We're in Love- A Take Away Show

All alone
I'd dream
Of castles
All alone
Forgetting myself

If I walk on water
When it feels like dying
We're in love
So why am I crying
Love


beautiful song... by Elysian Fields. a song i was recently introduced to by my friend, Mr. Maximusie. :)

Catch The Wind

This is a pretty old song, but it definitely still holds true today. This is by Donovan, and has often been described as one of his best works.

Here's Catch The Wind by Donovan




And if you liked that song, you would definitely like Universal Soldier by him as well.

Enjoy!

More Alternative stuff

Really great melodic song by People in Planes, called Pretty Buildings. This is a band I really recommend checking out.


People in Planes - Last Man Standing; great apocalyptic style song



Flobots - White Flag Warrior ft Tim McIlrath (singer of Rise Against)


Rise Against - Savior

Next post from me: covers!


Big music dump

Foreigner - Jukebox Hero

Great song, classic rock and gets you excited


Cloud Cult - Forces of the Unseen

Newer alternative rock; this song is great because its angry and positive and catchy.

Justin Timberlake - Losing My Way

This is a really great sound about drug addiction and pleading for help somehow.


Ill Bill - My Uncle Shoots Heroin: this is another great drug intervention song. Before Bill's uncle passed away, he got to hear this song in the studio. That is also up on youtube. He didn't seem to recognize the message. :(


Ill Bill - War is My Destiny

The best reference to Conan the Barbarian I've ever heard.


This is a song about Highlander (which has been edited down) ontop of an anime version of Highlander. Neither are good, but two wrongs does indeed make a right here.

COME UNDONE

Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real?
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers


a song that i can relate to almost always... the lyrics, the soothing rhythm...et al. have loved it since God knows when. and the lyrics above... well, let's say they pretty much define my state of mind as of now.
listen to it, and let yourself flow with it... :)

COME UNDONE - DURAN DURAN

Sing A Song, You're The Piano Man

It's been one of my worst days ever, but I listening to this song just makes it all better. It's simplicity is everything, reminding me that the world moves on and sometimes its just easier to sit and watch, instead of participating :)

Piano Man - By Billy Joel

Blinding - Florence and The Machine

I heard this song a few months ago while I was traveling for work. It's the perfect song for people crawling out of a rut in their lives. It's about an end, and the coming of new beginnings. It is about snapping out of a spell that has us blinded.

Moar stuff

GENESIS! I heard this song for the first time on a long drive the other day.


Willow Smith Some girl from YouTube with a cover of "Whip My Hair". It's actually good, which is shocking.

Use Somebody by Kings of Leon

This tune always catches my attention. This is one of my favorites by Kings of Leon and is from their album 'Only By The Night'. It captures the feeling of being invisible to someone you love, or having a different life and world from them.

New Soul

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar


I dig this song, but the song has a wack change in the middle where it goes from this rhythmic new soul song to something a bit different. The video is very cinematic, pretty cool.

Chris Webbey ft Mac Millar (sampling Aloe Blacc)



This is a rap song sampling the main riff and hook of Aloe Blacc's song and then rapping on top of it. It's got one of the more critical things to my enjoying a rap song: swag and content.

Porcelain By Moby

No matter which genre of music you enjoy, it's hard not to like this one. This song is like magic, no matter what goes around me, it calms me down.


"Porcelain"

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye

Tell the truth you never wanted me

Tell me

In my dreams I'm jealous all the time

As I wake I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind


Check it out!

The Bachelor And The Bride

Some tunes have the power to relax the mind in all circumstances. Their notes fall on our ears and instantly soothe the soul. This is one such song... check it out, if you haven't already heard it. 

The Bachelor & The Bride - By The Decemberists

One More Night - Phil Collins

...I've been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you're not alone 





soft, melancholic, sad..and maybe pathetic to some. mellow and easy on ears.. parts of it seem to be written especially for yours truly. heh.


ONE MORE NIGHT- PHIL COLLINS

You're The World To Me!

It's a quiet Saturday morning and work has taken a back seat. Here's a song that talks about people we love being our entire world. So it doesn't matter whether you step out or stay in today, all that matters is that you know who your world is!

You're the world to me  - By David Gray

Shattered - By O.A.R.

The song today is something I heard a long time ago on Pandora. Most of you must have heard of O.A.R., if not check them out on YouTube!

Here's the song: Shattered - By O.A.R. (Of A Revolution)

Enjoy!

Emotions & Photons

This song is alive with some great happy vibes. It's mellow, yet happening and definitely a personal favorite.

Emotions & Photons - By Freezepop

Lyrics:
Another day flows by, time travel gone astray
My mind in disarray, I could have run away to be with you
I could have run away to be with you
I should have run away to be with you

Once we got lost in the woods with your hand interlaced between mine
And I stared straight at the sun and imagined the beams realigned
Emotions and photons, that flicker like bees when I look in your eyes, intertwine

six stories above, I watch the world creep by
I used to be in love and that's enough to make me high on you
and that's enough to make me high on you
and that's enough to make me high on you


Enjoy!
