However, you celebrate today. I hope that it has been a nice day, or will be a nice day. One more week, roughly until New Years.

Theme Song
I almost ended up in tears the other day. There’s something that was told too me that I can’t let go of. It was pretty disturbing and very “deaf”, what they told me. Sometimes I really do feel like I have to put out my hand to people who have known me a long time and say “Let me introduce myself, my name is Lauren Bolton”.
Like sometimes, someone says something to you and it makes you go to yourself “God, I really had no chance, did I”.
If I was to tell you that I have a “secret” theme song, would that surprise you? Or do you have a secret them song too?
Imagine
It’s okay to be happy…
Even if you feel like nothings “right” and something is incredibly sad. If you can’t control the situation and you can’t change the situation, change your mood.
Here a five (5) songs that I listen too when I’m perfectly content, even when I should be falling apart. “I should warn you, that I’ll be just fine”.
Some people pray to God, I pray to music…
Pharrell Williams
Mark Ronson
Taylor Swift

Thursday Theories – The Music = My Country
I want to change this post a little this week. Over this week, I was listening to some songs that make me nostalgic for how I think my country used to be, and how it should be.
Music is a different form of communication, it can make us feel so many different ways. It can invoke emotions that we sometimes forget are there. What I am going to do this week, is post five songs that make me “sappy” for my country, Australia. When I hear these songs, it reminds me that there is something beautiful still in my country.
I would LOVE for you all to either pingback five songs of your own, that represent your country to you. Doesn’t matter why. If you don’t want to do a whole post, then please post in the comments, the songs you think represent your country to you. If it’s your country’s anthem, go for it!
When I was in America, I sometimes would listen to this one song on repeat:

I still call Australia home- Peter Allen – Uploaded by:
Tassie TV
You are very much missed Peter Allen ❤ ❤ ❤
This one, speaks a lot about what’s wrong with Australia. Especially with the treatment of Australian Aboriginal People. You can’t have the good without the bad. On a funnier side, this is the video that made a lot of men scared of Peter Garrett, because of his dancing, haha.

Seriously, is there anything better than indigenous (of any culture) music?
Yothu Yindi – Treaty (Original Version) Uploaded by:

I am posting a link to the Radio Mix of the same song, that I think a lot of Australian’s will be more “used too” Both are fantastic though.

Look … I know AC/DC, Kylie Minogue, INXS, etc. Are Australian bands/singers, do they have songs that make me think “Australia”. That’s fine. This isn’t a list of what Australian bands and singers are my favourite. These are a list of songs, that make me think Australia and make me love Australia. Not sorry, but Kylie Minogue doesn’t have one, lol.
Book Magic … Horrible Histories Style!
Have any of you watched “Horrible Histories” the series? I recently saw a episode of theirs “Horrible Histories: Staggering Storytellers” Oh god, I couldn’t stop laughing. I think the show it self is aimed at kids, probably about 10+. However, adults would really enjoy it too … like me … haha!

Day 24 – A song by a band that you wished were still together

So I am already in love, however! I want into my YouTube playlist of what I named “Someone or Something” It reminds me of someone … or … something … haha. What it also has though is a lot of lovey dovey songs, that I love listening to whenever I’m falling in love =D Also though I know what movie this belongs too…But try not to judge, I love the song, not the movie, lol
