Day 12

Taylor Swift – Shake It Off  – 2014

If you haven’t watched this YouTube video of a big, tough cop lip synching and car-seat dancing to Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, do yourself a big favour and click here now!

He totally nails it!

I love his facial expressions, his dancing, his rapping section… and they way he shifts in and out of the performance depending on whether he is being seen by the public is priceless.

As a person who shamelessly sings and dances in the car, it was a bit like finding a soulmate!

One time, as my husband drove us on the motorway, I was grooving out to a song on the radio, giving it my all and, as we overtook the car that had been ahead of us, we saw the driver hunched over his steering wheel in a fit of laughter.

He gave me the thumbs up, so naturally, I waved back!

It felt good to have made someone giggle as I enjoyed myself!

Do you guys sing in the car? Do you wave your arms around and seat-dance? Come on… spill!

Ciao!

Day 5

This changes everyday! But for now…

Hozier – Take Me To Church (2013)

Since first hearing this song, I have downloaded his album and listened to it daily, singing along and dancing around my kitchen.

I could have picked any song off the album, to be honest, as they are all exceptionally well crafted and completely addictive. The reason I chose Take Me To Church is that it was the very first Hozier song I ever heard… so it’s special.

His voice is extraordinary, unique and very sexy. His lyrics are simply breathtaking in their beauty and clever imagery. His guitar riffs leave me breathless and jealous as hell that I can’t play!

To say I am excited that I have tickets to see him support the Foo Fighters next May is possibly the understatement of the century!

A personal note of pride… He comes from my home county here in Ireland! #proudirishwoman!

If the heavens ever did speak /She’s the last true mouthpiece

The only Heaven I’ll be sent to / Is when I’m alone with you

Uh… take me now Hozier!

Ciao!

Day 3

Cristy Lane – One Day At A Time

Oh god the memories! My lovely, lovely mother used to sing this all the time!

She was always singing as she pottered around the kitchen, her high voice sometimes hitting the notes, other times painfully off key! She didn’t care, she just enjoyed singing.

The OH is very fond of tilting his head quizzically at times, when I am unselfconsciously singing away in my kitchen, and saying “Oh! hi there Breeda!” to remind me that I have, in fact, turned into my mother! He calls to the dogs, “Girls! your grandma stopped by to say hello!”

It’s a very sweet thing he does, and it always makes me laugh when I realise that, yep, I am my mother’s daughter.

Listening to that song as I write this is bittersweet… I lost her when I was 20. I can see her so clearly and I wipe away a tear, wishing she could be here now, with me, in my kitchen, and we could sing together.

Miss you Mam!

Day 2

Sinead O’Connor – Nothing Compares To You (1990)

I was 17, he was 21.

I was madly, insanely, hopelessly in love with him.

I thought he was too.

We slow danced to this song in our local nightclub after he told me he was leaving to work on a building site in Belgium. (yes! fucking Belgium! The dullest fucking country known in existence! He left me for fucking Belgium! Um… Apologies to any Belgian readers…)

I remember my arms around his waist, (me:5′, him:5’11”), my tears soaking into his shirt. The lyrics summed up how I knew I would feel once he had left. So, I clung to him as we danced, savouring the feeling of his arms around me, the scent of him, the warmth of his flat torso.

He left the morning of my art exam for my Leaving Certificate, (think A-levels/High School Diploma).

I ran to the train station in my school uniform to see him off… He was there in his faded jeans, leather jacket and cowboy boots, long blond curls glowing in the sunlight, his backpack resting on the ground between his knees.

The fucker got on that train without a second glance back… I went back to my exam, face puffy from crying…

I got over him. With a little help from his very, very hot best friend!  😈

Ciao!

25 Songs, 25 Days (Day 1)


I found this little game online, and thought it’d be fun to blog my answers.

I’m sure many of you will have come across it before, but hey! why not join me and play along?

IMG_3004

Day 1

Clout – Substitute (1978)

Grooving in my chair, singing along now as I play this on YouTube! Ah the memories!

I was 6 when this song came out and I loved it! Whenever it came on the radio, I would sing along, loudly, passionately, with feeling!

