So, part two of two of part one of a two part series in which I take a look at my top played songs, write a mini review for them, and prove that I have good tastes in music (hopefully). Anyway, away we go on this Magical Mystery Tour (woah, history!!!).
In My Life - The Beatles
Notice how "Beatles" is spelled with "Beat"? They did that to relate to the beat of the music. Pretty crazy, right? Moving on, I can't really pick a "favorite" Beatles song, per se, because I like a lot of them very much. This song is the most played of my Beatles songs, though, and I really like it's melody. It's depressing and happy, but both emotions are "happenin'" (jive talk) at the same time.
Jumper - Third Eye Blind
Overall, it's a pretty depressing song. I heard it on a radio station, couldn't figure out what song it was (the so-called station didn't even mention the name), went crazy for a few weeks, and tried to commit suicide like the Jumper in the song. Well, maybe not the suicide part. I was overjoyed when I found out the song and bought it, though. Also, I freaking freaked out when I watched the movie "Yes Man" and this was in their. It's a small world, huh?
New Moon Rising - Wolfmother
My dad asked, "What are you listening to?" when he heard this on playing on my ITunes. That's possibly because the song, New Moon Rising, and the band, Wolfmother, are both pretty awesome omages to classic rock/punk/whatever. They just sound classic. When I told my dad what Wolfmother was, and said, as sweetly as I could muster, "I bought it because I love all of you favorite songs so much, and this just reminds me of them," he was SO HAPPY (omg). Brown-nosing, you say? Be that as it may, he drove me to the game store to buy a new video game. Ha!
A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles
Another Beatles song!?! Is that even possible? I told you it's hard to pick favorites, didn't I? This song was part of the Beatles' album that accompanied the movie "A Hard Day's Night." (The link I posted redirects to a clip from it). The movie, while weird, is pretty awesome, and you may consider watching it, if you enjoy long black and whites with some crazy-insane-weirdo humorous bits interwoven into the whole shabang. Anyway, great song, great opening chord, great cowbell.
All the Small Things - blink 182
I did mention, in a previous post that I have to play this song on the drums. Although I think that I've pretty much got it down, I still like to listen to this. Plus, it's gotten like a bazill-i-on plays, just off the fact that I listen to it while I practice. And I believe in the principle that "practice makes perfect." Also, it was hard to learn.
Well, all rightie then. Part two of two of part one of a two part series is complete. Those are my "Top Ten" songs. Next week, we check in on my five (or is she nine) year old sister's songs. _________ help me. Oh, before I forget, let me mention some runners up: Asia, Fountains of Wayne (Stacey's Mom--Hey, I put no link to this because, frankly, the video is....just don't watch it. It has all sorts of innuendo, fantasy, and other "wacky" stuff involving Stacey's mom. The song's catchy though.), and yet again: Wolfmother (yep, they're that awesome). Ok, that's all folks, have fun reading this, and please, please don't read any comments on the videos (unless, you know, you want to). Peepes in the crib say HAY...hay
