Songs of the Summer: 2012 Edition

Now I know summer's been done for a bit now. Sorry for this being a little late. But I think I've complied a great list of songs that I listened to the most and influenced me over this summer. From an unlikely pop song, to getting more into an artist I love, discovering a new group I adore and to the song that was playing when I finally met two of my best friends one Sunday night in August.

Story of the Year- "Just Close Your Eyes" from WWE The Music: A New Day, Vol. 10

You may not have heard me talk about this song much. But it's one of WWE's best right now, and for me all time to be honest. I love Christan. Also I love the style, pace and lyrics of this song. I managed to pop this on quite a bit over the summer. 

"Never thought I would be here, so high in the air.

This was my unanswered prayer.

Defined by another, so much wasted time, 

Out of the darkness, each breath that I take will be mine.

If you close your eyes, Your life, a naked truth revealed, 

Dreams you never lived and scars never healed

(Scars never healed)

In the darkness life will take you to the other side, 

And find me waiting there you'll see if you just close your eyes.

If you just close your eyes.

(If you just close your eyes)"

The Lonely Island feat Justin Timberlake- "Motherlover" from Turtleneck & Chain

Haha, I love The Lonely Island.  Justin Timberlake has always been okay to me as well. Put them together for "Dick in a Box", "3 Way (The Golden Rule)" and this and you've got my sides laughing out of my body into orbit.

"[Andy Samberg:] Break it down

[Andy Samberg:] It would be my honor to be your new step-father 

[Justin Timberlake:] It would be my honor to be your new step-father 

[Andy Samberg:] While your in my mother make me another brother.

And while I'm in your mother I'll never use a rubber 

[Justin Timberlake:] OH! 

Cause every Mothers Day needs a Mothers Night 

If doing it is wrong, I don't wanna be right 

I'm callin on you cause I can't do it myself 

To me you're like a brother, so be my mother lover 

They blessed us both with the gift of life 

She brought you in this world so Imma sex her right 

This is the second best idea that we've ever had 

The choice can be no other 

Be my mother lover"

Hollywood Undead- "Everywhere I Go" from Swan Songs

We move from comedy. To comedy rap of sorts. Hollywood Undead was always a group, which well...I liked Swan Songs and I keep going back to it. The rapping is good, crazy, funny and sometimes heartfelt. But when I have to pick one HU song, it'll always be this one

"When I start drinking

My dick does all my thinking

Hoes want to be scene with me

And I like their big thick titties

D-Cups with extra filling

Take it out let me lick it quickly

Calm down it's just a hickie

I'll blame it on this whisky sipping gets me tipsy

Drink fast and enjoy your buzz

Take back streets to avoid the fuzz

I wanna take you home but your friends won't let ya'

I got a 40 in my Ford Fiesta

Buy beer

Or pay the rent

My signing bonus was quickly spent

So I'll beat my meat like I'm a fuckin' butcher

And I'll punk the pussy like I'm Ashton Kutcher!"

KiD CuDi- "Soundtrack 2 My Life" from Man on the Moon: The End of Day

We're at the part of this list with songs I'll always go back to. I've loved this album since I first laid ears on it. And over the past year this song has emerged as THE best off the album for me. Also I'd gander to say this is one of my favorite tracks of all time.

"The moon will illuminate my room and soon I'm consumed by my doom

Once upon a time nobody gave a fuck

It's all said and done and my cock's been sucked

So now I'm in the cut, alcohol in the wound

My hearts an open sore that I hope heals soon

I live in a cocoon opposite of Cancun

Where it is never sunny, the dark side of the moon

So it's more than life, I try to shed some light on a man

Not many people of this planet understand

I've got some issues that nobody can see

And all of these emotions are pouring out of me

I bring them to the light for you

It's only right

This is the soundtrack to my life, the soundtrack to my life

It's close to go and trying some coke

And a happy ending is slitting my throat

Ignorance the coke man

Ignorance is bliss

Ignorance is love, and I need that shit

If I never did shows, then I'd probably be a myth

If I cared about the blogs, then I'd probably be a jackass

Don't give a shit what people talkin' bout fam

Haters shake my hand but I keep the sanitizer on deck

Hope I really get to see 30

Wanna settle down, stop being so flirty

Most of the clean faces be the most dirty

I just need a thoroughbred, cook when I'm hungry

Ass all chunky, brain is insanity

Only things that calm me down, pussy and some Cali trees

And I get both, never truly satisfied

I am happy, that's just the saddest lie"

Childish Gambino- "Heartbeat" from Camp

I've been listening to Camp for close to a year now. But I don't think more than I have this summer. I bought my physical copy release day and never looked back. I love Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, in whatever he does. Whether it be comedy, acting or in this case rapping.

"So we're done? This the real shit?

