EDM heaven

Hola everyone.

I know, I’m late, I’m very sorry. Buuuut I have a good excuse which is also the topic of this post – I went to a festival yesterday (and yes, I got home late and felt like crap when I woke up at like 2 pm, but good and happy crap).

.

It’s called Lake Festival and is a festival for EDM music. But as you guys already know, my reason for going was one: having fun with my friend and two: seeing Martin Garrix again. Let’s be honest, Martin is literally the king of EDM, and at least for me, he’s the best and cutest DJ out there. And the aspect that he’s a superhot cutie is just another bonus. Actually I’ve known him for three years now and got the chance to see him close Sziget Festival last year. And I just fell for him completely and needed to see him again. I just had to. So this festival came just right.

.

I have to say, the festival on itself wasn’t like super duper amazing. It was pretty small, with only 3 stages. And of course I’m just comparing it to Sziget, which is like a complete other universe. But it was fun anyway, just really different. The only thing that I didn’t really like was the crowd. Especially with Martin, it didn’t really seem like they showed a lot of dedication. At least not as much as at Sziget. There wasn’t a real dynamic feeling. But let’s be honest, I didn’t care about that at all. Because I was there and Martin was there and I just had my little party with him. And he, as the cutie he is, still told us that the crowd was amazing and that he loved us (what a cutiiiiieeeee).

.

I only felt bad for my friend, because apparently, EDM isn’t the right thing for her and onto that, the people standing beside her where total douchebags and asocial pricks. I’m just glad that she just ignored them, which is always the right thing to do.

.

Anyway, Martin was amazing as always. I really liked that this set was completely different than the one at Sziget. And I mean, I wouldn’t have cared if it was the same, because I love everything he does. He just slays. And oh my god, he was so damn cute – I know, I say that a lot, but it’s just so damn true. And he played a lot of new songs, which are literally breathtaking. They’re more like rap, strong beat ones and I loooved. Actually, the last song he played is his new single which he released today and it was the highlight, seriously (it’s called “In The Name Of Love” – here’s the link: youtube.com). I mean, I started to cry. I was so overwhelmed. And he showed the heart sign and I did it too and I felt so free and alive and just appreciated the moment and lived it to it’s fullest and yeah. I’m just so happy. Really. What an amazing night.

.

Apart from Martin, the other DJ who performed were Oliver Heldens, Lost Frequencies, DVBBS (way to hard techno style for me, no thanks), Alan Walker, some guys I never heard of and didn’t really enjoy and R3hab. But to be honest, Martin just topped them altogether. As I said, he’s the king. And I’m really proud of that. Because he’s 20 and achieved all of that. He flies from city to city everyday. I mean, today he’s in Chicago, then in Las vegas and I bet that he has another show on Sunday. Someday he has three shows a day. And he still loves it so much, that he keeps a smile on his face for the whole time. And I love that. That he’s there for his fans, that he shows appreciation and that he loves what he’s doing. He really deserves all of that. And I’m happy that I can follow his path, even just as a quite observer and loving fan. I really am.

.

So yeah, that’s pretty much everything I have to say. The festival was amazing, martin was even more amazing and I can’t wait to see him again some time. Really. I hope that you enjoyed this post and if any of you want to chat about something, just hit me up, I’m here. And until then, as always, thanks for reading. x

Music of the month

Hola everyone.

I know, I don’t need to explain anything or tell you about my love for music again and again and again and again and ….

.

Buuut, I actually have some news, that pretty much create my list of my favorite songs right now. First of all it’s fixed that my mum and me are flying to London next month to attend the Reading Festival and see pretty much all of my favorite bands. And I can’t even tell you how happy I am, I could cry – okay, I actually already did really cry, but hey, this trip really means the world to me. And I can’t wait to see Brighton. All I do is watch vlogs of youtubers that live in Brighton so I can see what it looks like – it looks amazing by the way. Even the book I’m reading right now, “Beautiful Broke Things” which I bought in Copenhagen, is taking place in Brighton. It’s crazy and I’m so damn happy. Oh and the other thing is the festival I’m attending next week to see Martin Garrix, which I’m super excited for. Seriously. It’s going to be a blast.

