My music taste is so diverse and changes so regularly, that I thought it would be sort of interesting to start a blog series where I talk about particular songs I love each month. My tastes in bands rarely change, I will listen to the same 3 or 4 every month etc… but songs…. that changes A LOT! So, here’s a little blog of songs I have on loop at the moment ❤
BACKFIRE – TYLER BRYANT & THE SHAKEDOWN
“What goes around comes around like a boomerang…”
Well well well…. this song is just so friggin’ SEXY! It is so BAD ASS! The way the bass, guitar & drums work together on this track is just to the point and hard hitting. This tune, is my “get me more confident” tune. I put on my best clothes, do my makeup and I feel like a Queen. Music should make you feel something. This song definitely makes me feel something.
SWEETEST EMOTIONS – MARCO MENDOZA
“There’s nothing else I could do, to keep my eyes set on you…”
I’m choosing this one over ‘Viva La Rock’ just because I personally feel that there is a little more too it. Viva La Rock was a little too basic in my opinion; however this track is so happy and warm… like, I can imagine blasting this with the roof down whilst driving along the beach. Marco has nailed this song lyrically – I’m not overly sure on the brass section in the chorus… but it does add another dimension. He’s really upped his game with this, if you’ve not ever listened to any of Mendoza’s solo stuff, this is a pretty decent place to start.
KILLING OF A FLASHBOY – SUEDE
“And that shitter with the pout won’t be putting it about no more…”
This is just top class Suede. Again, this is a track that makes me feel something! I feel sexy, and ambitious, my bad ass side really does unleash to this tune. Suede are a bit of an acquired taste I think, a bit like Marmite. I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re a bit of a new muso and like to play it safe – however, if you want something different, and can appreciate the musicianship and the lyrical genius, go ahead! Brett utterly nails the vocals on this, no one else can sing this for sure. There’s not much I can really add apart from it’s just an absolute classic.
ENTER SANDMAN – METALLICA
“Sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight…”
Metallica isn’t a band I often float towards – however, I’ve recently just felt in the mood for something heavier than my usual. Gets the blood pumping and the anger out you know. That riff though, corr, and the bass line… agh! YAAASSS! I reckon, even if you’re not into heavy stuff, you can still appreciate this belter – it’s got a catchy enough chorus that you’ll just eventually sing along, and by the end you’ll be headbanging. If you’re reading this, because you want something new to listen to and want to broaden your horizons… pick this one! Go rock to it right now. Unleash your inner bad ass.
ROLLIN’ STONED – GREAT WHITE
“It’s a wonder I’m still alive, can’t believe I ever made it through that ride…”
This is my bloody theme tune I swear!! This tune is so god damn bad ass… it’s just ME all over! I’ve had this on loop for far too long, and is my ultimate distraction… but like I said… this is MY song. Lyrically, musically it is everything I am about.
It kicks off with drum and bass, reeling you in… then that riff just captures you… it’s just rock at it’s greatest isn’t it. So Hollywood!
I have also made a playlist on Spotify called “TOP 5 : JODIE BOWIE” which I’ll be adding my Top 5 songs of the month to each month. So make sure you go and give it a follow etc so you can listen as well. Search for “jodieharris15“.
Also made a playlist on YouTube.
I hope you enjoyed this tasty blog and hope it inspires you to check out some different bands.
