My Comprehensive Guide to my Favourite All Time Low songs

Hiya Guys,

So I am going to finally get to see All Time Low in concert next Friday in Manchester, however it means that Music Friday may have to be moved as there is no way I can write the post on the Friday night. I thought that, to celebrate this momentous occasion that I've been waiting for for about 6 years, that I would write about my 5 top songs from All Time Low.
Unfortunately, with 6 studio albums and countless numbers of EPs, this has been one of the hardest tasks that I've had to do. So, please do not be mad if one of your favourite songs hasn't been mentioned. I most likely love it but it would've taken forever so I'm picking one song off each album, except The Party Scene that I'm going to substitute with Put Up or Shup Up and Dirty Work has been sacrificed (even though I love every song on it).

So here we go, in album chronological order:

1. Put Up or Shut Up EP
Jasey Rae

 This song is one of those songs that put a huge smile on my face whenever it comes on whether it be the EP version or the acoustic one. Lyrically amazing but also endearing in terms of the melody and the feeling you get when it gets to specific verses. 'I've never lit a match, with intent to start a fire, but recently the flames, are getting out of control,' is one of those lyrics that really hits home and you can relate it to your life somehow. It's so different live and the use of the electric guitars give it much more of an edge than it sounds acoustically but both are as effective but in different ways.

2. So Wrong, It's Right
Dear Maria, Count Me In

 Sorry if you believe me to be a cliche for picking such a well known and mainstream ATL song but, you have to admit, it is one of the catchiest and best songs that they've ever released. It's my go to song if I'm ever sad because its just pure cheek from the lyrics to the mental music video that never ceases to make me chuckle. From the starting guitar strum, you know straight away that you're going be jumping around your room like a mad person and it's because every part of this song works perfectly together.

3. Nothing's Personal
Stella

This song is probably less mainstream but is probably one of the top songs out of all these songs on this list and it didn't become top until a long time had passed since the album was released. I don't really know why except the fact that I love being able to belt it and, on the chanting bit, I feel like jumping on my bed and clapping my hands to the rhythm. There's also a lot of shoulder shakes and the feeling I get when I watch it live is second to none. Crazy to think that such an amazing song came from a brand of beer but thank God!

4. Nothing's Personal
Lost in Stereo

 This is my work out song that I always start with at the gym because it literally gets me so energised and pumped to want to actually do so exercise. The upbeat drum introduction really sets the tone for the rest of the song and I'm not surprised that this song is always on the set list for the show because it's one of those songs that you just have to dance to and jump up and down like there's no tomorrow. The words aren't hugely difficult in the chorus but the lyrics in the verses make up for the simplicity which is actually quite effective anyway.

5. Don't Panic (Including Don't Panic: It's Longer Now)
Paint You Wings

 This is probably one of the less mainstream songs that All Time Low are known for and another track which has become on e of my favourites until recently. The first line is so confusing as it doesn't tell you anything as it doesn't link in with the title but that's what I love about it and a lot of other songs by them. The melody to the song is so catchy and he constant change of pitch, tempo and style keeps the song interesting and a tune that you just somemetimes hum. It took a long time to pick from this album as it's probably one of their best ones but I like the diversity of this song.

6. Future Hearts
Missing You

I fell in love with this song as soon as I heard it and not just becomes it makes me cry every time I hear it on my phone or live. It's lyrically deep and although it initially sounds quite dark, the actual message of it is that nothing's your fault. Do what you want to get those emotions out and, even if you're in your darkest place, there's always light so don't give up trying to feel better. It's that song that makes you feel part of something bigger and that someone actually gives a damn about you. It's sang beautifully with Alex taking main vocals and Zack bringing in some heavenly harmonies which just completes the song.

That's all for now my dears,
See you soon

WWE! A New Era?

Hiya Guys, I really hope that this week's blog title is obvious to those of you who understand and will most likely read this post! I am a big WWE fan and, before you say 'oh it's fake', well I do know that but I'd like to also say that Marvel and DC and all those films are also fake. So, these last few weeks made history in WWE by having the Brand Split of RAW and Smackdown and making them both live.  Here is my overview of the Draft last week as well as the first week of the so-called 'new era.' Draft Day I will be honest and say that Draft Day was a huge disappointment in terms of the draft itself and the way it was organised. It seemed extremely lackluster and rushed in comparison to the other years and seemed to be very much focused on the Managers of each of the companies (Stephanie/ Mick Foley and Shane/ Daniel Bryan) instead of the superstars. However, when it comes to the picks itself, I was pleasantly surprised and happy. I think...

My Strictly favourites for this year!

Hiya guys, Hasn't the first few episodes of Strictly been amazing and shocking, in terms of talent and the results (book Tameka leaving). I don't remember a year where so many of the contestants are this talented so early because even Ed Balls isn't as bad as people like John Sargeant or Greg Wallace. Before I start, special shoutout to Judge Rinder who literally entertains me every week and Claudia who proves that us short people can do whatever we want. So, what does a new series of SCD call for... oh yeah a list of my favourite's who I think have a proper shot of winning the glitterball this year. I am sorry for the size of the list, they're all too good to just pick a few! LETS GOOOO... 1. Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse I loved Danny in Hollyoaks so I was mega excited when it came up that he was coming on the show and by God he did not disappoint me. I was also thrilled when he was paired with Oti who is absolutely magnificent but couldn't show...

Help! Essays are due!

Hiya guys, This week is another attempt at helping you gorgeous people to learn things through my mistakes. It is that time of the year and whether you've already given in essays or have some to give in, everyone will need help at some point. Please don't just take my word for it as I am only a first year university student and cannot help with content or structure . However, here are just a few points that I wish I'd known when I started doing essays and things that I do now that really help my essay writing process. Essay's, whether they be for a humanities or a science subject, have a core aim and that is too write about a specific topic to show your understanding and ability to write coherently and for a purpose so hopefully this can be partly useful to everyone. 1. Once you've chosen a question, step back and think about what it is asking Get the question and analyse it. What is the question word? Is it 'why, what, to what extent,' and figur...
