Blog: Let's Take it One by One

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - Apologies "My love is like a blanket That gets a little bit too warm sometimes I wanna wrap somebody in it Who can hold me in his arms Cause when it got a little too hot in there He was always stepping out for air and he froze Oh he froze" I usually try to just choose a few lines, but I liked this whole verse. Another pandora find here. Has a little bit of that twangy feel to it, but not [...]

Foster the People - Helena Beat "You know that I could not believe my own truth Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose" I dunno why but I thought these guys were gonna be a older, and not as good looking as they are. I thought they might have a Mumford & Sons look for some reason haha. Okay, so it took a little bit of thinking to put this song but because I really don't care for "Pumped Up Kicks". I heard the back story to that song and [...]

Fujiya & Miyagi - Collarbone "What she gonna do with a fool like you?" I know I am not the only one to think that this might be a Japanese group by the name right? So that is what caught my attention first. I think I saw it a few years back on my friends facebook posts, and i started playing it and got surprised that they did not sound Japanese at all. This song actually took me a few listens to get into, but now I rarely skip it when it comes up [...]

Onra - Anthem 2 posts, 1 day?? what? been awhile huh? gotta make up for lost time haha. Anyways, everyone please stop and take a moment to appreciate this man. I have found a new hapa crush. First discovered through him excellence in musicianship, then finding out he is my "type" of man just has made this week full of bliss for me. He is beyond talented and making a name for himself through his beats. Oh yes, his hapa mix is half korean half french. so back off ladies ;p well we all know [...]

Shad - Lucky 12s "But I hope to plant my seeds before I leave Believing that hope grows even in the stone cold" I am often reminded through my spotify inbox of good songs that I forget temporarily, but then always come back to. Glad I found this jewel again to. Shad is a artist born in Kenya but has a lot of French influence, which apparently has been my thing today. My next post will go more into detail why. The female vocals on Lucky 12s captures me. Shad's flow, but the [...]

Anjulie - Rain "What do I do with this fire inside of me?" Honestly I love the album cover this song is featured in and considered putting that as the picture for this track, but the colors in this, and the girl power-esque stance of Anjulie caught my eye so I chose this one instead. Maaaannnn so Canada knows how to breed a good bunch of artists wouldn't you say? Her R&B feel to this track is very easy listening and enjoyable. Friends, I have fallen in love with spotify, being able to send [...]

Amos Lee - Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight "and sometimes we forget what we got who we are, and who we are not" I like soulful songs, I do try to be more diverse with this blog, but you probably can tell by now what my particular taste it. I love to have a good time, and go out and dance of course, so you'll see a good share of dance/electro tunes, but my heart is most at ease with the slow tunes. Even for bands that don't focus on the [...]

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill "You, It's you and me, It's you and me who won't be unhappy." Alright I think I'm doing pretty good representing some more girl power on here. I go a lot of times with just putting up all male voices, and not enough female representation. Makes me sad so I am a little happy now. So this song on last.fm is tells me that I scrobbled it in 2009. That is one of the things I love about last.fm keeping track of all this stuff. [...]

Robin Thicke - Dreamworld "I wouldn't be so damn sensitive, I'd let things go by No matter what the weather, I'd learn to change, I'd change with the time" So ladies, we all know how Robin Thicke's voice just makes us melt inside. Like how does he know exactly what to say and what tone to hit that just makes your lady parts tickle??? (don't be nasty haha) In your mind ladies, in your mind. But he does it right for sure, and this sultry sound that he has in his voice just [...]

Agnes - Release Me Let's put on our dancing shoes everyone. This is a good one to hear in the club and just get you all hyped up and jumping around right? But take a listen to the lyrics when you get a chance. I heard this one day during work, and I'm sure I had heard it before, but I took the time to actually hear the words coming from the jukebox and it meant more and sunk in that time. Yes, those who personally know me, know that I have been to my share [...]

Frank Ocean - Acura Integurl "Wrote a letter to the sky writing maybe one day you'll get to kiss me" Man, it's been awhile huh? Sorry friends But when I hear a song worth blogging about is when I get inspired. This track may only be 2 minutes, but it is 2 minutes of pure goodness. There is probably many who love or hate Frank Ocean, but every time I hear his name its so fresh, and exactly how this picture depicts his name is how I see it in my [...]

Muse - Sing for Absolution "there's nowhere left to hide in no one to confide the truth burns deep inside and will never die" I had to post and listen to this song since it wasn't performed last night, my favorite Muse song, but still Muse was ammaaazzziiiing. This is my second time seeing them live, although my friends would beg to differ. I saw them about.... maybe 4 years or so ago? and well I had an extremely long day, and we had very crappy seats, so I kind of [...]

John Mayer - Say "Take all of your wasted honor Every little past frustration Take all of your so-called problems, Better put 'em in quotations Say what you need to say Walking like a one man army Fighting with the shadows in your head Living out the same old moment Knowing you'd be better off instead, If you could only . . . Say what you need to say Have no fear for giving in Have no fear for giving [...]

Missy Higgins - All for Believing "Just believe. Just believe. Just believe." Believing is a hard thing to do. Trusting people. For some it comes more naturally then others. But its so hard when that trust has been broken, to trust again. I know though, that I have gone against the truth a few times and need people to trust me again. Its just such a point of vulnerability. It's like let me peel off that layer of skin and just see everything within you. Trusting people. But without trust, true relationships cannot be [...]

Nicki Minaj - Save Me I love how eventually in a few years I can look back on this blog and remember everything I did in chronological order. Or even just how I was feeling at a particular moment. So this track is a beautiful sad song. I haven't been much of a Nicki fan. I think she is kind of an odd one, but her vocals are impeccable and cannot be denied. My friend is in a dance group and performed to this song, which was the first time I heard it. I liked it [...]

Chris Brown ft. Keri Hilson - Superhuman "I see through the me I used to be" To be a true fan of music, you have to look at it purely through the musical talent, and not the personal lives of the artists and how it got them to where they are. I do know Chris Brown has a lot of negative press and may be somewhat of a troubled individual, but he is still a musical talent. This is such a wonderful piece of art with him and Keri Hilson . God she [...]
