Well, I've kept you waiting long enough, so I'll only leave one more thing between you and my top five:
Special Mention: Every Time I Die - The New Black
Right, I found this video after I started my top 100, so I wasn't able to edit it in. I posted it before on my top 5 songs, but who reads that? Apart from you...JAMES! :p So...yeah, I'm putting this here because if I had found it earlier, it would've been in this top 5.
I like it because the guy reminds me of me: tries to be cool at parties, is seriously freaked by strange people and makes terrible first impressions ^.^ Oh and the ending is greattt!
5. Pendulum - Voodoo People
If anyone REALLY knows this song, they'd know that it was originally done by the prodigy, but then Pendulum remixed it (I'm kinda split between the both of them). I just sort of found this video while mindlessly wandering (virtually) through a music video database online, and it was awesome!
4. Weezer - Pork and Beans
I've not ever really been into this song. But the video had me right from the start. Basically, it parodies all of the Youtube Legends, from dance videos to some gay guy crying about Britney (whatever the fuck that was...). I'm lying, I've seen 90% of the videos that make up the music video: I've only not seen two.
3. The Raconteurs - Steady as she Goes
Any fan of this song may have put the video on down at hollywood bowl and seen some derranged video at a barn or something with some cows (animals, not women), this is NOT that video. This is the second version, involving an amazing soap box race between the band, all in appropriate vehicles ^.^
2. Katy Perry - Hot n' Cold
What?! Katy Perry makes it to NUMBER TWO?! Short answer: Yes. This video is so kooky, crazy wedding dress ladies, old school hip-hop, 80s style disco. But it then provides the question: Which Katy is the best? For the record, Green eye shadow = yummm.
1. Foo Fighters - DOA
Yes, that's right, Grohl and the boys made it to number 1, and no sign of Mr. Black in sight. It was practically the first music video I REALLY got into, the reasons have changed over the years but I still love it to bits ^.^
So...yeah, I hope you've enjoyed it, I know I have, looking through all those videos...Any ideas for another epic countdown anyone?

Top 5 Songs (week starting 27/07)
Labels:
escape the fate,
every time i die,
mayday parade,
music,
relient K,
the used,
Top 5
Quite a few repeats this week, and all bands you've seen before, but quite an impressive list all the same :)
5. Deathbed - Relient K
The longest song on my playlist at over 11 minutes long. The title kind of sums it up, it's a guy on his deathbed. I only really like the chorus, which is right here:
"I can smell the death on the sheets
Covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear those sad memories
Still haunting me
So many things I'd do again
But this is my deathbed
I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight
I know I'll be home"
4. Walk on Water or Drown - Mayday Parade
This song probably suits my mood quite well. Mayday Parade are quite good at suiting my mood, this is one of my favourite songs by them, I've known it for agesss. You'll see what it's about in the lyrics, good song...
Good Lyrics: "Well, this hurts me more than I can stand to say in just one sitting"
"Oh, and everybody knows this is the part
Of breaking down in anybody's arms"
"As I'm looking to the sky to count the stars
I wonder if you see them where you are"
"[Chorus]
And then I fell into pieces and she fell into me
Saying, "Play me a song
It's been too long since I've heard you sing."
And yeah, we all fall to pieces
But at least you fell to me
But this is a wrong night
Tell me goodnight and let it go"
3. The Ransom - Escape the Fate
This came up to suit my mood earlier this week, something came up that I really took a bitter approach to, this was a very good sound track to suit. Any veterans of my blog might just remember that this song came up in my second ever list, just thought you'd like to know...
Good Lyrics:
"Sending shivers right down your spine"
"[Chorus]
Quick
We have the ransom
Tell me how that you can swim
When ropes are wrapped around your limbs
Below
There's no more chances
So tell me now if you can swim
When ropes are wrapped around your limbs"
"I know you'll never change so please just hold on"
"There is a fine line between betrayal and your friends "
2. The Bird and the Worm - The Used
This song (along with my number 1) has been very consistant lately. It's moving it's way up my favourite songs list and I'd say it's probably in my top 10, possibly even my top 5. I love the line at the end of the chorus "To save his life, He crawls like a worm from a bird", I feel it suits me quite well :)
1. The New Black - Every Time I Die
I think that this has just become my favourite song. I don't know, my favourite songs tend to suit me, Adalia by Madina Lake highlighted my relationship with Ellen, so that became my favourite song back then. Call if you want to by The Riverclub was upbeat yet lonely, again, suiting me. The New Black is cocky, and about knowing who you are, even if you aren't such a great person, and I love it.