.

So, those are the two things that make up my music list. Enjoy:

  • The Jungle Giants – You’ve got something
  • Martin Garrix – Oops
  • Nothing But Thieves – Itch
  • Two Door Cinema Club – Are We Ready? (Wreck)
  • Twenty One Pilots – Heathens
  • The Jungle Giants – She’s A Riot
  • Fall Out Boy – America’s Suitehearts
  • Oliver Heldens ft. Becky Hill – Overdrive (Gecko)
  • Leighton Meester – Heartstrings (just because she’s a total queen)
  • The Wombats – Techno Fan

 

If any of you like the same music as me or want to talk about anything else, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading. x

My favorite songs right now

Hola everyone.

As you all know, music means the world to me – I know, I repeat myself. But I could talk about music every single day, I just love it that much.

.

Anyway, due to my music obsession, the fact that Indie music is getting more and more popular (thank god, finally) and due to my mum and me flying over to England to visit this years Reading festival (hopefully), I found a lot of new bands. And new bands mean new songs and new songs mean new obsessions. So I thought, why not show you my favorite songs right now? Some are from bands I know since like 2 months, others are from bands I’ve worshipped for years already. Oh, and all the links to the songs are right in the text. Enjoy.

.

  • Panic! At The Disco – I Write Sins Not Tragedies

(always loved that song and now that I’ve just bought tickets to their concert, I love it even more – youtube.com)

  • Nothing But Thieves – Ban All The Music

(one of my new faves, the lead singer is freaking amazing; a song that really gets you hyped – youtube.com)

  • Twenty One Pilots – Holding On To You

(I always see Tyler sitting at his piano and the crowd singing the lyrics when I listen to that song, sometimes one or two tears even start building up, but just because it makes me so happy, that I saw them – youtube.com)

  • The Wombats – Techno Fan

(loved the song since I found out about them a few months ago, which I also blogged about (link); the song defines what a typical english indie song should sound like for me – youtube.com)

  • Conor Maynard – One Dance (cover)

(what should I say? It’s Conor, it just can’t be anything but perfect; the coolest aspect is that he produced it all by himself, it’s literally all him, so amazing – youtube.com)

  • DMA’s – So We Know

(I actually heard their music in my favorite café and then googled them; the funny thing is that they will also be at Reading festival, that’s what I call fate; also, their songs are amazing, they sound like an old school English band, but they’re actually from Australia – youtube.com)

  • DNCE – Cake By The Ocean

(they video is completely crazy but the song has something really special that gets me in such a good mood from the first second on – youtube.com)

  • The 1975 – Settle Down

(I’m in love with the song since I noticed that the date of their concert was getting closer and closer, but unfortunately they didn’t play it, but it doesn’t matter; the concert was breathtaking and all of their songs are too – youtube.com)

.

There you go. These are my favorite songs right now, which means that I listen to them 24/7, basically. So, yeah, I really love them. And I think it’s fascinating how favorites can change from week to week or even just day to day. It’s so cool. And I love how everyone on this planet has a different taste in music, it’s so interesting. But if any of you have the same taste in music as me or even the same favorites, I would be really happy to talk to you. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and as always, thanks for reading. x

The 1975

Hola everyone.

Soooooo, it finally happened. I finally saw The 1975 again after 3 years and seriously, I couldn’t be happier. Really. I don’t even know what to say or where to start. I’m just sooo happy, I still have a bright smile on my lips and my voice still hasn’t recovered completely. That shows how amazing it was.

.

Anyway, I think it would be best to start with the history I share with this extremely special band. Three years ago I went to my first real concert, the Two Door Cinema Club concert I already told you about. The funny thing is that I didn’t know much about music at that point, my knowledge began and ended with Justin Bieber. So I had no idea who the support acts of TDCC were. And guess what? It was The 1975. And even better, when I first heard their music, I didn’t like it all. Like for real. I thought that the second support act, Dog Is Dead, was better. And when the concert was over, the two bands got in the main area so that people could talk to them. And being the crazy girl not knowing anything in music, I just walked past Matty and went over to the other band to talk to them. How crazy is that? I mean, I could have taken a picture with the whole band, talked to Matty and whatelse. But nope, not with me.

