Halloween Playlist | prettylittlewriter


With Halloween fast approaching, I have been listening to A LOT of Halloween music. 
From Michael Jackson to the Backstreet Boys, these songs always get me in the Halloween spirit! 

These are my top five songs for the holiday!

5. This is Halloween - Nightmare Before Christmas


Let's face it, we all know there had to be a Disney song in here, it is me after all. This song completely describes Halloween to a T, and listening to this track always get me in the Halloween spirit. 

4. Feed My Frankenstein - Alice Cooper


There are a lot of Alice Cooper songs that are great for Halloween, but as this one is about a particular monster, and relating to the monster within that we 'feed' (especially at Halloween) it is perfect for this time of year. 
I love how old school it sounds too!

3. Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell


This song is so creep-tastic! I find this an incredibly fun song to sing and dance to, and really makes me want to party any time I hear it! I also love how it mentions the classic Hitchcock movie, Psycho.

2. Everybody - Backstreet Boys


The video to this song just screams Halloween. It starts out like a horror movie, with the Backstreet Boys turning into Vampires, Werewolves, the Phantom of the Opera, Mummies and Lizard men. It is such a fun video to watch, and I just love the beat. It makes me want to dance!

1. Thriller - Michael Jackson


Now this is the epitome of Halloween music. This classic MJ song is creepy yet fun, it can get anyone up on the dancefloor at a party. The video always used to creep me out, the zombies were pretty scary! With the spooky narrator and MJ's fantastic voice, this song is always at the top of my list for Halloween songs!

 Below is my Spotify Halloween playlist if anyone is interested in seeing what else I like to listen to at this time of year!

Top 5 Tuesdays | Christmas Songs | prettylittlewriter



I haven't done a top 5 tuesday in quite a while, so today I thought I'd do one all about my top 5 Christmas songs!

Every single year without fail, when getting up in the morning on Christmas day, my Dad will put a Christmas album on with all the classic tunes and we open our presents. Christmas day would not be the same without them!

1. Michael Buble - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

If I'm being honest, I love pretty much all of Michael Buble's Christmas album, however this particular song really gets me in the Christmas spirit, not to mention how awesome it is to sing along to!
I also adore 'Love' at Christmastime, and this is a great example of it! :)



2. Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas?

Now I know they have very recently released a new version of this song (which includes our very own Zoella!) however, I firmly believe that nothing can ever beat the original! Christmas just isn't the same if you don't listen to this song, and it helps you remember that not everyone is going to have a Christmas like we will. 
If you'd like to donate to the cause, please go here and help support Band Aid in fighting Ebola and helping those affected by it. 



3. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas is You

Another classic Christmas tune, whether you like this song or not, you can guarantee you know the words! Another great song to sing along too, Mariah's vocals are perfection and it is truly one of her best hits!



4. Lucy Hale - Mistletoe

Newly released by this lovely country angel, Mistletoe is the perfect tune for a cosy evening in with your partner when the weather is cold outside! This song is the perfect combination of country and festivity, and makes me wish Lucy would release a full Christmas album!



5. Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone

This song, to me, is the perfect Christmas song. It is just so 'feel good' and festive, and reminds me of opening presents as a child. This is another one of those songs that Christmas would not be the same without!


What are your favourite Christmas songs?

Review | Taylor Swift 1989 | prettylittlewriter

Apologies for being off the radar for a week or so, I've been having the time of my life down south in Devon for my niece's wedding.

I have been waiting for this day to come for months and finally it's here, the release of Taylor Swift's new pop album, 1989. I love Taylor incredibly and I knew I'd like anything she releases, but I wasn't sure when she announced this album was going to be pop instead of country, but my God she is killing it!


I thought I'd do a little review on the tracks and let you in on my personal favourites from the album!

I have found it particularly hard to select only a few favourites from every single one of Taylor's albums, and 1989 is no exception. Every time I think I've found my all time favourite, she comes along with another epic track.

