Top 100 Music Videos (10-6)

I bet my two week absence got you all really excited about my top 10. Well, my little Video Seekers, behold, the first half of my top 10!

10. The All-American Rejects - The Last Song
Yes, yes I know, three songs out of four. I chose this video over the over two because i can connect with it a lot easier, awww.

9. My Chemical Romance - Helena
This has always been one of my favourite music videos, it carries so much emotion, and is so well staged. I love it ^.^

8. Ok Go - Here It Goes Again
This music video is LEGENDARY. It's so simple yet so awesome to watch. Very clever indeed.

7. Lostprophets - A Town Called Hypocrisy
This was the first video where lostprophets stopped looking American and actually showed their true British roots, and for that, I am proud. I don't know why there's like two minutes of nothing at the end either...

6. 30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill
This video made it into my top 10 because it's full of freedom and mystery. And the bit with the argument? Better than sex (give or take).

Top 100 Music Videos (20-11)

The last installment of 10, hope you're still following (: These videos were all competitors to my top 5. Exciting times.

20. Korn - Twisted Transistor
This video was possibly one of the best ideas ever in the music industry. The members of korn are played by Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Lil' Jon and David Banner (They're all rappers, if you don't know).

19. The Automatic - Monster
Sorry but the beginning is missing on this one, this was the only version I could find. Classic song, good video.

18. Fall Out Boy - Sugar We're Going Down
This has always been one of those videos that made me feel all tingly, for some reason...

17. Good Charlotte - Girls and Boys

16. Taking Back Sunday - Sink Into Me
This man (coincidentally called Adam) has sex appeal.

15. Feeder - Just a Day

14. Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

13. The All-American Rejects - Gives You Hell
Aw, friendly competition (: against yourself?! Loving the arguement bit.

12. The All-Ameican Rejects - Move Along
:o Two in a row?! the whole shirts thing is awesome though.
11. Reuben - A Kick In The Mouth
I really like the contrasts presented in this video...And the guitar solo bit :p

Top 5 Songs (Week Starting 13/07)

We're still working off my makeshift playlist because I only made my proper playlist last night, so we're gonna have a few repeats here. I kind of think this list tells a teensy story, but then again, I'm quite a sad person.

5. Omen - The Prodigy

This isn't quite the story, this can be the theme tune. I just needed a good pace and tune to keep my brain going i suppose. Good track for walking to (y) I can't believe I just did that...

4. Never take us alive - Madina Lake

Madina Lake (I love them!) possibly their best song on the second album? Maybe. It's about some kind of battle. In the case of my "story" it can be an internal one.

3. MakeDamnSure - Taking Back Sunday

This one kind of speaks for itself (obviously you'd have to listen to it). It's really been there since two weeks ago, I just decided not to mention it last week :p

2. Monsters - Matchbook Romance

Ok, serious time now. I've considered adding this to the list for a long time, but it never quite made the cut. I guess 2 is a fairly reasonable position. I like it because of the clapping, it adds this weird sensation to the track that really brings out the meaning of them using the word "we", as if there are loadsssss of them. This adds to my "story" because we all face monsters.

Good Lyrics: "[Chorus]
we are
we are the shaken
we are the monsters
underneath your bed
yeah
believe what you read
we are
we are mistaken
we are the voices
inside your head
yeah
believe what you see"

"it came as no surprise
you bring me back to life
believe me
you bleed for me
i'll bleed for you
i caught you walking through walls
drowned with applause
from the world that makes me crazy"

1. Move Along - The All American Rejects

This song actually kicked in on the Saturday morning after my last top 5 :p On the bus to Hemel. It just makes sense to me, I pretty much needed something to kick me into gear. The end of the story is that we move along, I need to move along. The all american rejects are one of the bands I've liked for a longggg time, three years at least. However, this is probably the song that'll apply to me more than any of their others, and I take it very seriously.

