Song Stories - "What Songs Mean To Me". Story One: The Morning Fog by Kate Bush

Hi everyone!

This is the first part of a series of blogs that I will post sporadically.
This new series is called 'Song Stories' where I will be sharing stories behind many of my favourite songs, telling you all about exactly what that song means to me.

If you've been following my music career for a while, you may remember I had something similar to this on my music blog were I would share the story behind songs that I had written.
However, I decided to stop doing that because I felt it can distract people from having their own stories and connection to songs that I've written.

Anyway, as you may know, I love everything about music. Music is something that's very personal to me, and it's something I'm very passionate about. I often develop strong connections to songs that I hear and love, so I thought it would be cool to share those connections with you!

My first song story is about 'The Morning Fog' by Kate Bush!

Winter Music Picks - 2014

Hi everyone!

I love Christmas, but I just don't really like holiday music (Bah, Humbug!)
Call me "scrooge" all you want!

Now don't get me wrong, I can enjoy festive music when it's playing in the background of the store when I'm out doing my Christmas shopping, or if it's on at a party, but I just cannot bring myself to actually choose to listen to a record filled with those cheesy Christmas pop songs. 

There are only two Christmas/Holiday themed albums in my collection, Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas and Midwinter Graces, and they're all I need!

Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas by Ella Fitzgerald

Midwinter Graces by Tori Amos

However, winter is my favourite season, there's no doubt about it!
There's lots of music that I particularly love listening to when the air is crisp and I'm waiting for the snow to fall. 

So here are some of my favourite albums to listen to in the Winter...

8 88 by Comme Des Garçons - Fragrance Review

The scent of gold?... 

Notes: Safraleine, Pepperwood, Curcuma,
Coriander, Geranium, Amber, Incense, Patchouli

Strength: Eau De Parfum
Gender label: Unisex

Perfumer: Antoine Lie

Comme Des Garçons 8 88 is undoubtedly one of the most unusual perfumes I've ever gotten my nose on. I use the word "unusual" in the most positive way possible. I knew that, when I first encountered this, I had to own it and make it my signature scent. 

Like anybody who is thinking about buying a new fragrance should, I tested this out multiple times before finally making my purchase. These tests only made me want it more. I've had my 100ml bottle for almost a year now and I still love it just as much as I did upon first sniff. 

I think you can probably guess where this review is going, but here's my take on this fragrance.
