Fearless

I feel like I haven't done this in ages. I really enjoyed doing this and I will release the results soon. But its the start of the March and the end of the month of music, which is a shame. But as promised I am going to write a post to.

Fear: A feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger.

Fearless: A lack of fear.


Well those are the official definitions but being fearless has nothing to do with having a lack of fear its about knowing that there is something more important then your fear. Fear can be about anything: telling the truth, buying a home or even asking someone out and that's why this song is so amazing.


So, its time to throw everything on the line, to have no regrets, to speak now, to get stoned (no don't do that - John you totally ruined it for me) because your future is still unwritten: It's time to be FEARLESS.

Get Stoned


Hi people of Kris' blog, as some of you may or may not know I'm from Scotland and a keen guitarist and pianist, yeah strange mix.

Yet I think both of these wonderful instruments have a great amount of uses for powerful emotional messages that artists can use to help raise awareness on subjects, a song I'm going choose for this post is a wonderful song called "Get Stoned" by a wonderful band called Hinder.

Now, I'm very much against the use of drugs, and this song really doesn't promote drug taking much at all but what I love about this song is it has such a good rhyme to it, a 'partyish' feel, and a feeling that no matter what you just gotta go on and have fun with life.



 Life is a strange thing, you can spent years trying to guess what the meaning is and not come any closer, for the truth is no one really knows, whether you believe in god created it, or an evolutionist, no one really knows why life formed. Or if there truly is a meaning or not.

What I love about this song is it really can just pick you up even when life just isn't going your way. I often listen to this song and it's just one of those.songs that you can sing along with, it draws you in, offers you a glance of brilliance, of happiness, of just feeling good, that's what I believe songs are about.

It doesn't matter what songs you like, whether it's metal, pop, or even classical, if it even draws you in for a moment, if it inspires you to do great things, or just even make you feel good then the song has done its purpose.

Often, when I need a hit of inspiration, for ether school work, making a new song, or just when I feel low, a great song is all it takes to lift me up most of the time, music is just a wonderful tool.

Now this is me signing off, but I'd like to leave you a awesome quote:

"Life is like a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once. Make sure you don't regret what you brought"

Unwritten

Hi, I'm Amy. I just turned 15 (18th February 2012) and I believe that life is too short to be an emotional wreck and if your not happy you should do something about it.



This song is about being able to choose your own life and that its never too late to change it. So for this year here are my goals:

  • Get a year older
  • Don't let my GCSE's stress me out
  • Have fun and live MY life
My theory for life is that it is like a rabbit; it goes up & down and loves carrots. The carrot is the rabbits reward for going up and down and not giving up.

Don't forget your future is still unwritten.

PS: I love that soul choir!!!

You Belong in a Teenage Love Story

Hi guys! Happy Valentines Day!

I do sort of like Valentines Day not because you get to spend it with someone special because you should do that everyday anyways, but because you can see it. People celebrating it, whilst watching a film, whilst driving in a car. It just lets you focus on what's important.

But since its Month of Music, I tried (and failed) to make a mashup of some love songs and because its also really bad I also made a playlist of some of my favourite love songs so enjoy and even if you don't have somebody to spend Valentines day with this year: you can spend it with meeee.


Kris.
PS: Happy Birthday to my friend Abi!

Speak Now

We have all had a time in our life where we wish we had spoken out and said something, but the only thing that's stopping us is the response we think we will get.


Taylor Swift's amazing talent for writing incredibly accurate lyrics has made her music so real which is what, in my opinion, makes her so attractive to her fans.

Speak Now is a song that highlights a moment in everybody's life in which they regret never speaking up to someone. It makes you think what would to happened if you had, had the courage speak up. The songs reaches out telling you that instead of keeping something locked up that you should follow your heart and if you don't get the result you wanted then at least you spoke your heart.

You will at least know you did everything you could, so be brave and Speak Now.

Much love,
Tina Vidmar xxxx



I must admit I do love this post: If it's your favourite don't forget to vote for it at the end of the month.

No Regrets

Hey guys! I want you to think as good old incy wincy spider as your inspiration in life. As weird as it may seem he has a good story. The poor 'fellah' keeps trying to climb up that water spout but then comes the rain and washes him out.

But does he give up?

NO! 'Cuz out comes the sunshine and dries up all the rain and incy wincy spider climbs the spout again. Incy never gives up and keeps fighting forward not thinking about the past but setting his own goals and heights. You never know maybe incy wincy will get to the top one day. But he has no regrets and will always keep climbing.




"Don't tell me that the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon."
Live life to the full, live it to the last breath and you won't have any regrets.

Love Gemma. X

I met a spider called Wilbert before he was sweet. I'm sure you will agree with me that was an amazing post and there is still more to come!
