"Here’s To
Never Growing Up" – that’s the name of Avril Lavigne’s brand new single which
has been released today!
I’m not a hard core Avril Lavigne fan, but I like most of her songs and her
music has kind of accompanied me while growing up…
I also associate
her songs with starting to learn and love the English language. This might be
because the first time I’ve heard about Avril Lavigne was in the first grade of
high school. I had a young and ambitious English teacher and she tried to spark
our excitement for English by giving us fill-in-the-blank lyrics of songs and
having us complete them while listening. The first song was “My Happy Ending”
by Avril Lavigne. I really liked the
song and bought her album “Under my skin” (I think that was one of the first CDs
I bought). Later that year we were asked to do a presentation about our favorite
artist and I did it about the Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. I think
what appealed to me was her natural style and the catchy tune of her songs.
I came
across Avril’s songs in many situations of my life:
- I loved to sing “Complicated” and “My Happy Ending” at the PlayStation game “SingStars”.
- At a kid’s holiday camp I befriended a girl who was absolutely crazy about Avril Lavigne and even tried to look and dress like her.
- In 2007 I finally received a new “fashionable” mobile phone which was able to play downloaded mp3 files and could receive them via Bluetooth (oh, I remember all of this was so exciting back then!!) The first song a friend sent me was “Girlfriend”.
- The first concert I went to was Avril Lavigne playing in Leoben in 2008. (Among thousands of fans I even accidently met the girl I mentioned before!)
- I like to watch movies and Avril wrote two songs for movie soundtracks: “Keep Holding On” for the movie adaption of “Eragon” and “Alice” for the remake of “Alice in Wonderland”, directed by Tim Burton.
I have bought all of her albums so far (“Let Go”, “Under My Skin”, “The
Best Damn Thing” and “Goodbye Lullaby”) and the funny thing is I never liked
all of the songs instantly, but as time went by my taste changed and so there
always were some songs I liked at a certain stage of my life.
A few days
ago I got to know that her new single “Here’s To Never Growing Up” would be
released on the 9th of April, so today I thought I’d check it out. I’ve
just listened to it for the first time and it seems to be a catchy, infectious,
feel good song and I don’t know if it’s due to the first rays of sun that have
brightened my mood immensely in the last few days but anyhow, I think this
could become a summer hit song for 2013.
If you're curious now - check it out: :)
I've never been a fan of her, but you are right, this song does sound like summer! :D
AntwortenLöschenand it's so funny that you actually met that girl at the concert - how big were the chances?!? :D
I think so too :) I'm just waiting for the radio channels to play it until you can't stand to hear it anymore....
AntwortenLöschenyeea, it was really a huge coincidence, I really didn't expect to meet her there !! :)
