She's Leaving Home

I know I already blogged about the Sgt. Pepper album but I can't help that I have fell in love with this song all over again. I forgot about this song until I was stalking my own facebook and I found this gem. My friend Sean showed me this in 8th grade and I was so hooked. It was sad but I loved the melody. I love how Paul Mcartney sings the words in the background like we gave her most of our lives, homeeeee, byee byee. It really adds to the song. I think it's a cello that is playing but omg it is so beautiful. I can't even begin to say how much I love it. Also I didn't know that this was based on a true story! Idk I'm just in love with this song and it's been on repeat this whole entire week. 

Joni Mitchell

When you first showed us this album I was like ehhh... but then once she starting to hit high notes I was like WOOOWZA! Me and Pj were like dang that's legit! There was something about each and every song that I liked. I'm going to blog about my top three moments.

1) River- the jingle bell intro was so nice. I love how she sang "It's coming on Christmas, They're cutting trees. They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace." Also when she sang fly and she went up I was like jadkfhdskjfhjsdkfjksdhfjksdhf what the heck that is so good!

2) My Old Man- wow. I love everything about this song. The way she sings it and how easily she goes up and down is amazing. It's my favorite song on the album. In love with the very beginning and the very end.

3) California- It made me miss California so much. I felt like this song spoke to me and Kinzy the most. I see California as my home as well. The way she sings California is gorgeous! I will totally download this for the airport ride to Cali this year.

Thanks for introducing her to me Mr.A!

Let it Be

This is my mom's favorite album. Well actually the only reason it is, is because her favorite song Let it Be is on it. I like the song too but every time I think of it, I get flashbacks to eight grade where Ms. Lanzetta made us sing it and I remember how much we butchered it. Any who the only song I knew before I checked the album out was Let it Be but now I really like the song Get Back. I think I heard it on my uncle's Ipod once but nevertheless I still really like it.

Also I was reading Cracked and I found out that the Beatles were going to use 
this album cover. THANK GOD IT NEVER HAPPENED BECAUSE WTF

Boyz N Motion

There were my very first boy band. They're not even real but they are a fictional band in my favorite childhood show 'That's So Raven'. There were three band members. Ricky, Trey and JJJ (the last J is silent).
They had one hit single that every girl still remembers to this very day. If you listen to it now you would be like wtf is this crap but back when I was like 6 this was just too cool. The only reason I remember this is because I was having a That's So Raven marathon.

Remix Manifesto

First off I would just say that Girl Talk is really awesome and I would love to go see them one day! Second of all my opinion of people getting sued for copyrighting songs is that it's ridiculous! Unless they are taking the entire thing and then claiming it as their own it's not really copyrighting. It's like how you can paraphrase things in your essays but you can't plagiarize. That's the best thing I can compare it to! Like if that's the case you would have to sue every single person ever who made a cover of your song!

Pitch Perfect

I really enjoyed this movie! I've watched it 3 times already and can quote it line for line. It's really funny but the main reason I like it is because of it's amazing soundtrack! The movie has the best mashups and every ones voices gets put to the test! My favorite part of the movie is the riff-off. I think the rules are the songs have to fit the category and you have to come in on one of the other teams word. It's really interesting and I wish we played a game like this during choir or something! The result is fantastic!

Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath

I liked listening to them in class today. One of the main reasons I know about Led Zeppelin is because on Pandora on my Queen and Beatles station it always plays. The song that I know off the top of my head is Stairway to Heaven and the Immigrant Song. My mom has this on her ipod which is where I found out about it and I found the Immigrant Song on Pandora! I really liked it so I made a new station for just Led Zeppelin
.My favorite song by them.


The way I found out about Black Sabbath was through Guitar Hero with my brother. He played it 24/7 and it got stuck in my head so from time to time I start humming it. The only song I know is Iron Man and how it goes.

The Beatles

The reason I'm blogging about the Beatles yet again is because I wanted to use this gif
I found it on Imgur at 5 in the morning during winter break and I have been saving it for this special occasion. What more can I say about the Beatles that I haven't already said? I have new favorites and that's about it. I started listening to my Beatles station again and I decided to not skip over anything and I discovered a lot of new songs I've never given the time of day before like "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Live and Let Die"I know this isn't by the Beatles as a whole but just Paul McCartney but it was in the station and he's a Beatle so there! 

Dang how did I ever pass this gem before? Paul McCartney's voice really surprised me in this one!I also really the guitar in this one. Or at least I think it's the guitar. This is just an all around great song for me.

So is Live and Let Die. It makes me want to to stop holding grudges.