I looked up Every Time I Die yesterday and discovered that I really don't like any of their other songs. I guess they just hit it off with this one, awesome vocals that don't scream too much, cheeky little guitar riffs, cocky drums, verrrry good combination. I also found the video, which I like quite a lot. Unfortunately it's too late to add it to my list so I'm just gonna post it for you here:
Love the ending and what's going on next to the pool :p

Top 5 Songs! (Week Starting 06/07/09)
Labels:
30 seconds to mars,
eve 6,
every time i die,
music,
the used,
Top 5,
you me at six
It's been a pretty dramatic week in terms of my top five, but I think this'll do :)
5. All That I've Got - The Used
I really like the little tinkly guitar bits of this song :p It's pretty cool. I used to be in love with this song a few years back. It's all very good, and has that emotional power that the used can do :p It's actually about Bert's puppy (named "David Bowie") who was hit by a car and died. Interesting times.
Good Lyrics: "So deep, that it didn't even bleed and catch me
Off guard, red handed"
"Hit me and knock me out
And let me go back to sleep"
"[Chorus]
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got "
"I guess, I remember every glance you shot me"
"So deep that I didn't even scream "fuck me"
4. From Yesterday - 30 Seconds to Mars
At first I loved this song, then I grew to hate it. Then it came back, and here we are :) However, I have always loved the video, you'll see it sometime (hint hint). It's cool how they have that sort of quietness and then it sounds as if they're really giving it their all. I don't really like any of the lyrics though. Shame.
3. Promise - Eve 6
Yes, it did better than even I expected, Ant shall be pleased :) I like this song because it reminds me a lot of Alkaline trio and that group of bands, yet it has some pretty cool lyrics. Don't care about meaning, look at the lyrics :P
Good Lyrics: "I spit and stutter,
stuff and clutter
worries in my worried corner
maladjusted,
just untrusted,
rusted,
sometimes brilliant, busted thoughts.
Think I'll stay for a while
I'm intrigued and I'm
red as a newborn, white as a corpse."
"I promise not to-try not to-fuck with your mind.
I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine.
I promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye.
I promise not to-try not to-let you down."
"Why you gotta keep the fan on high when it's cold outside?
Just wanna let you know that I'm still a fan, get it?"
2. The New Black - Every Time I Die
Recordddd! This is the first song to be posted three times. Although it's not made it to number 1 yet, it's fast becoming one of my FAVOURITE songs =D So I'm gonna post all the lyrics and seriously recommend it!
"Baby, you got me all wrong
And maybe I am not at all down and out
I'm high and I'm in
Don't you know who I am?
I'm the jaded one with pop insensitivity
When I finish struggling,
We can make our way to the dance floor and stand like strangers
In an elevator stuck between stories
I always find myself in the middle of your stories
With the cameras as a witness I will suffer
With the cameras as a witness I will suffer
If everything I do is wrong
Then by God I'll do it right [x4]
We don't dance no no no
We got class
No we don't have any fun at all
It's the new style and we know it
We're not stunning, we're just stunned
We're lying for a living
We're lying for a living
Don't you know who I am?
I'm the real thing with the low-key sensibilities
I don't need what I've got half as much as everyone covets it
Well if loving me is wrong,
Then god damn you do it right
Well if loving me is wrong,
Then god damn you do it right
It turns us on,
To turn you down
We're turned on,
To turn you down"
1. Finders Keepers - You Me At Six
Although all the other songs on my list changed this week, this song remained the same throughout, I love the way it's sung. It's amazing. I was listening to it on repeat for a while. It's the way they vary their songs so no two song is similar, it's great. Well deserved second number one for one of my favourite bands.
You've got a nerve
Giving me the cold shoulder
Giving me the twice over, that's not deserved.
