Everything Erin

Hey guys!

Today I’m posting my top ten songs for October. I’ll be telling you what music I’ve been enjoying throughout the month and I’m thinking of making this a monthly thing too so I hope you’ll like that!

One of my favourite songs by The Vamps is Wild Heart, and since the concert I went to at the start of the month, I’ve been enjoying listening to it all the time. I always forget how good it is and I think it’s one of my all-time favourite songs.

I could just make this list solely of Ed Sheeran songs because X has been the album I’ve listened to the most this month, but Tenerife Sea is my recent favourite. The lyrics are amazing (along with the rest of his album) and it is a really incredible song. Personally I think this is one of the best songs on his album, and I think my least favourites are actually Sing and Don’t! I just feel like I connect with songs like Tenerife Sea and Thinking Out Loud a lot more.

As soon as I heard this song on their new album No Sound Without Silence, I knew it was my favourite on the whole album. It has a real Irish vibe to it and I can’t wait to hear it live on their tour next year. I’m hoping they open the show with it, I think it would really get the crowd going!

The last couple of days I’ve had this song on repeat. I heard there was a new song by Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding and thought it would be good after I Need Your Love. As soon as I heard it I loved it and kept pressing the repeat button!

I can’t to get Ella’s album as I heard it came out recently. I loved Ghost and also have been listening to her newest song Glow. Ella Henderson has a fantastic voice and I’ve loved listening to her music lately.

Nowadays I’m not the hugest fan of One Direction but nevertheless, I was excited for their new single Steal My Girl. At the first hear of the title, I was unsure, but I was proved wrong when I heard the song. I didn’t think Midnight Memories was One Direction’s best work, but if Steal My Girl is anything to go by, it could be a good album.

I really like Olly Murs and of course was excited when he announced his 4^th album and new single. Wrapped Up comes out in November so I’m sure I’ll be listening to it a lot more then but Olly Murs is definitely one to watch and his next album could be another great one if this first song is anything to go by.

Another one by Calvin Harris, this time featuring John Newman. I like John Newman’s voice and he is one of my best friend’s favourites so he always reminds me of her. I have listened to Blame a lot this month, it’s a great song.

As much as I don't really like Paloma Faith, but I LOVE this song! I've been listening to it a lot since I heard someone perform it on the X Factor and really like the chorus part especially.

As a huge McFly fan, I was a little disappointed with Air Guitar – I have to be honest. I didn’t feel Air Guitar was what McFly would sing and compare the lyrics of a song like Love Is Easy to Air Guitar (karaoke and dating popstars?!); there is definitely no comparison. I was also slightly annoyed that Danny only got two songs and James and Matt sang so much. However, the track has definitely grown on me since the first listen and I actually quite like it now. It is a little bit outdated and sounds like it belongs in the days of Busted in 2003, but it’s a fun song. I’m quite looking forward to hearing their album in December… I’ll look past the terrible song titles like “How’s Your Hair” and “In Da Club” and hope some of the songs have better lyrics and sound a little more like the McFly I know and love.

So that’s my top ten songs of October! Make sure you comment your favourite song of the month and let me know if you’re excited for November’s songs! I’m also now hoping to post once a week so you’ll be hearing a lot more from me from now on!

Where and when did you see them?

I went to see them in Liverpool on Saturday, 4^th October 2014.

Who was their support acts and what did you 

think of them?

Their support acts were E Of E, Nina Nesbitt and Luke Friend. I had seen E Of E before when they supported McBusted too so I knew what they sounded like and they were quite good; they sang 4 songs, 3 original and 1 cover. Then there was Luke Friend, who I was a huge fan of on X Factor and he failed to disappoint me. The only disappointment was he only performed two songs but both originals so that was good. Nina Nesbitt was the final support act, I hadn’t heard of her but she was quite good too – also only performed two songs but that was alright as I was ready for The Vamps to come on by that point. 

So, how were The Vamps?

The Vamps were beyond amazing! When the lights went dark, they showed the music video of Cecilia on the screens to get the crowd ready. They then came on and it was so exciting I even cried – not suprising as I’m very emotional! I was only disappointed in the fact they didn’t perform Shout About It, which I has seen on other show’s setlists but they didn’t perform it at our concert. Liverpool was actually their first ever headline arena – the earlier dates of the tour were all theatres – so it was even more exciting.

Favourite moments?

I want to say all of it! But I think when they came on at first, it was very exciting.
