Helps me Celebrate the End of the Year
Winner: Age 13
Song title: Dog Days are Over
Artist: Florence and the Machine
Why? This song is the best because at the end of the year, when you get back from school on the last day and your exhausted but happy at the same time and you can't help but stand on your bed and sing. Where ever you are the music's contagious and you won't get it out of your head for ages!
Gets me moving
Song Title: Bombtrack
Artist: Rage Against the Machine
Why? Whenever this song comes on, I have to force myself to sit down lest I risk public embarrassment by jumping around, playing air guitar and headbanging :D
Reminds me of my ex
Winner: Age 15
Song Title: Walk
Artist: Foo Fighters
Why? Because it reminds me that no matter what happens, I can get through it. I've been through a bad break up recently and this song tells me that I can break through from the problems that have happened and start over again. I love the bridge
"You keep alive a moment at a time But still inside a whisper to a liar To sacrifice but knowing to survive The first to find another state of mind I'm on my knees, I'm waiting for a sign Forever, whenever, I never wanna die I never wanna die I'm on my knees Never wanna die..."
I love that part because it makes me feel triumphant at "Learning to Walk again." I feel like I have gone through the worst and better things are headed my way.
I can relate to it
Winner: Age 17
Song Title: Fix You
Artist: Coldplay
Why? It's such a beautiful song. I've had a lot of stuff happening lately, and the lines
"When you try your best but you don't succeed...
When you love someone but it goes to waste"
really speak to me because my life really has felt "stuck in reverse" lately! I get such a sense of hope and inspiration from the song though and sometimes music is the light that guides me home!
Keeps me sane while studying
Winner: Age 15
Song Title: Summer III
Artist: The Tumbled Sea
Why? It's very calm and puts me in the perfect mood for concentration! I put it on loop on my iPod and study for hours with this song. This song is my perfect study buddy.
Makes me think about Summer
Winner: Age 15
Song Title: My Philosophy
Artist: The Holiday Parade
Why? Makes me think of lying in the sun, just living life instead of worrying about all the things that tend to overcrowd me. It's about slowing things down, taking it easy and just enjoying yourself.
And that's it! If you're one of our lucky six, expect an email from the Bite Back team shortly about receiving your prize...
