the-coldplayer-companion and beneathmydurbansky tagged me for this shnazzy Bastille ask thingy! Thank you peeps! 1. When did you first hear Bastille’s music? OKAY SO HERE'S A LONG, UNECESSARY STORY: I first heard them on my friend's Pandora in class during the first semester of school. We had just started talking and found that we had a pretty similar taste in music so when Pompeii started playing, she asked me if I had heard it before and I said no. We listened to it for a while and I can remember thinking "This guy's voice is awful" so she changed the song and we both agreed that we hated it. A while later I actually tried listening to them but I just couldn't get into their music. Pompeii suddenly got ridiculously popular and my family and I would jam out in the car to it and it became my new favorite song and I had this weird obsession with it. I loved the song and I said I loved the band even though I never tried listening to their other music until I finally listened to their album the whole way through and I was in love! I asked the girl I mentioned before if she liked Bastille (this was a few months after we first heard them) and she was like "YES OMG DO YOU?" and of course I was like "YES OMG DAN SMITH IS PERFECT" and then I got her number and we talked for seven hours straight about music and Bastille and Dan until it was like 4 a.m. and that's how we became best friends. 2. What was the first Bastille song you heard? Eh eh oh eh oh 3. Favourite song from “Bad Blood”? Get Home 4. Favourite song exclusively from “All This Bad Blood”? Durban Skies (I mentally cry everytime I hear it) 5. Favourite cover? I would say Of the Night but I don't think that actually counts so I would say No Angels (cuz that's how I started listening to the xx-thank you Daniel!) 6. Favourite song lyric? "Are you drifting way beyond what’s normal? 'Cause 'round your mind rings the words that they would say When you go home everything looks different And you're scared of being left behind" ~The Draw But also "This is just another night And we've had many of them To the morning we're cast out But I know I'll land here again" ~Get Home And "Maybe I just want some words of destruction I feel like I'm being consumed Maybe I'm expecting the perfect reaction It's pulled me back" ~bad_news (Oh look I chose all the depressing lyrics oops) 7. Favourite live version of a song? Once I actually go to one of their concert I'll decide 8. Favourite acoustic version of a song? I love when Will plays acoustic guitar in Flaws and it just makes me really happy so my answer is Flaws 9. Favourite music video? Of the Night cuz everyone dies 10. Blame or Campus? Blame gives me heart palpitations I tag: everything-is-bullshitt (I tag you in everything, sorry Lu!) in-love-with-loneliness damnielsmith (Soz if you already did the thing) HAVE A NICE DAY PEOPLE
