Top 5 Songs (or Tunes) Week Starting 31/08

Yeah, I've gotten into some tunes and remixes this week (yesterday) ^.^

5. 10 Miles Wide - Escape the fate
I've had this song for about 2 weeks without actually knowing what it was called, and I feel really silly for not guessing :p this is only REALLY in my list because i accidentally listened to it too much and got it stuck in my head :p

4. Warrior's Dance - The Prodigy
I've always liked the prodigy (to some extent) and i guess it's the bass that REALLY makes this tune work, it's craaaazy :p

3. Mercury Summer (Nero vs Ohms Remix) - Fightstar
In answer to your question: no. This DOESN'T count as the same song appearing on two lists, because this is totally different to the original. It's a lot more...dancey. It basically just steals some snippets of lyrics and a teensy bit of tune then puts it's own tune in and makes it sound just as awesome as the original (: short lesson for you.

2. Showdown - Pendulum
"It's been such a long time coming, I thought you'd understand" and then we kick off into the most amazing tune I've heard over the past few days. I've always loved Slam by these guys (who are surprisingly Australian, even though they're based in the UK) and I thought that nothing would equal it. I was wrong (:

1. Summer, Man - Taking Back Sunday
Ahh, you didn't expect for an actual song to make it into number one did you? Well, here you go, Taking Back Sunday make it back for...is it the third time now? Well, I believe that makes them the band to have the most number ones so far then. Anyway, it's about the summer ending, so it's pretty relevant, even though I like it for the tune and the lyrics and didn't notice until just now :p Loving it.

(by the way, I couldn't be bothered to proof check these, I just copied them. In the case that they're wrong, please call me, I'm open weekdays from 10am-8pm)

yeah,i played dead, immersed
in that technicolour kind of black and white type,
counting one, two... seven through the roof
if my lady only knew how high i am,
i am tonight

i crack open the safe myself, nine,
fourty-five, twenty-two, june until september,
three months 'til december

the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
"i'll be seeing you around."

'cause i ain't working for you anymore,
no, i ain't working for you anymore,
so go prove to the world what you
already proved
that you just couldn't do on your own.

let's have a talk about the good times
but you were always giving in
let's have a talk about the good times
boy, you were only giving in

the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
"i'll be seeing you around."
the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
"i'll be seeing you around."

let's have a talk about the good times
but you were always giving in
let's have a talk about the good times
boy, you were only giving in to...

the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
be seeing you around.

the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
"i'll be seeing you around."
the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
"i'll be seeing you around."
the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
"i'll be seeing you around."

Top 100 Music Videos (40-31)

40. Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends
Note: I hate this band.

39. Beck - Sexxlaws
This video is so weird, it's great!

38. Eagles of Death Metal - I Want You So Hard
I remember when this video first came out, and everyone was like "Oh my god! Jack Black's the barman!!!" Well, no one told me that Dave Grohl (who is SO much cooler) is the guy sitting at the bar.

37. Fightstar - Mercury Summer

36. Panic! at the Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies
Moral of this story: Life is a circus.

35. Ash - Burn Baby Burn
I love this video because it practically shows you everything you'll ever see in american high school films: Basketball and cheerleaders.

34. Jimmy Eat World - The Middle
Good "boy meets girl" story for you =D

33. Reuben - Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin
Anyone on the ball enough to remember would know that this video was originally in the 70s of my list. Proof that Rock > Science.

32. Audioslave - Cochise
I like anything involving explosives. This is like a wet dream to me.

31. Escape the Fate - Situations
Where is that school??? I'd love for Ronnie to show me around on my first day of school :p

Also, don't you think at the start Ronnie looks like the guy from the mighty boosh???

Top 5 Songs (week starting 27/07)

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 20/04)

5. Ransom - Escape the Fate
Escape the Fate's second week on my list. Although in the long term I'll always prefer Situations, I've been listening to this more lately, it's darker, but not too dark and obviously it has that amazing delivery of lyrics:D

Good Lyrics: "Tell me how that you can swim, when ropes are wrapped around your limbs"

4. Hot In The Dolls House - My Passion
I prefer this song more for the tune than anything else, I think the guitar at the start is powerful, I think that the tinkling at the end is very effective too. It took me away to a world of my own just listening to it...

