20 (15) Songs Tag | Dance/Electronic music edition

The other day on tumblr someone asked me to post my playlist in this blog, but right now I am just listening to Martin Garrix, so that wouldn't be that interesting.  
Searching some other stuff, I found a blog where a girl had done the 20 songs tag I already did, but just with K-Pop songs, so I thought... what if I do the same but with dance/electronic songs? That way I will be kind of answering the person from tumblr (I've had to delete some questions tho. I couldn't find an answer to them xD)
 
You could say that dance/electronic music it's my favourite genre. It is what I listen the most and what my dad has been playing in the car since I was a kid (and he keeps playing it). If you also like this genre, I will recommend you to listen to a Dutch radio called 538 (I listen to it online). They always play the newest songs (not like my hometown radios), and they have different stations to choose from. Highly recommended.
 

1. Favourite Song
I love too many songs, but right now, my favourite song is "In the name of love" by Martin Garrix and Bebe Rexa. I freaking love it. I can hear it three or four times each day and don't get tired of it. Tonight at the EMA's Martin and Bebe are probably gonna perform this song together, and I am gonna sing it at the top of my lungs as I always do even though I have a horrible cold and I can't breathe xD

 
2. A song you used to love and now you hate
I don't hate it, I still like this song, but I am really tired of listening to "Closer" by the Chainsmokers ft. Halsey. Everytime it is on the radio I am like: nooo, not agaaaaain!

  

3. A song that reminds you of someone
"Under Control" by Calvin Harris & Alesso reminds me of my sister. We always really get into it when we sing it. And we always sing it wrong even though we've searched for the lyrics a couple of times.

4. A song that makes you happy
"WIEE" by Martin Garrix. Everytime I listen to the wiii I start giggling like and idiot. 

 


5. A song that reminds you of a specific moment
"How deep is your love" by Calvin Harris reminds me of me, my dad and my sister singing it on the car. My sister and I would sing the lyrics, and my dad the auuuh. And my mum would be on the background hating us in silence xD

6. You know the lyrics of this song by heart
"Don't you worry child" by Swedish House Mafia. I really like the lyrics, and everytime I listen to it I get a bit emotional because it was their last song.

7. A song that makes you dance
All the songs I listen to make me dance, but right now "Lions in the Wild" by martin Garrix (I told you I mostly listen to him xD), always makes me dance. And "Spaceships" by Area 21 (also related to Martin haha)

 

8. Favourite dj/producer
Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Avicii and David Guetta are my favourites. I am posting the first songs of them I ever heard. And fun fact about Martin and Calvin: I've been a fan of their music for years, but didn't know how they looked for a long time.
 

9. A song that you like in secret
I normally cringe at anything that sounds similar to electrolatino, but I really like this song by Deorro. Everytime Elvis Crespo starts singing I sing "suavementeeee", but it is not the same song xD
 

  

10. A song you hate
I don't hate this song, but everytime they play "This girl" by Kungs I have to turn off the volume. I am soooo tired of it. And at first I liked it.

11. A song from your favourite album
I normally don't download albums when it comes to dance music, and I believe most dj/producers don't publish them. The last album I downloaded was "Motion" by Calvin Harris. Besides "Summer", my favourite song was "Faith".

 

12. A song you can play with an instrument.
I can't play any song, but my sister can. She plays "Years" by Alesso. Such a great song!

13. A song to listen while driving
"Sun is never going dow" by Martin Garrix. You can sing and go nuts with the "instrumental" part.

 

14. A song from your childhood
"Blue (da ba dee)" by Eiffel 65. A classic. 

15. The song you want to be played the day of your wedding
"Saturday night" by Whigfield (when I was a kid it was "sararei nai" xD). Where I live, everybody knows this song and the dance that comes with it. It is old, but pubs still play it, and everybody goes to the dancefloor and starts dancing. So it would be a great song to have all my friends and family having fun.

20 Songs Tag

I saw this tag a while ago on YouTube, and because I really liked it, I thought it would be nice to do it here on the blog. This way you can also know a bit more about me. Let's begin!