1. Wildest Dreams
This is probably my current favourite from the album as it fits my personal life right now. The song is all about being with someone/meeting someone and sharing something special, and hoping that they remember you, even if it's only in their wildest dreams.
'He's so tall and handsome as hell, he's so bad but he does it so well, and when we had our very last kiss, my last request is, say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress staring at the sunset babe'

2. Blank Space
This song is all about getting into something with a guy and knowing that it is either going to be incredible or just burn down in flames but not even caring. I love this song because it's showing that Taylor knows exactly what she is doing when she gets into a relationship. 
'Saw you there and I thought, Oh my God, look at that face, you look like my next mistake'

3. Wonderland
A bonus track on the album, this song is all about falling into a kind of Wonderland with a guy; in their own little world just for them even after being warned by other people that it is a bad idea. 
'Didn't they tell us don't rush into things? Didn't you flash your green eyes at me? Didn't you calm my fears with that Cheshire cat smile?'

4. New Romance
Another bonus track, a very upbeat anthem all about not caring what others think and being different and young and reckless.
'Baby, we're the new romantics, come on, come along with me, heartbreak is the national anthem, we sing it proudly'

5. How You Get The Girl
Another really fun and upbeat song, all about the things a guy can do to win over that special girl. 
'I want you for worse or for better, I would wait forever and ever'

6. Shake It Off
Most of you will have heard this track already, and it is one of my favourites because it is just such a fun song and makes me want to dance whenever I hear it!
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play, and the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate'

7. I Know Places
Quite a dark track telling the story of a couple being hunted by what can be assumed as paparazzi, and finding places to hide and enjoy their romance.
'Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes and guns, they are the hunters, we are the foxes, and we run'

8. You R In Love
And finally, another bonus track that is all about finding an amazing love and all the little things that let you know that you are in love.
'Morning, his place, burnt toast, Sunday, you keep his shirt, he keeps his word'

Have any of you checked out Taylor's new album? Let me know what your opinions are in the comments!

Top 5 Tuesdays | Disney Songs | prettylittlewriter

If you're a regular reader of my blog, or you know me IRL, you will know how much I love Disney. It is basically my life; my true love. 
One thing I love the most about Disney movies is the soundtracks.

So for this week's Top 5 Tuesday I thought I'd share with you my favourite Disney songs.

1. Hercules - I Won't Say I'm in Love


This is my all time favourite Disney song, EVER. I love this song so much because it depicts my own feelings about love and heartbreak. I never like to admit when I like someone, even more so when I'm in love with someone. So Meg's beautiful solo truly understands my own thoughts.

2. Hercules - Go the Distance


Yes, it's from Hercules again. I think I love the songs more than I love the movie, but not by much! This song is incredibly beautiful and poetic. It really makes you think about your own life and how the lyrics apply to you. Roger Bart has an amazing voice and truly makes you care for Hercules and his struggle.

3. Mulan - I'll Make a Man Out of You


This is such a sassy song in my opinion. It is one of the funniest Disney songs there is, especially when the character of Ling sings 'boy was I a fool in school for cutting gym.'
Whenever I hear thing song it makes me want to watch the movie.

4. Lion King 2 - Love Will Find a Way


Bringing out my romantic side, this song truly gives me hope for love. It's all about how when you love someone, you can overcome any obstacle together. This is also my favourite of the Lion King movies, I prefer it to the first (don't hate me).

5. Frozen - In Summer


It has been very difficult choosing a song from Frozen as my favourite, but my love for Olaf has pushed me in this direction. In Summer is such a fun song and Josh Gadd's voice is amazing. My favourite line has to be 'Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a .... happy snowman!'

I also have another song I want to add in here, and as it isn't a Disney song so it doesn't count towards the top 5 (I'm cheating I know ^_^).

This is my Idea from The Swan Princess.


I know all the words and love singing to this! It is such a fun song and absolutely hilarious; from 'If you make me kiss her hand again I swear I'm gonna be sick' to the beautiful chorus between Odette and Derek 'Til now I never knew, it is you I've been dreaming of'. It is such an amazing movie and I could watch it over and over again.

Okay so it was really hard to pick a top 5 out of all the fabulous Disney songs out there, but there we have it. 

What are your favourite Disney songs? :)
