For today's song, I chose something from Florence and the Machine. Someone asked me who Florence and the Machine was the other day, which, to be quite honest, was a little depressing. Now I know most of you  know "Dog Days," but guess what, she has so many more amazing songs!! I saw her live on Sunday night and I have to say that the studio versions do no justice to her voice. Her voice is so powerful and beautiful  If I were you , I would go check out her other masterpieces because you will fall in love! Today;s instrumental piece has a similar tonality,  but still has a different tune and sound to it. Many of you may have heard this song as it comes from the soundtrack of Requiem For A Dream. This soundtrack is really amazing as is the movie, and creates an intense and suspenseful mood. Let me know what you all think!

Splitter and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Today I have some music for you that is so refreshing because it is just some good old rock and roll. This song is by a band called Splitter, a name that I would automatically think would suit a  more metal sound. But this song is what I think the Beatles would sound like if they had a little heavier rock. And I love it! This song has a lot of the older rock elements that have become classic, but the lyrics and style of guitar playing is very modern. That combination is pretty damn swell when we hear it in a song like this. I mean you take the guitar solo that is thrown in the middle, and that just screams rock and roll. And then of course we have the vocals which remind me so much of Paul McCartney. This is definitely what a modern day Beatles would sound like, and there is nothing wrong with that! Every kind of artists needs some evolution, it just so happens that a second band proves to be a bit of that evolution for the Beatles. This song opens up with a repeated guitar rhythm ...

tyDi and Benny Benassi

Today's song is by an Australian DJ called tyDi. He started out as a drummer, but then switched to being a DJ so his songs has pretty great drum beats as well. This song has good energy and great vocals! This song is more subdued than usual dance music but it still has a bumping beat. This song is kind of cool because it addresses a huge problem in youth society today. Bullying seems to encompass a lot of adolescent life and this song is kind of an anti bullying message. But the way that tyDi goes about it is really cool. This song definitely has this really nice chill undertone to it. It sounds like something that would belong to an underground club or music scene. There are some darker undertones to it, and even a little bit of psychedelic undertones. This music video fits the undertones of the song not only because of the content, but also the video production. The black and white and grey scale really helps to emphasize the ideas behind the music. tyDi has a way with the elect...

Ek Villain and Pearl Harbor

Today I have music for you that I find to be quite unique. This is from a Bollywood film and comes from the Indian music industry, yet it sounds like nothing I have ever heard from this film industry. I know that Bollywood is home to thousands of movies and even more songs, but this song is unlike anything I have ever heard from the entire era of Bollywood music. This song is from the movie Ek Villain which is an absolutely phenomenal movie. A lot of Indian films that have come out in the recent few years have kind of sucked, but this film is one of the really good ones. And with a movie like this, you have to have a soundtrack that is equally as interesting and intriguing and spectacular. This song is actually one of my favorites from this movie and for good reason. I guess this breakdown will have to start from the beginning. I love the way this song opens with the gorgeous piano solo to set up the song. This is a darker and sadder song because this movie as a whole is darker. But th...
