Review: Circles by Yours Truly

Hello,


Looking for a new song to add to your summer playlist? Well, look no further than Yours Truly's latest single, 'Circles'. The Sydney based pop-punk band have just released it and let me tell you, it's guaranteed to make you want to get up and dance.

The music video is amazing too and here I am going to do a little review of it.


It begins with the instruments and microphone being set up and lights turning on so you feel like you are waiting to watch a concert. We then see a close-up of lead vocalist Mikaila as she starts singing and the other members - Lachlan, Teddie and Bradley rocking out on the guitars and drums. They are each standing in front of lights and different coloured backgrounds which I think suit this season. I love that their outfits are colour-coordinated and Mikaila's make-up is perfect, she looks beautiful no matter what! The scenes cuts to full shots of each member individually, then to close-ups of their faces and finally to a view of the whole group. The location looks like a type of empty warehouse or hall and I think it is a great place for a band to play. In some shots, we see the camera crew filming which feels like we are getting a behind-the-scenes look at the video. I can imagine being in there, standing to one side, dancing along as they film. It's cool how the song is called Circles and occasionally, the screen rotates in circles. What a great way to make it more creative and interesting. Towards the end, other young girls and women are seen in front of the coloured backgrounds singing along and dancing. They all look like they are having so much fun and the use of balloons is great. I'm sure all of Mikaila's fans will recognize one of those beautiful women, I sure did and think it's very special that she was included.










Circles is an extremely catchy tune. I've probably listened to it ten times and even as I sit here writing this, I'm bopping along. This is the kind of song I would play at a party and I get serious summer vibes from the video.





Yours Truly and anyone else involved in the making of the song and music video have done a wonderful job. Congratulations!

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
