DIY lyric art- Katy Perry's Part of me

Whenever I need a little bit of sassy inspiration this is the song that I always turn to. These lyrics come from Katy Perry's Part of Me- yes I know that its a little old but I was listening to my ipod the other day and this song came up just when I was feeling down. This song reminds me of my holiday to Rotorua a couple of years ago because it had just come out and I was constantly listening to it. It's funny how a certain song can bring back memories of a certain time or place and this song does that to me. I remember lugeing (the Rotorua Luge is the best Luge ever), and relaxing in the spa pools. More than that though, this song is just so sassy and empowering you can't help but love it. It is just a fun song that I love to dance to in my room with the doors shut and music blasting. 

I am a little bit disappointed with how the colours turned out- obviously I need to get some better pens.

Song for Everyone - For Everyone FirstXV

I recently heard this song floating around my facebook feed and I instantly fell in love with it.
It's a charity song  raising money for the For Everyone Charitable Foundation. The foundation was created rugby players Ali Williams, Dan Carter and Richie McCaw and since I am such a big rugby lover, I have always supported the foundation. The foundation helps small community projects.

Check out their website: http://foreveryone.org.nz/

The song is sung by a number of New Zealand musicians and a small For Everyone kids choir. Some of my favourite New Zealand artists are part of this cool project including Stan Walker, Moorhouse, Jackie Thomas and more. I also saw glimpses of Kimberly Crossman, Dan Carter and lots of famous New Zealanders which is really cool. I love this song so much. I think that the song is really catchy and fun and totally New Zealand. It has a reggae/hip hop vibe with a hint of pop so it is perfect for everyone.

Please check this song out and if you like it, please buy it on itunes because the money goes towards a really good cause. 

DIY lyric art- Don't you worry child

Got lots of love from my last DIY lyric art so decided to do another one. This is the chorus from Don't you worry child by Sweedish house mafia. This song isn't typically my kind of song but I remember listening to it a couple of times and just falling in love with the lyrics. I really live the lyrics because I am one of those people that just worry themselves to death. I am always so anxious and when I was little I used to have serious panic attacks but luckily I outgrew them as I got older.

Personally these lyrics are a little reminder that there is a bigger picture that sometimes we can't see. It helps me to stop worrying and just live out my life without fear. I hope you any this artwork because I worked really hard on it.

DIY lyric art - 19 you and me

One of my favourite songs of all time is 19 you and me by Dan and Shay and I've been wanting to do some lyric art for it. The lyrics are just so beautiful and the song is really catchy. You should definitely check it out if you haven't heard it before. It's the perfect summer song ( shhh no one needs to know that it's winter here in New Zealand)

I was inspired by the lyric video for the 

song in the first scene with the car. Put my own twist on it and voila! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. 

Music Mania

In music news I am currently loving Be Okay by Oh Honey. I first heard this song on glee a month ago and instantly fell in love with it. It is so bright and cheery and is just a perfect pick me up for my mid winter blues. I highly recommend this song. My favourite line is the chorus "can't complain about much these days, I believe we will be okay" and damn ain't that the truth. 

Fifth Harmony's Boss music video came out yesterday and I can't make up my mind about. The song took me a while to get used to but now I love it. The beat is super catchy, super sassy and just fun. I love their message and I love how they stand for girl power. I've been a big fan since xfactor and I love the girls but I don't think this music video does them justice. I do love their sass in the video though. Also I am a little concerned about how provocative they are dressing in the video which sort of contradicts how they want people to respect them? But I still love them and can't wait to hear their new music. 

One music video I am loving is Megan and Liz's Simple Life video. Holy moly it is so beautiful. I fell in love with the song the moment I heard it. The music video totally does the song justice. They look gorgeous in the video and I'm really glad they kept the storyline really simple so the music and lyrics shone. I've been big fans of megan and liz for a long time but their new music is really good and throwback to their music that they first started writing and putting out which I'm really glad since I think it suits them better. This video is like a giant instagram party! I really love it. My favourite line is " I'd leave this all behind to just live that simple life". In case you can't tell i really love cheesy lyrics but the melody really suits the lyrics. P.S I'm such a sucker for country music and this totally fits that genre. 

 

DIY lyric art

Feelings a little creative this morning and inspired by lyric art I've seen on Pinterest that I decided to recreate some in my journal. This is the first one I did and it is a beautiful line from Pink's 'Just give me a reason'. For some reason I prefer lyric art to quotes. Maybe because music is so important to me and  certain songs bring special memories! Just give me a reason is such an uplifting song that I can't help but smile as I draw away.
