3 Doors Down Concert

So, I just got back from the 3 Doors Down and Daughtry concert! It was soooo amazing!! Well at least 3 Doors Down was. Daughtry...well let's be honest, Daughtry SUCKED! Daughtry's voice was so out of tune and it was just bad. But 3 Doors Down was so great. The singer was amazing and nailed most of every song they sang. They sang, When I'm Gone, Loser, Citizen/Soldier, Here Without You, Away From the Sun, Time of my Life, Better Life, Kryptonite, Days in the Life, Road That I'm On, It's Not My Time, and 3 songs that are coming up on their next album. They also sang a cover of Symphony of Destruction by Megadeath which was pretty awesome! The music was awesome, the crowd was happy and into the music. All around it was an amazing concert. I already wish I could go back!

Maroon 5

I think Maroon 5 is okay. My sister was just talking about them and told me that I should blog about them, so here I am. I like a few of Maroon 5's songs like She Will Be Loved, and Misery is pretty good too, and Payphone is alright, it's kind of over rated and over played as well. But my favorite song of Maroon 5 is She Will Be Loved, everything about it makes it a good song. I think the lyrics are really good, the instrumentals are really good and it's a song I LOVE to song along to, even if I'm not too great of a singer. My favorite part of the song is when he says:

"Tap on my window knock on my door

I want to make you feel beautiful

I know I tend to get so insecure

It doesn't matter anymore"

I think that line is sooooo cute! I want to have a relationship where my boyfriend would do that. I recommend giving this song a listen if you've never heard it before!

White Album

The Beatles White Album was great! It was kind of long but still it had some really good songs like Blackbird, I Will, and Don't Pass Me By, those were my favorite. Some that I thought could just be left off the album entirely were, Wild Honey Pie, Revolution 9, and Why Don't We Do It In The Road. I thought those were just stupid. George Harrison is actually writer. I think Ringo wrote Don't Pass Me By which I thought was amazing. So, the Beatles have succeded to amaze me once again. I don't think it's possible not to love the Beatles, they're so amazing in every way possible. They're so good at the instruments they play, as well as other instruments and their song writing is legendary. That's why I think they're the best band to ever walk the face of this earth.

So, Taylor Swift, I kind of like her, but again I kind of don't. Some of her songs I love, then others, not so much. A few songs I really like are, Mean, Mine, Speak Now, and Sparks Fly. One song I really don't like, and that I find extremely annoying is, We Are Never Getting Back Together, I think that's what it's called. I hate it, all she does is repeat herself over and over again in a really high pitched annoying voice. But for example I really like Mean, because of the lyrics. It's basically about her being bullied and how she copes with it, because all that person is, is mean, and the person has no control over your emotions. I think the song is really good and hopefully speaks to all the people being bullied, her song has a really good message and is pretty catchy too. Some of the lyrics of Mean are:

"You, pickin' on the weaker man

Well, you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean"

I think this song is really good and is very meaningful and I think is pretty powerful too.

Another really awesome band is, Pentatonix, which is an acapella group. There's only five people in the band, there's four guys and one girl. Pentatonix won the Sing Off which was an acapella competition, so yeah they're pretty good. My favorite song I've heard them sing is Your Love Is My Drug. I just love it! They're voices are amazing and they're perfectly in sync and they do really good harmonies and it really sounds like there are instrumentals, but of course, there's not. And it's really fun to sing with, which is something I really enjoy! I'm pretty sure they sing mostly covers but I think they have a few originals on Itunes. You definitely should check them out, they're really really good.

One band my brother used to blast in his stereo constatly is Lamb Of God, at first I hated them with a passion becuase I didn't like the screaming. But I started to like screamo music a little more than I used to, so I tried and gave Lamb Of God a second chance. In doing so, I found a really amazing song, or what I find to be amazing, I have yet to find someone else who actually likes this song too. I'm honestly not sure at all why I like it so much. I think I like screamo because, like when I'm mad I can't just go around and scream at everything so I think being able to listen to screamo kind of takes out what I'm feeling, even though I usually can't understand a word they're saying. So, the amazing song... it's called Omerta by Lamb Of God. My favorite part is actually the beginning, which most people hate, but I like it. The beginning lyrics are:

"Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man
Is either a fool or a coward, whoever cannot take care of
Himself without that law is both, for a wounded man shall
Say to his assailant, "If I live I will kill you, if I die you are forgiven"
Such is the rule of honor"

And then after those lyrics it goes to an awesome guitar part. Sometimes it just gives me the chills it sounds so cool.  I recommend listening to this.... of course at your own will if you really hate screamo so much so that you can't listen to it then this isn't the song for you. But please give it a try :)

If I Take Your Heart

I'm sorry I wasn't able to go to that record store with the live music. I went out of town first thing after school today :( I really wish I could have gone but here's a good song!


So, there's this super cute song called Take My Heart by Soko, and my sister's boyfriend sent it to her for Valentine's Day and it was soooooooooo cute! It's about a couple who are in LOVE and they're giving eachother their hearts. Some of the really cute lyrics are:

"You can take my heart for a walk on the beach
You can take my heart for a little trip
You can take my heart very close to your heart
You can take my heart forever if you like"

Isn't that just adorable?! I wish I had something like that. But yeah the lyrics are adorable by the vocals and instrumentals kind of, well, suck. But it's sooo cute!

