My favourite song

If their is a song that I could listen to for the rest of my life, it would be Iris by Goo Goo Dolls. Without a doubt. There is something about the song and the lyrics that really get to me. I play it when I am writing, I play it on my way to uni, I play it when I am reading, I play it just before I go to bed at night. For me, songs are more about the words than they are about the melodies and the instrumental (although, who doesn't appreciate the opening to Guns N' Roses Sweet Child O' Mine which has equally great lyrics!) The lyrics in this song are so powerful and relatable in so many ways. When someone asks me what music I listen to, I usually say rock, pop, and anything in-between. But, to be honest, I like all music. Most of the time, my music taste is quite eclectic and I have to keep my earphones on so that my parents don't have to listen to it. Generally, I appreciate anything that has moving lyrics. Sweet Child O' Mine, Time by Pink Floyd (or anything by Pink Floyd), My immortal by Evanescence, Thank you for the venom by My Chemical Romance, The Pass by Rush, Fallen Angels by Black Veil Brides (just because I can't not put a BVB song on here because I love them!). All these songs have great lyrics, in different ways. I know it can be quite hard to pick a favourite song, but these are just ones that I play a lot. I also listen to a lot of the radio one live lounges. 5SOS's drown was great, Miley Cyrus made me fall in love with Summertime Sadness which I didn't actually like when it came out and 30 Seconds to Mars cover of Stay was super cool (got to love Jared Leto!) So yeah, this post was quite random. I've been very into my music lately and these are just a few of the songs I've been at the moment.

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls lyrics

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later its over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
