Unbelievable that 2013 has almost come to an end. So I thought I would look back on the music-related things that happened this year and share my all-time favourites.
Gigs:
I've seen quite a few amazing artists over the past year. Like for example Cody Simpson, Lawson and The Vamps, just to name a few. But the most amazing act I've seen in 2013 was Jessie J. I saw her at a festival last summer, she was the headliner so she still had a full-on two hour set. She absolutely smashed it.
CD's:
A few of my favourite artist released albums this year.
*Selena Gomez - Stars Dance.
I love this album a lot because it's a lot more her own style. The songs sound a lot more like electronic music. It's a lot less "Disney-like" and a lot more mature, I would say. Even though I liked her older albums as well (a few years ago) I like the change she made, because I think she grew and most of her fans grew along with her.
*Cody Simpson - Surfers Paradise.
Last summer Cody finished up a new album full of his "summer vibes", and it's fair to say these songs have been my summer tunes. All of the songs are just amazing and it just makes me want to run outside and dance.
Artists:
There are a few artists I've been loving for the past year.
*The Vamps. This year I fell absolutely in love with this band. They are an amazing band who put covers on YouTube on a regular base, but they also brought their first single out 'Can We Dance'. I got the chance to see them live last summer (before they even brought their single out) and they were fabulous.
*The 1975. "The breakthrough act of the year" according to MTV, and they're right. Their debut album came out this summer and they toured through Europe, America and Australia already.
Singles:
I've been loving these singles in 2013.
*Avril Lavigne - Here's to Never Growing Up
"Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs. With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love. Got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk. Singing here's to never growing up" it's fair to say that this song has been my jam, past spring.
*Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran - Everything Has Changed
I already loved this song back in 2012, because it was already on her album 'Red', which came out in October 2012. But this year the music video for 'Everything Has Changed' came out and everyone seemed to absolutely love it because of the little Ed and the little Taylor.

The Christmas Tag
I found this tag on youtube and I'm really excited for Christmas so I thought that it would be nice to answer the questions on this tag.

Is it bad that I have never seen 'Elf'? Everyone goes on about how good it is, so I guess I'm going to watch it this year with Christmas. My favourite holidaymovie is 'Home Alone', but only the first movie or maybe even the first two but the others are just bad.
2. What are your favourite Christmas colours?
I would have to go for the classic Christmas colours such as dark red, dark green and gold-ish.
3. Do you like to stay in your PJs or dress up for Christmas?
It depends on what I'm doing for Christmas. If I'm going out with the family I would dress up all fancy but if we're just having dinner at home I will wear my comfy clothes like Christmas jumpers and sweatpants.
4. If you could only buy one present for a person this year...
It would be something for a child who deserves it a lot.
5. Have you ever built a ginger bread house?
No, I haven't yet but it's something I would love to do.
6. What do you like to do during your Christmas break?
I usually just sit indoors, wear sweatpants and cosy jumpers/sweaters, drink lots of tea and hot chocolate and watch tv-shows. Also I just love to stay in bed, especially when it's freezing cold outside and it's so warm in the bed.
7. Any Christmas wishes?
Not really. I just hope for peace and love, that sounds cliché.
8. Favourite Christmas smell?
Near me there aren't really candle-shops or whatever. So as weird as it sounds, my favourite Christmas smell is the smell of a regular candle when it just stopped burning. That sounds so strange but the smell reminds me of church and Christmas.
9. Favourite Christmas meal or treat?
That's a hard one. I just love all the food in general, but the thing I love the most is an ice cake my mum always makes on Christmas day.
The questions:
1. What's your favourite holiday movie?
2. What are your favourite Christmas colours?
3. Do you like to stay in your PJs or dress up for Christmas?
4. If you could only buy one present for a person this year...
5. Have you ever built a ginger bread house?
6. What do you like to do during your Christmas break?
7. Any Christmas wishes?
8. Favourite Christmas smell?
9. Favourite Christmas meal or treat?

November Favourites
I know it's a bit late, because we're already almost halfway into December. I decided to post the music-related things I loved in November. So these are the things that I've been loving the past month.
Singles:
*The Vamps - Wildheart
Wildheart was always my favourite unreleased song from The Vamps, and I really hoped it would be their first single. But thank god it ended up being their second single! I love this song so much because it brings a nice vibe and it sounds a bit country-ish.
*Little Mix - Move
"FEELING LIKE IT'S MY BIRTHDAY. LIKE CHRISTMASDAY CAME EARLY. JUST WHAT I WANT SO WHEN WE MOVE, YOU MOVE." This song is really catchy and dance-able.
*The Wanted - Show Me Love (America)
This song is so romantic and adorable. "I could've shown you America, all the bright lights in the universe. We could've reached the highest heights, a different place a different life. Remember that night underneath the stars, for a minute I thought the world was ours. All you had to do was show me love." And we can't not talk about Nathan in his smoking, behind his piano, looking all handsome.
Bands:
*The 1975.
Since last summer all my friends on twitter couldn't stop talking about this band. So I decided to give them a listen and I absolutly love them. I found out that they're playing a gig in a small venue 30 minutes away from my town in March. So I'm going to see them in a few months and I'm really excited about that. My favourite songs from the 1975 are 'Sex' and 'Chocolate' and 'Girls'.