Magical Mystery Tour

Magical Mysterty Tour, an album by the Beatles, I thought was really good and very psychedelic. I really like the song I Am The Walrus! It's so weird and I have no idea what it's about but it sounds awesome, and John Lennons voice is so amazing. I also of course love All You Need Is Love and also Hello Goodbye. The Beatles definitely still have my full attention. Their music has change so much and the lyrics are so weird and are complete non-sense. But I still love it!


And Jimi Hendrix, I decided I don't really like it that much. The album was so long and I got tired of it after a while of listening to it, and I don't think I will want to listen to anymore of it. But I won't completely object to trying again.

So a while ago my sister and my brother were obssesed with the band Avenged Sevenfold. Since they played their songs so often I grew to like them...a lot, even more than them. Most people don't like the singer's voice, but I don't really mind it. The think I like the most about their music is the lyrics. They sing exactly how I feel and what I'm thinking. One of my favorite songs is Lost, because of the lyrics. Some of the lyrics are:

"We've all been lost for most of this life

(Lost for most of this life)

Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us

And I know that most of us just ain't right

(Most of us just ain't right)

Following the wrong steps, being led by pride"

I mean isn't that just true. Most of us just aren't right. And everywhere we turn people judge us, judged everything we do, and sometimes even hate us for it. And we're all basically lost in the world trying to find our place in it. I find the lyrics in this song to be really deep and meaningful and that's why I like it.

One of my favorite songs ever is Nothing To Lose by Billy Talent. It's kind of a depressing song but I still like it. It's about a 17 year old who doesn't really have any friends and is bullied, and he figures he has nothing to lose, and nothing to gain, so he commits suicide. Some of the lyrics are:

"Kids just love to tease
Who'd know it put me underground at seventeen

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change"

I really recommend listening to this song, it's so good, but really sad. Bullying is just wrong and this is what could happen :(

One band I really really like is The Band Perry. I'm sure you've probaby heard of the song If I Die Young, and I'm sure you're probably like ew I don't really like that.. But! (I don't really like it either), but it's the other songs are much much much better in my opinion. One of my favorites is Independence. My favorite line of the song is:
"This is as close as I've ever been to leaving
Five blocks away, a stone's throw from home
But I'm as good as gone"
I really like it because it's like it doesn't matter how far away you are it's one step closer to where you want to be, and just because you're not far doesn't mean you're not independent! I like to think this will be me when I go out to college. But yeah, if you like country music then hopefully you'll like The Band Perry.

Rascal Flatts. I really like the Rascal Flatts, I think it's fun to sing along with. I don't think they're the best band ever, but I enjoy listening to them on the occasion. I like, Here Comes Goodbye, Close, What Hurts The Most and Summer Nights. I like Summer Nights because it really gets me pumped up for the summer, I think it's funny and fun to sing along with and blast on the stereo in the car. I like the other songs because they're more about something real, like Here Comes Goodbye is about a bad breakup and What Hurts The Most, is so sad and depressing but I still really like them. And I like how they're kind of country but they're kind of pop too. They're a mixture, and I enjoy it.

I have fallen in love with Hunter Hayes! He's so super cute and his voice is that of an angel. His most popular song which is probably my favorite is Wanted. It's sooo cute. I wish a guy would say that to me. Some of the lyrics are "I want to wrap you up, Wanna kiss your lips, I wanna make you feel wanted" and then it goes on kind of like that! It's soo cute, and his voice is amazing and I love country and it's a nice country sound. And I just love it. You should definatley look it up! I also like If You Told Me To. Those are my two favorite songs of his. I can't wait until he comes out with more albums and things! He's really good.

Jimi Hendrix. I really like Jimi Hendrix, he's pretty good, from what all I've heard from him. It's kind of amazing how someone just signed him and took him to London then figured out, oops. he can't sing or write lyrics. One would think they would've talked about that before-hand. But I guess it's a good think all of that happened for him to learn to sing and to write and all that stuff! But he is an amazing guitarist! I would really love to listen to more of his music, I'll have to look some up later to figure out what his sound is and see if I really like it!

So... Me and a couple of my friends are going to see a 3 Doors Down and Daughtry concert on November 23rd! I'm so excited. I'm mainly going to see 3 Doors Down, it's one of my all time favorite bands. The most recent album they've recorded is the Time Of My Life. Maybe they're touring and playing from this album? I'm not really sure. So I really need to start listening to this album just in case. The only song I really know on the album is Heaven. It's such and amzing song! It sounds so meaningful. Like he wrote the song from some event he experienced. I love the singers voice and how he sings, you can feel the lyrics, you can feel what he's meaning for you to feel, and I love the instruments. Everything about the song I just LOVE. I'm not a huge fan of Daughtry and I've seen them in concert before, but I don't mind going through Daughtry to see the amazing 3 Doors Down! I had to beg my mom for weeks for her to let me go, and to have her drive me and my friends to the Bell County Expo Center! I can't wait :)
