My March Playlist!

-

Hey Guys x

I've seen a lot of people doing this lately, so I thought I'd do one too!

Basically, for those who don't know, I'm just going to show you all of the music that I have been listening to throughout March.

For each song, I'll leave the YouTube video too so you can hear the songs for yourself!

I've actually made a playlist on my iPod and I've been shuffling it throughout March, so for me, this is easy!

Please comment what songs you were listening to in March!

1. Left The Broken - Bethan Leadley


This is the third post this week in which I've mentioned Bethan, but she needs to be mentioned because she's completely amazing! I heard this song because I clicked on the lyric video for it, completely on a whim, and found myself listening to it a further 5 times because I just loved it so much! Listen to this song!

 
2. Lay Me Down - Sam Smith


 
I think I spoke about this song in my 'March Favourites' post, but I am still loving it and have been loving it throughout March because it's a really amazing song and you can completely tell that Sam means every word that he's singing. I think I'll be loving this song for a very long time!
 
 
3. Nightingale - Demi Lovato
 
I have been loving Demi, and her self titled album, forever! So when I saw that she made a music video for her song 'Nightingale', I was thrilled. And after watching it, I was even happier. Nightingale is one of the slower and more meaningful songs on the album, and it has always been one of my favourites!
 
 
 
4. Amnesia - 5 Seconds of Summer
 
I haven't been one to jump on the '5sos' thing. Not that I don't like them or anything, I just haven't really been into boybands and I don't really see the appeal. However, this song was on a CD that I was importing, and I decided to put it on my iPod, just to see what it was like. And I LOVED it! Seriously, the song is completely different to what I expected it to be and I can't stop listening to it. It's amazing!
 
 

5. Take Me To Church - Hozier
 
I spoke about this song a lot earlier this year and at the end of last year, but it's made a reappearance in my playlists because I think it's a really nice song and it's really easy to zone out while listening to it, which I really like in a song!
 
 
6. Oh Cecilia - The Vamps
 
The Vamps are another band that I never really took to. The first time I heard this song was when I watched a version with YouTubers singing it for charity. I loved the version that they did, and immediately went to listen to the original version, which I also loved. I'll put both versions below!
 
 
7. Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran
 
I have been talking about Ed Sheeran and his album X (which I only just found out is pronounced 'multiply' rather than 'X') for ages, and yet, this song has never not been on my playlists since I first heard it. I love it because it's the kind of song that I would love someone to write for me one day, as a hopeless romantic!
 
 
8. Neon Lights - Demi Lovato
 
I didn't really like this song when I first heard it, whenever it was released. I don't know why, it just wasn't one that I was immediately like 'must buy this right now!' When I started loving it, was when I saw Demi perform it on 'This Morning' (a TV show in the UK) and I was completely hooked. She is an amazing performer and she really made me love the song!
 
 
9. Rude - Magic!
 
I have been loving this song for a long time! You've probably all heard it as it's been out for so long, but I just think it's sung really well and it's such a fun idea. Rather than the typical love song, the artist is talking to his girlfriend's father and basically begging him to let them be together, and then getting angry when he doesn't. It's brilliant!
 
 
10. I'm Not The Only One - Sam Smith
 
This is another song that I have been loving for ages! I love the fact that it's a nice slow song, and it has a really nice melody. I could literally listen to it on repeat for hours because I love it so much! And I never noticed that Quinn from Glee (Dianna Agron)  was in the video!
 
 
11. Clown - Emeli Sande
 
Last but not least is this song, another one that I was way too late for! I heard this for the first time sung by Sam Bailey who won the X Factor two years ago, and I fell in love with it. Of course, when I heard the original version, I feel even more in love and thought: 'I have to have this song!' because it's such a beautiful song! If you haven't heard it, please listen to it!
 
 
So, that was my March playlist, I really hope you enjoyed seeing what music I've been listening to!
 
Thank you for reading
 
Comment below what songs you're loving right now, and please give me some recommendations. I need some new artists to love!

    Love your playlist! :D
    It's so hard to just choose one song that I really like this month but I'll have to say "Trouble - Iggy Azalea" is pretty good. I also really liked "Shut up and Dance- Walk the Moon".

    I love your blog! It looks like we have quite similar music taste- I adore Demi Lovato, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Emilie Sande, The Vamps, 5SOS and lots of the others you've featured!

    Keep dreaming & keep writing,

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

Subservience | Film Review

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

Brothers | Film Review

While attempting to go straight, former criminal Moke's (Josh Brolin) efforts are derailed when he is reunited with his twin brother Jady (Peter Dinklage), who convinces him to join a cross-country road-trip to retrieve the score of a lifetime. I remember seeing the trailer for this a few months ago and being surprised by the actors involved, because no one seemed to be anticipating its release at all. I wasn't particularly interested in the plot, but as a fan of a few of the actors in it, I wanted to see it. And after watching the film, I understand why no one was really talking about it. But let's start with the good things! The characters are great. Jady and Moke are fun characters to spend time with, and the actors had great chemistry. If nothing else in the film felt realistic, their brotherly banter worked. At the beginning, it was funnier than I expected it to be. This unfortunately didn't last and the film got less and less funny as it went on, but for a while t
