Now Listening to... 🎧

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

Awesome rock cover of Christina Perri's “A Thousand Years”. This cover is so good, if you haven't heard the original version, you could pass off this one as the original song.

By the way, this is the third cover of the original that I shared on this blog. There's also this one from Boyce Avenue and this one from The Piano Guys.

Wonderful cover of Ed Sheeran's “Eyes Closed”. I never really listened to this song before. What a beautiful but sad song...

I pictured this month a little bit different, no one is ever ready And when it unfolds, you get in a hole, oh, how can it be this heavy? Everything changes, nothing's the same, except the truth is now you're gone And life just goes on

So I'm dancin' with my eyes closed 'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you And time is movin' so slow And I don't know what else that I can do So I'll keep dancin' with my eyes closed ♪ ♫ ♪

#BoyceAvenue

Beautiful song from Hoppipolla. Cannot seem to find any info on this band in Spotify, but this song sounds like something from The Rose, so there's that. Below is an English translation of the chorus:

So open up your eyes and see Countless pains Even if we cover our eyes Wait a minute So open up your eyes and see Don’t be afraid to walk alone Just a moment It’s okay to flow Like we never fall apart ♪ ♫ ♪

For some reason this song hit me hard today. Beautiful live rendition from Hillsong UNITED and Matt Crocker. Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Grace what have You done Murdered for me on that cross Accused in absence of wrong My sin washed away in Your blood

Too much to make sense of it all I know that Your love breaks my fall The scandal of grace You died in my place So my soul will live

Oh to be like You Give all I have just to know You Jesus there’s no-one beside You Forever the hope in my heart ♪ ♫ ♪

What a great find... another really good song from Citizen Soldier. To anyone who's going through a rough patch in life, don't give up, this song is for you!

You see that glass half empty Each time you look in the mirror It's like the more you're trying Your flaws start showing up clearer

You bleed emotion so devoted to what people say So sick of hoping so you focus on all your mistakes Stop changing, there's nothing to fix when life's a war for you That's when your pulse becomes the proof

When you're a little messed up When you're a little unwell And nobody understands That you are going through hell Right here like this right now You are enough When you've been broken and bruised Because the past has been tough Being human is What makes you something worthy of love Right here this sick right now You are enough So don't give up ♪ ♫ ♪

#CitizenSoldier

Don't listen much to country music, but this one came as a recommended track via the algorithm. It's a really good song!

I hope you hit those gold streets on two wheels I hope your mansion in the sky's got a ten-acre field With some mud and some hubs you can lock in Make some thunder, make 'em wonder how ya got in Hide your beer, hide your clear from the Man Upstairs Crank it loud, hold it down till I get there And when I do, I hope you got some new stories to tell Till then give heaven some hell ♪ ♫ ♪

Learned a new word from this song: petrichor — that scent that comes when it rains after a long drought. Overall, great new song from Neck Deep!

Maybe someday I might feel the way I felt before On a Monday I am the rain, and you are the petrichor Oh, don't be so solipsistic, you're not the only one Baby, I hope what once was, is not lost

You know, it won't be like this It won't be like this forever Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in You know, it won't be like this It can't be like this forever Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in, yeah ♪ ♫ ♪

#NeckDeep

Beautiful song from Thousand Foot Krutch and great collaboration with Art of Dying.

I know they say that the space between Can make it stronger then we've ever seen They might be right, but I disagree 'Cause I've never felt stronger than when You're with me

Sometimes I wonder why You even care 'Cause even when I leave You're always there with me And like a candle makes a brighter place This mark You've made on me can't be erased

I wanna be so far gone in You So far nothing else will ever do I wanna be so far gone in You In You

I've stood alone and I've fallen down Your hands were there to pick me off the ground Sometimes I cry 'cause I can't believe Your love is big enough to cover me

Sometimes I've wondered if You're even there But when I feel far away You meet me there And like a candle makes a brighter place This mark You've made on me can't be erased

I wanna be so far gone in You So far nothing else will ever do I wanna be so far gone in You In You I wanna be so far gone in You So far nothing else will ever do I wanna be so far gone in You In You I wanna be lost

I wanna be lost in You Like a ship in the night I wanna get lost in You Underneath Your sky I wanna be lost in You Like a ship in the night So far gone tonight

I wanna be so far gone in You (Tonight) So far nothing else will ever do (Tonight) I wanna be so far gone in You In You ♪ ♫ ♪

Did not know that Mark Tremonti (of Creed and Alter Bridge fame) had his own band. This is a pretty good find!

You were the first and last Now everything is wrong You are the air I breathe Now all I need is gone You were the heart that beats within my dying core You made me thirst for life, you left me wanting more ♪ ♫ ♪

#Tremonti

Got a bad headache today and wanted to listen to something soothing. This is just what the doctor ordered. A great soothing love song from Feel Day and Issa Rodriguez.

The song is about a couple who broke up but can't still move on. Even when they know it is bad for them, all they want is just a glimpse of their former beloved, even for just a moment.
