So What If I Wish I Was A Rockstar Who Plays A Banjo And Wears A Bow Tie

Yes, the title is a real dream of mine, but for it to be complete I'd have to be a dude, and to be honest, I'm not very comfortable with that, so for now it will remain as just a dream.....

Anyways, I would like to introduce everyone to a singer/songwriter who is really talented and just generally cool! So, the artist I would like to introduce you all to is called Robbie Boyd. Google him if you want, because his songs are really cool. He sings with an english accent, and his lyrics are amazing. My favourite song is probably Never Never Land, purely because the song is about
Peter Pan! Below are some of his lyrics:
I just want to fly Rings around the moon - Amsterdam
Hearts melt Orion's Belt is always round the corner - Orion's Belt
Your heart of gold has turned Cold with war - Red Queen
I painted your face with the sun And melted your lips with jasper - Dreams of Amber

Grow back your wings And learn to fly
Never never land never gonna be a so called man - Never Never Land
Clocks ticking quickly Underneath the sky



And I'll hold my breath Waiting for your touch And I'm on my knees So baby won't you breathe with me Cause I'm tripping over love - Tripping Over Love

And now to finish, here is an Easter Playlist which I have gradually added to these past days:


Shooting Star - Air Traffic
The Bakery (acoustic version) - Arctic Monkeys
Strawberry Swing - Coldplay
Kingdom Come - Coldplay
See You Soon - Coldplay
Stylo - Gorillaz
Seaside - The Koooks
California Dreaming - The Mamas & The Papas
Hold On To What You Believe - Mumford & Sons
Rocks and Daggers - Noah & The Whale
These Streets - Paolo Nutini
Candy - Paolo Nutini
She Said - Plan B
Orion's Belt - Robbie Boyd
Never Never Land - Robbie Boyd

I'll Keep Hoping

I really really really want to go T in the Park this year. The line up is like mega awesome cooolness with people like: Paolo Nutini, Temper Trap, Mumford & Sons, Florence & the Machine, Gossip and MORE! But, this is an unlikely occurance as tickets are like £80 per day, and that's not including transport or camping or anything like that. It's so sad. One day though, I will go there for my birthday, as it's kind of close, and get one of these housing things. I actually squeaked when I saw them. They're so cute and I think they'd be really fun with friends. If you think about it, if I don't have kind of birthday celebration for a couple of years and save money it it is a possibility, but then the line up might not be good :(
Going to a festival would also give me the opportunity to buy wellies. I mean cool, funky wellies like:

Who's Got The Love?

I usually hate Rap and Hip-Hop stuff, but this sounds good to me....

You know it's good when they bring out the confetti!
