Last Christmas & Just The Way You Are.

For 19 year old Primary Education student Daisy Minnerthey, both 'Last Christmas' & 'Just The Way You Are' mean a lot to her.

She explains:

"Firstly, coz it's Christmas.. Last christmas. 

I like both versions by Wham and Cascada... It's melody whisks me up into the Christmas spirit and gives me warm tingles. It's also relatable because many years ago I gave my heart to a guy around Christmas time and it was thrown away like the chocolates everyone leaves at the bottom of the tin coz no one wants them.. But then I found someone to give my heart to who received it with care, like it was an expensive jewel and we have spent many christmases together since.

Secondly, Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars. 

This song I think represents how every girl should realise it's okay to be different and who they are. How guys should treat their partner and what true love is like. When I've had low self- esteem this song reminds me of the truth of how my boyfriend thinks of me and how I should see myself and most important how God sees everyone."

Gotta love a bit of Last Christmas!
Although, Wham is my favorite...

I can't deny, I'm partial to a bit of Cascada from time to time :) aha!

And I agree, with you on Just The Way You Are!
(Although change the girls to EVERYONE)

- It's more than okay to be who you are! -

Thankyou for sharing your songs Daisy! :)

Greatest.

So I had the huge privilege of seeing Lady Gaga last Friday at the O2.

She was nothing short of amazing! 

Probably one of the best performances I have ever witnessed!

Anyway, I'd just like to share a song with you that makes me smile. This song isn't featured on any of her albums or singles. As it hasn't been released before it is still 'demo quality' (so I apologize - it's not amazing).

The song is called Greatest. I have no idea nor have I been able to find the true meaning behind the song but the reason why I have chosen to include this song in my blog is because of these lyrics:

"I don't know why you hurt inside
Or what was said to make you cry
I hope that you can see you are
The Greatest thing to me

And when, you're feeling like you're not enough

I'll give you wings; I'll lift you up

I hope that you can see you are the greatest

Greatest thing to me."


These lyrics always make me feel better on a bad day :)


As cliche as the lyrics appear, they still speak to anyone who is unhappy. Because the cause of the person's distress has not been identified.


I like this initial uncertainty portrayed by Gaga as I feel the song can provide general comfort to pretty much anyone having a bad time!  

Check out the song below!

P.S Happy Christmas Everyone!
Hope you have a good'un!


& I'll be back just after the New Year to post another story!
