Sir Sly and Phillip Schlosser

Image
Today's song is by the trio known as Sir Sly. I really like the dark intensity of this song and the heavy drum beat in the background. This has such a steady rhythm to it, like one of the beats movie makers use for scenes when people are using hammer spikes for making railroads or something. I feel like you will understand what I mean when you listen to this song...But this song also has this sense of adventure or running towards something that you can't find until you finally come up to some place and reach understanding. I really like this song and it's really just awesome! Today's instrumental song is and original piece by Phillip Schlosser. I really like the interesting use of string instruments along with a heavy drum bass. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Hunter Hayes & Jason Mraz and August Rush

Today's song is a wonderful duet by two incredible artists, Hunter Hayes and Jason Mraz. These two have lovely voices by themselves, but they sound phenomenal together. The melody carried by Hunter Hayes is brilliant and the perfect harmonies are masterfully performed by Jason Mraz. The added guitar melodies make this song absolutely perfect. This is a really cute song, sung by two very cute and talented men. Its perfect! Today's instrumental song is from the movie August Rush. The music from this movie is absolutely stunning and magnificent. If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend you go watch it. It is just phenomenal! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Kids of 88 and Calvin Harris

Today's song is by a group that i have not posted about in a very long time. Kids of 88 always seem to amaze me with how different they sound and honestly, how trippy their music can be. This music can take your mind to so many far away places which I find so intriguing and very rare. This song has a great melody and awesome back beat which makes this song rounded and solid. This is just such a unique duo that I can't help but be extremely interested in their music. Today's instrumental song is by Calvin Harris. This song definitely has a video game vibe. But its still a pretty cool song! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Wild Cub and The Road To El Dorado

Image
Today's song is an energetic and pumping song by Wild Club. This song has the energy felt in a lot of happy indie songs, but one of the cool things about this song is how they use the bells as the underlying melody and bass. This song is also so complete without having that super climax moment that people akin to a drop. It still maintains a good feel and great sound. This sound is pretty captivating and even contains the beat to bob and sway to. Today's instrumental song is from the animated move, The Road to El Dorado. I thought this movie was awesome when I was younger. I still do...anyway, this song has a feeling of adventure and this tropical nature which is pretty cool! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

R3hab, Nervo, & Ummet Ozcan and Maddix

Today I decided to post some hardcore electro music because its kind of freaking awesome. This first song is collaboration done by R3hab, Nervo, and Ummet Ozcan. This song has fantastic drops that lead into these cool synth sounds and a weirdly great beat. The vocals are nice and the entire background music is so solid and full. Definitely a good mix done by these three! Today's instrumental song is by Maddix and this song is severely sick. It moves from an intense electronic sound to a smooth trance feel with some house and then transitions back to sweet beats and this persistent energy. I really like the underlying bass you hear at 3:41 because it's pretty mind-blowing. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Young The Giant and Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Image
Today's song is by the band Young The Giant. This song explores a completely different side of this band, and I really like it! This is pretty edgy for Young The Giant and they masterfully meld indie rock with a more hardcore style. The vocals have a more intense feel while maintaining an indie sound and there is incredible synth work going on in the background. The climax moment in this song is so great and its pretty aggressive. Basically, this song is unique and edgy! Today's instrumental song is one of the coolest songs I have heard in a long time. This comes from the game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Everything about this song is absolutely perfect and has great intensity. This is something worthy of the electro gods Daft Punk. Which means this song is phenomenal and beautiful and intriguing. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Switchfoot and My Name Is Lincoln

Image
Today's song is by a band that I really love, Swtichfoot. I know that I posted one of their songs roughly a month ago, but this song was too good to pass up on. I love everything about this song, from the bass drum beginnings to the bright and just purely happy chorus. There is something about the way the chorus makes you feel that is so hard to put in words. It is like you feel happy, carefree, wild, free, and uplifted at the same time. This is one of those songs that I would see myself running through a field or the ocean surf feeling complete contentment. I am curious to hear how you guys would describe the chorus feel! Today's instrumental song is from the movie My Name Is Lincoln. This song has such a beautiful feel and the same sort of uplifting feel. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
