My June Playlist!

-
Hey Guys x
 
Sorry I didn't post yesterday, revision completely filled my head! (2 exams to go!)
 
I did a playlist post for you about March, which you can see here!
 
Throughout April and May, I listened to the same music as I did in March, so there was no point doing a post about it.
 
However, during my exam period, I made a playlist on my iPod called 'Relax' which has a wide range of old and newer songs.
 
So I thought I'd do a playlist post on my 'Relax' playlist!
 
It has 75 songs on it though so I'm not going to go through all of them! I picked 11 that I think represent the rest of the playlist - and maybe I can show you more of the songs in another post!
 
1. Love Me Like You Do - Ellie Goulding
 
I have been obsessed with this song ever since I saw 'Fifty Shades Of Grey', but this month, I actually bought it from iTunes so that I could listen to it all the time, which I have been doing! I don't know what about it makes me love it, but I just think that it's got a really nice melody and really lovely lyrics!
 
 
2. Show Me Love (America) - The Wanted
 
I have loved The Wanted for years! However, when they split up, I kind of stopped listening to their music. Not completely, but I just listened to other things. However, recently, I've been listening to them again and this song was a definite for this playlist!
 
 
3. All Of Me - John Legend
 
This is such a nice, relaxing song! You've probably heard it because it was really big last year, but I still listen to it constantly because I love it so much! It is such a romantic song, so as a romance-oriented person, it says a lot to me.
 
 
4. Lay Me Down - Sam Smith ft John Legend
Yes, I am fully aware that this song was in my last playlist post, but this time, it's the version with John Legend, so I figured I could still put it in! The song is completely amazing with Sam on his own, but the addition of John Legend just makes the song even more amazing and their harmonies are just really on point!
 

 
5. Blank Space - Taylor Swift
 
 
I have been obsessed with this song lately! I have never been the biggest fan of Taylor Swift. However, the music that she's been bringing out lately has been amazing and I am slowly converting into a fan!
 

 
6. Happy Little Pill - Troye Sivan
 
 
I bought this song as soon as it came out because I really love Troye and completely support #TeamInternet. However, when I bought it, I never realised how much I would actually love it and listen to it. Especially for a relax playlist, this song was a must-have!
 
7. All About You - McFly
 
 
I have been obsessed with McFly for years, and I have always loved this song! But I loved it even more when I found out that Tom wrote it specifically for his then-girlfriend now-wife Giovanna, as I just thought it was the most romantic thing in the world!

 
8. Photograph - Ed Sheeran
 
 
This song has been one of my favourites from Ed's album 'X' for a long time, so I was ecstatic when I heard that he was actually releasing the song as a single! If you haven't heard this song before, listen to it now, the lyrics in particular. It's a beautiful song!
 

 
9. I Won't Let You Go - James Morrison
 
 
I have been a fan of James Morrison for a while, mainly because he just has the most beautiful voice! This song is quite underrated, as is James Morrison himself, but the lyrics and the melody are just beautiful!
 

 
10. Home - Michael Buble
 
 
This is quite an old song, but Michael Buble had been a guilty pleasure of mine for a really long time! This song is one that I have loved for years, but I only listened to it again recently for the first time in ages, reminding me how much I love it!
 


 
11. Beautiful Life - Union J
 
Union J are another of the boy bands that I have loved in the past and their music is still a big part of my life. This song in particular is one that I have loved for a long time!
 
Thank you for reading!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    I know what you mean about 'Love Me Like You Do' I can't seem to get tired of it and every time I sing along to it I feel the emotions the song portrays haha, I like that kind of music that can really make you feel it. Love the playlist!

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
