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 (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 29/06)

This week's been a bit hectic really. I'm still on the spare, and I've lost another playlist so I'm gonna have to remake it (AGAIN!). So I made a really basic 17 song playlist to keep me occupied, am I bored of it, no, it's AWESOME! So before I write my top five (which is a real heavyweight list), I'd like to mention the other twelve:

Situations - Escape the Fate
Ashes, Ashes - Hidden in Plain View
Last Train Home - Lostprophets
Adalia - Madina Lake
Monsters - Matchbook Romance
Helena - My Chemical Romance
Misery Business - Paramore
Don't Bury Me . . . I'm Still Not Dead - Riverboat Gamblers
Face Down - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
All That I've Got - The Used
Save It For the Bedroom - You Me At Six
Under Pressure - The Used and My Chemical Romance
Miserable at Best - Mayday Parade

Now, are you sitting comfortably? Good. Then I shall begin.

5. The Fantasy - 30 Seconds To Mars

I used to listen to this song on repeat back when I first heard it, that's how much it threw me. I love 30 seconds to mars, I have their first album on CD (how retro am i? :P). There is a lot of contradiction to what this song's about, and to be honest, I don't care what it's about because it's just an amazingly mesmerising song.

Good lyrics: "do you live?
do you die?
do you bleed?
for the fantasy"

4. The Ghost of You - My Chemical Romance

This song was one of the late comers to my playlist, I just thought "why not?" and here it is :p My chemical romance's songs used to have really powerful choruses, and I love them to bits. It's quite obviously about a dead relationship. He uses death as explanation quite a lot, for instance, he says "she dies", meaning the moment the lies were uncovered, she was dead to him. It's so powerful, check it out.

Good lyrics:"at the end of the world
or the last thing i see
you are never coming home, never coming home
could i? should i?

and all the things that you never ever told me
and all the smiles that are ever gonna hug me
never coming home, never coming home
could i? should i?

and all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
for all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
if i fall, if i fall down"

"and i remember now
at the top of my lungs, in my arms
she dies, she dies"

3. Everchanging (acoustic) - Rise Against

Yes, it's back! This song is in my list because after two days without a computer OR music, I woke up with this song in my head. It's because my life IS everchanging (in the most improbable ways) and my latest twist has left me staring "in the face of change" I just hope the rest of the line doesn't apply to me.

Important Lyrics: "In the face of change,
that's when she turned to me and said
"i'm not sure anymore"

"have you ever been a part of something
that you thought would never end
and then of course it did"

"and now the lines are drawn
is this feeling gone?
the best parts of this have come and gone"

2. Johnny Sniper - Enter Shikari

This song is one of my favourites, because it sounds so positive. There are two meanings: the title and the lyrics. The title is based on a sex education character who had a sniper rifle that fired condoms or "johnnies", whenever a couple were going to have unprotected sex he'd fire a "johnny" onto the end of his penis (just trying to be scientific) :p Good story. The lyrics are about saving the planet. Thought I'd be blunt about that, you'll see in the lyrics.

Good Lyrics: "So this is a quest to save the world,
And He'll always be here for another,
Another day, Another chance to rescue"

"Hey Johnny!
Way to save the world!
Way to save the world!
Way to save the world!
Way...to save...the world!"

"This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive"

1. MakeDamnSure - Taking Back Sunday

The second band to get two number ones! woooo! This is from the album that I actually own (Louder Now, it's track 3, I know that off by heart) I've always loved it. This song very much relates to my life right now, in fact i used to listen to it before, it has ALWAYS related to my feelings towards a certain relationship. It's about a girl that the narrator likes, but he thinks that he's wayyyy out of her league...It's amazing how my life happens.