.

Actually, I laugh about it now. The band I didn’t like three years ago is now one of my most favourite bands and the singer who I thought was REALLY weird because he was half naked and smoked on stage is now one of those guys I tell other people about that they have the most amazing voices ever. It’s just crazy. So crazy and unbelieveable.

.

Soooo, the concert. It was uuuuunbelieveable, really. First of all I need to say that I’ve never seen someone who is like Matty, seriously. He literally LIVES the music and his band. And he smokes and drinks wine out of a glass while singing, how crazy is that? And he acts like a model on the runway, doing one pose after another, with that typical model expression on his face. Besides that his voice is extraordinary amazing. I really love his voice. And they are all so good live, it’s breathtaking.

.

Thank god my friend Hannah and me got there early, especially Hannah who waited outside for over an hour. Now we had amazing places really close to the stage. The crowd went crazy when they finally got on stage and the beat of Love Me started playing. I felt like I was in heaven. But the most amazing moment was when I heard the music of Robbers and got goosebumps everywhere. I nearly started crying while screaming the lyrics of this song. And of course the last moment when they played Sex and everyone was going completely crazy and was screaming out the lyrics. It felt like we were in another world, our small world full of happiness, far too hot weather and amazing music. And oh my god, their stage was sooooooo beautiful. It was pure aesthetics. The colors and the lightening and everything, it was so amazing. Hannah and me were starstruck.

.

Overall I’m soooooo damn happy that I went to their concert and it couldn’t have been any better, really. I loved every single moment of it. And I can’t wait to see them again in summer when my mum and me will hopefully fly to England to go to Reading festival.

.

If any of you visited one of their concerts or love the band as much as me, I’d be happy to talk to you and exchange memories and fangirl moments. And until then, as always, thanks for reading. x

My newest music obsession

Hola everyone.

Yep, I love music. And I need it in my life. Like, what would life be without music? Totally boring for sure (duh). So I try to bring as much music as I can in my life. I’m especially in love with Indie music from bands like Twenty One Pilots, Two Door Cinema Club or The 1975.

.

And of course I’m also crazy about concerts and festivals. Last year I went to my first festival – Sziget festival in Budapest. And it totally took my breath away, I was starstruck. That’s probably the reason why I look out for music festivals every day, like a crazy detective looking for proofs for a case. And how could it be otherwise, I found it. I found the most perfect festival ever – Reading festival in the UK.

.

It has literally the best lineup I’ve ever seen, with 6 of my favorite bands and Fall Out Boy as a headliner. Just to mention, I’d do A LOT of things just to finally see them live. Besides that I also saw a band that I knew a little from my Spotify mix. I knew I liked their kind of music, but I only knew one single song so I thought why not give it a try. And I wasn’t let down. So, I present to all of you amazing people out there, my new music aka band obsession – The Wombats.

..

So far I’ve listened to about 25 songs and spent my last week listening to only their music and I’m speechless. To be honest, there’s literally not one song that doesn’t sound like heaven to my ears. Seriously. I didn’t even know that this was even possible. But apparently it was.

.

I couldn’t be happier to have found that amazing band, every song is a gift for me, really. Their songs are full of life and happiness and they just make me totally happy. And besides that, the lyrics are amazing. Oh and one song is dedicated to the year 1996 which happens to be my year of birth, so thanks guys, I appreciate it. I can really just recommend the band and their music, so if any of you have share the same love as me for Indie music and cool bands, then please go and give them a try, you won’t regret it, I swear. I’ll also leave a link to my favorite song of them down below, so you can go and check it out.

.

I would be really really happy to hear from some of you who either know the band or who have the same taste in music as me or who just want to talk. I’m here, always. Until then, have fun with The Wombats and thanks for reading. x

My concert list

Hola everyone.

As you know, I’m a fan of lists. And I love writing experiences down and keeping memories, so it will probably not surprise you that I always write it down whenever I go to a concert. So I thought why not dedicate one post to all the artists I’ve already seen live. And yes, I’m not joking, I’ve seen them all. Enjoy.

