Songs of the Week

The reason I keep writing these things each week is because it's a surreal way for me to look back and judge how I've been progressing through life.  Music really does score my life and my moods.  That being said, fucking Metro Station does nothing to narrate my life.  They're just terribly catchy.  Metro Station and Bone Crusher?  I don't even.

Out of Time - A Day to Remember

Just know that it kills me when I hear anything to do with you.  You will see, oh, believe me.  I need to be right where you are.  And know that I'm leaving and you won't hear for a year from now.  And this kills me, 'cause now I think that everything's, everything's about you.  I thought this was what you wanted.  Someone who gets everything right.  I thought this was what you wanted.  Someone to put you first in their life.

Better Off This Way - A Day to Remember

You want it, you got it. You've always been such a waste of time. You want it, you got it. A friend of yours is no friend of mine. You want it, you got it. When will you act your age? You want it, you got it. You're the reason things have to change.

Peace Out - Say Anything

I'll be fine, sever this for all time.  I'll laugh it off when this ends.  You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends, get high with all of your dumb friends.  You were my crutch, now I've escaped your clutch.  So, how is that worm's eye view?  I have grown two broad wings and now I'm above you.

What a long, strange journey this has blah blah blah.  I have LOVED doing this project, probably my favorite one I have ever done since starting this blog in July.  So much amazing music has been re-sparked for me, I have listened to so much music the past month, it truly has been a God-send.  Here's the best of the best

Song of the Day

Song(s) of the Day

Song(s) of the Day

     It's TRIPLE THURSDAY!  So what do we get on Triple Thursday?  Well...FOUR songs of the day.  Ignoring the fact that none of that makes sense, we'll just appreciate the fact that I've never had 4 songs in one day be honored as songs of the day and here they are.  Even though I despise waking up in the cold to go to class early, I do love all the music I get to listen to during the commute.  If I had to choose the songiest song of the day, I'd say it was Anywhere Else But Here by Simple Plan.  The supporting players today are I Swear This Time I Mean It by Mayday Parade, Better than Sex by Halifax, & Nice Guys Finish Last by Green Day.  I have to say, I LOVE my Klipsch over-the-ears headphones I received for Christmas, definitely enhances my music listening time.  I adore music & all these amazing lyrics for having the ability to distract me from the bitter Chicago winter atmosphere while walking around with wet hair, a light hoody, a t-shirt & jeans.

Song of the Day

     This song brings me back to high school and such.  Always loved Better Than Sex by Halifax and I haven't listened to it in a long time.  Luckily, this song was reignited in my mind today by chance and it defeated quite a few other songs for today's song of the day.  It's such a catchy song, the chorus is undeniable for me.