And we'll talk, again when you're sober
You said I've got cold and our heat has gone
I wanna be your eyes so you can see what you've done
I wanna be your ears so you can hear everything that's been missing
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind
I like secrets
'Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die
I guess it's a mess
That you make your bed
So why are we still laying in it
And I could barely sleep
I could barely eat
And it's been three whole weeks since I heard you speak
So hard to take that eight months was built to break
Oh I love mistakes
Especially ones you've made
(I bet you're sorry)
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind
I like secrets
'Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die
Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
'Cause she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy run a mile
And have another drink
And then think this one over
You dig yourself a grave every day you're sober
Do you see what I mean?
Have your best interest written all over me
I could never be what you need.
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind
I like secrets
'Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die
Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
'Cause she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy run a mile
And I bet you guess me right
(You guess me yes you guessed me right)
I bet you guess me right.

Top 5 Songs (Week Starting 22/06)
Labels:
cavo,
every time i die,
lostprophets,
mayday parade,
music,
playing with matches,
Top 5
Yes, while I'm doing all my other lists I have taken to time to bring you another five this week. Surprisingly, only one song has found it's way through from my top 48, which is quite impressive considering I've been listening to it for most of the week.
5. A Shot In the Dark - Playing With Matches
None of you will have heard of this unless I've sent it to you. It's one of my favourite songs of all time, I like it so much, that it's my text message tune :p I don't know what it's about because that's how unknown it is lol. Also, no lyrics because like Adalia, you WILL see this song another time :P.
4. The New Black - Every Time I Die
Do we recognize this name? We certainly do, this song has just joined the "posted twice" club! I still love it's cockiness and even the can opening sound at the start suggests that It's relaxed. I love it!
3. Rooftops - Lostprophets
Ok, the list kinda starts here :p. I rediscovered this song while watching kerrang, and the video came on and I was like "oh, I like this song!". I used to listen to it on repeat back when it came out :p Apparently it's about living your life to the full and having no regrets. I don't care, check out some lyrics (there aren't many):
Good Lyrics: "Will we make a mark,
This time.
Will we always say we tried"
"Standing on the rooptops,
Everybody scream your heart out"
"Standing on the rooftop,
Waiting till the bomb drops,
This is all we've got now,
Scream until your heart stops,
Never gonna regret,
Watching every sunset,
Listen to your heartbeat,
All the love that we've felt."
2. Champagne - Cavo
Not sure where this song came from to be honest, I picked it up while looking for sink into me I think. Anyway, it popped up while I was having a case of (virtual) road rage. And it worked, I beat Jazmine's high score with this in the back ground. It's one of those songs that has a bit of adrenaline taped to the side. I think the meaning sort of speaks for itself (a relationship ending), but I'm not certain because I can't even find the lyrics, I'll just have a shot at posting the chorus :p
Good Lyrics:
"Could've been the champagne,
The champagne,
Could've been the cocaine,
The cocaine,
Could've been the way you looked at me,
That told me we were through,
Could've been a bad day,
A bad day,
Could've been the real way
The real way,
Could've been the way you looked at me,
That told me we were through"
1. Three Cheers For Five Years - Mayday Parade
It's about time these guys got a number 1 :p I've only started listening to this song lately, it carries a lot of their emotion and it's not their most emotional song (see miserable at best). It just caught my ears while my playlist did it's thing and like other mayday parade songs, it presents real emotion, maybe not as much as miserable at best (if ever i have a depressed week that WILL be number one) and obviously it's about a breakup (most likely after five years together on their anniversary) and apparently the guy thinks that things will be better after a month apart but because the girl cheated on him he just can't forgive her. There you go.
"I swear that you don't have to go
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
I thought we could wait for the snow
To wash over Georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms
And spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars
Confess all the faith that I had in you
To late, I'm sure and lonely
Another night, another dream wasted on you
Just be here now against me
You know the words so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I died right now you'd never be the same
I thought with a month of apart
Together would find us an opening
And moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across the key
Or break down the door to your heart
Forever could see us not you and me
And you'd help me out of the dark
And I'd give my heart as an offering
And I will always remember you as you are right now to me
And I will always remember now
Sleep alone tonight with no one here just by your side
How does he feel, how does he kiss
How does he taste while he's on your lips
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you
I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
I know you want me to want you I want to"
5. A Shot In the Dark - Playing With Matches
None of you will have heard of this unless I've sent it to you. It's one of my favourite songs of all time, I like it so much, that it's my text message tune :p I don't know what it's about because that's how unknown it is lol.