Cute image, yeah? It gets… well, cuter?

I was an odd kid…

I, for some reason unknown to me now, always sang it “I’ll be your prostitute, whenever you need me, yeah, yeah…”

I suspect I must have sang it wrong once and got quite the reaction from my parents and thus continued to do it for the comic effect. I was then, (and still am to this day), a little performer who gets her kicks out of entertaining people.

To be clear, I had no idea what a prostitute was at the tender age of 6… but I knew how to get a laugh from people!

That song is gonna be in my head all day now… “I’ll be your prostitute…

😂  🎤

Ciao!

💋

Addendum: Jeez guys! I must be getting ooooold coz I just realised I already did this challenge before on KittyKat! That time, my impatient nature came through and I decided to answer all 25 prompts in one go, rather than follow the rules of answering one a day…

So.. I offer you a choice.

Click 25 Songs, 25 Days to read my first attempt and you decide if I should quit now, or… if you would like me to continue the game, but this time I’ll do it one day at a time and give a more in-depth explanation, as I did today.

Give me your answers in my comments section. And forgive this daft old lady for her senior moment!

Feeling sexy…


What makes you feel sexy?

I have been in a low mood the last few days and feeling decidedly unsexy, ugly and just plain gross.

So, in an effort to lift myself I started playing music… then the inevitable urge to dance came over me.

When I dance, I do so with a total absence of inhibition.

I sway and kick my hips to the beat. I twerk, I grind, I grab the counter or sink and use it as a prop to grind and dip against.

My dogs watch and sometimes join in. My neighbours have probably watched me swinging my hips all sexy-style around my kitchen and I do not care a jot.

And after about all of 30 seconds, I start to feel like the sexiest little bitch on earth. Something about the sensuality of moving around to a grinding beat, an awesome guitar riff and a sexy voice singing even sexier words make me feel… like a sex kitten. Grinding and swaying my hips always results in me feeling, (pardon my crude language, so unusual for me!), horny as hell.

Maybe it’s the sensation of the seam of my jeans rubbing against a certain area.

Maybe it’s the sheer physicality of the dancing.

Maybe it’s the way my movements mirror movements that happen during sex.

I do not know exactly why it makes me feel this way, it simply does.

The effect is heightened if I am being watched. (I must have a touch of exhibitionism about me, who’da thunk it right?!)

If the OH is in the room I ramp the sexy up a bit. I like to think it has the same effect on him.

When I am alone I settle for picturing my neighbour watching, hoping he likes what he sees!

And I admit I tweet my music and declare my dancing to the twitterverse… (oops! Definitely more than a touch of exhibitionism/voyeur fetish I suspect!)

 –

Something has occurred to me as I write this piece, which was intended to focus on what makes me feel sexy, so please forgive my momentary digression…

Aren’t all of us bloggers exhibitionists at heart?

We all seem to nurse a deep-seated desire to share our lives, our thoughts, our fantasies, our fears and our dreams with each other.

I know for a fact that the OH, although he is always very supportive and generous in his praise of my writing, cannot wrap his head around my need to be so open and honest about my life with complete strangers.

I do not have much more insight into it other than I find writing my shit down helps me work out how I feel, why I behave in certain ways, its like my therapy. Perhaps the reason I want to share it all is in the hope that someone else will respond, saying they too have shared whatever experience I am writing about?

Perhaps I am seeking a sense of connection and understanding?

Please leave me a comment explaining why you blog, why you feel the need to share yourself, what rewards you get from it.

 –

Now, back to sexy…

I feel sexy after I have had sex or an orgasm. I find I walk differently. I carry myself differently. I make eye contact with more people and hold it for longer.

I suspect the reason for this is the validation sex gives me that I am actually desirable to someone and that my body is capable of giving me and another person such intense pleasure.

I feel sexy when I flirt and when someone flirts with me. (And readers, if you hadn’t guessed it by now, I flirt A LOT! I flirt with men, women, younger, older, babies, dogs…)  I could flirt with my own reflection FFS!

I feel sexy when I wear certain clothes. 

