#MusicMonday: Better Days - The Goo Goo Dolls

This is the last music Monday of 2014 which is pretty weird, I promise to get a hell of a lot better at this next year so tag along for the journey. 

Better days by the Goo Goo dolls is just the perfect song for this time of year. Each year I am drawn back to it. It's perfect to feel nostalgic to and to help you move forward into the new year. 

"so you ask me what I want this year and I try to make this kind and clear just the chance that maybe we'll find better days"

#MusicMonday: Get Back to Gold - Bethany Joy Lenz

Bethany Joy Lenz has now released "Get Back to gold" an EP launched using kickstarter proceeds going to Stop the Traffik as well. 

"Get back to Gold" is the perfect title for this EP as the three tracks currently released do  exactly that. Joy shows of her incredible vocals, extraordinary writing skills and ability to make an incredible record. 

"Belong to me" is a definite hit. With a catchy tune and a beat to get you into it. This song creates a base that indicates what sound BJL is now going for. 

Joy had previously released a snippet of her singing the beginning of "Start it up" so I was most excited to see what this song would be and WOW did she blow it out of the water. It hits you hook, line and sinker and you will catch yourself singing the chorus for days after. Lyrically perfect I fell in love with this song the minute I heard it. 

"Call of the wild" is in a league of it's own though. The song is hauntingly beautiful. And does indeed feel like a call of the wild. Joys vocals are hypnotic. This is my definite favourite.

Check it out on spotify and iTunes 

Success doesn't just happen

A little bit of rambling I did on a typewriter app, just my musings on what it takes to be successful. May or may not make sense.
