Music in my heart

At the end of my latest post I mentioned the Madonna gig where me and Sara gonna go in August. So I came up with an idea to make a list of the singers/bands that I'd like to see live some day! Some of them mean the world for me, some are otherwise really important to me. Music and singing has always been close to my heart. For me, music is inspiration. It's cure. It's drug. By listening to music you can live the moments you'll cherish in your memory again. Music makes you smile, cry, it can affect you in so many ways. It makes you feel the life itself.


I have three factors that I appreciate in music most. Firstly the sincere lyrics, secondly great touching vocal performance and the show. Let me tell you about my choices. Enjoy.


Celine Dion
Celine Dion
Been on the top of my list forever. In my opinion, the greatest voice on earth. When I was a little girl and watched Titanic and heard one of the most famous movie themes first time. Well since then I've loved her. She's the best. Her voice always gives me shivers. Her way to be present on the stage every single night of the show is. The way she sings, so effortlessly but full of emotion is one of its' kind. . It's because of her I found my passion for music and singing.


In 2007 I heard Celine Dion will take her Taking Chances Tour to Helsinki! My birthday was coming so I thought that it's perfect my parents know I'm crazy about her so they will get the tickets! THEY DIDN'T! Ok the tickets were pretty expensive but I was so upset! I would have had a chance to see her!!! Hopefully she will come around again. See her show and hear the voice live would be the best day of my life. Now she's doing a show in Las Vegas. Unfortunately that's way too expensive for me to go. Check the video from the show below. A good example of the effortless singing she can do! Perfect <3






Adele
Adele




Like I mentioned I really appreciate great vocal performance, Celine Dion and the lady above presents this field better than no one on my list. Celine Dion will always be my biggest favorite, but Adele with her powerful dark female voice combined with her sincere lyrics about her life, is just breath taking to listen! By listening to her you can really hear the message she want's to send or the story she wants to tell. I love her way to write down her feelings and being so open about them in public. You can find yourself in the lyrics. She's one of my greatest inspirations, because that's what I want to do in my life too. Write down my thoughts and feelings so well that people could identify with them. Like I do with Adele's lyrics. Some people can't just find the words but I could help them to find some. Like Adele has helped me. Especially when it comes to breakup and heartbreak. Adele is the one who can find the words. She's amazing. She's also a fabulous role model. There has been a lot of talk about her weight but she doesn't care. She's not a skinny girl but she loves her body as it is! That's a message we should all take in. Not to care other people's opinions about our looks. Anyway, like millions and millions of other people in the world, I love the 21 album and hopefully, I will see my greatest inspiration face to face someday, and hear the voice the world so much adores. In below my favorite song "Take It All" live Itunes Festival 2011.






James Morrison

James Morrison
What can I say, a good looking British guy with a guitar and a voice that sweep me off my feet, what more can you want? James Morrison's music always reminds me of England. I listened to his first album Undiscovered when I went to London for the first time and it always reminds me of the time I fell in love with UK. It makes me remember the feeling again. Being there. In the right place. Feeling perfectly the ground under my feet. Perfectly balanced. So last year when I bought a ticket to his gig in London February 11th 2012, I was the happiest person in the WORLD. Well, in life everything doesn't go as planned. Something came up and I couldn't go. I HAD THE TICKET IN MY HAND AND I HAD TO SELL IT. It's still killing me when thinking about it. I simply love him. I don't know what else to say. Now I can't find the words. Just listen to this sweetness <3 :






Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift


Ok, I know some of you might think that "What? You gotta be kidding me? Taylor Swift? She's part of that Miley Curys Selena Gomez gang. NO WAY!" Well, that's true, but this girl really can write songs in a very sweet way about life in our age. Love, growing up, heartbreak, high school, teenage problems and so on. Her music is so sweet. She has her own young, fresh country style. She sings simply but beautifully. Many of her songs are based on events that happened to her, but you can still be easily identified with them. She's a real role model for young people. For example, she doesn't drink or smoke. She's just this down-to-earth country girl writing songs with her guitar. I love that. Below one of my favorite songs White Horse. I think the song describes perfectly the typical first real crush, you see him through pink colour glasses but he really isn't what you thought he was. You thought he was everything you ever wanted but it was just an illusion. He breaks your heart. In the end, you know he was the one who made you realize that love is not a fairytale as you thought. We are not princesses. We are girls in real life. Happy endings don't always happen, but we still believe that someday we will have one and we keep looking.




Ed Sheeran


Ed Sheeran

Oh wow, no words. This guy made me believe that sentimental guys really do exist, I just had met none yet. :D Sheeran is just this casual guy in his 20s singing about his life with such a simple sincerity but even so very touching. I would love to go Sheeran's gig someday. I have this one song of his that really makes me think about my crush. I don't know why, I think it's just the general atmosphere in the song. This is a love song but for me this song is more about closeness. As you can see in lyrics:

"Settle down with me
Cover me up
Cuddle me in
Lie down with me
Hold me in your arms

Your heart's against my chest

Lips pressed to my neck
I've fallen for your eyes
But they don't know me yet"


I have a huge crush on this guy but we can't be together, cause we live too far away from each other. So I guess a part of me hopes someday I could have all that as in the lyrics above. He holding me in his arms. Cuddling, you know that sort of normal stuff you'd do with your crush. The song's lyrics are intimate but the tone is relaxed. It's the same with my crush. There's this chemistry between us and it's also so easy to be with him, no tension. It just felt right. And Kiss me reminds me of all that. This is why I love music. It make you remember things more vividly. Feel the memories again. Anyways, Ed Sheeran is my current favorite I listen to his album + all the time. His sensitivity in his music is just irresistible.



 



Madonna


Madonna

Everyone knows the fabulous bitch above. She's a legend. She's the Queen of Pop. She is Madonna and I will see her in Helsinki at Olympic Stadium 12.08.2012 with Sara! Once in a life time experience, the show, the dancers, Madonna itself! I admire her. Her strong attitude and self-confidence. She's on the stage like she owns the world! She's just mind blowingly amazing and we're gonna see thaaat!!! Madonna always makes me think of my friend Sara. We went through teenage years by listening Madonna and dancing to it at house partys! So there's no one else I'd rather go to the gig with! It's going to be mad! Like below ;)




Nickelback

Nickelback
This band is really important to me and Kisu. We've listened to it as long as I don't know? Since the beginning of our friendship? :D We've said many times that, if Nickelback comes to Finland we have to go to see them. Well we are going to! In Helsinki at Hartwall Arena 16.09.2012! They are heavier what I usually listen but I really like them! When they start to play this, I'll go crazy! :D :




Alright I guess this is it for now. I suppose this is my longest post for now. :D I wrote this like the whole day? Why do I always need to make everything perfect so it takes me such a long time to do it? Well that's perfectionism.. Anyway now I'm going to go and watch England game! Laters xxx