Good Lyrics: "And all the girls will smile for me"

3.Save It For the Bedroom - You Me At Six

Yes, one of last week's five is still fighting strong, although it has dropped an entire place:( I've listened to this for long enough to be able to sing along now, which I do, because it's one of those tunes which is really easy to get into, especially with the bit at the end :D

2.Twenty Twenty Surgery - Taking Back Sunday

This is the song I've had for the longest time out of these five, the veteran. It's also the only band I have an album of. Why do I like it? I like a lot of taking back Sunday songs, they deliver lyrics well, they have a good pace and they have good lyrics too. It always manages to keep me singing along and keeps my mood nice and stable :)

Good Lyrics: "It's not the quantity that bothers me, it's the means,"
"You're so sensitive, I am, I am a machine,"

1.Take Me Away - Plain White T's

Don't ask, I have no idea how this made it onto the scene either. I always thought that stuff by the plain white T's would all be like "Hey there Delilah", so i was pleasantly surprised when I heard this song. It had really good lyrics, a pretty solid tune and a really nice pace. The only downside is whatever you call that noise at the start of the song, it really gets on my nerves :p that shows how much i like this song :D
(I've decided that i'll post the entire song for all number ones now)

"I know we just got here,
But I think it's time to go
I didn't wanna believe you
But now I know
You know who just walked in
And she didn't come alone
I can't stand to see this
Get me home

Take me away
I'm gonna hurt somebody
Take me away right now
How could she say
She wanted more
You'd better Take me away right now

I thought she was perfect
She thought I was perfect too
Perfect until she found someone new
Now I'm stuck here watching her
I can't take this abuse
What does this guy do that I can't do?

Take me away
I'm gonna hurt somebody
Take me away right now
How could she say
She wanted more
You'd better Take me away right now

Whoa!

Take me away
I'm gonna hurt somebody
Take me away right now
How could she say
She wanted more
You'd better Take me away right now

Take me away
Oh
Take me away right now
How could she say
She wanted more
You'd better Take me away right now
Right now"

Top Five Songs (Week Starting 13/04)

Ok, I'm gonna be doing this every friday, the songs that I've been into most this week. I'm gonna count down from five to one, and write a little about each song along the way. So here goes, the very first top five songs!

5.Chiodos - The words "best friend" become redefined

I like this song because it varies, starts heavy, goes light, nice piano tune, gets heavy again, and unlike lots of songs like this, it balances!

Good lyrics: "Let me embrace you with this kiss, and together we'll float like angels"
"If your stomach feels weak then my work here is done"

4.The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Cat and mouse

I was listening to this song all the time at the start of the week. I just love the piano tune that goes the whole way through, it adds so much depth to the song.

Good lyrics: "You said, you said that you would die for me, you must live for me too"

3. A Change Of Pace - Weekend Warriors

A latecomer to my week, only been listening to it today and yesterday, it's got such a happy theme to it and that's all amplified by the chorus. It kept me in a really happy mood.

Good lyrics: "[chorus] This can't last forever, raise a glass together, doesn't get much better,
no better than this"

2. You Me At Six - Save it for the bedroom

It's just awesome, no one can deny it, and they're brits! I think the way the chorus is structured really gives off some feeling and the lyrics are amazinggg.

Good lyrics: "Keep your hands to yourself, you know these lips belong to someone else"
"So who's keeping score, on who is a whore, with you by my side, that look in
your eye"
"Save it for, save it for the bedroom, save it for, save it for the bedroom"

1. Escape the Fate - Situations

I think I have actually fallen in love with this song. I get an adrenaline rush like, every time i hear it. The way it's strucutred is so awesome, it's hard to find a song structured or delivered better. I love it so much, that all of the lyrics are my favourite, and I'm gonna post the entire song.

Good lyrics: "Situations, are irrelevant now,
She loves the way that I tease,
I love the way that she breathes

I touched her (ooh),
She touched my (ahhh),
It was the craziest thing,

I love the girls who hate to love because they're just like me,
A certain girl she took my hand and ran it up her thigh,
She licked her lips and pulled my hair I fall in love for a night

She can't behave, and I'm just a slave,
Don’t worry, I'll be gone when the morning comes

Darling, what is going on?
Honestly, that never happened, lying is your favorite passion,
Leave me, go where you belong,
Higher heels and lipstick napkins, dying is your latest fashion

The frustration, it's a regular thing,
I hate the ones who love to hate because they're just like me,
A certain girl she took her hand and put in my lap,
"It's way too full" she said, "Once you have me you'll always come back"

She can't behave, and I'm just a slave,
Don’t worry, I'll be gone when the morning comes

Darling, what is going on?
Honestly, that never happened, lying is your favorite passion,
Leave me, go where you belong,
Higher heels and lipstick napkins, dying is your latest fashion

I know you love to resist,
And all it takes is a kiss,
And you just love to hate me.

You know you love all the lies,
So don't act surprised,
That I just love to hate you.

I kissed your lips,
You pulled my hair,
It was the craziest thing.

I love the girls who love to hate.

(Whoa) Darling, what is going on?
Honestly, that never happened, lying is your favorite passion,
Leave me, go where you belong,
Higher heels and lipstick napkins, dying is your latest fashion

Darling (leave me) what is going on?
Honestly that never happened Lying is your favorite passion,
Leave me (darling), go where you belong,
Higher heels and lipstick napkins, dying is your favorite passion."
