Today's a midweek holiday, and the perfect time for just putting life on pause and 'being'. So it's a good thing that this song played early morning. Made me nostalgic (remember Party of Five?!). Also made me sing along and dance :-)Everybody wants to live like they wanna live, and everybody wants to love like they wanna love, and everybody ...
Liked this ever since I heard it on Step Up 3D. Although it sounds way more high pitched listening to it now (can anyone say oww?), the lyrics are rather nice. Tears don't mean you're losingEverybody's bruisingJust be true to who you are
Some of the more recent alternative tracks that are lingering in my music radar these days:Animals- Neon Trees She's a genius- Jet What's with that vid btw?!Little lion man- Mumford & Sons
Just discovered this amazing singer thanks to an episode of Bones (sometimes I'm more thankful for the music than the actual entertainment value of the drama it's featured in). Soulful voice, haunting lyrics- there's also something easing about her voice and music. Like a powerful but gentle breeze. Yeah, I love oxymorons :-)When I fallI want to be wild and ...
This is how it worksYou're young until you're notYou love until you don'tYou try until you can'tYou laugh until you cryYou cry until you laughAnd everyone must breatheUntil their dying breathNo, this is how it worksYou peer inside yourselfYou take the things you likeAnd try to love the things you tookAnd then you take that love you madeAnd stick it ...
The season to be jolly is upon us (and almost ending)- and with it comes that feeling of always wanting to dance, dance, dance. Yes, I have seasons to dance :-P Here are some of my favourite move-worthy tunes these days:Hello Good Morning- Diddy ft. T.I & Rick RossDJ got us falling in love- UsherWho's that Chick- Rihanna ft. David ...
So I went on a Tonic trip the other day, and discovered a few classics of thiers I love. I seem to be posting alot of 90s music (or in this case 90s initiated bands), but guess that's where the heart lies. Rock was so...wholesome back then. Listen and you'll know what I'm talking about. If you could only see ...
So here are some recent sampled tracks that have caught my attention.Sample from: Video killed the radio star- The BugglesSample from: What is love- No Mercy Sample from: Little lies- Fleetwood Mac
So I'm still on my 90s trip these days, and today I rediscovered Blues Traveler! I used to love these guys. I really did have great taste in music as a kid (I was in the 10-12 age group when these were released), didn't I?! Hopefully I'll pass on the genes someday :-) ...
It's so refreshing to see Rihanna frolicking around in a meadow full of flowers, and wearing glittery headbands. Maybe she felt she was getting a bit too 'hard' core with her last few songs. Of course, the lyrics are contradictory to the video, but I like that about it. It manages to combine femininity with feminism :-) And how pretty ...
Caught up on my dose of Natalie Merchant today. It simply reaffirmed my belief that the 90s was one of the best decades in music.She reminds me of Sarah Mclachlan...but that's another post altogether!
Here they are- the songs that introduced me to trance! Of course I had no clue what trance was back when I was 14, and I probably haven't gained that much more exposure since, but I loved them then and I still think they make for some pretty awesome music. ...
The recently released Kings of Leon single 'Radioactive' belowYou don't just listen to a Kings of Leon song; you feel it. It's the sort of song you want to keep to yourself, and greedily listen to when you're alone. Although this new one-and a few others I managed to listen to from their latest album 'Come around sundown'- don't create ...
Guys always seem sorrier.If I try to think up my top 5 break up, misery laden songs they will almost all be sung by men.When it comes to being shattered and willing to do anything to get the relationship back on track, male artists seem to get it spot on. They admit to being wrong, to not being able to ...
Kate Nash makes me merry merry happy :-)If you like her quirky style, check out Foundations, Pumpkin Soup, Mouthwash. Dickhead deserves a special mention too, for those moments when you need to vent quietly!
So Duffy's back! Her amazing voice and powerful lyrics quickly made her one of my favourite female artists. While her earlier album 'Rockferry' had a central theme of being self-reflective and then being assertive and moving away from a relationship (think Mercy, Rockferry, Stepping Stone, Warwick Avenue), her soon to be released album titled 'Endlessly' looks like it's continuing the ...
So listening to this song....reminded me of this song....which reminded me of this song....which reminded me of this one!Here's to nights past and the many more to come! :-)
