It's been years since I have heard new music from this guy. For years, I have been living off his only album (which I am most familiar with) and his The Rocker soundtrack. Last time I heard from him, he was 17 and he's 23 now. HAHA. I can't believe it. But NOW, he has come back from the dead and is making great new music! I love him.
LYRICS: Something special, something strange When you look at me that way I can feel it
Though it’s rushing through my veins I just don’t know how to say what I’m feeling
You take me high, you take me low So I fall a little more And I let myself fall anyway Will you go, will you go Though your heart scares you so And just let yourself fall anyway
When you’re hiding where we sleep Where our dreams become our dreams I can feel it
Could you tell me anything? Could you teach me how to speak? What I’m feeling?
You take me high, you take me low So I fall a little more And I let myself fall anyway Will you go, will you go Though your heart scares you so And just let yourself fall anyway
HAHAHA. Landon was so wacky at the beginning of the video.
I love this song.
LYRICS:
Golden leaves looked brown to me. The world had less color without you Shapes in the sky looked plain to my eyes. The world had less color without you I... know... plenty of people with eyes... closed they don't see you like I do Darling I do
Notes on the keys meant nothing to me. The world didn't sing without you Birds in the trees fell silent for me. The world didn't sing without you. Without you... I... know... plenty of people with eyes... closed they don't see you like I do Darling I do Darling I do see you
I... know.. Plenty of people with eyes.. closed.. They don't see you like I.. know.. Plenty of people with eyes.. closed.. They don't see you like I.. know.. plenty of people with eyes.. closed.. They don't see you like I do. Darling I do Darling I do Darling I do I do Darling I do Darling I do see you.
Just stumbled into good covers and I can't help but put 'em up.
Okay, going pretty mainstreamy here and...well, that's FRIGGIN okay.
Sooo. Tis the original by Li'l Wayne. Take a listen.
YEAH YEAH.
First cover would be of Zach Easterwood and Taylor Woodford. Zach does vocals for the band Since Forever (of whom I have been a fan of since they followed me on Twitter! :D) And Taylor is their friend but I think she was just a fan before because I saw this vid of her covering one of their songs. Anyway, I know that they are both from Nashville.
I so totally love Zach and Taylor but Zach and Taylor TOGETHER?! NO NO. How can they engage in seriously major giggling and flirting in front of the camera? Seriously, Zach, Taylor, can you just do googly eyes AFTER the video?
Anyway, HERE IT IS:
Next cover is by DEMI LOVATOOOOO! *Applause, applause*
OHOHOHOHO. I feel totally uncool putting Allstar Weekend here but y'know, it's ONE SONG okay. Don't be all over me and stuff.
Zach, looking half-hot and half-zombielike, as always.
I have nothing to say except Zach looked half-HOT but not totally hot and Cameron is gorgeous but I really don't like the whole Allstar Weekend band y'know as music people I mean, they're alright I guess. Okay, so maybe I have a FEW things to say.
I know this is just a cover but I love it so so much! This song really gets to me. I hold a very special place in my heart for Relient K. They give me so much musical inspiration that I fear that I may be less objective with them (I say this again). But NO, cause they are really great and talented. You will find out for yourself as you listen to more of their music. Especially their originals. Listen to this Relient K cover of Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. ENJOY!
Lyrics:
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind There was something so pleasant about that place. Even your emotions had an echo In so much space
And when you're out there Without care, Yeah, I was out of touch But it wasn't because I didn't know enough I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy? Possibly
And I hope that you are having the time of your life But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are, Ha ha ha bless your soul You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy I think you're crazy I think you're crazy Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun And it's no coincidence I've come And I can die when I'm done
I'm feeling so Landon-ly Pigg-ed out today. Sooo, here's one of my favorites! This was our first song, Landon and I. HAHA.
When I first heard this, I thought I was forcing myself to like it. I felt half-hearted about both the music and the lyrics. Honestly, I really thought the lyrics were quite below my standards. EENK. And I guess I was over- evaluating because I realy wanted to LIKE his music.
