Now this is an interesting topic to begin with as I don't actually a favourite song- I do in fact have several. Honestly, I can't choose one specific song to be my favourite, as I always end up with different songs stuck in my head that could be deemed favourite for various reasons for the span of the days/weeks etc. they're on loop in my mind.
But that aside, there are songs out there that I do consider to be favourites, therefore in today's post, rather than pick just one song, I'm going to give 5 of my favourite songs, each from a different artist. So in no particular order, let us begin:
1. 'Loss of Control' by Green Day
The reason why this is a favourite of mine is because I relate to it. I'll admit, I'm an introvert, was never popular in secondary school & couldn't really give a damn about the vast majority of my year group & I feel that the lyrics reflect this side of me. Especially the verse that begins with "Hanging out all by myself..."- this is me & my thoughts towards certain people down to a tee.

2. 'Dystopia' by Blowsight
To me, this song is epic- a fantastic ending to an incredible album! (Dystopia Lane) The instrumentals are brilliant & help to create an atmosphere that enables this song to stand out. These plus the power & emotion in Nick's voice are what makes this song so amazing! This song also includes a lyric that I relate to a lot, which is,
3. 'A Gorey Demise' by Creature Feature
Despite the rather morbid subject matter, this song never fails to make me smile. In fact, I'd say it's one of the most cheery & upbeat songs about death I've ever heard & this dark sense of humour really appeals to me. Not to mention a character in the beginning says about it "being a bit dead" before the song actually starts- oh I do love a bit of word play!
4. '21st Century Slave' by Dope Stars Inc.
What I really like about this song is the character built within it. The whole album itself (which shares a title with the song I'm currently talking about) to me speaks of a dystopia, where the people have become drones & slaves to the mega-corporation that's taken over. This song builds on the slave idea, telling us how these kinds of people have been brainwashed & their personalities erased by the powers that be, how even their freedom & rights are being controlled. I like how the character has been built upon through song, with the industrial instrumentals helping to create an angry, dystopian atmosphere.
5. 'The Way We Are' by Cinema Bizarre
This song was my 'favourite song' back when I started college, which was the time when I'd gotten into Cinema Bizarre. One lyric in particular that stands out for me in this song &, I'll admit, is the reason it's a favourite of mine, is this:
And there we are, 5 of my favourite songs. You'll learn more about my music taste as the weeks progress, although next week I'll be breaking away from the challenge (but you'll find out more about that soon enough!).

"The antidote of pain is the parody of life,"This is a statement I believe to be true & to me, this lyric means if you can have a laugh & take the mick, it'll reduce the pain of the situation. A statement to live by, if I should say so myself.

"No hiding, no faking, this life can be amazing,"Much like the lyric in 'Dystopia', this is something I agree with. Be yourself & life will be great. This lyric is sung in a deeper voice than the rest of the song, which enables it to stand out even more & to make, makes it sound that touch more amazing. Has to be one of my favourite parts of the song.