1. Favourite Song

I've always found really difficult to pick a song and say: that's my favourite song. But after listening a lot of music, I finally can say that "Kings & queens" by 30 Seconds to Mars is my favourite song. Everytime I listen the drums at the beginning I'm like YEEEEEEEES!!, and the ooooh that follow them always make me sing like a crazy. "Fun" fact: I still don't know the lyrics. I know some parts, but not the whole song, and I've been hearing it for years xD

2. A song that you hate

I think I don't hate any song, but I must admit that I can't stand this new genre of music called electro latino. It is similar to reggaeton, but with an electronic touch. For example, this is a song that has been everywhere lately and that I can't stand.

3. A song that makes you sad

I don't normally listen to sad songs. Or anything similar to ballads because they bored me to dead, so I can't think of a song that makes me sad. 

4. A song that reminds you of someone

Everytime I listen to this song it reminds me of one of my cousins. We used to sleep in the same room when we were younger. One day we weren't able to sleep, so we started to sing this song but very quietly because her parents were sleeping in the next room. 

5. A song that makes you happy

This changes a lot, but right now "Olivia" by One Direction always puts me in a good mood. I always find myself singing it afterwards. This song isn't on YouTube, so if you want to listen to it, check Spotify.

6. A song that reminds you of a specific moment

I was watching this band live the same day the Spain National Football Team won the 2008 Eurocup. And it was one of the best moments of my live. We watched the game at the venue where the concert was going on, and then the band came out to play with flags, and woah. Amazing. This song my favourite from the album they were presenting at that time.

7. You know the lyrics of this song by heart

The first song that came to my mind when I read this question was "Don't you worry child" by Swedish House Mafia. It is such an amazing song! 

8. A song that makes you dance

Most songs I listen to make me want to dance, but today "Uptown funk" was on the tv and I just started dancing like an idiot. I think that's what most people do when they listen this song xD

9. A song that helps you sleep

I can't sleep if there is music or any noise at all, so I can't choose anything over here.

10. A song that you like in secret

This song is by an Spanish band that is like a copy of One Direction (or at least that's how they started). I've never liked them, but they have this song right now that it is really catchy and that I happen to like. Oh Jeez xD

11. A song you identify yourself with

I don't identify myself with the whole song, but there are some parts from "The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars I can relate to a lot. I am gonna put the acoustic version because it is simply beautiful.

12. A song you used to love and now you hate

This is not a song I hate (the lyrics are about a really important topic), but I feel a bit embarrased every time I remember that I used to love it. Oh the teenage years... xD 

13. A song from your favourite album

My favourite album has to be "This is War" by 30 Seconds to Mars (yep, they are my favourite band). And a song... "Closer to the edge". Song + video + lyrics = perfection.

14. A song you can play with an instrument.

I can play a couple of songs with a flute (the one we all over here used to play when we were kids), but the one I like the most is "Vois sur to Chemin" from the movie "The Chorus"(higly recommend it if you haven't watched it).

15. A song you would like to sing in public

"Shake it off", by Taylor Swift. Why? Because I have a whole choreography on my head and I know I can nail it.

16. A song to listen while driving

I don't have a driving licence, but any time I am on the car with my dad and my sister and "How deep is your love" is on the radio, we go crazy. My sister and I sing the lyrics and my dad the auuuh xD

17. A song from your childhood

My dad used to play me a lot of dance music when I was little, and it has influenced me a lot, because nowadays is what I listen to the most. I could choose a lot of songs, but I know this is one of his favourites (and it is an amazing song, tbh).

18. A song nobody thinks you may like

Have you ever heard about this tv show called "Supernatural"? Well, it happens to be my favourite show, and during the first seasons they used to play a lot of classic rock. I personally loved AC/DC, and everytime I tell people about that, they are like: You? You only listen to dance music and some rock! :O 

19. The song you want to be played the day of your wedding

I think this song should be somethin that means something for me and my future husband. But, if I have to choose a song, this acoustic version of "Kings and Queens" (it is my favourite song as you already know), would be perfect. The string quartet make it sound so beautifully.

20. The song you want to be played on your funeral

At first I didn't know what to choose, but after talking about "Supernatural", there was a song that came to my mind: "Carry on my wayward son", by Kansas. They normally play this song at the beginning of the last episode in almost every season (or maybe in every season, I can't remember right now), and it gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. I always think about this song like "the end song", but there always is a "to be continued". I am gonna post the original song and an a capella version I found years ago on tumblr and that I think it is amazing (so as the original version).

Hope you liked this looooooong post. If you do this tag on your blog or wherever, let me know! I find it really interesting.

Talk to you soon!
