 ** Music **

====Julia, Lina & Louise. We chose music as a topic because it's very important for us. Our lives would not be the same without it.It's not just something you listen to, you could share feelings and thoughts by listening to the songs or the lyrics. Imagine a horror movie without the music that thrills you, or those classic songs in every romantic moment. Even though you might not think about it you are surrounded by music almost every day. Almost every lyric contains a hidden message that you will notice if you just listen to what they are singing (or screaming). Music can show your personality and maybe some people have made their life styles out of their favourite music. ====

If you want to listen to a lot of great performers on the same time, I think you should visit a festival! In Sweden there are a lot of great festivals that takes place around our country. Singers from other countries are performing as well as Sweden’s best singer. You can sleep in a tent in the festival-area which is a part of the festival culture. =====

Many good performers are coming to these festivals, for example; Lady Gaga, The Killers, Volbeat, Mando Diao. So grab your rubber boots and see you there!

This is our favourite songs ;

I had a hard time trying to figure out a favourite song, because there are so many! But most of my favourite songs are written by my favourite singer, Jason Mraz. All of his songs are written very well, and all of them has a special meaning. I think he has a hidden message in all of his lyrics. If I listen to the lyrics I think it is about a internet relationship, maybe between lovers or friends. I think it shows in a couple of lines in his lyrics, for example : "Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write kind of turn themselves into knives" and " And through timeless words in priceless pictures we’ll fly like birds not of this earth" I think it shows that two persons are chatting and maybe flirting over the internet. Overall I think this a beautiful song, and I think that you should listen to the lyrics carefully when you hear the song.
 * A beautiful mess** is one good song by him. I heard the song on the Nobel Peace Prize Concert last year.

==== As mention above is it really hard to pick just one favourite song. I have a lot of favourite songs and music has always had a big impact on my life. I often associate songs with special persons or a special feeling. Almost every one of my friends have there “own” song, so when I hear that song I always think of them. Music also affects my mood, when I listen to a song that I associate with a happy feeling it makes me feel happy and the other way around when it is a sad song and feeling. So the song I have chosen has more to do with the feeling I get when I hear it and not so much to do with the lyrics which I don’t pay to much attention to in this song, even though the lyrics contains some thoughtful words. The song is named **Samson** with **Regina Spektor** and when I hear this song it makes me feel happy and calm inside. I also think that Regina is a wonderful singer. ====

I can't really decide just one favourite song because I found new songs almost every day but **alexisonfire – boiled frogs** is my favourite at the moment, the one I listen to the most right now. Actually it was my friend who played this song for me first and we listen to exactly the same kind of music so of course I liked it. Many people (especially my sister) give me the surprising and almost shocking lock when they hear what sort of music I like listening to. I haven’t thought about why I like this song but it feels so great inside and I never get bored on it either. The lyrics don’t matter so much to me because it is the music and his voice that I like the most. When I hear the song it reminds me of a lot of good moments and friendly people that I have get to known in my life. I think it is hard for many people to relax and think clear when they hear these kind of music but for me it is totally different. It helps me focus sometimes and I can calm down and just think about all those happy moments for a while.
