Right. This is a blog entry for my Brit baby, Joe Brooks! *applause, applause*
Joe Brooks (born 18 May 1987) is a British singer-songwriter, born and raised in Southampton, United Kingdom. He's an Indie artist and I'm totally in love with him :D He was signed to a record label before but now he's backed to being unsigned.
Just like how I know many artists, I added him on MySpace. Just saw him somewheres and added him without really listening to his music. HAHA. I think at that time I swore to myself that I'd listen and organize my friends list and just unfriend those artists that I don't have a particular liking to but I just never got around to doin' it. Yeah, then after some time I saw (on MySpace as well) his single release. That was the release of Superman, his most famous song. I saw this picture of him and was interested. I thought I'd really like to learn a song that's titled Superman.
So I went to his page, listened to the track and thought "Hey, this guy's no joke. I like him." So I kinda half-listened to his other tracks and really realized how good he was.
Joe's really great. He's a great singer and an even greater songwriter. And he's Brit for goodness sakes. It literally adds to his over-all appeal. His accent is to die for. At first I didn't think he was good looking but he actually is. His songs are very meaningful and romantic. He's a passionate boy and he's got heart. And I don't know if his first name and initials are purely coincidental but I guess I'll just ignore that. I guess JB and Joe will have double meanings from now on.LOL
He recently did shows with the Ocean Grove Band and Sara Haze. That was seriously EPIC. If you didn't already
know, Sara Haze is a BEAUTIFUL(in every sense of the word) female artist who I am also addicted to (Mainly because of Joe too). And Ocean Grove Band is what we previously know as the Bulldozers and the Jonas Brothers' band! Consisting of John Taylor, Greg Garbowsky, Jack Lawless and Ryan Liestman. I'll talk about them in an
other entry, perhaps. And that is a serious advantage for Brookie, considering the band's fame (even if they're just starting under the new name). What's seriously MORE EPIC is Joe coming to the show! Yeah, I mean JOE JONAS.

Joe songs I love and some comments.
2. Apple. Because! HAHA. I know someone named Apple. And whatever, this song's really catchy and funny (for me). Listen to it HERE.
3. Five Days of Summer. This song is really romantic and sad. Just imagine, telling somebody you love her enough to let her break your heart again. And his voice is just so very sweeeet. That is so, I will love you forever. Listen to it HERE. This is a good lyric video by the way. HAHA.
4. Getting Away. Upbeat and fun! It makes you wanna grab somebody's hand and dance under the sunshine. And get away in some crazed fun trip with the singer. HAHA! Listen to it HERE.
5. Holes Inside. This I totally am in love with. I'm a super sucker for sad songs, you see. And this one is just sooo sad but equally relatable and you'll literally just cry listening to this. "When all that you've tried leaves nothing but holes inside." That line just throws me. Listen to it here.
6. These Broken Hands Of Mine. This was featured on Grey's Anatomy so it's pretty famous. IT'S AN AMAZING SONG. Probably sadder than Holes Inside so it just enthralls me. This just made me appreciate his songwriting skills more. :D I love you Brookie! Listen to this song HERE.
