Music Monday-Fletcher

Music Monday is a weekly feature/meme hosted here at Always Me. The idea behind it is to share one or two songs that you have been enjoying lately. 

This week I am sharing a couple of songs by Fletcher. I started listening to her back in June when her debut single "War Paint" came out. Unfortunately, I don't think she really got enough buzz! I'm very surprised since she has a fantastic voice and catchy songs with great lyrics. Since her album "Finding Fletcher" just came out (at the end of September I think) I just had to share a couple of her songs. 

1. War Paint 

I really love the sound of this song. The drums, the little bit of banjo, it all works for me and feels fresh. I also like the lyrics which are fun, but strong at the same time. 

Lyrics: 

Bring the big guns out, shoot now 

I'll make the drums beat harder for you

Red on the ground, bleed out

I'll rub the colors on my face to prove

I'll sing it like

Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

2. Live Young Die Free

I really love how catchy this one is, especially the chorus. The lyrics for this one really resonate with me too. I love the whole, "don't play it safe, go after what you want now" kind of thing. Life is short!

Lyrics: 

I'm so sick and tired of being the one who plays it safe

Ready to start it up and make it my show

You can't be with me if you move slow

I want it now; is it so far

I don't wanna have to wait 

I like the rush; need to feel it on my skin

If it's good, then do it again, yeah 

That's it for this Music Monday! If you like these two songs, then I definitely recommend the whole album. It's only six songs, but they are all great. What do you think of Fletcher and these songs? What have you been listening to lately?