.

  • Justin Bieber (I cried when I bought the tickets in 2013 and I’m planning on seeing him again this year)
  • Conor Maynard (it included a Meet and Greet and I still can’t get over the fact that I hugged him; I can’t wait to see him again)
  • Olly Murs (2x; actually one of the cutest artists on stage, he just knows how to play with his crowd)
  • Avicii (2x; seriously the biggest parties I’ve ever been to and one of the best DJs out there)
  • Postal Service (saw them at the Barclays Center in New York)
  • Clean Bandit (saw them at the the Jingle Bell Ball in London in 2014)
  • Union J (George Shelley is literally the human version of a cute teddy bear; we wore the same outfit at the concert – Coincidence? I don’t think so…)
  • Take That (I’ve never seen men dance that much while singing)
  • Maroon 5 (saw them at 8 o’clock in the morning in the middle of New York when they were at the Today Show and played a gig there)
  • The Vamps (the highlight of the Jingle Bell Ball; and just to mention, they are breathtakingly amazing live)
  • Jess Glynne (she was part of the Clean Bandit set)
  • Ella Henderson (I didn’t even really know her, but I remember she made me cry with one song)
  • OneRepublic (2x; they totally slayed both times; I love when Ryan wears a hat)
  • The 1975 (they were the support act for Two Door Cinema Club and I remember that I didn’t even like their music back then – funny story, because now I love them)
  • Dog Is Dead (the other support act of Two Door Cinema Club; I think I told the lead singer they were amazing after the show)
  • Ed Sheeran (what should I tell you? I’d do EVERYTHING to re-live it right now and if I had the chance to go to his concert every day for the rest of my life, I would totally do it)
  • Robbie Williams (he had the coolest stage I’ve ever seen in my life and he totally rocked it)
  • Two Door Cinema Club (the reason for my concert addiction – thanks guys)
  • The Script (always dreamed about seeing them live and completed the wish in 2014)
  • Nick Tangorra (the cute support act of Conor)
  • 5 Seconds of Summer (flew to Berlin with my friend just to see them)
  • Saint Raymond (the amazing support act of Ed; I love them ever since)
  • McBusted (I think I knew exactly two songs, but I still loved their show)
  • Hey Violet (the punk support act of 5SOS)
  • One Direction (one of those concerts I will always remember)
  • Ryan Keen (the other support act of Ed)
  • Awolnation (saw them at the Sziget festival last year)
  • Marina and The Diamonds (she’s the queen, literally)
  • Kasabian (the oldies who totally rocked Sziget)
  • Major Lazer (their song “Lean On” is the official Sziget hymn for my mum and me)
  • Kings of Leon (Caleb’s voice is freaking amazing live)
  • Alesso (the one show mum and me actually sneaked in at Sziget; it was totally worth it)
  • Turrentine Jones (an English band which actually follows me on twitter)
  • Kraftklub (didn’t really know them before the gig but loved them even more afterwards)
  • Rudimental (my mum got completely obsessed with their music after we had seen them)
  • Limp Bizkit (totally not my type of music; I literally just saw them to keep my front row place for Martin)
  • Martin Garrix (yep, I survived Limp Bizikt for him and it was soon worth it; he ended Sziget with the best show anyone could ever imagine)
  • R5 (Ross’s dance moves made the show 100 times better)
  • DJ Ryland (the small brother of the R5 family; he did a really great job getting us all excited for R5)
  • Twenty Øne Piløts (I saw them exactly 9 days ago and miss them like crazy; I even fell more in love with their music after I saw them, while I didn’t even think that was possible)

.

I can only imagine what you are all thinking now, and I know, I don’t even believe it myself. My concert addiction started in 2013, so I saw all of these people in the last three years, which literally takes my breath away. I don’t even know how that’s possible, but somehow it is.

.

I’m really really really happy and also lucky that I got all these chances to see them live and I hope that it will continue this way, as concerts are the one thing that I never want to lose in my life.

.

If any of you are the same as me or if you just want to talk to me about concerts, I’m here and more than looking forward to talking to you. Thanks for reading. x
