So the other day I was chillin and surfin the internet when I came across this song by Taylor Swift. I thought to myself wow is it possible that I could actually like a T Swift song? This song is lyrically amazing and it had me in tears. It is about someone that she knew that lost the battle to cancer and I can fully relate. My mom died when I was four to breast cancer, so this song means a lot to me mostly because most of these things I remember about my mom. Here are the lyrics and the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn1MIur2gJ8
I remember your bare feet down the hallway 
I remember your little laugh 
Race cars on the kitchen floor 
Plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back 

I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own secret club 
I remember you dancing before bed time then jumping on me waking me up 
I can still feel you hold my hand 
Little man, from even that moment I knew 
You fought it hard like an army guy 
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you  

Come on baby with me 
We're gonna fly away from here 
You were my best four years 

I remember the drive home when the blind hope 
Turned to crying and screaming, "Why?" 
Flowers piled up in the worst way 
No one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died 

And it's about to be Halloween 
You could be anything you wanted if you were still here 
I remember the last day when I kissed your face 
I whispered in your ear 

Come on baby with me 
We're gonna fly away from here 
Out of this curtained room in this hospital gray
We'll just disappear 
Come on baby with me 
We're gonna fly away from here 
You were my best four years 

What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you? 
What if I kept the hand me downs you won't grow into? 
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through? 
But what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you 

Come on baby with me 
We're gonna fly away from here 
Come on baby with me 
We're gonna fly away from here 
You were my best four years 

I remember your bare feet down the hallway 
I love you to the moon and back

Paint it Black

Pretty much the only time when I like the stones is when they are singing this song. No hate or anything, it is just the only song that I like of their's. It is super catchy and every time my dad plays it in the car we jam out like there is no tomorrow. Also, in a weird way, I love Mick Jagger's voice in this song. Anyways, best song ever written by them and every time I hear it, it makes me think of when me and my siblings used to play Guitar Hero to this song.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Egt1Hq4wpE

Pet Sounds

THIS ALBUM IS TRUELY AMAZING! I have never heard a more inspirational, beautiful, life-changing album in my life. The lyrics are absolutely beautiful and their voices harmonize perfectly together. My favorite song in this album is "God Only Knows" because the voices are beautiful and it is a relatabe song because most everybody has that one person in their life whom they don't know  what they would do without. The other favorite song of mine from this album is "Wouldn't it be Nice" because it is such happy song and it is surfer sounding which I looooveee. Also I think the lyrics:
The happy times together
we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was
never ending
Oh wouldn't it be nice
is beautiful and overall it is just a great song that people just want to dance and sing along to.

This Weeks Discovery

So the first discovery of mine was at ACL. We were in the front row waiting for the Lumineers (the one hit wonder band) to play. There was a band called Bad Books scheduled right before on that stage so we said eh what the hell we got nothing else to see so we can chill here and watch these guys. So they started to play and I was like holy crap I think I just found my new obsession. They are a rock band which is my ultimate favorite kind of music that's a plus. The best way to describe this band is the voice of the guy from Band of Horses mixed with the sound of the Foo Fighters or Pearl Jam. It has Kevin Devine from Kevin Devine, and the Goddamn Band and also the guy from Manchester Orchestra, so the band is a side project. The singers voice is definitely what drew me to this band the most. This is my favorite song by them:

ACL- Friday

Today ACL was AMAZING. When i got there, I went to go see Weezer and it was probably the best show I have ever seen at ACL because I knew every single song and it was so much fun jamming out with my little sis. Then, I saw florence + the machine and they were good depending on your musical preferance. I personally don't like her so it wasn't all that great but I had to go because my sister wanted to. Then, I saw the Black Lips and they were great and high energy. The last show I saw was the Black Keys and they dissapointed me. I thought they were going to play their best songs, but they played boring, slow songs that you couldn't even dance to. They did however play Everlasting Light and that pretty much the only good part (that I saw at least). I only saw 4 bands and your probably thinking to yourself what the heck why so little? Well, I did that rock and recycle program where they give you this HUGE bag and if you fill it all the way with recycleables, you get a free ACL T-Shirt. So let me tell you my experiance with that crap. So I walked in the entrace and I saw the bags so I was like what the hell why not, right? Turns out it was not worth all that effort at all. I was being thrown cans at, digging through trashes, and having to carry that heavy ass bag around all day and I took a shower and still stink of a combination of beer, weed, and dumpster. 3 times I came back to the stand to give in my bag to get my free shirt and they kept telling me it wasn't full enough allthough it was like seriously 45 pounds. So I learned my lesson never to do that again, but I did get the shirt so it paid off a little. But as far as bands go, Weezer was the bomb diggity and they honestly should have been the main band for Friday.

Bob Dylan

    I don't care what anybody says, Bob Dylan is the bomb.com. I love everything about his music. His voice is so cool and different, and it is sort of soothing in some awkward way. He is a lyrical freaking genius, for example "The Times They Are a Changin" like seriously who can come up with more of a genius song that has a deeper meaning than that one? I did a anti-racism video using that song for a world history project last year because it was basically the Civil Rights anthem. It was a pretty great video (not gonna lie) here it is if you want to watch it:

    Normally, I am a melody type of person and I don't even pay attention to lyrics, but Bob Dylan just takes it to a whole new level and makes me actually listen to what he is saying because usually he is telling some sort of story or getting some message across. The last thing I love about him is his care-free personality. He is a lot like me in that way and he doesn't give a rats ass about what people think of him or his music. As long as he likes it, he is happy and that is what it all comes down to in the end.

Hungarian Rhapsody

A couple weeks ago I went to go see The Queen Movie Hungarian Rhapsody. It was only in theaters for one day so if you are a Queen fan and you didn't get to see it, you missed out big time. So basically, the beginning of the movie was about 5 minutes of just interviewing the band members and let me tell you, Freddy was hilarious! After the interviewing, the movie started and it was all the footage of the whole entire concert for when they went to Hungary. It was just like being at a Queen concert because you could sing along and jam out hardcore. IT WAS AMAZING! My only beef about it was that they didn't sing the more mainstream Queen songs like "Killer Queen" "Fat Bottom Girls" or "Don't stop me now", you know, the ones everybody loves. It was kind of a bummer but they did play some really great songs too. Freddy also did this really cool thing were he made a song and translated it into Hungarian for the Hungarians. They obviously went crazy over it. Freddy is such a genius. Well that is what the movie was like and if you didn't see it, well then that just kind of sucks.

"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"

I love this song From the Beatles album "Help" because it is so catchy which is the ultimate thing I look for in a song. Also I love the Bob Dylan feel to it. I think John Lennon rocks the Bob Dylan voice/sound better than Bob Dylan himself, but that's just my opinion. I like how there is no drum in this song just the tambourine and the guitar which is nice because it gives off a more relaxing vibe.