By the way, I came to know Landon from the movie "Whip It", directed by Drew Barrymore (YEEY!) and starring Ellen Page and many others. I really love that movie. It's about roller derby (I seriously do not know a thing about that). Anyway, Landon plays Oliver, the love interest of Bliss (Page) but in the end he turns out to be a big douche. He's a band vocalist in that movie and I didn't seriously think he was a musician but in fact he is. The songs he were singing in the movie was actually his works. So, YEAH, he's great like that.
I don't know, after hearing a lot of his music, I...I basically liked him. This song was always first to play in my list (I don't know why but I don't shuffle) and after some time I became more familiar with it and then I would start to feel all tingly and light-headed every time I hear the first two lines. There came a time when I would give a happy squeal and I'd go crazy over hearing just the intro music. HAHA. Good times. It was like having your crush send you a sweet text message. LOL. Because! Because everytime it was like he was singing the song to you. And he was in love with you.
YES, crushing on Landon. Though I've just discovered that he has a galfriend. Mae Whitman, whom I know through some movies. Okay, I like them together. Peesh.
Anyway (this wasn't supposed to be an artist post), I still love him aaand this song is just soo...nakakakilig.
PLUS, he has this cute music video to go along with it.
Lyrics:
I think that possibly Maybe I've fallen for you Yes there's a chance That I've fallen quite hard over you
I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down I wanna come too-
I think that possibly Maybe I've fallen for you
No one understands me Quite like you do Through all of the shadowy corners of me
I never knew just what it was About the same coffee shop I love so much All of the while I never knew-
I never knew just what it was About this old coffee shop I love so much All of the while I never knew-
I think that possibly Maybe I've fallen for you Yes, there's a chance That I've fallen quite hard over you
I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine Now I'm shining too-
Because, oh because I've fallen quite hard over you
If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know If I couldn't have you, I'd rather be alone
I never knew just what it was About the same coffee shop I love so much All of the while I never knew-
I never knew just what it was About this old coffee shop I love so much All of the while I never knew-
All of the while All of the while, it was you You-
Relient K, one of the best bands ever. While trying to look for a good lyric video, I was contemplating, trying to see and listen to this in a different person's point of view. Yes, I like them that much that I have no room for objectivity sometimes. HAHA. Well, Candlelight is one of their so-so songs. I like how these guys put HUMOR in everything. They taught me how music can be super FUN.
Enjoy!
Lyrics:
To know her is to love her
I'm going undercover
To catch a glimpse
But not get caught
But to see her
Could be worse
If I don't get my head straight first
On second thought I guess I'll not
She's almost brighter than the Sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Oh please don't seat us in the back
With all the insects and the trash
She is a lady, I'm the tramp
Collecting stares from pairs close by
Then flutters and the butterflies
Ew just a moth drawn to the lamp
She's like an ancient artifact
Something you're lucky to have found
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
When she turns those heads around
Those heads around
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire, entire to embrace
She outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
She's almost brighter than the Sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire, entire to embrace
For she outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
If you want sweet, well, He Is We is the band for you! Here's a collab with Adam Young and the first of their songs that I've heard. I like it so so much and I hope you enjoy it! :P Here's the music video:
And...I know somebody will want to learn how to sing this sooo..here's a lyric video.
Actually, there's an earlier version of this. It's the original featuring Aaron Gillespie. I'm not sure which version's better but I think I'm liking Adam's more. It's stronger, I think? Anyway, here check the other version out.
Lyrics:
Take my hand, I’ll teach you to dance. I’ll spin you around, won’t let you fall down. Would you let me lead, you can step on my feet. Give it a try, it’ll be alright.
The room’s hush, hush, And now’s our moment. Take it in feel it all and hold it. Eyes on you, eyes on me. We’re doing this right.
Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love. Spotlight shining, it’s all about us. It’s oh, oh, all, About uh, uh, us. And every heart in the room will melt, This is a feeling I’ve never felt but, It’s all about us.
Suddenly, I’m feeling brave. Don’t know what’s got into me, Why I feel this way. Can we dance, real slow? Can I hold you,can I hold you close?
The room’s hush, hush, And now’s our moment. Take it in feel it all and hold it. Eyes on you, eyes on me. We’re doing this right.
Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love. Spotlight shining, it’s all about us. It’s oh, oh, all, About uh, uh, us. And every heart in the room will melt, This is a feeling I’ve never felt but, It’s all about us.
Do you hear that love? They’re playing our song. Do you think we’re ready? Oh I’m really feeling it. Do you hear that love? Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love? They’re playing our song. Do you think we’re ready yet? Love I’m really feeling it. Do you hear that love? Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love? They’re playing our song. Do you think we’re ready yet? Oh I’m really feeling it. Do you hear that love? Do you hear that love?
Lovers dance when they’re feeling in love. Spotlight shining, it’s all about us. It's all about us. It’s all, all, all, all. Every heart in the room will melt, This is a feeling I’ve never felt, But it’s all about us.
Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love. Spotlight shining, it’s all about us. It’s oh oh all about us (hey-ey hey) And every heart in the room will melt, This is a feeling I’ve never felt but, It’s oh, oh,It’s all about us.
Hey y'all (I caught this y'all disease, thanks @MacyMarieMaloy). This is Sara Haze. I like her music very much. Very empowering and inspirational stuffs. I chose this video because it's live....and she introduces David in the beginning! I'm so sorry, I just like David (the violinist) so much. He's my friend on Facebook (YEAAH!). HAHA. Sorry. YEAH, so Sara's been on tour a lot I think. She did shows with Joe Brooks and The Ocean Grove Band and that is how I stumbled upon her. Here is a studio version of this song. And the lyrics are down there. ENJOY!
Lyrics: A summer sunburn The smile you earned stumbles and falls The lessons you’ve learned Choices you’ve made Your first heartbreak Getting too old for the batman cape Simpler times, wanting to fly Mesmerized by Christmas lights Holding out, giving in All the what ifs and might have beens
Every heart has a story to tell Some dreams have wings Some are torn at the seams And just sit there on the shelf If you were to walk in my shoes You would see we are all the same So find the love inside yourself Because every heart has a story to tell
A starburst rush, your first real crush You’re bit by a dog, a yellow school bus Sweet sixteen, that concert you missed Your best friend and your first kiss Learning to fall and wanting it all Believing in Santa clause A letter you wrote A promise you broke Knowing when to say yes and when to say no Every heart has a story to tell Some dreams have wings Some are torn at the seams And just sit there on the shelf If you were to walk in my shoes You would see we are all the same So find the love inside yourself Because every heart has a story to tell So far away life can take you Never forget the hearts that shaped you
The love of your life The fourth of July The times that you laughed so hard you cried The first day of ballet Hardships you’ve faced All the memories along the way It’s the love you lost, the love you made Makes us who we are today
Every heart has a story to tell Some dreams have wings Some are torn at the seams And just sit there on the shelf If you were to walk in my shoes You would see we are all the same So find the love inside yourself Because every heart has a story to tell
This is my heart, this is my story to tell Every heart has a story to tell
This is my lousy blog which is utterly bare. I want to do this blog and make it the BOMBEST thing I have ever done but honestly, typing is not my most favorite activity. And besides, what do I know about these computer stuffs?
But I will do it for YOOOUU!
Pero please just forgive me. For my mind is a cluttered mess and I can just do random songs that pop into my head. This will not be any more organized and any more systematic as my backpack when we were in high school.
But I hope you really check things out, enjoy them (or not, whichever you prefer) and comment! I love you!
♥♥♥Nikka
Read my old posts for the time being as I think of what song to write about (there's so many, I can't choose). But I'm warning you that those are quite old entries na talaga. HAHA.
