Here you will find songs that I appreciate and love, and at the end of the week I shall make song suggestions.
I will also, every other week, have a theme where I post about a certain genre/artist/topic.
Not only that, but you will be provided with song lyrics and possible annotations with stabs at the meaning of the songsm
Enjoy. -
A song that I love:
Dedicated To Christina Li
Artist: George Watsky
Some favorite bits of lyrics
A heart breaking sounds like guitar strings snapping
Its the notes of the song thatll never happen
Except this girl named Crissie Li, who flips around at her desk
And gives me the worlds biggest Disney card
Wrote best wishes, and kisses where she signed it
3 feet by 2 feet, I coulda hid behind it
I didnt like the pity from Christina Li though
Im thinking Crissie, cant you see Im busy being emo?
Theres holes in my memory - it isnt photographic
Theres holes in my yearbook but the cut-out folks were plastic
Ten years pass, I dont cross paths
With half the people from my class again 'til we meet at Crissies open casket
Those who chose to ask it probably knew
I could have dug in deeper if Id wanted to
Would I reccomend it?
I would reccomend it, most definitely! Watsky is a slam poet turned rapper, so many of his songs have a poetic twang that for me, is irresistible. If you like a song that has the capability of telling a story and investing you, this is the song for you. Mind you, it is technically rap, so if that isn't your flavor, you could always read the full lyrics here: -
A song that I love:
Black Boy Fly
Artist: Kendrick Lamar
Some favorite bits of lyrics
I used to be jealous of Aaron Afflalo
I used to be jealous of Aaron Afflalo
He was the one to follow
He was the only leader foreseeing brighter tomorrows
He would live in the gym
We was living in sorrow
Total envy of him
He made his dream become a reality
Actually making it possible to swim
Swap meets selling our mixtapes I'm like oh s---, wait
Don't wanna be another nigga stuck regretting mistakes
Mixed feelings was my opinion I was defending my insecurities
Chillin' my conscience next to a villain
Compton made you believe success wasn't real
Be honest, none of us knew of a record deal
So as I peel through these lottery tickets
I see a Harley Davidson truck visit the same plaza we shopped
A tall nigga hopped out with Jordan's and a white tank top
He was top of the rap game, we was the top of the block
What am I to do when every neighborhood is an obstacle
When two niggas making it out had never sounded logical
Three niggas making it out, that's mission impossible
So I never believed the type of performance that I can do
I wasn't jealous 'cause of the talents they got
I was terrified they'll be the last black boys to fly
Out of Compton
Full lyrics:
*Note: if you are uncomfortable with curse words, this song includes a couple.
Also, if the word 'nigga' makes you uncomfortable, be aware that this song also uses this a few times.
Would I recommend it?
This is another song that belongs to the rap genre. It screams meaning that I feel many people should listen to and absorb. It tells of the feelings one might have witnessing the success of others from a dark place. It is a pleasing tune that I like to listen to a lot. So, yes, I recommend it. -
A song that I love:
Dosed
Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Some favorite bits of lyrics
I got dosed by you and
Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do
In you a star is born and
You cut a perfect form and
Someone forever warm
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
Full lyrics:
Would I recommend it?
RHCP is a alt. rock or funk rock band. I find this particular song to be rather melodic and very enticing. Whenever I am unsure about what I want to listen to, this is a good fallback. You can play it over and over and fall in love with it every time. I love the harmonies that are noticeable throughout the song. They are very pretty and I grow very invested every time I hear the tune. -
A favorite
Breathe No More
Artist: Evanescence
I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.
All the little pieces falling, shatter.
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together.
Too small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.
If I try to touch her,
And I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no more.Â
Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.
Lie to me,
Convince me that I've been sick forever.
And all of this,
Will make sense when I get better.
But I know the difference,
Between myself and my reflection.
I just can't help but to wonder,
Which of us do you love.
So I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no...
Bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe-
I breathe no more.
Heart wrenching and gives me chills every time. My favorite version:
