Keeping It Fresh

Today we have another indie/alternative rock band called Young the Giant. This song has an awesomely heavy drum sound and some steel electric guitar playing going on. The song starts out at a marching pace and then the chorus explodes with energy and you can't help but get up and start jumping or dancing. I put this song on repeat so many times because the rhythm, energy, and beat is so infectious and its just amazing! I seriously hope you all enjoy this one!  Today's instrumental song has a really sweet guitar solo and melody! It's quite good and it was composed and performed by the same person. It is a short piece, but maintains teh energy so I think it meshes with the first song well. I hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by a pop group that is kind of mainstream, but the song we hear on the radio by this group is not their real style. The Wanted is an English-Irish boy band, who Ellen Degeneres describes as the bad boys. Put them next to One Direction I can totally agree with Ellen. This song has a really upbeat sound to it and the lyrics are really good. One thing I absolutely love about The Wanted is the witticisms in their lyrics. They also have really good play-on-words and make an interesting use of grammatical parts of a sentence. It is really unique which is quite intriguing. This song has such a fun melody and rhythm to it! Today's instrumental song is by M83! This song has a good, energetic beat to it and can be a good motivation song. The drums have an awesome part in this song towards the middle! I was excited....but i hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today's song of the day is by indie rock group Youngblood Hawke. It has so much energy and spirit to it. It is a really fun song and the background of the chorus kind of sounds like "Save The World" by Swedish House Mafia. They integrate other kids' voices really well in the background, and the music makes you feel pumped and ready to take on the world. Today's instrumental song of the day is something someone made t home and posted on YouTube. It is really good, and has a steady rhythmic beat and it maintains energy throughout the whole thing. The guy who created it is Trevor Newton, and this is his first song, I was impressed when I heard it because it is really good for a first timer I hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by the German house/electronic group, Mondotek. They got really popular in France too, so maybe some of you have heard of them. This group has really dancy songs and fast paced beats which really gets the adrenaline pumping.The music video for this song is also really cool because the dancing they do in the video is pretty sweet. Now today's instrumental song comes from Mortal Kombat. You can judge me all you want but this is definitely an adrenaline booster. You can head-bang to it, play video games, workout to it....pretty much anything! This is a really catchy beat and I thought it complemented the first song well. I hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is by Trey Songz. This song is so catchy and he really sings it well. It is a heartbreak song, but the tune is so amazing and I really love the way he ranges the vocals. I have to warn you now though, there are some explicit words so its your decision to listen to this or not.Anyway, this song is pretty awesome so hopefully you all will enjoy it! This instrumental is some R&B, which you usually don't hear. It has the typical snare drum beat and a catchy tune that I imagine someone would be singing to. It is repetitive, but not so much that you get extremely bored of it. I hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment!

Today's song is calmer and more soothing, with beautiful guitar playing. Jason Mraz is such and incredible singer and musician. This song is a love song, but it can really apply to anyone you love. His voice is so uplifting and incredible. I saw him live before school started and he is way better live than in recorded songs. That really says something about his voice because usually it is the other way around. This song is really catchy and I hope you all enjoy! Today's instrumental song of the day is definitely more orchestral, but the melody is so beautiful. You can interpret this song in so many different ways. I think the cello solo is absolutely incredible and lyrical. You may not be a fan of orchestral music, but this is very moving. I hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment!

Today's song of the day is by Sebastian Ingrosso and Alesso! This song also features Ryan Tedder who is the lead singer of One Republic (woot woot). This song is really good, and  I was singing along...This song is so much fun to dance, sing, and chill out to. It isn't super repetitive, which is a problem I hear in a lot of house or techno songs. This is a pretty dynamic song and its just amazing! The beat is also a really good pace. Today's instrumental song is by a Russian artist, Ivan Dinges. I found out about him a few days ago and you all get to be my lab rats! I am trying him out on all of you to see if you like him or not. This song is really catchy and has a really consistent, solid bass. Definitely some head-banging and a little dancing too. I absolutely love the small bits of vocals in this song because he blends them really well and they sound really cool. I am glad I found him, because Ivan is pretty darn good. Please comment and I hope you enjoy!
