Music Monday

So this is it readers. This is it.

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank all of you that has read my blog, even for you just tumbling onto this blog. Thank you! I really appreciate people, and especially you, reading this blog because personally I didn't think I'd get any readers at all, but I've now come to over 400 views of this blog and I think that's just amazing.

It is now time for me to say my goodbye's before I go off doing all kinds of things with entering college. So, for this Music Monday I decided to go back in time to a wonderful song that I sang as a kid, but there's the twist. I have translated the song from Swedish to the English version (as it is said in the Swedish one), it is The Goodbye Song from The Bear in The Big Blue House. So without further ado, here it is.

Come here from Twitter? Or was it tumblr?
You can only send maxed letters on Twitter so it's why I brought you here.
I shut down all my social medias for a reason and that is for me entering college meaning I will live yet another chapter in my life and I don't want to share that within twitter or tumblr or instagram. I will not delete these accounts, they will be out there.

I'll miss this blog, but hey - I might come back!

Bye for now and hello for later!

Music Monday

Hello!

If you're new to read this blog, or if you've read this blog before, you may notice that the information box isn't entirely correct and that is because I had to re-plan for this summer. This summer my life takes a change, I have travel plans (you can see what I'm up to on my social medias), but then for the fall I'm going to travel all the way to USA. That's right, I'm moving from Sweden to USA for studying, I'll be there for about 1 year. This means that I'll have to say my goodbye's next Music Monday so look out for that! 

I have a special treat for you today, it's something that I made a few months back and in order to check that out go to my YouTube channel:


About the video:
In this video I had the time and emotion to sing this song called Say Something by A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera. It's a song that I could really connect to and I really wanted to let all my feelings out through a song, and this was the right one. I can't tell you exactly why I chose this song because then it becomes more personal and it's just not something I want to share with all of you, no offence. 

I hope you like it. 

Bye for now, hello for later!

Music Monday

Dear reader

Today as of any Monday, it's Music Monday! Today's content is on my YouTube channel

Click on the link below and you'll find it on my channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxUqY2RC50vvOlyItb6W1Tg

In this video I made a cover of Troye Sivan's song The Fault In Our Stars, I hope you like it.
I've seen the movie The Fault In Our Stars and I think this song should be featured on the soundtrack, and I found out that it isn't featured, but it is on Spotify so I'm happy.

Check out Troye Sivan here:

I've planned out a brief schedule of the last weeks I have left of summer and I'm sorry to say that there'll be no more Movie Weekends. Sigh. I know, I'll miss it too. I also have news that's both good and bad and that is "I'm moving to college". This means that I'm taking a LONG blog-break, for I don't know how long, maybe a year or two. The good in this is that I'm moving on with my life and the bad thing is that I'm putting this to the side. I'll see you in another Music Monday.

Bye for now, hello for later

Movie Weekend

3 notable actors: Walter Sparrow, Demi Moore & Christina Ricci

Four friends, Roberta, Teeny, Samantha and Chrissy, reunites when Chrissy is having a baby. They look back on their childhood with the memories of their '70s summer together. Their goal for that summer was to get money that they needed in order to buy a tree house. They had an adventure of getting to know each other's more and found out about each other's secrets and ...


To tell you a little something, a somebody recommended me to see this movie and so I did, thank you. I did enjoy this movie, it reminded me of Stand By Me but even better because I could relate to one of the characters. This movie had almost everything on my little "star" list, meaning it was very enjoyable for me to watch, it's a 9/10. Congratulations.

Language: English
Country: United States
Director: Bruce McCulloch
Producer: Lorne Michaels
Writer: Steve Koren
Composer: Michael Gore
Cinematography: Walt Lloyd
Editing: Malcolm Campbell
Distributed by: Paramount Pictures
Release date: October 8th, 1999

Mary (Molly Shannon) dreams of becoming a superstar in the movies so that she can get her dream kiss to come true. With attending a catholic high school and being an outcast she can get her dreams to come true by believing in herself. A talent show is held with an awesome price to star in a movie and ...

This movie was on my summer "to watch" list and I can now check it off. I think this movie has a great message of believing in yourself and not the "other kids" in high school. The main character, Mary, has a lot of confidence in her and when she is at the talent show she gains a lot more. It's a movie about standing up for yourself and what you believe you can do, dreams can come true. I give this movie a 8/10, good job.

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now and Hello for later!

Sunday Announcement

Dear reader

I will miss this Music Monday because I'll be gone on a little trip. To fill that in with something else I have news! Last friday, 13th of June, I graduated from high school and I haven't been happier. The feeling of success for I am proud of myself. For all of you like me, be proud of yourself and your development through school. You've grown and you've become more like a grown up, congratulations.
