Eagles and Passenger

Image
Today's song is by an iconic rock band called The Eagles. What I really like about this band is that they don't always take on the stereotype of the 1970's rock band like The Who and Black Sabbath. This takes on a calmer, mellower side of rock music. Its one of those songs that you hold the lighter up and sway to. The harmonies in the background are so soothing and just plain great. Today's instrumental song is by Passenger. I love this song so much and I love his entire album so incredibly much. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Maroon5 and Game of Thrones

Image
Today's song is off the new soundtrack coming out for Catching Fire. Tangent topic, but you all should definitely go see that movie because the series is phenomenal and the first movie followed the book really well. Anyway, this song does a fantastic job of capturing the intensity that comes with this story line as well as the eeriness and discord that the Capitol shows. That's right, I just analyzed this hardcore. But this really is a very nice song! Today's instrumental song is from the awesome television show called Game of Thrones. Now I absolutely love this show, but I must warn you that there is quite a bit of nudity that can make things pretty awkward. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Marc Anthony and El Greco

It has been an extremely long time since I have posted any cultural music. So today, I have some always energetic Latin music by the popular Marc Anthony. This song has a more traditional feel to it, but Marc Anthony makes it work in such a way that it sounds absolutely incredible! Today's instrumental song is from the movie El Greco, who if you do not know, is a famous artist. This song has a very calming epic sound which is beautiful! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

AFI and Gotham Road

Today's song comes from a band that I haven't posted about in a long time. AFI recently came out with a new album and this song is one of the lesser known songs off the album. I really like the pounding drum beat along with some of the creepiest and sickest vocals. This song has a mix of super rock and a haunting chill which is pretty awesome! Today's instrumental song is by a band called Gotham Road. This band is a little heavier than AFI, but still a good band for all my metal rockers out there. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

AN21 and Blasterjaxx

Today's music is all about that big room house style. This first song is by AN21 and features Max Vangeli. It has a good beat and some pretty sweet drops. Plus the fusion of a piano chorus is pretty awesome! Today's instrumental song is by Blasterjaxx and really pulls the crazy dancer out of you. Or just crazy in general. This song has so much energy and makes you get out there, its just something you have to do! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Hurts, Alesso, & Calvin Harris and Mat Zo

Today I am so incredibly happy and excited to share this song with you! This song features three artists that I love so much because of their talent and genius musicianship. Alesso and Calvin Harris are electronic tycoons that bring huge amounts of energy and sick beats. Hurts provides some of the electronic epicness in this song and of course, the lead singer Theo Hutchcraft uses his powerful vocals. This song is just so freaking phenomenal and I have been listening to it over and over! Today's instrumental song is a really cool and suave song by Mat Zo, and I find it so awesome at how unique and original this song sounds. It can get you up dancing and maybe even get you going a little crazy. Just a fantastic song! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Kids of 88 and Cloud Atlas

Image
Today's song is by an awesome band called Kids of 88 and I have to say, this ones a weird one! This is one of those songs that sounds so completely out there that it takes you to a place you never thought you could ever go. I love this song because it has this interesting pass off between a major and minor sound which makes this song pretty damn trippy. But the beat is so good and even this strange melody is absolutely captivating. Today's instrumental song comes from the movie Cloud Atlas, which has one of the most incredible scores I have heard. Every song has a story to tell and every story is completely different. Definitely a mind blowing masterpiece. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