"You've got this new head
Filled up with smoke
I've got my veins all tangled close
To those jukebox bars you frequent
They're the safest place to hide

A long night spent with your most obvious weaknesses
You start shaking at the thought
You are everything I want
Because you are everything I'm not

And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)

I just wanna break you down so badly
I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way

My inarticulate store bought
Hangover hobby kit it talks
It says 'You, oh, you are so cool'
Scissor shaped across the bed
You are red, violent red
You hollow out my hungry eyes
You hollow out my hungry eyes

And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)

I just wanna break you down so badly
I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way
I just wanna break you down so badly
I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way

I'm gonna make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No you won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
I'll make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No you won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far

I just wanna break you down so badly
I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way

I'm gonna make damn sure
I just wanna break you down so badly
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way"

Top 5 Songs (Week Starting 08/06)

Here I am, not so bright and very early to post my top 5 songs for this week. I have a busy(ish) day later on so I decided to give you all this sooner than later. Anyone paying any kind of attention to me this week will know for sure what my number 1 is this week, the big question is: what are the other four? I was slightly confused myself, as I'd been listening to it on repeat throughout :p

5. Sleepwalking - Blindside

Sleepwalking is a song that always seemed to hit me for no reason, the delivery is just that powerful I guess. OK, after looking up the meaning for the first time, it turns out that everybody in this world is sleepwalking, because they have not opened themselves up about Christianity or something, blegh. Point it, it sounds awesome.

Good Lyrics: Now here I am, but I'm just sleepwalking
Yes here I stand
But I guess I'm just sleeptalking for myself

4. Adalia - Madina Lake

People that know me well enough know for certain that this is one of my favourite, favourite songs, top 3 for sure. I like this song because as all madina lake songs go, the tune and the lyrics merge to create amazing music, and the lyrics themselves are amazing too. I have about four different versions of this song, and I can tell you exactly what's different about all of them. From the lyrics, the song sounds like it's about a girl who's a bit unstable but the guy loves her and will do anything protect her because she reminds him of him. This is just the single version, which also happens to be my ring tone :p I'm not going to post many lyrics to this, but I can assure you that you WILL see them another time. I'm just gonna leave it as this: "I'll be chasing dragonflies from her darkest skies until the day she dies" Beautiful :)

3. Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet? - Relient K

Yes, it's Relient K AGAIN, I'm sure you're all getting bored of them now, but I recommend this song simply because it's much more grown up than other Relient K songs. It's the first song I heard by these guys and although it hasn't hit number one, it's still my favourite. It's so good, it actually makes a banjo sound serious.

Good Lyrics: "I think you know what i'm getting at
i find it so upsetting that
The memories that you select
You keep the bad but the good ones you forget"

"[Chorus]No, I dont hate you
Dont want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right now i just dont like you
Know I dont hate you
Dont want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right know i just dont like you
'Cause you took this to far"

"Make your decision and dont you dare think twice
Go with your instincts along with some bad advice
This didnt turn out the way i thought it would at all
You blame me but some of this is still your fault

I tried to move you, but you wouldnt budge
I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge
I think you know what i'm getting at
You said good-bye and i just dont want you regretting that"

2. Teasing to Please (Left Side, Strong Side) - Cute Is What We Aim For

I've just noticed that 2nd, 3rd and 4th bands on this list have all hit number 1 spot at least once :p Anyway, I like this song because ONE LINE reminds me of me, and the rest in the chorus reminds me of the situation I seem to keep getting myself into. There are only bits and pieces of meanings spread around the internet, they just give away that the heart is on the left side (strong side) and that it's about a selfish guy who's in love with a selfish girl who "gives him a run for his money". Take a look for yourself.

Good Lyrics: "'Cause conflict and make your top pick
Restitch my ripped jeans
And take the old ones
Take the old ones out back
Sew them tight at the seams please
I've got so many ripped knees"

"[Chorus] I'm selfish as selfish comes
You're giving me a run,
For my money,
Honey"

1. Sink Into Me - Taking Back Sunday

This is day 6 of listening to this song on repeat :p This may leave you wondering: How did he find the other songs? well, I found numbers 4 and 5 a few hours ago when i decided to give my whole playlist a go, I discovered number 3 while playing Need For Speed (I have a stash of music on my brother's xbox) and I found number 2 just before I got hooked on this song. Anyway, I REALLY don't know how I got so hooked on this song, it has a lively tune I guess, and I adore the lyrics. I think it's about a guy who really likes a girl and the chorus is split into two parts: how much he likes her and how he's going about trying to get her. So far I've had about four different sets of lyrics from this song in my MSN screen name :p It is possibly the best thing I've ever heard by Taking Back Sunday (I have their old album) and I don't care who misses Fred (ex lead singer), I think Adam has proved his worth!

