Follow along as I listen to music from genres such as rock, punk, emo, pop and everything in between...
Amazing rock song from Japan. Those bass lines, the guitar riffs and the vocals, damn this is a pretty good track! Fans of Naruto will recognize this song, but you don't need to have watched it to appreciate how good of a rock song this is.
Ending the work week with this super catchy pop rock from The Vamps and Demi Lovato.
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah Is somebody to you All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah Is somebody to you Everybody's trying to be a billionaire But every time I look at you I just don't care 'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah Is somebody to you (Yeah, you!) ♪ ♫ ♪
This song is now more than 20 years old, so in my opinion it qualifies as a #ThrowbackThursday track. This song has aged well. It still sounds great. But it does hit different now, knowing that the Chester (their vocalist) lost his battle to depression and anxiety. Makes you really appreciate the lyrics in this song, and all their other songs for that matter.
Why does it feel like night today? Something in here's not right today. Why am I so uptight today? Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first Or how the pressure was fed But I know just what it feels like To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside A face that awakes when I close my eyes A face that watches every time I lie A face that laughs every time I fall (And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim That the face inside is here in me Right underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin ... The sun goes down I feel the light betray me...
This is a pretty cool rock/metalcore cover of the original from Rascal Flatts!
Must be noted that this is the second rock cover of the original that I've shared on this site.
Beautiful song from Thousand Foot Krutch. Love the lyrics on this one. I only heard this song today. What a great find!
They say You're always there, You never leave Even when we don't believe And that sounds like love to me I know I couldn't do the same
And they said that You can see my heart Then You already know I'm falling apart That's why I hide here in the dark So no one has to see my pain
I've never prayed so can we just talk? Don't wanna put You on the spot, But can You bring the keys to my heart And help me find a way.
They make me feel so empty Their words they cut like knives You tell me to forgive them But I'm not sure I'll survive
I'm not sure this is a good time Or even if You're home It's a long long way from Your throne
But can You meet me in my room A place where I feel safe Don't have to run away And I can just be me Can You meet me in my room A place where I feel strong A place where I belong And I can call my own
Won't You meet me, meet me in my room Where there's no one else allowed but You I've been waiting for so long to meet You I'll be waiting... ♪ ♫ ♪
Back to the 70s with this wonderful #ThrowbackThursday song from Bread. Gotta say, those lyrics are pretty good too. Maybe this is what emo was in the 70s haha.
Lost and all alone I always thought that I could make it on my own Since you left, I hardly make it through the day My tears get in the way And I need you back to stay
I wander through the night And search the world to find the words to make it right All I want is just the way it used to be With you here close to me I've got to make you see
That I'm lost without your love Life without you isn't worth the trouble of I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel A touch without a feel I can't believe it's real
And someday soon, I'll wake And find my heart won't have to break ♪ ♫ ♪
Beautiful song from Colton Dixon. Listen to this as if your Dad/Mom or God was singing this to you and it will blow your mind.
Lights off, a shot in the dark We get lost when we’re playing a part We lay blame like we know what’s best It’s a shame…
We break when we fall too hard Lose faith when we’re torn apart Don’t say you’re too far gone It’s a shame It’s a shame
I’m still standing here No I didn’t disappear Now the lights are on See I was never gone I let go of your hand To help you understand With you all along Oh, I was never gone ♪ ♫ ♪
I've said in a previous post, the best thing about emo music are the lyrics. Next comes the tone and feel of the song. I'm just a sucker for songs like this one. This one might not be as popular as other songs from the 2000s, but this is a classic emo track for me. There is a rawness here that is missing from a lot of pop music.
So what's the point in all of this? When you will never change The days have pass, the weather's changed Should I be sorry? Could I be sorry?
I did it all, all for you Hoping you would see Your eyes are dull, your hands are clenched Are we ready? Are we ready?
But you You think about yourself Only but yourself But what about
Un-lonely nights Romantic moments The love, the love What about them? Throw it all away ♪ ♫ ♪
A beautiful sad song from Chester See.
I know it sounds crazy But I need you to trust me If it's how it must be Then I'll fade away
When it finally feels true Then do what you have to 'Cause I'll never blame you For not choosing me But I'm not over you
But If there is somebody that makes you feel happy Tends to your heart in the ways I'd been lacking Then who am I who am I to stand in your way That I feel is no longer your burden If there is someone that can make you feel perfect Then who am I who am I to stand in your way... To stand in your way... To stand in your way... I won't stand in your way... ♪ ♫ ♪
