Songs that introduced me to my favorite artists
We hear music everywhere and we don't always make a big deal about it. But every so often there is a song that makes us stop and listen. A song that opens a gate to more songs when we decide we want to hear more from this band/ artist. So here are the stories of how I found my favorite artists and the first song I liked of theirs.
" for you and your denial"- Yellowcard
I bought an album called " another hopeless summer". The only reason I bought it is that it was only $2.99( I think). A vey good deal.With this album , I was introduced to many different artists ( which also includes another one of my favorites , We are the in crowd,).
I was attracted to the song above because of its fast pace , poetic lyrics and mostly the violin. At the time I had never heard violin outside of the classical genre until then. I really like it.
"Terrible things " - Mayday parade
This is a song a friend in my first hour senior year said I needed to listen to. I started listening to it and I thought "who is he singing this to? "I thought he was singing to a girl his age until he said "when I met your mother the girl of my dreams". I was like "what?" Haha! Anyway I found out later he was singing to his son. It's a sweet song but then it gets sad. It always makes me want to cry and that's the power of music.
" ignorance" - Paramore
This is a band that I've heard before this song came out but I didn't pay much attention to them. It's kind of sad. Anyway, I first heard this song on a Karaoke video game I have. I played this song quite often and it is a song that effected my change in singing style.
" you had me at hello " - a day to remember
I found this song on YouTube after listening to another song by the same title from a disney channel movie ( don't judge me).
At the time I was falling in love with the boy I am currently with so I related to It a little .Its a bit softer than the rest of the band's music but that's ok , I like both types they play.
I think that is enough story telling for now, I'll tell more about my music taste later. I encourage everyone to explore music and find their own style.
Rock on ,

Great day tunes
As you can tell from the title , I've had a great day. My style is on point, class was interesting and I got some good news. Of course my music preferences reflects that tonight. I also feel like a throwback Thursday by playing some of the songs I listened to in Elementary School/ Jr. high. Not the best music but it makes me reminisce about simpler days. Solo dance party over here.( the first isn't one I heard during childhood it's just a song that always makes me feel good).
Here are my song choices. Enjoy (:
"Just fine" by Mary J Blige
"oops I did it again" by Brittany Spears
"1,2 step" by Ciara ft. Missy Elliot
"Fergalicious" by Fergie
" Girlfriend " By Avril Lavigne
"Kryptonite " by 3 doors down
"Independent women" by Destiny's Child
" Get the party started" by P!nk
" every time we touch" by Cascada
" see you again" by Miley Cyrus
What are your throwback Thursday jams?

Song inpiration to get me through the day
If you've been following my other blog, you know that I'm very self conscious and I have my moments where I tear myself down.
Anyway, a few months ago my sister ( not a biological sister , I just call her that because she is a good friend of mine and my parents pretended to adopt her) recommended I make a cover of this song , "Weak" by Daphne Khoo. It's a really pretty song but as I listen to the lyrics they fit me so well. I just thought I'd share the lyrics with you. I also recommend you look it up and listen to it on you tube.
Weak
It’s hard to smile
at my reflection,
when I wake up, I wonder why
all I see, are the imperfections.
All the proof that i’m not alright.
Oh and I confess
that none of this makes sense,
A new struggle everyday, ohhh
But I know sometimes,
we gotta be lost to find,
to find our way
don’t be afraid
Even the strong cry,
when no one’s looking
we try not to be scared on the outside,
but I know that there’s strength from the fall,
it’s not weak, to be weak at all.
behind these eyes,
a world is hiding
where I feel safe, but so alone
all these scars, they keep me fighting
for a place I can call my own
Oh and I confess
that none of this makes sense,
A new struggle everyday, ohhh
But I know sometimes,
we gotta be lost to find,
to find our way
don’t be afraid
Even the strong cry,
when no one’s looking
we try not to be scared on the outside,
but I know that there’s strength from the fall,
it’s not weak, to be weak at all.
I hope that any one who may be struggling can hear this song and feel it's message. It's ok to cry and working through your weakness helps you find your strength. Never give up and I'll be praying for you.

That ginger has soul! an Ed Sheeran review
Hello ,
welcome to my new blog about music. Here I will review CDs , post playlists based on my mood and just talk about anything music. Today I will be sharing my thoughts on Ed Sheeran's recent CD, "X".( note: the songs with the *'s by them I don't have them on my computer but I'll come back to write their review later)
Track 1: One.
A soft sweet song with acoustic guitar and Ed singing in a high falsetto tone , very swoon worthy.
Track 2: I'm a mess
It's a bit more upbeat than the previous but the acoustic is still there which I really like.
Track 3:Sing
A catchy radio hit but a bit mainstream for my liking(haha I sound like a hipster). Talks about a fling at a party which is common for stereotypical pop song. I'll dance to it in my room but I won't find a way to relate to it.
Track4: Don't
A song that was written about Ellie Goulding and Niall Horan .It' the first song I heard from this album before I bought the CD. I like jamming out the this song but it doesn't have emotional value to me.
track 5: Nina *
Track 6 : Photograph
One of my absolute favorites. It's one of those songs that moves me to tears every time. It talks about the struggles of a long distance relationship. Makes me think about how it's going to be hard when I leave for university. The message I get is love isn't always easy but it's worth it. Favorite lines" Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul......and it's the only thing we take with us when we die".
Track 7: Blood stream*
Track 8: Tenerife sea
To me this song has a bit of a folk feel to it. I like the tambourine and drum in it. It's a cute love song
track 9:Run away*
Track 10: the man
I this is the first time I really heard Ed Sheeran rap and I though he was good. He's no Emminem but he has skills. Fave line is " Success is nothing if you have no one there left to share it with".
Track 11: Thinking out loud
Another one of my favorite songs on here and the music video is just as good. Who knew Ed could dance like that !? It's one of those songs that make you dream about happily ever after ( I'm not talking jumping on a horse with a prince and ridding off into the sunset towards the castle you'll be living in) . The really happily ever after where you love someone and grow old together. "cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen" favorite line. One of the few songs they play on the pop radio stations that I don't get tired of.
Track 12:afire love
This song is a bit sad but still a pretty song. The piano is a nice touch to it. I got excited when I heard the violin at the end because violin makes any song better.
track 13:take it back
I like the flow of this one. The guitar gives it a good beat. More rap but it's like poetry to me. The chorus is the only part sung and it seems soulful.
track 14: shirt sleeve
This song didn't really stick out to me. But I think the line "when salted tears run dry I'll wipe my shirt sleeve under your eyes" really shows his caring nature.
track 15: even my dad sometimes
the main instrument is piano and that is unique to this album. It feels like a lullaby to me ( Just the music, not really the lyric).
Track 16: I see fire
I like the accapella beginning and this is one of the few songs that aren't about love. It adds a little variety.
Track 17: All the stars
I think this song perfectly describes "the fault in our stars". I haven't even heard the sound track for TFIOS but I knew right away this song is on it. It's an easy going song and I like it.
Overall , I really like this album and Ed Sheeran. I like how his british accent comes through when he sings. There are songs show his rebellious side and others that show his sweet sensitive side. It proves you can't just label him. some of the songs are similar but they all have their own story . That's what I love about music.
Rock on.
