Now Listening to... 🎧

Follow along as I listen to music from genres such as rock, punk, emo, pop and everything in between...

I actually never heard the original and thought this was an original track from Archetypes Collide. It's only when I searched for the lyrics that I learned that this was a Sam Smith song. Pretty amazing rock cover!

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry And every time you walk out, the less I love you Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad, but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes) I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes) ♪ ♫ ♪

#ArchetypesCollide

This song came out more than 20 years ago now, so I'll consider it a #ThrowbackThursday track. Back to 2002 with The Used!

So here I am, it's in my hands And I'll savor every moment of this So here I am, alive at last And I'll savor every moment of this ♪ ♫ ♪

#TheUsed

Another good one, but a sad track from Arthur Miguel. The title translates to “Wrong Season” or “Wrong Time”.

The chorus roughly translates to:

It is wrong to force myself to love you. It is wrong for us to be together. It's not the right time for us. It's the wrong thing to pray for. You're not the one for me.

Ouch...

Marianas Trench is back with a new song! This one sounds like something that would have come out of their Masterpiece Theater or Ever After album. It's a return to the sound and creativity that got me hooked on their music. Song preview won't do this song justice, you need to listen to the full track.

But what about all those voices in the night? Speaking all the things that keep me from a normal life But everything almost fits together right But in the end I don't belong inside a normal (Don't belong inside a normal) Ordinary life ♪ ♫ ♪

#MarianasTrench

Fates. An emo sounding track that came out in 2023? Love it.

I'm still avoiding the exit that goes to your old house Listening to Konstantine Like we did at seventeen But I know it's not helping me out

I wish I could let go & blame someone else I wish I could tell you that

I don't really wanna die But I don't wanna be alive Like I did when you were here I think I'm just scared to death That you'll always mess with my head Like you did when you were here ♪ ♫ ♪

#RealFriends

Surprisingly not one of their more popular songs. But in my opinion, this is one of the best song they've written. Love how it starts and ends. This is another one that needs to listened to, from start to finish.

There are eight billion people in this world Eight billion lives are changing Never felt so alone

Would you consider me in spite of this? I'm always the one who loses Would you make me better?

How? (How?) How? (How?) How will we make this work? Why (why) do you have to be so far?

It's all clear now I'm gonna keep you Like flowing water into forever

That look is all I need to get by Like living in some illusion I never felt so alive

I know that there will be flaws around us The silly wars that we'll be fighting Yes, I'll be fighting

How? (How?) How? (How?) How will we make this work? Why (why) do you have to be so far?

It's all clear now I'm gonna keep you Like flowing water into forever

It's all clear now I'm gonna keep you Like flowing water into forever Into forever Now I'll be the one who holds you, dear

There are eight billion people in this world Eight billion lives are changing And you're the one I need ♪ ♫ ♪

#Hale

I'm not country and don't usually listen to country music. But this song is too good to ignore. Love that catchy chorus and the lyrics (even if I can't relate).

I'm hallelujah hands high and friends in low places Red, white, and blue, and red-letter pages Back-row pew and front-seat Ford New King James and old King George I'm washed in the water and mud on the tires I'm Friday night lights and Sunday morning choir I'm prayers up to Heaven, roots down in Kentucky Made by God and country God and country ♪ ♫ ♪

#AnneWilson

Yes the title is long and weird, but the song is good!

They say that love is forever Your forever is all that I need Please stay as long as you need Can't promise that things won't be broken But I swear that I will never leave Please stay forever with me ♪ ♫ ♪

#SleepingWithSirens

This song came out more than 20 years ago now, so I consider it a #ThrowbackThursday track. It still sounds great today!

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard Handful of complaints, but I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe this is real

So I let go watching you, turn your back like you always do Face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got

I can't feel the way I did before Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored Time won't heal this damage anymore Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored ♪ ♫ ♪

#LinkinPark

Beautiful sentimental music from I Belong to the Zoo. This song starts slow and builds up to a wonderful finish. It's one of those songs you want to listen from start to finish.

The word “Sana” roughly translates to “Should have”. The gist of the chorus/song is something like:

You should have told me (you had someone else), so I wouldn't have expected us to end up together in the end. You should have told me (you had someone else), I would have let you go anyway, so you could be happy.
