Its Funny How Reflections Change.

One wonderful singer is James Bay. Since he has started his music career he has been doing better every single day. He is a singer-songwriter and guitarist. The kind of music he mostly writes is Indie Rock, rock, and Soul music. In 2015 Chaos and Calm was released and every other album her released was only an EP. He has been an active artist since 2013.



Sorry if you cannot read the picture but is says I used to recognize myself, it's funny how reflections change. Those lyrics are from the song Let It Go. Basically the whole song is saying let whatever you're holding onto go. If something isn't working out with your partner let them go. I love this song so much.



Albums:




The Dark Of The Moment:

The Dark Of The Moment was the first EP released by James Bay. It includes five different songs. The songs are Move Together, Need The Sun To Break, When We Were On Fire, Stealing Cars, and Clocks Go Forward. The release date was on July 18, 2013.






Let It Go:
Let It Go is another EP and actually the first four albums from James Bay are only EPs. There is also five songs on this EP. The songs are Let It Go, If You Ever Want To Be In Love, Heavy Handed, Hear Your Heart, and  Running. The release date for this EP was May 12, 2014.


Hold Back The River:

The next EP is Hold Back The River. Hold Back The River actually doesn't have five songs like the other two it only has four songs. The songs are Hold Back The River, Sparks, Wait In Line, and Hold Back The River (Live At The Hotel Cafe). This EP was released on November 17, 2014.






Other Sides:

This is James Bays fourth EP before he released his album Chaos And The Calm. Just like all the other EPs there are not a full albums worth of songs, there are about six songs. THe songs are Sparks, Wait In Line, Running, Hear Your Heart, Heavy Handed, and Hold Back The River (Live at the Hotel Cafe/2014). This EP was released on January 13, 2015.



Chaos And Calm:

Chaos And The Calm is the first actual album James Bay released which was actually released on March 23, 2015. The first song I heard on this album was Let It Go and that when I instantly fell in love with James Bay! This album is one of my favorite albums ever. Every song on here is so calming even if it is one of the rock songs on the album.  This album was so good that is was actually nominated in the Grammys. Sadly is didn't win but I think i should have!



I want his guitar so bad ):

Well hopefully you might listen to James Bay because he is one of my top artist to listen to for sure! (:

We're just livin' in Paradise

Going back to writing about the different artist I really like. This time I'm going to write about Jack and Jack. They are actually not a band, they are actually two singers. Jack Johnson is now 20 (as of March 24 actually) and Jack Gilinsky is still 19 and will be 20 on September 10. Jack and Jack have released one EP and the rest are singles, so no full albums. There are about 18 singles and altogether there are about 22 songs they have released. There are actually a couple of songs that just have Jack Johnson.

EP/ Songs: 


  1. Distance
  2. Flights
  3. Paradise (Never Change)
  4. Doing It Right 
  5. Wild Life
  6. Cold Hearted  
  7. Tides
  8. Groove
  9. Right Where You Are
  10. Like That
  11. Cheat Codes 
  12. I'm In

Calibraska 


Calibraska is Jack and Jack's first EP. It has the songs California, Shallow Love, Wrong One, and How We Livin'. This EP came out July 24, 2015. I was with two of my friends and I made them stay up with me the night it came out just so I could buy this EP. I got very lucky because i just had enough money on my phone for this Ep. I got to say I love all the songs on here so much, but I think my favorite is CAlifornia. 





 Another song I could not wait to hear was Groove. I was actually with the same two friends I was with (when I wanted to get Calibraska) when that song came out but sadly I wasn't home so i couldn't buy that song till about two days later. I gotta say that song was very good for sure!

And most things in between

I find it so hard to come up with  my favorite song. I do though have a list of my top six songs. It was really hard to do. I tried my hardest to put them in number order from least favorite to most favorite at the moment. Here you go!

6. Paradise (Never Change) by Jack and Jack


This wasn't the first song by Jack and Jack I have heard but I have love this song since I first heard it. This song came out in 2014 and is the third song released by Jack and Jack. My favorite lyrics from this song are Ain't a dream so open your eyes, we're just livin' in Paradise. Those lyrics just seem happy and to just forget all that bad that could be going on. Also when you're with someone you should be happy.

5. Reflections by Misterwives


Reflections is the third song on Misterwives first album Our Own House. This was actually the first song I had heard from Misterwives and instantly loved it. Its pretty upbeat and a song to dance to. My favorite lyrics from this song are Shattering anything That has reflections of you. I feel like this song may seem like you should be confident. Just because someone breaks your heart you can still go on by yourself and you don't need to be upset about it. Basically forget the bad people in your life.

4. How To Be A Heartbreaker by Marina And The Diamonds 

4 Rules
This is the very first song I heared by Marina And The Diamonds. I think I was with my two friends and we watched the music video so I could watch the video and listen to the song. I think the music video went great with the song. I give this song and video a 10 out of 10 for sure. I love how it has the four rules to be a heartbreaker. This song is on the album Electra Heart and is the 12 song on the album. My favorite rule is probably rule #2. That rule is Rule #2 Just don't get attached to somebody you could lose.  This is very true because if you get attached to someone you could lose you will get hurt.

3. Riptide by Vance Joy


This song makes me happy! I just love this song. I actually don't have a reason why I like this song other than I just love this song. It pretty calming and seems happy! (:


2. Afraid by The Neighbourhood


First of all this gif is actually from the music video. Anyways the song Afraid is probably one of the most deep songs for Jesse Rutherford (The neighbourhoods lead singer). The song is basically one big insecurity for Jesse. Throughout the whole song he's saying how he is afraid. I think some of the most important and my favorite lyrics are Being me can only mean Feeling scared to breath.  Jesse saying how scared and insecure he is and it's pretty sad. 

1. Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time by Panic! At The Disco

"Drunk History of Fall Out Boy"

I have no idea what it is about this song but is my favorite song since Panic At The Discos album Death Of A Bachelor came out in January. This song is so upbeat and just great. I always listen to this song when I listen to music on my phone. I don't have any favorite lyrics from this song but I think all of them are pretty great. Also the caption or title for this post is actually from this song!
