Just a little music fix part 3 04.08.2009

Hey guys, I know I haven’t been posting regularly, but that’ll start to change hopefully? Right now, I want to share some music with you:

First is probably the best funny song ever; it’s by LMFAO which is probably hard for dyslexics to remember. The song is called “YES” and it’s off their debut Party Rock

And now some actual music, haha. One band that I have a love hate relationship with is Coldplay, the reason being that I love their music, but they are so popular it’s almost ruined for me. But then I hear “Yellow,” and it all comes back to me. The lyric “For you, I’d bleed myself dry,” gives me chills. It’s from their debut Parachutes.

I try hard to include all my favorite bands so here is one of the best Modest Mouse songs they’ve ever recorded. It’s called “Custom Concern,” and I think what really gets me about it is the way he sings “This will never stop” at the end of the vocal part. The entire song is almost bone-crushingly sad, and yet so beautiful. It’s on the album This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About.

And to end it off is one of the best songs I think I have ever heard. Tracy Chapman is one of the most beautiful and sincere folkies that I love. I can both blame and thank my mom for instilling a fascinating love for her. This song, while long, is gorgeous. I hope someone will sing this to me one day. It’s called “The Promise,” and it’s off her best record (at least in my opinion) New Beginning.
