If the song's a good'un, I will have it on repeat until it is out of my head, for anything from a couple of hours to a couple of weeks. And the ones that are still stuck after that? Those are the ones I know I'll love forever.
I don't believe in aging music. I still regularly listen to songs from one of the first albums I ever put on my shiny new iPod at the age of fourteen (Rooster ♥). Hell, I sometimes listen to songs from my childhood. When I'm feeling homesick, I whap on a bit of A-Ha or Eurythmics, because they're what my mum used to listen to when she was cleaning the house when I was a kid. She had a certain CD that she always cleaned to, which kicked off with The Human League's 'Don't You Want Me'. 80's-tastic.
[In fact, there exists a video of a drunken me getting too excited in a bar when it was played, and proceeding to do a moonwalking/hoovering stumble of a dance. My mum would be so proud.]
My family are currently being subjected (in a good way!) to multiple repeats of 'The King and All of His Men' by Wolf Gang. It's more indie than I usually listen too, but it just seems perfectly suited to the muggy English summer weather of the moment.
Also on repeat recently is Maroon 5's 'Moves Like Jagger', which I love to jump and shimmy around to. I'm sure it's been entertaining the builders to no end.
And finally, a feel good summer tune by one of my girl crushes, Leighton Meester, 'Summer Girl'. I like to imagine that I'm driving along a winding country road, wearing a cowboy hat and some daisy dukes when I listen to it. Instead I'm more likely to be stuck in traffic, having to crank the air con up and down at a moment's notice thanks to this summer's schizophrenic weather.
Ahh well. Any summer song choices you'd like to share? xo.

Moves Like Jagger makes me so friggin' happy. :)
My summer song choice - the new one direction song: What Makes You Beautiful. It is so cheesy it is almost disgusting but I can't help singing it and listening to it every chance I get. :P
