What's new, who's new, talents you might just be missing out on, fresh tunes, music tips and facts, concerts, videos, and more!
WOW. This is by far my favorite EP of the summer! The Green is a super dynamic hawaiien-reggae group and they just released their new EP, Love and Affection, this week. It's soooo amazing I bought the whole thing on iTunes. It's like Bob Marley meets Honolulu and then some!! Definately worth checking out!!! It's the perfect music to take to the beach with you! :D
Ed Sheeran was probably the best performance by a new artist, even better than some of the well known artists, on the iTunes festival. The most surprising thing was to see him rock the stage alone with his one mand band. He's totally amazing. This song, I think is my favorite of his, and hereby song of the week!
You give me life
Like lots of oxygen
You treat me like
I was in love again
And I hold you tight
Tight enough to know
That you are mine
I'd never let you go
And it's you I miss
And it's you I miss
So let it out
Let it out, now
I let it out
I let it out now, now
You speak me to me
Behind your Dublin step
And you let me be
As if I wasn't there
It seemed perfect, the concept, free from any regret
Another couple based on teen sex
You idiot, true I was just like you
We couldn't be torn apart
You see we were just like glue
It's you I miss
And it's you I miss
So let it out
Let it out, now
I let it out
I let it out, now, now.
It seemed perfect, the concept, free from any regret
Another couple based on teen sex
You idiot, true I was just like you
We couldn't be torn part
You see we were just like glue
We're like glue
So let it out
Let it out, now
Let it out
Let it out, now, now
It seemed perfect, the concept, free from any regret
Another couple based on teen sex
You idiot, true I was just like you
We couldn't be torn apart
You see we were just like glue
Blink 182 released it's first new single "Up all night" since almost 10 years ago this month. It's an awesome comeback for blink! I was so excited when I found out, I had to share it with everyone! :) Really looking forward to hearing more from them soon!
I love it when artists that we normally hear in english decide to sing in french. Mika's new single " Elle me dit " is kicking it right now in France. It's #6 on iTunes.
Here it is with lyrics, have fun singing along!
Elle me dit "écris une chanson contente,
pas une chanson déprimante,
une chanson que tout le monde aime".
Elle me dit "tu deviendras milliardaire.
T'auras de quoi être fier.
Ne finis pas comme ton père".
Elle me dit "ne t'enferme pas dans ta chambre,
vas-y, secoue-toi et danse
dis moi c'est quoi ton problème?"
Elle me dit "qu'est ce que t'as t'as l'air coincé,
t'es défoncé ou t'es gai
Tu finiras comme ton frère"
CHORUS:
Elle me dit,
Elle me dit "c'est ta vie
fais ce que tu veux tant pis
un jour tu comprendras
un jour tu t'en voudras"
Elle me dit "t'es trop nul,
sors un peu de ta bulle.
Tu fais n'importe quoi
on dirait que t'aimes ca."
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Danse danse danse danse elle me dit danse". x2
Elle me dit "fais comme les autres garcons,
va taper dans un ballon,
tu deviendras populaire".
Elle me dit, "qu'est-ce que tu fous sur internet,
ca va pas bien dans ta tête.
Regarde le temps que tu perds."
Elle me dit "pourquoi tu te plains tout le temps?
On dirait que t'as huit ans.
C'est pas comme ca que tu vas plaire"
Elle me dit "un jour je ne serai plus là
et c'est quand elle me dit ça
qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime.
Chorus
Elle me dit, "t'as pas encore des cheveux blancs,
mais t'auras bientôt 30 ans,
faudrait que tu te réveilles".
Elle me dit "tu es toujours un enfant,
tu ne seras jamais grand.
Et moi je suis déjà vieille"
Elle me dit "regarde un peu tes amis,
qu'est-ce qu'ils vont faire de leur vie,
y' a de quoi se foutre en l'air".
Elle me dit, "oui un jour tu me tueras"
et c'est quand elle me dit ca
qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime.
Parachute is probably my new obsession. I can't stop listening to their music. And the song of the week that I think the whole world should take a listen to is Kiss Me Slowly, co-written with Lady Antebellum.
