Songs of the Week

A very diverse set of songs for this week with a few old favorite sneaking in as well.  I had a very eventful week so a lot of music got listened to so I could try to put things in perspective.

Songs Tally

32nd tally for All Time Low, 3rd tally for Forget About It

Forget About It - All Time Low

You know, there are some days where I feel like this could work, like, you and I are finally gonna get it right.  Then there are days like today, when you make me wanna tear my fucking hair out.

33rd tally for All Time Low, 2nd tally for Break Your Little Heart

Break Your Little Heart - All Time Low

A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize.

3rd tally for Matchbook Romance, 3rd tally for Playing For Keeps

Playing For Keeps - Matchbook Romance

You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked.

37th tally for A Day to Remember, 3rd tally for Another Song About the Weekend

Another Song About the Weekend - A Day to Remember

Nobody can give so much and never get anything.  Everyone I used to know says they don't know what I've become, but I'm still the same, not much has changed, I still know where I came from.

5th tally for Senses Fail, 1st tally for Choke on This

Choke on This - Senses Fail

Can't make a wife out of a whore, don't want your skin on me.

6th tally for Senses Fail, 1st tally for Let It Enfold You

Let It Enfold You - Senses Fail

I'm just a bad actor stuck with a shitty script.  All of my lines are cheap and the cast is weak.

10th tally for The Lonely Island, 2nd tally for The Creep

The Creep - The Lonely Island

I was six years old when I starting creeping.  My parents took it to their room and I starting peeping.  You can't imagine their surprise when they lifted their heads and saw my little ass creeping at the foot of the bed.

3rd tally for Jimmy Eat World, 1st tally for Hear You Me

Hear You Me - Jimmy Eat World

There's no one in town I know, you gave us some place to go.  I never said thank you for that.  I thought I might get one more chance.

16th tally for Simple Plan, 2nd tally for Can't Keep My Hands Off You

Can't Keep My Hands Off You - Simple Plan

Sorry to all my friends and to anyone I offend.  But I can't help it, no, I can't help it.

Top 40 Albums (40-31)

Haven't done one of these posts where I document my favorite things in a while, so let's go with my top albums.  We live in the era of the iPod where albums aren't as significant, as a whole, simply because we all can just pick and choose what songs we want to listen to.  That being said, when I was growing up, I had a ton of albums and would listen to them in their entirety quite often.  For a while, I even hung all the album covers I owned on the walls of my room.  I have since been converted to the world of digital music and rarely, if ever, buy albums physically anymore, but it's still cool to see which songs have been gathered together for one album.  I look at a great album almost like an all-star team in sports, a group composed of spectacular players, or in this case, amazing songs all on one album.

As always, there's honorable mentions for these type of lists that I do.  One-X by Three Days Grace, Hypnotize by System of a Down, Cheshire Cat by Blink-182, Dirty Work by All Time Low, and Chuck by Sum 41 didn't quite make the cut.

I should probably bang these posts out over the course of the upcoming week, I imagine.  Keep an eye out for the rest and here's an introduction to the most noteworthy and lasting albums I've listened to in my life.

Song of the Day

Probably my favorite Senses Fail song.

Song of the Day Tally

4th tally for Senses Fail, 2nd tally for Calling All Cars

Calling All Cars - Senses Fail

I'm sorry, but I think I failed to mention that I lied at my very first confession.  What did you expect from me?

Song of the Day

Most songs I listen to, I relate personally to.  A good set of song lyrics can make me become infatuated with a track.  Calling All Cars is probably the only song I listen to on a regular basis that I have no personal connection to the lyrics.  They're 100% the opposite of me, which oddly, makes me feel like this song is being sung AT ME, rather than for me.

Song of the Day Tally

3rd tally for Senses Fail, 1st tally for Calling All Cars

Calling All Cars - Senses Fail

This has been building since I have been breathing and I know how it's going to end.

Song of the Day

I listened to Senses Fail so damn much during my first 2 years of high school, especially Let It Enfold You.  Buried a Lie was one of my favorites.

Song of the Day Tally

2nd tally for Senses Fail, 1st tally for Buried a Lie

Buried a Lie - Senses Fail

I'll catch the murderer and send him away.  I'll get the evidence from your last day.

Song of the Day

This song brings me back to early high school, that's for sure.  Still love it.

Song of the Day Tally

1st tally for Senses Fail, 1st tally for NJ Falls Into the Atlantic


NJ Falls Into the Atlantic - Senses Fail

It's plain to see the wind beneath the trees.  Flowing free, the summer breeze is sweet, but play in this place.  I'm choked by my own air.  I love the taste of your blackened lips.
