Contender is just one of these epic songs  that you can picture being played in a movie just as the protagonists realise they are madly in love with each other. So it's only a matter if time before someone picks it up.

Remember to Vote

I am a voter, I have a voice, I will be heard.

Today for Scotland is one of the biggest we will ever face as a country. We make the decision on whether or not to become independent. This vote has been debated for a while and in the past few weeks I am unable to go on any social media site without someone having an opinion on what way we all should vote and because I work with the public they also are very opinionated on what they believe is right.

But here it is September 18^th 2014 and its strange, today feels like any other day, I am doing what I would do any other Thursday, but on top of that I am voting for the first time ever and after today we find out how we are going ahead as a country. Changing the country whatever way the vote turns.

So here are a few things to remember:

1. VOTE: I don’t care how you vote, just make sure you do. If you have the power too,  you need to make your voice count.
2. RESPECT OTHERS VOTE: this one is as equally important, a lot of people are very strong minded in their opinion and there has been bullying and scare tactics from both sides. Everyone has to respect one and others vote, we are lucky enough to live in a democratic country and we can choose whichever way we please
3. THINK: possibly the most important thing,  there is still time before you go to the polls to do research  to make sure you are all clued up. Do not vote a certain way because friends, family or celebrities are. But also don’t vote a certain way because you hate whoever. Have your facts, understand this huge decision you are making and pick what you think is right. Do not have your vote influenced.

This is your vote, make it!

#MusicMonday: People Like Us -Kelly Clarkson

View on YouTube

Music Monday this week is People like us by Kelly Clarkson. Have recently lost my iPod, which has my whole music collection on it.  And my laptop is on the fritz, which also has my whole music collection on it. So I have been limited to what I have uploaded on my iPad and phone, which means I have been playing the same thing over and over again. Which means a complete lack of inspiration when deciding music Mondays.

So when "Beautiful Disaster" appeared on my tumblr dash. I started listening to all of Kelly Clarkson's work and can't believe I forgot about this song. Both song and video are amazing, and a good little fix until her new album is released.  enjoy!

First Look: The Last Five Years

This is the first look we have been given at the new movie musical The Next Five years, originally an off-Broadway production written by the fantastic Jason Robert Brown the film adaptation sees Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air, Pitch Perfect) and Jeremy Jordon (Smash, Joyful Noise) take the parts of Cathy and Jamie a couple who have ups and downs throughout there 5 year relationship.


The stage version plays both storylines out separately, first we meet Cathy she's at the end of the relationship and her story goes in non-chronological order, and when we meet Jamie he is at the beginning of the relationship and his story then follows in chronological order. There timelines meet briefly when the couple get married. Due to its interesting narrative I can't wait to see how the movie works it out.


But if this first look is anything to go by, I already have high hopes. Now all we have to do is wait till February...


In the meantime check out the cast albums from the two off-Broadway productions

#MusicMonday : Carried Away - Passion Pit

This week for music Monday I checked through my vinyl collection and totally forgot that I owned this. I bought Passion Pit's album Gossamer after falling in love with the song Carried Away, which is a great song to dance around your room too. It's got a crazy good beat and the lyrics are just as good to sing along too. Glad I rediscovered this beauty today.

#MusicMonday Shake it off -Taylor Swift

Today I'm in dire need of some brilliant upbeat tunes to get me through a horrifically busy day, that involves me sitting on a bus.... A lot. 

And Taylor's Swifts new single "Shake it off" from her upcoming album 1989 can not be accused of being a downer. With a tremendously bouncy beat and catchy lyrics the song will keep you moving when your ready to burn out. Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. I shake it. I shake it off.
