Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do - Music - Five Of My Favourite Music Videos

Hi!!!

I'm one of those people that watches MTV a whole lot. I also listen to a lot of music on YouTube. All of this music video watching means I have of course ended up with favourites (and least favourites, but that's a post for another time). So, without any more rambling from me, here's a selection of the ones I like best.

Lonely Boy by The Black Keys

The sheer joy that this video brings me is probably immeasurable. I just love how simple it is. One guy dancing in a corridor somewhere. I know everyone jokes about keeping costs down, or having a forgotten deadline to meet, being the cause of this video, but I think its actually really smart, and it really does stay with you. So whatever the reason for its creation, you must watch it. Oh and the song is cracking too.

Fire by Kasabian

This is an amazing video. The concept is so smart and cool and it is brilliantly filmed. There is a clear story and it is a memorable one. If you're a fan of cowboy films, I think you'll appreciate it as this video definitely has Butch and Sundance vibes. I also really like the song, particularly in terms of the actual music.

The Greatest by Sia

I could have chosen any one of Sia's videos from recent years because they are all great. But The Greatest is one of my absolute favourites and it pays a beautiful tribute to those who lost their lives in the shooting in Orlando earlier this year. The choreography is amazing and so are all the dancers. Oh and the song rules all.

Ballad Of The Mighty I by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

This video. Honestly. As some of you may know, Noel Gallagher has said a few times before that he isn't a big fan of making music videos and this one takes that sentiment very seriously. The video itself is very good, it has an engaging narrative, it works well with the song and the direction is great. But my highlight is of course the humour at the beginning and end - it makes me laugh every time.

R U Mine by The Arctic Monkeys

Alex Turner and Co lip syncing and drumming while one the road is one of those things that you didn't know you needed until you you see it. It's so simple but so entertaining. I really liked all the songs on AM but I wasn't at all keen on a lot of the music videos produced to go alongside it however this one is gold.

I think that's everything then. I hope you enjoyed this post, and that you like the music videos as much as I do.

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do - Music - My Current Top 40 Faves.

Hi!!!

What's up, guys? I don't know about you, but I find that I listen to the radio a lot in the summer as I spend more time in the car, around the house, at barbeques and things like that. I thought I'd put together a little selection of my faves from this week's Top 40 for you to listen out for on the radio or just enjoy now because an eclectic playlist is more fun and if it meets my standards, hopefully you'll like it, too.

 

Middle by DJ Snake featuring Bipolar Sunshine

 

THIS SONG THO. I really love it - it has really chilled 90s vibes that blend seamlessly with fun electronic dance vibes and it works so well. It has a really interesting sound and I feel like I notice new things about it each time I hear it.

 

Can't Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake

 

If you've been on the lookout for your ultimate fun summer jam for 2016 then you can stop looking - THIS IS IT. It is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and it's definitely one to dance to. The video is super fun, and JT breaks out all the best dance moves, too.

 

Cheap Thrills by Sia

 

I think Sia is an incredibly talented songwriter and vocalist and this track is great. It is more upbeat lyrically than some of her others but its still unique. Also, Maddie Ziegler smashed that choreography in the video, as per.

 

I Took A Pill In Ibiza by Mike Posner

 

When I heard the first lines of this for the first time, I'll be honest, I was not feeling it. But actually, I've come to really like this song, both the original and the remix which is linked here as it is the one in the charts. It comes across as meaningful and honest and I love that.

 

No Money by Galantis

 

I don't normally like vocals like this but I think it really suits the song and it is super fun and sassy. It's definitely a great one for those 'windows down, singing along' moments in the car and I love that it doesn't take itself to seriously.

 

Ta Dah! That's all for today, so I hope you enjoyed and you think I've pointed you in the right direction for some good summer tunes.

What are your current favourites from the charts? Which songs do you think deserve to be in the charts that aren't? Do you have any suggestions for future posts? Let me know in the comments and I'll get back to you.

Thank you for reading. Have a good evening and if you're in the UK and you're registered, be sure to go out and vote.

 

Have an awesome day!
