Daily Anthem – 16 December: ‘Cantina Band’ by Ash

Well, there is a bit of Ash for every occasion. In my world anyway. Yesterday saw the much anticipated release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. So I wanted a Star Wars related song.

Well, this will do 🙂

Daily Anthem – 15 December 2015: ‘If I Had A Gun’ by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

This is one of the most beautiful love songs I know. I could not tell you what it is about it, but it gets me every time. It makes me stop what I am doing and listen. It gives me that tingly feeling. I just simply love the words and the melody. It does something magic.

Daily Anthem – 14 December 2015: ‘Is This Christmas’ by The Wombats

Another seasonal tune 🙂

Daily Anthem – 13 December 2015: ‘Við Spilum Endalaust’ by Sigur Ros

Sigur Rós have been one of my favourite bands for years. I am very excited that they will be touring in 2016 and I will definitely try to catch them, whether in Holland or the UK.

Yesterday we did quite a bit of driving and played their album Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust quite a bit. We used music from that for our wedding ceremony (just had our fifth anniversary), so it’s kind of special. 🙂

Daily Anthem – 12 December 2015: ‘Christmas Moon’ by Emmy The Great & Tim Wheeler

As we have put up the Christmas tree today and decorated the house whilst listening to This Is Christmas by Emmy The Great and Tim Wheeler on repeat, today’s anthem simply had to be taken from that.

This is a really pretty song. I love her voice. There is something really lovely and natural about it.

(almost) Daily Anthem – 11 December 2015: ‘Where Is My Mind’ by Pixies

Sort of appropriate, as I have been all over the place this week. We have lots of decisions to make as to our house being built, but it’s almost too much, so we just procrastinate and not decide on anything, yet having our minds full of knowing that they need to be made and being worried about it! Does that still make sense???

We will try and use today to organise those tortured minds a little.

Daily Anthem – 9 December 2015: ‘Undone (The Sweater Song)’ by Weezer

I don’t think I have done this one yet. It was a cover Ash and 2/3 of We Are Scientists did when I saw them a few weeks ago. I found myself singing it a lot yesterday and meant to put it on, but never got round to it.

Daily Anthem – 8 December 2015: ‘Nice Guys’ by We Are Scientists

I love these guys. The more I see and hear of them, the more I love them! A new album coming out in 2016, so something to look forward to!

Daily Anthem – 6 December 2015: ‘Christmas in L.A.’ by The Killers, ft Dawes

My first Christmas song this December. Finally feel it is ok to listen to Christmas songs now. Let the build-up begin. We will be spending it with my husband’s family in England. Can’t wait to be back and catch up with friends and family. I miss it so much…

Daily Anthem – 5 December: ‘Giving Up The Gun’ by Vampire Weekend

Simply in the mood for a bit of this today! 🙂
