belong with me- Taylor Swift. After watching this music video I decided to steal this storyline and pass it off to Sophie as my own made-up idea, it was a peculiar time and she hasn’t trusted me since.

So, this has been a little taste of some of my music loves. I can only apologize for the amount of Fleetwood Mac that Sophie correctly predicted would be a main feature.

Thank you for reading and may music always bring you comfort and clarity.