The official music video and lyrics are below:
Stay with me, baby stay with me
Tonight, don't leave me alone
Walk with me
Come and walk with me
To the edge of all we've ever known
I can see you there with the city lights
Forteenth floor pale blue eyes
I can breathe you in
Two shadows standing by the bedroom door
You know I could not want you more
Then I did right then
As our heads leaned in
well I'm not sure what this going to be
But with my eyes clentched all I see
Is the sky line through the window
The moon above you and the streets below
Hold my breath as you're moving in
Taste your lips and feel your skin
When the time comes
Baby don’t run, just kiss me slowly
Stay with me, baby stay with me
Tonight, don't leave me alone (me alone)
She shows everything she used to know
Picture frame and country roads
When days were long, and the world was small
She stood by has it fell apart
Seperate rooms and broken hearts
But I won't be the one to let you go
Ohhhh
I'm not sure what this going to be
But with my eyes clentched all I see
Is the sky line through the window
The moon above you and the streets below
Hold my breath as you're moving in
Taste your lips and feel your skin
When the time comes
Baby don’t run, just kiss me slowly
Don't run away....
And it's hard to love again
When the only way it's been
When the only love you knew
Just walked away.
It gets something that you want
Darling you don't have to run
You don't have to go
Just Stay with me, baby stay with me
Well I'm not sure what this is going to be
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the sky line through the window
The moon above you and the streets below
Hold my breath as you're moving in
Taste your lips and feel your skin
When the time comes
Baby don’t run just kiss me slowly
I'm not sure where this is going to go
But in this moment all I know
Is the sky line through the window
The moon above you and the streets below
Hold my breath as you're moving in
Taste your lips and feel your skin
When the time comes baby
Don’t run just kiss me slowly
No os deberíais dejar llevar por el título. Es una canción muy graciosa.Y es que a veces es mejor escuchar canciones que tengan letras que nos hacen sonreir. :)
A Spanish song for the summer? Try listening to Muerte en Hawaii by Calle 13
It's probably better if you know Spanish if you wanna enjoy the song. You shouldn't let the name of the song fool you either. The lyrics are really fun.
The Summer Set recently released Everything's Fine this July. And if I had to name the best album of the summer so far, it would be this one for sure. I don't think I need to say much more than that it made my week when it came out! You've gotta listen to these guys!
Here's my favorite song off the album: Someone Like You
So I did this video a loooooooong time ago, but stumbled upon it today, and I really like it, so I thought I'd share it with you. Falling in Love is one of my all time favorite songs and the best Mcfly song definately.
I hope you like this version I did on the piano.
There are days when you need something to pump you up like a jump start cable... and the coffee just doesn't cut it. So I put together a list of the most motivating songs I could find to help kick your life up a notch, whether it's to help you run a marathon or just get through your day.
By the time you listen to the whole list, you'll probably feel like your life is a movie and you're the hero! It was pretty tempting to add Rocky's "Eye of the Tiger" to this list, but I figured everyone already knows that one. :)
9. Never Say Never - Justin Bieber ft. Jaden Smith (somebody probably wants to kick my butt for putting a JB song on this list, but the truth is the words to this song are really motivating, can't lie.)
Hard core.. Demi Lovato is back!! And stronger than ever. With the Camp Rock 2 tour and rehab, Demi had been MIA for a while now, but her new single "Skyscraper" has definitely made up for it. Skyscraper hit iTunes last night at 12:00 midnight and was already #7 within a matter of hours.
Demi tweeted yesterday, "This isn't just a single or a song to me.. This represents the strength of an incredibly difficult journey I've been on that will hopefully provide the faith and inspiration to others going through the hardest issues of their own."
I think there's so much in store for this girl in the future, especially with talk of her recording tracks with Timbaland. But really the thing that makes Demi stand out is her strength and perseverance through all the hard things she's gone through recently. Her fans definitely recognize that.
Two big albums were released this week on iTunes: We the Kings "Sunshine State of Mind" and Lloyd "King of Hearts". And there's some cool stuff coming soon. 3 Doors Down album comes out July 19 and Gavin Degraw in September! Can't wait!
Anyway, I finally got the chance to listen through the songs. My favorite tracks? The Secret to New York from We the Kings and You II from Lloyd.
Coldplay, one of the most epic bands of all time, definately on my top 3 list as well. I think you'll find I'll be blogging about them quite often. They played in Bilbao, Spain last thursday, and will be playing the iTunes festival London 2011 on July 22 at 10:30 (make sure u watch em!) and there's been so much talk of Coldplay that I haven't been able to get this song out of my head.
So, weekdays can get pretty stressful. Especially if you need to work during the summer while everyone is at the beach just lying lazily, and there's the sun constantly reminding you. Days like this I just have to switch on my ipod to James Morrison and take a breather.
Wow. What can I say? I was really blown away by this song the first time I heard it. British band Castelle from Southampton recently posted the official video for their awesome single "Mayday". All I could say is if you feel like jumping or running around going crazy, now that it's summer and all, this song definately pumps up the atmosphere. see for yourself!
