IT’S CHRISTMAS EVE! The excitement is all only for you guys lol. The only thing constantly looping in my head is finals dates and what all I have left to study.
But! This is the second last day of blogmas! I decided to post everyday until the 25th but I WILL be posting a couple more after that until the end of the year. I’m leaving y’all for five days without anything from me, that’s just sad. You need my awesomeness.
(It’s bad enough that I won’t be daily blogging anymore and you’ll have to survive without new content everyday, right?)
(Wow I build myself up so much)
Onto my favourite songs this month!
Florets by Grace VanderWaal
Remember when I said last month that if I listened to this song enough I’ll love it? Well, I did! This song is like a breath of fresh air and hasn’t failed to lift my spirits. Grace is one of my favourite artists.
Perfect (duet with beyonce) by Ed Sheeran
I was ALL OVER this song the day it dropped. I love the original song and when I saw that he did a duet with Beyonce? I put away my books and sat listening to this. Only, I thought there would be more of Beyonce? Nevertheless, I love it. This song is beautiful and I’m really glad we’ve got the queen singing a part of it.
Beautiful trauma by P!nk
I couldn’t get enough of this song until the first week of December. I especially love the fast dance beats. It ALWAYS makes me want to dance as well. I actually have spent time dancing to this song. You know, at the random dance party I have with myself now and then.
To be human by Sia (ft. Labrinth)
I have listened to this before but I FINALLY watched the movie earlier this month and I became obsessed with this song. Also, Sia’s voice is PERFECT for this song. But then I’m a huge fan of Sia’s so I would love any song of hers.
I do wish we had a remix of this song with faster beats, though? I looked but I didn’t find any I liked.
Dusk till dawn by Zayn (ft. Sia)
When this song released, I listened to it once and I did NOT like it. Everyone was obsessed with it but I wasn’t. A few days back when I was blogging and a random YouTube playlist was playing in the background, this played as well and I FINALLY liked it.
I’m only obsessed with the main chorus part. I’m not sure if anyone else thinks this but I don’t think Zayn and Sia’s voices meld well. It’s very prominent, for me, in the first half of the song because they’re trying to sing and combine their voices but their styles are just too different. Sia’s is very unique. It’s only after half of the song that they start to intentionally sing with different keys and it doesn’t seem as if they’re failing at melding voices. I like the chorus then because both of them are doing their own thing but it compliments the other.
Havana by Camila Cabello (ft. Young Thug)
I’m not a fan of hers. And I didn’t like the song when it came out. But it played in that playlist as well, and I FINALLY actually watched the video. It’s what all us introverts want, don’t we? Go out once, find “the guy” and write our own happy ending. In that one time we go out.
Perfect Symphony by Ed Sheeran and Andrea Bocelli
I’m basically a HUGE fan of Ed as well. Any song he brings out is one I love, especially when they’re slow and beautiful like Perfect. I was still obsessed with the duet he did with Beyonce when this dropped about 10 days back and I fell in love with this as well.
I had only vaguely heard of Andrea Bocelli before, probably because he sings in Italian, but I loved his rendition in this song. His voice is so strong and beautiful. The tenor just took me away. Also, in the end Ed sings in Italian as well?? I NEED MORE OF THAT. I want him to record this song only in Italian. It was too less!
And yeah, those were the songs I was obsessed with this month! I REALLY should be going and studying now but tell me your favourite songs! Which song are you playing on repeat? Which tune did you fall in love with? Are you loving the Ed Sheeran collabs as well? Tell me in the comments!
Treat yourself to Grace’s cover of Ed Sheerin’s A Team at her Paste Studio session. Have time to sit and enjoy it eleventeen times. I’m still listening to it a year later for about three plays each time.

I’m all over country music haha! I understand that because I know a few people who either go by artist or just by songs they like!
Yessss can’t wait to hear what you think about SZA π If I could recommend some songs, I’d start with Drew Barrymore, 20 Something and The Weekend.

You should create a YouTube channel and just have monthly playlists with these songs! It would be so cool and fun to watch the playlists grow throughout the months! I LOVE these songs, too. Ed Sheeran always grabs my heart, and I think I actually like the original version of Perfect better. *hides* I like all the versions, but the original music video makes me smile and warms me.

Also, I JUST watched the Havana video and I want this to be my life. This is what I yearn for. But then I would have to know how to dance well and leave my house.

I should figure out how to YouTube without getting sued then π
I do agree that Ed’s original Perfect video is really nice. I also like his Photograph music video. I kind of want him to record the whole song in Italian? Those last two lines of Perfect Symphony were not enough for me π¬