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Come on, tell me that you’re better
And you rather just forget
That things have gone so far
Yeah, tell me that you’re better
And you'd rather just forget
That things have gone too far

You're all I see,
Sink into me
Sharpen your teeth,
Sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me

Now tell me that you’re better
And you rather just forget
That things have gone so far
You tell me that you’re better
And you'd rather just forget
That yeah, things have gone too far

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

You're all I see,
Sink into me
Sharpen your teeth,
Sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

Well, I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me
Come on and have your way with me

I'd like to be a note
The kind you could sing
But don't because you're shy
That way I'll live inside your throat
And hang from every word you spoke

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

You're all I see,
Sink into me
Sharpen your teeth,
Sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd like to see you have your way
Come on, have your way with me
(Aim for every word you spoke)
I'd like to see you have your way
(Correct each stutter, every slur)
Come on, have your way with me
(Sink into me)

Top Five Songs! (Week Starting 11th/05/09)

Ok, another busy week, so not much posting :( However, I WILL catch up on everything on here, picnics, barbeques, and various other things. I promise. But for now, you'll just get this week's share of music:

5. Statistics - Madina Lake

Yes, their album still totally bedazzles me everytime i hear it, so I'll just post my favourite song on it at the moment. I like this song for the same reason i like most of madina lake's songs: awesome tune, awesome lyrics.

Good Lyrics:
"You're a wolf, you are dressed like a fox, got me tied up in knots over you"

"I've been wrong so many times,
Let's be realistic,
I'm only a statistic to you,
And it hurts so deep inside,
Maybe I'm sadistic,
I love what you've inflicted to me"

"I just caught you like a disease
It's terminal, and I'm going down
But you're a fate that's worse than death
And I've got to get out of this mess
You're a wolf, you are
You are"

4. Damn Regret - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

This is another of those songs that i like, but i don't know why, catchy tune and lyrics i guess :p

Good Lyrics: "The moon is shining bright,
The mood is feeling right.
I'll kiss you on your neck,
People'll stare but we won't care."

3.I Am For You - Waking Ashland

What've we got here then? A catchy intro, a decent pace, good tune, and a chorus which means something to me. Perfect.

Good Lyrics:
"Don't give up, you're not thinking
Don't give up, just keep seeking
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you"

2.Slowdance On The Inside - Taking Back Sunday

We've missed the week that this song would've been number one but this week brought it all back. I've always imagined some kind of prom when i hear this song, and this IS prom week, so this is technically my official prom song :p Good Parts are the chorus and the chant at the end, and the tune is always good for me.

Good Lyrics: "[Chorus]
Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lyin' just to keep you here
So reckless, oh (so reckless)
so thoughtless (so thoughtless),so jealous
I could care less
Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lyin' just to keep you here(so reckless)
Well I'll keep you here
(so thoughtless)
I...
(I could care less)"

"Tonight won't make a difference"x10


1. We'll Be Okay - Madina Lake

Yes, this chart finally makes sense! My favourite band have FINALLY stormed this list :p Okay, this song's been helping me at the moment because I've been really paranoid about losing lots and lots of people at the end of the year, and the chorus of this song makes me feel a lot better about it. I advise everyone with that worry has a listen.

"The night is long over,but we're all still wide awake.
Huddled together,
just oping this moment won't fade away.
The sunlight makes it's way up the field toward us again
marking the end of this.

Because everyone's going their separate ways,
sometimes things just change.
But we'll never forget who we were that day,
so don't be afraid,
'cause we'll be okay.

Carved out our love
and we all broke our hearts together.
These are the times that define who we are forever.
It's hard to leave
you're just memories that I'm thinking of
that mark the end of this.

Because everyone's going their separate ways,
sometimes things just change.
But we'll never forget who we were that day,
so don't be afraid,
'cause we'll be okay.

And sometimes it's hard when everything changes.
Sometimes it feels like the world is unfolding.
This is when the impossible becomes possible.

It's hard to leave,
you're just memories that I'm thinking of
that mark the end of this.

Because everyone's going their separate ways,
sometimes things just change.
But we'll never forget who we were that day,
so don't be afraid,
'cause we'll be okay.

So unafraid, we hadn't lived.
We'll be okay.
Without a care in the whole world.
We'll be okay."

In Other News: Prom Tonight!!!

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"
