Song of the week - 27.8.13

Hey guys! As this is my first music post, I better make it a good one. I’m going to start with my personal recommended song of the week, and that song is Nickelback – If Today Were Your Last Day.

I loved this song from the moment it was released a few years ago. I remember watching the video for it on Kerrang and just listened to it endlessly for days. Such a good song! I recently bought their Dark Horse album from HMV and fell in love with it all over again.

Listening to it really got me thinking though. If you had one day left to live, what would you do? Patch things up with people? Do something completely spontaneous and insane? Tick that last box off your bucket list you’ve been dying to do for years but never had the guts or chance?

After having a long think about it, I realised I’d have so much to do on my last day. Admittedly, there’s a few things I’d love to do but if it was at the wrong time etc, I wouldn’t be able to do things. Like, I’d love to go to Reading Festival. I could’ve gone this year if I wanted to! Had the money, people to go with, enough bands I’d love to have seen… To be honest, as long as a festival has any bands I like, I wouldn’t mind going. But Reading is an iconic festival and definitely one hell of an experience to have! People come from so many places just for Reading Festival. Their line ups are insane each year and everyone who goes has such an amazing time. Definitely something I’d look into doing, another thing on my bucket list!

However, if I couldn’t do that for my last day, there would be a few other things I’d definitely make sure I did.

First, I would patch things up with people. There are a few people whose paths I’ve crossed and obviously not done too well with them for personal reasons. If I had one last day, I would make amends with certain people and make my feelings well known to others who have been in my life for some time, make them know just how much they mean to me. Family, friends.. Memories last a life time and it’s so important to let those in your life know just how important they are to you.

Secondly, I would either skydive, bungee jump or hopefully both! A couple of items on my bucket list which I would never have the guts to do unless I had a purpose or opportunity to do so, not really something you could do every day unless you were  completely insane! I would just love the adrenaline rush of it and just a chance to do something completely out of the ordinary and insane.

So that’s what I’d do: go to a festival (if I could), bungee jump, skydive, patch things up with people and let those who are important know just how important they are.

What would you do?
