1. Favourite song
Never an easy question! Currently, Falling Down – Atreyu but this changes with alarming frequency.
2. Least favourite song
So many…probably Never Tear Us Apart – Paloma Faith. I don’t want to hear that shit anymore.
3. A song that makes you happy
Kiss Me – Six Pence None the Richer, because it’s reminiscent of times when life was simple and complicationed situations never got worse than having to decide whether to watch Ten Things I Hate About You or Clueless
4. A song that makes you sad
Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know, but not for obvious reasons. More to do with what/when I associate the song with than what it’s about.
5. A song that reminds you of someone
So many possible answers, I always associate songs to people. Most currently, Gangnam Style – Psy because Nick is always texting me the lyrics and did a little rendition of it in Lloyds Bar on Saturday.
6. A song that reminds you of somewhere
By the Way – Red Hot Chili Peppers because it was always playing in the poolside bar in Aegina (Greece, 2002)
7. A song that reminds you of a certain event
Break Stuff – Limp Bizkit because it was playing during my first kiss. Frankly an immense song to have your first kiss to. I was 12, and it was back in the days when 12 year olds were having their first kiss rather than their first kid.
8. A song you know all the words to
There’s a lot of these to be fair…but I’ll go with G.I.N.A.S.F.S – Fall Out Boy, because NO ONE knows those.
9. A song that you dance to
I usually end up dancing, but the song that is guaranteed to get me and Saz on the floor is Cute Without The E – Taking Back Sunday
10.A song that makes you fall asleep
Nuvole Bianche – Ludvico Einaudi
11.A song from your favourite band
I don’t know who my favourite band are, I love so many…I suppose Biffy are an enduring favourite, so I’ll go with The Go Slow – Biffy Clyro because you never hear that one anymore.
12.A song from a band you hate
Princess of China – Coldplay ft. Rihanna, which is a song I hate by a band I hate collaborating with a singer I hate.
13.A song that is a guilty pleasure
Tik Tok – Ke$ha because me and Saz always used to play it ridiculously loud before going out
14.A song that no one would expect you to love
Ho Hey – The Lumineers because it’s a bit twee for my usual tastes.
15.A song that describes you
Crikey I don’t know…I asked Newt and got told All the Small Things – Blink 182, presumably because I’m small, so why not.
16.A song that you used to love but now you hate
Creep - Radiohead
17.A song that you hear often on the radio
Make a Beast of Myself – Twin Atlantic which makes me very happy because I love them.
18.A song you wish you heard on the radio
Many of Horror – Biffy Clyro because they always play that catastrophic X-Factor version instead.
19.A song from your favourite album
XO –Fall Out Boy
20.A song that you listen to when you’re angry
Prayer of the Refugee – Rise Against, or indeed any Rise Against song. You can be good and angry to them.
21.A song that you listen to when you’re happy
Want You Bad – The Offspring because I just cannot be sad when that song is on
22.A song that you listen to when you’re sad
The Pursuit of Happiness; First Movement – This Providence, or indeed any Breaking Benjamin song
23.A song that you want to play at your wedding
I don’t want to get married, but if I did my sense of humour demands I Hate Everything About You – Three Days Grace
24.A song that you want to play at your funeral
Don’t Fear the Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult because my sense of humour pretty much demands it. It would be Highway to Hell but I don’t like the song…
25.A song that makes you laugh
The Bad Touch – Bloodhound Gang, so many awesome memories attached and well, it is kind of funny.
26.A song that you wish you could play on an instrument
Within a Mile of Home – Flogging Molly because it’s some kick ass violin skillz
27.A song that you wish you could play
A song I half heard on the radio that was really good but can’t find anywhere…kind of like Mumford and Sons but a female vocalist…Also Suffocate – King Adora. My cd is too damaged, it skips and dies on the second verse of said song
(The song on the radio turned out to be Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men, thank goodness for google detectoring!)
28.A song that makes you feel guilty
No Light No Light – Florence and the Machine, again more about who/when it’s associated with than the song topic.
29.A song from your childhood
Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) – The Offspring, I was only 11!
30.Your favourite song at this time last year
Girls Like You – The Naked and Famous according to Spotify
