Photo Taken By Me at C2C 2018 Girls In My Hometown  starts with a soft, slow piano instrumental which opens the song off beautifully. The first verse sees Danielle's soulful, slow vocals at the forefront with her heartfelt lyrics which I instantly caught myself being able to relate too. The lyrics are ones that you can't help but listen too extremely carefully. The chorus features some of the most incredible heartfelt lyrics in the song because let's be honest everyone will be able to relate to them one way or another. You can hear so much emotion in Danielle's vocals that at times I caught myself getting emotional. Girls In My Hometown is one incredibly beautiful song thanks to the attention to details from Danielle. The second verse of Girls In My Hometown continues beautifully as the song got a little more...

In tonight's first visit to Emmerdale (24th September), viewers saw that Belle Dingle decided to throw her 'boyfriend' Jamie Tate straight into the arms of the police by trapping him for the hit-and-run on Moira Dingle back in July. Earlier in the week, actress Eden Taylor-Draper sat down and discussed her character's actions for what we have just seen, and hints at what is next for her character. When asked about the twist which happened in tonight episode because we all know that recently Belle has been siding with Jamie Tate over anyone and anything, we saw things change with Eden revealing that " Over time, Belle obviously realised how awful Jamie can be, he did some awful things like not confessing about knocking down Moira , sacking Sam, paying Nate off - just for starters! So with Nate's help Belle hatched a plan to get more information so she could ultimately go to the police and get him sent down for everything he’s done." Emmerdale v...

You Time  starts with an wonderful guitar instrumental which sets the tone for the song off fantastically. The first verse sees Scotty's sweet country vocals at the forefront of the song allowing the meaning of the lyrics to come across beautifully, and you can hear how much Scotty means very single word that he is singing, and how happy his job makes him and hearing how passionate he is about what he does made me smile, and most of all about his wife being the most supportive one as the chorus begins. The chorus features some incredibly beautifully upbeat lyrics that you can tell he is singing to Gabi which makes me smile because their support for one another in their lines of  work is just amazing.

Photo Credit: Jeremy Cowart Country Things has an extremely country feel with a mandolin instrumental which I happen to just adore which sets the tone of the song perfectly for the guitar to come in. The first verse sees Granger's proper manly vocals shine through with all of the country feels being given off which I have to say is just incredible, and all things country boys and girls will be able to relate with!  The chorus features some fantastically catchy lyrics that are purely fun, and upbeat keeping to the theme of the song perfectly. The second verse continues Country Things beautifully with it's story of boy meeting girl and picking her up for the date etc but in such a wonderful way.

She Looks Like Me was filmed in Watford Palace Theatre. She Looks Like Me starts with a magical guitar instrumental that happens to open the song up beautifully as it is timed perfectly. The first verse sees Harleymoon's soft vocal at the forefront of the song which is rather magical, and the lyrics are so beautifully captivating that I couldn't help but feel emotional drawn in by Harleymoon's song-writing. There is something so magical about Harleymoon's attention to detail with her song-writing. The chorus of She Looks Like Me has some incredibly beautiful lyrics throughout that I couldn't help, but feel the hurt and anger over as the 'other' girl that moved on with that special person you had before. But the all the questions you have, Harleymoon added to this song is a clever move. ...
