Music time with L #2

This is gonna be long. And sorry for the language, too.

Hola people!

So, music. I love it. That's a thing. One of my best friends loves it too. However we like differents bands and differents type of music.
Let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time...
Ok, not really, it was something like 4 months ago (?) and my best friends came to me and randomly told me "Hey, I'm making you a cd with a lot of music I love as you listen only to shitty bands"
First. What a lovely friends I have, don't you think?
Second. My thought was immediately 'yey new music to listen to!'
Finally, after a couple of weeks he arrived at school and gave me a cd with "Rockin' Life" written on it.
When I arrived home that day I started listening to it. Well, technically, before I had to put a title and the artist name for each songs as I want everything to have a title, a genre, a year, and album name and an artist name and he just simply don't give a fuck about it. But, as soon as I read the tracklist (on my computer as he hadn't written it down) I started texting him.
'Omg you put even a song from MCR even if you don't really like them!! Right now I really really want to hug you'
'You are aware about the fact that I know half of the songs on the cd, right? Be proud!'
'Hahahaha you have put real gone in it too!!'
And other stuff like that.
Then I started listening too it and it was amazing.
Great songs, great bands, great singers.
After a couple of days I had finished listening to the whole cd, so I went to him and told him my thought.
Now was my turn.
I made him a cd too, with songs I particularly enjoy. It was, as his name said, "Something Different". I put all the titles and the artist names and even print a little booklet with an explanation of what the cd was and the track list (and a couple of typos here and there...). I gave it to him, and after a couple of months I asked him his thoughts as he never told me anything. His answer? "Well, I didn't came to you saying it was amazing and neither killed you. So, yeah".
Again what a lovely friend. However he told me that some of the songs where great.

Now. Why did I just write down this long story? Because this post his about music I particularly like (aka Something different) and song I discovered I enjoy (aka Rockin' Life).


Something Different.
It's just a giant mess, really.
Different bands and singers. Some live tracks, some studio tracks. I love how a band is able to express who they really are during a concert, so I couldn't not put some live songs. Oh, and one acustic.
But it's what I love. I love every single chord of the songs and every single word from the lyrics. They're like a part of me. Of course I couldn't put every single song I like. So I didn't put anything from My Chemical Romance (he already new about my obsession) and from Green Day (as he put some songs on his cd).
At the end was a mix of All Time Low, An Honest Year, As It Is, Bastille, Blink 182, Busted, Ed Sheeran, Fall Out Boy, Hey Violet, Imagine Dragons, McBusted, McFly, Muse, Panic! At The Disco, Paramore, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, The 1975, The All-American Reject, The Madden Brothers, The Vamps, Twenty One Pilots, We The Kings and 5 Seconds Of Summer.

Rockin' Life.
It's basically the same mess, but with rock music, songs he loves and without live songs. But is' really great. It's amazing how much I've enjoyed listening to it. It was something "new" for me. Like, yes I knew most of the songs, but I had never stop to actually Listen to them, if you know what I mean.
It'ss such an amazing mix.  AC DC, Aerosmith,  Black Sabbath, Bob Marley, Bon Jovi,  Carnivore, Cat Stevens, Deep Purple, Eagles, Europe, Green Day, Guns n' Roses, John Lennon, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Rainbow, Red Hot Chili Pepper, Sheryl Crow, Slash, Smash Mouth, Snap, Sum 41, System Of A Down, The Beatles, The Queen, Twisted Sister, Van Halen, ZZ Top.


So, this is the story.
Also, I made two spotify playlist with the songs from the two cds in case you want to listen to them and/or see the tracklist.
Rockin' Life
Something Different

Have a nice week!

Not a good day

Today is a bad day.

Why? I don't know.


The only thing I know is that I need to cry, but I won't.
Maybe is a bad day because of the grey sky and the cold weather, maybe because I spent the whole day at school, maybe because I miss my friends.

I'm in Australia since the 10th of July and this is the first day when I really really want to stay all afternoon in my bed and listen to sad music.

But I won't.

The grey sky will become brighter and so will do my mood, even if I'll be still looking for my place in the world.
For that reason, now I'll go downstairs on the couch and I'll try to smile and laugh.


It's gonna be hard find the right place for me, but I won't stop looking for it.