I am not the dress and high heels type and I never have been, (much to the OH’s disappointment!). But, when I wear my skinny jeans, my fuck-me biker boots and a sexy tight tee-shirt or lace blouse? Then I walk into a room with such confidence, it’s like I own it.

In fact on the occasions that I have worn the little black dress, stockings, shoes ensemble, (hey, I gotta keep the OH happy every now and then…), I have felt uncomfortable and unconfident in the extreme. Those nights rarely end with any sexy time because I have spent the evening fidgeting and adjusting my clothes rather than simply enjoyoing myself and my companion’s company.

I feel sexy when I wear makeup. I can leave the house without it, of course, but once the smokey eyes are done I feel like my real self. I know how ridiculous that sounds, that I feel like my real self when I wear make up! But, that is simply how it is.

I feel sexy when I write my sexy stories. I am not embarrassed to tell you I have frequently felt tingles as I write! I sit at my kitchen table, (in full view of the neighbours again!), and work out the moves I am writing. I often find that I have been stroking my throat or collarbones in the manner I have just described my character doing. I have been known to squirm in my seat!

The best feeling is when someone tells me they actually got off to something I wrote! The idea that I have helped someone orgasm with only my words and images is one very, very powerfully sexy feeling, let me tell you! So readers, do feel free to share if my words have hit the right spot for you!

I would love to hear what makes you feel sexy! Please do leave a comment and share with us!

However, sadly, as I stopped dancing to write this piece, I am now back to feeling grossly unattractive, unsexy and plain old ugly again… time to put more music on I guess?

If you are interested in some of my absolute favourite sexy song lyrics, the ones that give me tingles, check out my other post http://wp.me/p4yiok-7w

If you want to know what any of the songs are just ask! I might even post a link to it!

Lines that speak to my soul…


I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up

*

Remember when I moved in you?

And the Holy Dove was moving too, and every breath we draw was hallelujah

*

The only heaven I’ll be sent to is when I’m alone with you

*

As you slide through the door with your morals on your sleeve,

I think it’s time for all those morals to leave

*

So I’ll take you to the beach and well walk along the sand

and I’ll make you a heart pendant with a pebble held in my hand,

and I’ll carve it like a necklace,

so the heart falls where your chest is,

and now a piece of me is a piece of the beach and it falls just where it needs to be,

and rests peacefully so you just need to breathe to feel my heart against yours now

*

If I lay here,

If i just lay here,

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

*

Oh my baby, baby, I want you so it scares me to death

I can’t say any more than I love you

Anything else is a waste of breath

*

You want to know how to make me smile?

Take control, own me just for the night

*

We might make love

In some sacred place

Its not that we’re scared

It’s just that it’s delicate

*

I hurt myself today

To see if I still feel

*

Maybe I didn’t want to lose a lover and a friend

In one night

If that’s alright?

*

If the Heavens ever did speak

She’s the last true mouthpiece

*

The more you refuse to hear my voice

The louder I will sing

*

I could make you happy

Make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn’t do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

To make you feel my love

*

I’m not going to get too sentimental like those other sticks of valentines

Coz I don’t know if you are loving, somebody I just know it isn’t me

Alison I know this world is killing you

*

 This final one is a poem not a song…

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

 *

25 Songs, 25 Days… all in one day!


photo

 

Day 1 – Clout, ‘Substitute’, 1978

I was 6 years old and found it very entertaining to sing loudly, “I’ll be your prostitute, whenever you need me…”

 

Day 2 – Sinead O’Connor, ‘Nothing Compares to You’, 1990

Slow dancing in the nightclub. He left me…

 

Day 3 – ‘One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus’, no idea by who or what year.

Have memories of my lovely, (incidentally, non alcoholic!), mother singing this around the kitchen. She just liked it I guess!

 

Day 4 – Damien Rice, ‘Delicate’ 2002

The chords, the harp, the soft sound of Lisa Hannigan and him in harmony… bliss.

 

Day 5 – (cringe) Ronan Keating, ‘Life is a Rollercoaster’.

No idea why, seeing as I hate both the singer and the song. Just one of those annoying songs that bang around my head for no good reason at all.

 

Day 6 – Sugar Ray, ‘Every Morning’, 1999

Sitting in a surf bar in Fuerteventura late at night, happily sozzled.

