March's Favourite...

Since I've started to work from home and at my favourite little coffee shop in town, I've been listening to a lot more music... Maybe a little much since sometimes I don't even hear the songs after a while.

Anyways... I've gathered a few songs, few of my favourites as well as an album that will be coming up soon! 

So let's start with FUR. A band from Brighton, indie and not too popular which makes me want to listen to them more. Came across this band by accident via YouTube and since then it's been playing around. There's something about the band that is catchy... So if you enjoy Indie go for it...




Next stop will be Banners. A musician from Liverpool who only started a few years ago. I first heard "Shine A Light" and then heard another song from a tv series "The Good Doctor" on episode 17. Since then I've been enjoying listening to this musician who I believe has a talent. 



Catfish and the Bottlemen is a Welsh indie rock band who I've fallen in love with. I cannot get enough of their songs, between the music as well as the lyrics. Got to first hear them back in 2007 when their first album came out, but since then, I've come across amazing songs... 



Another band which have been playing for a while now is The Wombats which is an indie rock band from Liverpool. "Kill the Director" was the first song that made me like the band as it is quite different from what I used to listen to. Still active and still going strong...



One of my 'lover boy' as to be Tom Grennan. Singer based in London caught my attention with one song ' This Is the Age' and then multiple songs followed. His voice definitely gives you chills... Plus I can't deny how handsome he is, what a bonus...



My recent discovery got me back 'home', Ireland. A young Dubliner, Dermot Kennedy, inspired a lot of my current creative writing. Calm but yet powerful voice, amazing songs got me to think a lot. His music is a blend of a whole lot got me intrigued and since then, I haven't got tired of listening to him. Homesick...




The album which is supposed to come out on the 5th of April is called "What's It Like Over There?" from my favourite band, Circa Waves. If you haven't heard from them it's an indie rock band from Liverpool. Despite being my favourite band, I truly believe they deserve a lot more credit for their music as well as their videos... Cannot wait for the new album but for now, I've got a little peak on what's coming up... 



Music has always been my cup of tea but I've recently listened to many more songs, and I cannot get over them all!

What a start...

If you have read a few of my last posts, I mentioned how I was looking for an apartment...

Well, good news! Someone has accepted me as of last month. The end of February has been about trying to get furniture for the place and where I could get the cheap but good ones.
Moving at the end of March, and I couldn't get more excited.

Despite the obvious relief I have, the stress hasn't left entirely. I need to figure out the finances aspect of the situation as well as get myself to work but also get the apartment figured out. Not a huge problem, but it does affect my anxiety as it is tax month pretty soon (it has been tax month since January for me). I've got my taxes to pay, all the furniture, groceries, and rent for the current place as well as the down-payment for the new place.
Enough about money...

The new apartment is 46m2 which is pretty big for one person but since I work from home, I might as well take the advantage of having the possibility of a big apartment. White floors, each room disposition is perfect and there are enough windows to let some light in. Big enough kitchen since I love to cook, I will take pleasure in my kitchen. And then there is the bathroom which has a bathtub... Candles and a good glass of wine will take the edge off for sure.
The bedroom leads to a small room which I will make my office! I cannot wait to turn the place into a cosy, quiet, modern but yet classy with books everywhere.

This apartment will be my very first one, one that I won't have to share with someone else and I cannot wait to decorate as I please. Eat whenever and whatever I want. To shower whenever, and to sleep full nights.
Like I said, I cannot wait...

It's not just an apartment, it's a new start, a way to get something fresh, something good in my life without worries. And maybe it will be a way for me to start asking for help, to do things with others instead of dealing with it all by myself. Get checked up by a doctor for my health which was not doing good at all.
I would never imagine myself set myself in France for a while before going back to my "home". Seems like I needed to get back to France first and finish a few things before starting my real life back in Ireland...

I will post a few photos as soon as I move into the new place...
