Wordless Wednesday is a new weekly tag created by Grace at Kimmie.gg. Each week there’s a new topic, unrelated to books, which will hopefully provide some insight into my life outside of reading.
Each week, I will post a topic for a Wordless Wednesday that you may answer in whatever fashion you may like. All you need to do is link back to Kimmie.gg in your post so that I can also read your content!
This week’s theme was Songs of Your Life but I adapted it a little and called it Soundtrack of My Life. I wouldn’t say these are songs that relate to turning points in my life, more songs that, no matter how much time will pass, will always be favourites of mine. Asides from books music is one of the big loves of my life. In fact I possibly love music more than I love reading because if it comes down to it I would rather leave my Kindle at home than my iPod.
Top 15 Played Songs on my iPod
- Lorde, Everybody Wants to Rule the World
- Imagine Dragons, Warriors
- Fall Out Boy, Just One Yesterday
- One Republic, I Lived
- Fall Out Boy, Irresistible
- Fall Out Boy, Novocaine
- One Republic, Preacher
- Ruelle, War of Hearts
- Bastille feat. Gabrielle Aplin, Dreams
- Cobra Starship, The Scene is Dead; Long Live the Scene
- Imagine Dragons, I Bet My Life
- Fall Out Boy, The Kids Aren’t Alright
- Taylor Swift, Out of the Woods
- Marina and the Diamonds, Girls
- Little Mix, OMG
So, what do you think; did you take part in this week’s Wordless Wednesday or will you be taking part in next week’s? Also what are your favourite songs; do any of the tracks or bands on my list make your cut? Let me know in the comments.
Bastille is so good!

I love your taste in music, Beth! Taylor Swift and One Republic are my favorites, really, and I also love Fall Out Boys so much, even though it’s been a while since I’ve listened to them, I want to again now though! π

Thanks Marie! I’ve listened to all of their albums but I think their newest ones (Native and 1989) are my favourites to date.
Oh I listened to Fall Out Boy at least once a day, they’ve yet to release a track I haven’t loved! π

I love your choices! Though I know most of the artists you’ve listed, I can’t say I know all of the songs, but after listening, I can see why these will be lifelong favorites of yours. I think a ton of songs popular artists produce don’t get the hype they need because there’s always a title track that people listen to. For example, I just listened to Preacher by One Republic and looooved it, however the only song out of the entire album that I knew about was Counting Stars.
Thanks for participating π I can’t wait for your post next week as well!

Thanks Grace!
Yeah normally when I listen to albums I find a couple of songs I just love but because they’re not released they don’t get as much recognition. Imagine Dragons Warriors for example is my favourite of all their tracks but I don’t know if other people have listened to it as much as they would have Radioactive.
Preacher is amazing, in fact the whole of One Republic’s Native album is amazing! π
That’s all right, I had a great time with this tag and I can’t wait for next week’s one! π

I really love Lorde as well, and while I haven’t listened to many of Tove Lo’s songs I do love the track “Scream My Name”.

Check out “Stay High”…it’s really good. I can identify with it because for a long time I did stay high…just to numb it all. It’s beautiful and haunting (in a way, because it gets stuck in your brain).