"Go ahead
As you waste your days with thinking
When you fall, everyone stands
Another day
And you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your

Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold
(Speak to me)

When all you gotta keep is strong
Move along, move along
Like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along
Just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day
When you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart
That will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your

Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold
Speak to me

When all you gotta keep is strong
Move along, move along
Like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along
Just to make it through
Move along

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong
We move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong
We move along
Along, along
Along, along
Along, along

When all you gotta keep is strong
Move along, move along
Like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along
Just to make it through (x2)

When all you gotta keep is strong
Move along, move along
Like I know you do
(Know you do)
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along
Just to make it through
Move along

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrongWe move along (x4)"

Top 5 Songs (Week Starting 18/05/09)

Ok, I think this is more of a tunes than lyrics week, so stick with me on this one. It's not been that much of a music week, I've sort of been trying to devise a rough idea of my top 100 songs of all time in my head, for a blog anniversary or something. However, this is what I've got for this week:

5. Crash Romeo - Actions Not Words

Ok, actions not words is NOT a perfect song, I admit that now. The song doesn't really catch me much. BUT, there is this one line that hits me really hard. It goes "what've I done? What have I done to me?" I guess it kinda illustrates this whole ex situation (she tried speaking to me again yesterday) and what I became while i was with her...

4. Alkaline Trio - This Could Be Love

Alkaline Trio practically introducted me to rock, with a song called time to waste. It was one of the first rock songs i ever got into and I still love it. This could be love has this sinister appeal to it that manages to attract me :p

Good lyrics: "Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house"

3. The All American Rejects - The Last Song

Three years ago, I found a song called "my paper heart", I fell in love with it, and borrowed The all american rejects' first two albums. I still think their first is their best, and this is one of the songs on it, it's also one of my fave music videos :p Why do i like it? nice lyrics, steady beat, amazing instrumental. Sorted.

Good Lyrics: "You wanted the best
It wasn't me
Will you give it back?
Now I'll take the lead
When there's no more room
To make it grow
I'll see you again
You'll pretend you're naive
Is this what you want?
Is this what you need?
How you end up, let me know"

"[Chorus]
As I go, remember
All the simple things you know
My mind is just a crutch
And I still hope
That you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the last song"

2. 3OH!3 - Colorado Sunshine

It's like some kind of techno, I think. What I know about it is that it has a really catchy beat :p and the chorus is catchy too, even though the lyrics to it aren't perfect. Stick with it if ever you listen to it because the intro isn't that great, it get's good after the first verse.

Good Lyrics: "And if i had something to say to you i'd whisper it softly,
kiss you on your rosey lips and never let you off me.
shiver on your roof and see your face lit by starlight,
hold you through the night and watch that colorado sunrise."

"and as long as it's okay with you i think i'll stay right here.
i got no where to go cuz where to go is up to you, dear.
happy as a clam i see the glimmer in your eyes.
hold you through the night and watch that colorado sunrise."

1. Relient K - In love With The 80s

I love this song, the tune catches me so easily and the lyrics are delightfully punky :p it also mentions the prom a lot, so i guess it relates back to that. Apart from that, it's awesome =D

"So it was jeremy in 1983,
In his ocean pacific t,
Who got a bloody knee,
On his skateboard,
In the halfpipe,
In the backyard,
That tuesday night.

And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear,
And I've been working on this mustache all summer long,
And my favorite band will always be tears for fears,
And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom

Cuttin class through the next four window,
He's drivin fast cause he never did a thing slow,
And I look up to my big bro cuz in the eighties
all the ladies grabbed his hand
and couldn't let go.

And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear,
And I've been working on this mustache all summer long,
And my favorite band will always be tears for fears,
And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom, a pink tux to the prom.

Do, do, do-do, do, do, Pink tux to the prom,
Do, do, do-do, do, do, Pink tux to the prom

I am gonna to wear a pink tux to the prom,
Live without a care, what can possibly go wrong?

When you're the president of the breakfast club,
And you're not hesitant to fall in love,
To fall in love, to throw it away,To fall in love with the eighties.

I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom,
Live without a care, what can possibly go wrong?
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom,
Live without a care 'cause you threw it away to fall in love
With the eighties..

Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do"
