I'm not really sure if I've talked about Papa Roach already or not, but if I have I'm going to do it again. I like Papa Roach, it's not one of my favorite bands, but I'll willingly listen to it. I really mostly like the lyrics of a few of their songs like, Do or Die, Last Resort, Lifeline, Not Listening, Scars, Sometimes, ...To Be Loved, and What Do You Do? I also like Hollywood Whore and I Almost Told You That I Loved You, but not because of the lyrics for those haha. I think my favorite might be Scars. Some of the lyrics are:
"I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut My weakness is that I care too much And my scars remind me that the past is real I tear my heart open just to feel"
I think that's really deep and meaningful. And I also think that those lines can really be interpreted different ways to different people, so it could mean something different to different people, which I think is pretty cool. What does it make you think of? How does it make you feel? Some of their songs make you ask those questions to yourself, they're kind of thought prevoking which I really like.
I think Led Zeppelin is pretty good, although I think they're lyrics kind of....well sucked. Their guitar, and instrumentals are really really good though. They have pretty amazing skills. Their songs are really quite long, and drawn out and a little boring. I think they need better lyrics, and shorter songs, with that plus their really good instrumentals would make for an amazing band!
I LOVE this song, a lot of people don't like this song as much as before because it was over played a ton on the radio, but I still really like it. I feel like maybe this song could be pretty legendary, I think it might stand the test of time, but I don't really know, I hope so. My favortie part is when Kimbra sings, I think her voice is just beautiful. I also like the dubstep remix of it. I have begun to really like dubstep so I was looking up some of my favorite songs in dubstep form, and I ran across this song and I was like OMG YES, and it was actually really good!
The documentary we're watching in class, it has something to do with Woodstock, I don't remember what it's called. I don't really like it that much it's kind of long and boring and tedious. Every song a band plays just goes on and on and on, and I end up daydreaming and not really paying attention. I thought the hippies were sort of funny though. Like the interviews, and the yoga, I enjoyed that a little bit. But overall I don't like the movie that much.
I'm sure you've all heard of Christina Perri, she sings the song Jar Of Hearts, that one song that played over and over and over again on the radio. Well, I have grown to really like Christina Perri, at first with Jar Of Hearts, I just couldn't stand her voice anymore, because it played soooo often. But my mom made me listen to a few other songs of hers and I really like a few of them. The songs I like are, Bluebird, Arms, Bang Bang Bang, Distance, Miles and A Thousand Years. My favorite song of all of them, I think is Miles. I think it's such a sweet song, and I wish I had someone to be like this with. Some of the lyrics are:
"Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it's not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I'm older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the "I love you's""
I think that's really cute! Like when you're loved one leaves, or moves to another state or country, I think it's sweet to play this song and instead of thinking about how far away he/she is, just think of how much you love eacher and just count that instead. Although, at the end of her song, her boyfriend or husband does eventually leave her, which is kind of sad...But! Nevertheless it's still a really sweet song.
I don't really like Johnny Cash that much. It's too country and I don't really like his voice that much. Although, yeah, he's not just country, he's also kind of rock/punk, but I don't know I guess for me what he was going for just didn't really connect in my ears. My mom LOVES Johnny Cash though, but she also likes those old timey country music songs. I thought The Band was pretty good. I would like to continue listening to them and get more of an idea of what they do. And kind of like Johnny Cash, The Band is a mix between country, maybe a little bit of rock, and kind of like soul, maybe hip hop a little too? For some reason, I like The Band's mixture of music more than Johnny Cash's. I like The Band's voice more and I really liked that song The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. It's weird how they did a song from the views of the opposing army of the war, but I really like it. It's also weird how they're mostly a Canadian band, and they're singing about the USA. But yeah, I dislike Johnny Cash, but I like The Band.
