Top 10 of the week

Just a couple more months to go.

I'm sorry I've been so busy. I'm trying to keep up with posting, but school has been more than happy to keep us busy, and with the end of the year talent show coming up I'm deciding whether or not I'm going to do it, and if I did, what song I'm going to do. So I've decided to create a simple top-10 list of random crap, starting with the song I'm highly considering doing for my talent show. Enjoy!

10. Stay - Rihanna
This is such a beautiful and meaningful song. It's really raw, and since performing in the school talent show well be my first time ever performing a song live, I figured I wanted it to be sentimental and meaningful. I'm really good at piano, and since this is a piano song I'm strongly considering this. Plus it's in my vocal range, at least for the most part, but please, if you have any requests about a song you think I should do feel free to comment below, it's greatly appreciated.

9. The word "hyperbole"
Hyperbole basically means an exaggeration. I might never use this in a sentence but the word itself is pretty damn entertaining.

8. Witty comebacks
Because sometimes "Your mom" just doesn't cut it. I recommend "you're just mad because your mom has a bigger dick than you do" or "if I wanted to hear a bitch I would've bought a dog"

7. Cherry Airheads
No explanation necessary.

6. The card game "BS"
Because why not?

5. Quote;
 "Nobody said that it would be easy. 
They just promised it would be worth it."

4. Color: Yellow
This has been a very long and heavy week, and the fact that it's Friday is really relieving. Yellow is a light and airy color, which is probably how you should take today.

3. Food; Pizza
Generally pizza is my first choice but it seems especially appealing this week.

2. Emotion; Relief
That's definitely the tone for today, at least. I'm exhausted after this and I think today is a day for recovery and fun. :) Enjoy yourself, splurge, hang out with people. Make today awesome.

1. Random acts of kindness
Being random and putting it to good use for strangers will make you a superhero in disguise.

Have a beautiful week, my friends.♥

An Anthem for the Lonely

My whole life I've been kind of a rocker, but generally the stuff I listen to is classic rock, nineties rock. The good stuff, and today I had a really hard time choosing between two songs from the same artist, just going to show how incredible this band is. They've been a long time favorite of mine, and below I've arranged a top 5 list for the week, starting with the amazing...

1. Plush-Stone Temple Pilots
This song.
I could go on and on with this song. The intro, the vocals, the lyrics, my god the lyrics...
So lets's start with why I love it so dang much;
The intro is literally my ringtone right now. It's so well put together, and even though the song has so much meaning and depth to it, it's an upbeat and downright great song. This is another one of my all-time favorites. The lyrics are especially meaningful to me, because I can relate to them right now. They take a little bit of analysis if you can't relate to them immediately, but some of the most prominent and exposed lines are the first four of the song;

And I feel, that time's a wasted go
(time is always wasted, no matter what you do with it)
So where're you going to tomorrow?
(So what are you gonna do with your wasted time? There's no point in trying)
And I see that these are lies to come 
(Lies that what you do is worth something are coming) 
But would you even care? 
(referring to somebody who wronged him, asking him/her if they'd even care about what's going on)

Now me especially in the situation (or as I like to say, shituation) I've been in lately really helps me relate to this song. And of course people take lyrics in different ways and kind of morph it to fit into their specific situation, but for me this song is kind of, you could say, an anthem for the lonely. I feel it, Scott.

2. Desert Song-My Chemical Romance
....
This song leaves me speechless. Words can't even express the emotions this song strikes in me.

3. White Collar Lies-Kopek
You may not have heard of this song before, but you can listen to it here. I can assure you they aren't screamo, I don't listen to anything that hardcore. This is a political song mostly, but it's very meaningful to anybody who's lost someone dear in the military. It's just a beautiful and striking song.

4. Sleep Apnea-Chevelle
The way I see it, this is a song about somebody losing their mind from lack of sleep. But again; if it wasn't amazing, it wouldn't be on this list.♥

5. Deep End-School of Fish
This is a band that should've been popular, but in the 2000's when they came out, their lead singer died before they could become more well known. This is a great song, one that I used to listen to to get away from everything. I highly recommend checking them out, and please, at least give these songs a chance if you haven't heard them. Closed-minded people never got anywhere in life.♥

This is surprising, there isn't a single female artist on this list. These are a few select songs that have meant a lot to me lately, but generally I do listen to stuff a lot softer than these songs.
Thank you for reading! If you have any suggestions yourself of a recent favorite song, leave it in the comments.

My Playlist♥♪♫

I think I'm gonna start doing routine song/music suggestions. Music is my religion, and I couldn't live without it. I live, breathe and am music. So before I start doing suggestions, here are the current top ten on my playlist:

1. End of the Dream - Evanescence
This is the suggestion of the week. I've been an Evanescence fan ever since my big sister played The Open Door on a loop over and over when we were little. At the time I didn't want to admit that I liked it, but we both knew I did. This is off of their new self-titled album, and I thought it was beautiful. It's a little more hardcore than what I usually listen to, but something about it definitely gets to me.

2. All Too Well - Taylor Swift
You call me up again so you can break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest..
The lyrics are so beautiful and poetic. I love this song.

3. Free - Haley Reinhart
I'm currently learning the piano part. This song is beautiful, and even though she didn't write it herself, she completely makes up for that in vocal delivery.

4. Counting Blue Cars - Dishwalla
This song is just awesome. Downright well put together. I was going to perform this for my talent show, but I chickened out. :B I love it. :3

5. Give 'Em Hell, Kid - My Chemical Romance
I love this song, mostly for personal reasons. If you, were here, I'd never have a fear, so go and live your life, but I miss you more than I did yesterday...

6. Syndicate - The Fray
This is a great song. It's really nice to start your week off with, because it's just really...nice.

7. Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
I hope they won awards for this song..it's so beautifully put together, the guitarists deserve grammy's for it. This entire song is just epic.

8. Get Back - Demi Lovato
You'll see Demi a lot on my playlists, and this song is the reason I fell in love with her. When this music video premiered on Disney, I was probably nine years old. I already liked her, but this...this was just amazing. She's been one of my biggest idols since I saw this, and I really respect her. She's my biggest vocal inspiration next to Amy Lee, and while I don't like how she doesn't write her songs, they kick ass.

9. Walk - The Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl, you've done it again. This is an awesome song, hands down.

10. Man in the Box - Alice in Chains
I love AIC, and I had a hard time deciding between my favorites. But this week is a Man in the Box week. ;)

Any music suggestions? I'm going to be doing a "Song of the Week" segment, and if you have suggestions let me know!