How does he feel, how does he kiss
How does he taste while he's on your lips
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you
I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
I know you want me to want you I want to"

Labels:
every time i die,
lightweight holiday,
madina lake,
music,
paramore,
Top 5,
you me at six
OK, I do have a good reason as to why I didn't post this on Friday, as I always should. I kind of thought it was Thursday and was thinking "what to post tomorrow..." all day. In fact, I only realized it was Saturday when I started posting and looked at the date in the corner of my screen. It's been a long, fantastic week (more about it all another time) and I lose track of days easily :p
So, here we are again. Another week, another 5 songs for you guys.
5. Emergency - Paramore
I found this during one of my paranoid moments with me sprawled across the computer desk with my earphones on. Sort of the first time the lyrics got through to me. It's a good song and it's come sixth a few times on my "top 5" list, but here it is, gloriously in fifth :p
Good Lyrics: "I've seen love die way too many times, when it deserves to be alive"
4. Keep On - Lightweight Holiday
This was one of the songs that hit me on my London day, it came on while i was standing at the Watford Junction platform, it kind of makes sense to me, so here it is!
Good Lyrics: "I'll take your word
You've fallen for him
(I guess that was selfish of me)
And oh by the way
What would you say
To you bein' mine someday"
"I'll drive for hours to your house
I know your inside thinking of me
For hours away"
"I wrote this song to communicate
When your locked in the trunk with your mouth taped shut
You're making it hard
to scream
You're making it hard
to leave"
3. Welcome To Oblivion - Madina Lake
My other London song. I was so tempted to put this song higher up, because I do love it, and you'll probably find it on this list again sometime. As always with Madina Lake, it's about lyrics, and the way they practically shape the tune around them. It's amazing.
Good Lyrics: "(Chorus)
Welcome to oblivion
Where panic starts to settle in
And I'm afraid of everything
Oh, I lost my head again
Welcome to oblivion
Where my whole life is caving in
And I can't stand who I am
Oh, I think I'm losing it
I lost my head again"
"Then I met you
You were standing all alone, because you felt it too
The world has broken you down
You and me are gonna make it through
Because now we know there's people like us"
2. The New Black - Every Time I Die
I listen to my music at night, and I think this song's played every night this week, and I like it. Interesting tune, pretty cool lyrics. It's been a contender for weeks.
Good lyrics: "Don't you know who I am? I'm the real thing with the low-key sensibilities"
"If everything I do is wrong, Then by God I do it right"
"If loving me is wrong, then God damn you do it right,"
"It turns us on to turn you down"
1. The Rumour - You Me At Six
I have a feeling that so far, You Me At Six are the only band to top my list twice, congrats :p I'm not really sure where it came from, but this week was the first time i really listened to the lyrics, and they made sense. It was the other song I heard during my paranoid moment, kinda sorted me out.
"Well I am the cancer running through your veins
I am the sweat dripping down the side of your face
I am the pain in the back of your legs, it makes you fall to you knees it makes you believe
And I am the headline, that's going to make front page news
I am that fashion that you're all into.
We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you
We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you
I am the rumour on everyones lips
I am the curse on your girlfriends hips.
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends, oh sound the alarm.
I am that feeling, that you've done something wrong.
I am that friend , who knew all along.
We say we have our best friends yet we stab them in the back.
We try to show some love and , it's a skill that we lack.
I've had it with this crowd and I am done with this town.
I've had enough of these shows, its over with you now.
We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you
We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you
I am the rumour on everyones lips
I am the curse on your girlfriends hips.
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends, oh sound the alarm.
Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care (x2)
Hold your hands in, into the air
Oh hold on
Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care (x6)
Josh
Behind your back, they talk about you all the time
Behind your back, they spread some shit, spread some lies"
So, here we are again. Another week, another 5 songs for you guys.