 

Day 7 – summer? I’m blogging from Ireland you guys!

 

Day 8 – Coke Cola advert. This sweet boy made my heart melt when he told that when he was with me, life always felt like a coke cola advert. How lovely is that!

 

Day 9 – Labi Siffre, ‘Something Inside So Strong’, 1990

I literally get shivers and feel the airs on the back of my neck stand up when I listen to this powerful song. So inspiring and empowering.

 

Day 10 – I don’t have an absolute favourite band but lets go with Bruce Springsteen, ‘Thunder Road’, 1975.

This song has one of the best lines ever, in my opinion… “You ain’t a beauty, but hey you’re alright”, classy Bruce, so classy!

 

Day 11 – Liza Minnelli, ‘Maybe This Time’, 1972

Cabaret is my all time favourite film. The juxtaposition of the hedonism of the seedy Kit Kat Klub with the sinister shadow of rising Nazism is enthralling. The subplot in particular perfectly portrays the ugly face of anti-Semitism. Sally Bowles singing this song is heartbreaking.

 

Day 12 – Green Day, ‘Brain Stew”, 1996

The uber talented Billie Joe Armstrong tweeted this song this morning. It made me happy because I hadn’t heard it in too long.

 

Day 13 – Zoe, ‘Sunshine on a Rainy Day’, 1990

My college friend Linda loved this song. The trouble we got into… happy memories.

 

Day 14 – The Cure, ‘Just like Heaven’, 1987

Such a sweet love song.

photo

 

 

Day 15 – Five for Fighting, ‘Superman’, 2009

I LOVE singing this song in the car. The initial gentle high notes descending into the deeper rocky bridge is just too much fun to resist. (FYI, I do a mean Andy Dwyer from Parks and Rec’s singing voice. Cracks the OH up every single time.)

* Honourable mention to Queen/Bowie ‘Under Pressure’… I like to sing in the different accents. Such a dramatic song. Such great ad-libs from Freddy. ‘Ok!’

 

Day 16 – Damien Rice, ‘Amie’, 2002

There is something about the violin strings at the end of this song that make me feel very emotional. Tearful, but not in a sad way. The notes just hit a nerve or something. The power of music I guess, I cannot explain it.

 

Day 17 – Way too many to list for this! It’s safe to say I will dance to anything, anytime, anyplace. If a song I love comes on in Tesco, I dance. Life is too short not to.

 

Day 18 – Bob Marley, ‘Redemption Song’, 1980

I wonder why I don’t listen to this song more often? I remember on honeymoon in Jamaica, we used to pass a guy sweeping every morning and he used to be singing this under his breath. I will add it to my most played playlist today.

 

Day 19 – Ed Sheeran, ‘A Team’, 2011

Sad song. Great song. Great video too.

 

Day 20 – Fall Out Boy, ‘Yule Shoot Your Eye Out’, year unknown.

I am honestly listening to this song for the first time! It was an extra song on the Fall Out Boy download and I never made it down the playlist.

 

Day 21 – An impossible choice! I refuse to choose! Nope.

 

Day 22 – Willie Nelson, ‘Help Me Make It Through The Night’, year unknown.

A truly cringe worthy experience, when I was a young and fresh-faced 20 year old at a summer school in the UK. A much older Yorkshire man serenaded me one night in public. Oh the horror!

 

Day 23 – I cannot even write its name.

 

Day 24 – Green Day, ‘Minority’, 2000

Christmas. Crazy drunken dancing to MTV. Resulted in me almost crashing into the TV and a very badly bruised back. Great fun though.

 

Day 25 – There are several. Numbers 4, 6, 16 count.

Adele’s version of  Bob Dylan’s song, ‘To Make You Feel My Love’, Jeff Buckley’s ‘Hallelujah’, many, many Foo Fighter songs, Fall Out Boy’s, ‘Sugar We’re Going Down’. Too may to list, just like number 21.

I can honestly that say sitting here all morning, listening to some great music and allowing long lost memories to return has been a wonderful way to pass some time.

I would love to see other peoples lists.

Have go… its fun!

Ciao
