Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe you don't know you're beautiful. That's what makes you beautiful.

One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

Alright, so here's a first: a double song post. I'm not gonna lie, this was, hands down, my song of the week. I don't care what anybody says, it is a GREAT song. I have been listening to it every chance I've got because it makes me so happy. I guess it's the pop-loving kid in me, getting a chance to enjoy boy bands again. I just have to say, I am so glad that the tween girls of today have boy bands to listen to and enjoy. From the time I was a tween up until very recently, the number of pop boy bands making it onto Top 40 was little to none. I personally think a lot of young girls need to go through their tween years with boy bands in their lives - positive, emotional and lovey-dovey lyrics, cute band members singing solos, and concerts where they can go and dance and scream their heads off singing along. One Direction is perfect for all of that. I love this song for its innocent and honest lyrics and it makes me smile...and totally want to jump around and sing along to it, like a kid. Thumbs up!

AWOLNATION - Sail

Now, the reason why I'm posting a second song is because I'm pretty sure that most people that read this post have heard One Direction all over the radio. I blog to share music that isn't as well known. So hopefully those of you that are anti boy bands made it to this part of the post and will listen to the track below. Really cool and different song. Good for head bobbing. I really like the its pace...it's almost like things are happening in slow motion. I think the lyrics are describing the feelings of someone who feels misunderstood and just wants to get away from people and life and its problems. Pretty relatable, I'd say. Enjoy!
