Ballad of Mona Lisa - Panic! at the Disco

A little haunting, a little fun, a lot beautiful, definitely unique, and absolutely memorable.  The music video is interesting, too, although honestly I'm not all that sure what to make of it...

Mr. Brightside - The Killers

I stumbled on this song entirely by chance, and it's the only Killers song I've ever heard.  But it's been stuck in my head for days now and really, I think I'm in love.  It's a great song.

The music video is very interesting too, although I'm not quite sure what to make of it...

Pas de Cheval - Panic! at the Disco

"It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine - imagine knowing me."  Need I say more?  It's utterly self-absorbed, completely egotistical, and one of the greatest songs ever.  It's just plain fun to listen to.

This week's song:

Major Tom - Shiny Toy Guns

This song is interesting lyrically and I love the singer's voice, but what really makes this song amazing is the haunting, beautiful chorus.  I've been playing this song on repeat for days now, and I'm in love with it.

Music Monday

This week's song suggestion is short - let the song speak for itself.  It's my new favorite.

We Are Young - 3oh!3

Music Monday: Danger Days Edition

If you have not heard Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys yet, I am about to rock your world.

It's My Chemical Romance's new CD.




The music is excellent, of course.  Planetary (GO), SING, and Save Yourself I'll Hold Them Back are my personal favorites, although honestly they're all good.

The real selling point for me, though, was the world of the Killjoys.  MCR has released music videos for Na Na Na and SING (both brilliant) and I love how they fit together to form a storyline.  SING actually made me tear up a little when I watched it.

Music Monday

So basically Music Monday is where I tell you about some awesome music that you really should listen to.

Dance Floor Anthem - Good Charlotte

Good Charlotte in general is a pretty great band, but this song is one of their best.  It's got an irresistable beat, irresistable lyrics, and just makes you feel good.

Bad Day - Daniel Powter

This song cheers me up every time I'm upset, without fail.  Enough said.

Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song) - Enrique Iglesias

So the lyrics don't make a whole lot of sense, nor are they exceptionally original... but this song is worth a listen (or three) just for the ping-pongs.  Seriously, I laugh every time I hear this song.

This City Is Contagious - The Cab

From a purely lyrical standpoint, this song is beautiful - the words, the metaphors, the meaning.  "We'll bring neon to its knees" is quite possibly my favorite line of all time.  Although "You're hearing more than sound" runs a close second.  Anyways, if you are only ever going to look up one song from my Music Monday posts, this should be it.


Weightless - All Time Low

If you've ever felt, as they put it, "stuck in a rut," this one's for you.  It's for anybody who's ever wanted to get out there and live life and be free.  I know I've felt that way and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in wanting to be weightless.

Share the Well - Caedmon's Call

This song's a little - okay a lot - out of my usual genres.  And I'll admit I didn't like it much at first.  But when you listen to the lyrics, it's actually kinda beautiful.  Also, the funky music I can't really categorize is kind of growing on me.  I have a feeling this song won't appeal to a lot of people, but it's got a great message that's really worth sharing.

This Is For Real - Motion City Soundtrack

I'm new to MCS; I just got the "Even If It Kills Me" CD a few days ago.  I fell in love almost immediately.  I'm not 100% sure on the meaning of the lyrics... I think parts might be open to different interpretations.  Still, it's a pretty awesome song.

Love Like Woe - The Ready Set

Some people don't like this song, I know.  But you can't deny that it's basically adorable.  When it's on the radio you really have no choice but to sing along!

According To You - by Orianthi

I can never actually decide if I like Orianthi's other songs or not, but I love this one.  It's upbeat and fun.  Plus, I happen to find the lyrics both hilarious and meaningful.  I've heard a few different interpretations of the lyrics, but I think of it as a "ignore the haters - somebody loves you for who you are" kind of song.

Dancing Queen - ABBA

So, this probably won't appeal too much to my male readers. But it is a classic great song, so much fun to dance to or sing or just enjoy.

Let's Dance - Hawk Nelson

This is just a feel-good song. It's all about being happy with who you are, instead of trying to change yourself to fit the material world. You just can't stay unhappy after listening to it two or three times.

All At Once - The Fray

If you want to analyze the lyrics, there's a nice message about true love versus temporary love. But I don't even listen to the words, I just listen. There's just something indefinable and beautiful about this song that stays with me for days after hearing it.

Music Monday

So basically Music Monday is where I tell you about some awesome music that you really should listen to. This week is Fall Out Boy edition!

I Don't Care

Seriously, this is one of the most amazing feel-better songs of all time. Sing the chorus a few times and no matter what you'll be in a great mood.

Dance, Dance

A little frantic, but in a good way! This is on just about every upbeat playlist I've ever made, and it works great for everything from driving to running to, well, dancing.

Thanks for the Memories

This is an excellent venting song, when you just need to listen to music and think angry thoughts. It's also a great all-purpose song, just like Dance, Dance.

Spinning - Jack's Mannequin

Now, I'm not a huge JM fan, but this song is just so amazing.  It makes me happy and sad and a little nostalgic, all at the same time.

This Week The Trend - Relient K

I am a huge Relient K fan. Interestingly, I didn't like this song very much when I first listened to it, but lately it's been growing on me a lot. It's got a good beat, and lyrics that everybody can relate to. Everybody's screwed up, given in to peer pressure, or felt like their life was getting out of control; and this song expresses those feelings perfectly.

Skyway Avenue - We The Kings

I heard this song called "dark," but I don't think it's dark at all. I think it's beautiful and incredibly sweet. It's the kind of song you have to play at 70 miles an hour on the Interstate, with the windows down and the volume up.