We used to hold hands like field trips

I'm a jerk, but your dude is a real dick

I read his posts on your wall and I feel sick

He ain't cool, he ball and all that

But he just a fake nigga who blog in all caps

You couldn't wait to date

I'm going straight for your thighs like the cake you ate

I give a fuck about the niggas that you say you hate

You know that I’m the best when I’m a-ffection-ate

I'm the best that you had, face it

J and Keyshia are related, racist

I give you money, then you burn it, like you made off

She ain't a killer, but she'd fucking blow your head off

I know he wondering, "What the fuck you hiding?"

That we dated like raps about Bin Laden

Ayo, fuck this

Are we dating? Are we fucking?

Are we best friends? Are we something in between that?

I wish we never fucked, and I mean that"

Downstait- "I'm Here To Show The World"

The best WWE theme right now in my opinion and Ziggler is the third best wrestler and entertainer in the company. I got to see Ziggler live and hear this song when I went to Raw in August. Truly one of the best moments of the summer and a memory I'll always have.

"I hold your life here in my hands

Though you try hard to understand

Your little mind won't turn

Those little wheels will burn

You'll recognise just who I am

Bring it on

Do what I say "Better watch what I do"

Better heed the warning I'm here to give you

If you ever doubted me, you don't have a clue

I'm here to show the world

I'm here to show the world"

Childish Gambino- "Backpackers" from Camp

This is the other Gambino song I've grown to love. Much different than the emotional "Heartbeat", "Backpackers" shows off Gambino's rap and lyrical prowess. Plus it's beat is awesome. This album is amazing.

"Alright it's Childish baby

Mr. Talk-about-his-dick-again

Nerdy ass black kid

Yeah whatever man I'm sick of him

That well spoken token

Who ain't been heard

The only white rapper who's allowed to say the n-word

I buy a bunch of 'em and put it on my black card

Now I got some street cred

Use it 'til it's maxed out

I got a girl on my arm dude, show respect

Something crazy, an Asian, Virginia Tech

She too fine

I do dimes

If not that, I'm walking out with 2 fives

Change my ID for the cops, it's not enough yet

Black male in short shorts, I'm double suspect

Ballin' since '83

Half of 'em say gay

Maybe that's the reason I like Lady What-baby's-say

I'm a problem

I'm lame as fuck homie

But I rap like these niggas ain't got shit on me

Fuck the cool kids

Not Chuck Inglish, but people who think

That hatin on me makes them distinguished

Like, "What is this nigga doin rap is for real blacks

I hate that fucking faggot man he think that we feel that"

Or

"I wrote on rape culture my junior year at Brown

So I'm allowed

To say what all his raps are about"

You better shut your mouth

Before I fuck it

You really hate my lyrics?

Or Kid Cudi's? Nigga"

Carly Rae Jepsen- "Call Me Maybe" from Curiosity and Kiss

Carly is cute and this song is catchy as hell. Just ask...well anyone. For a solid month you could hear this song, or a joke about this song, or one of us singing the song in ANY Skype call I was a part of. At least, once you've grown to hate it's catchy-ness, you can realize it's a decent enough song.

"Your stare was holdin',

Ripped jeans, skin was showin'

Hot night, wind was blowin'

Where you think you're going, baby?

Hey, I just met you,

And this is crazy,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

It's hard to look right,

At you baby,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

Hey, I just met you,

And this is crazy,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

And all the other boys,

Try to chase me,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?"

fun.- "Some Nights" from Some Nights

There's some songs and bands out there that just strike a chord with you. On every level. This is that song (and band) for me. The music, the singing, the lyrics and the message. Just all resound in me and makes me wanna listen to it like five times after I've listened to it once.

"But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know... (come on)

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are

When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on

Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!

Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again

Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands

This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go

Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me

I called you up, but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance... oh...

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance... oh..."

Jay-Z & Kanye West- "Niggas In Paris" from Watch the Throne

I flew up to Chicago over the summer. For a few days. First time on a plane as well. I got to meet, hang out, and bond with two of the greatest people to enter my life over the past two years. This song was played for me and cookies were slung at me as I got into the car when I first met them as got to a brand new city. The epitome of memories happens when I hear this now.

"She said Ye can we get married at the mall?

I said look you need to crawl ‘fore you ball

Come and meet me in the bathroom stall

And show me why you deserve to have it all

Ball so hard

That shit cray (that shit cray), ain’t it Jay?

Ball so hard

What she order (what she order), fish filet

Ball so hard

Your whip so cold, this old thing

Ball so hard

Act like you’ll never be around muhfuckas like this again

Bougie girl, grab her hand

Fuck that bitch she don’t wanna dance

Excuse my French but I’m in France (I’m just sayin’)

Prince William’s ain’t do it right if you ask me

Cause I was him I would have married Kate & Ashley

What's Gucci my nigga?

What's Louie my killa?

What's drugs my deala?

What's that jacket, Margiela?

Doctors say I’m the illest

Cause I’m suffering from realness

Got my niggas in Paris

And they going gorillas, huh!"

FJ Decides To Listen To Pop Music

I thought of this little idea today, after four hours of sleep, getting in my car to go to class. I'm a fan of pop music. Catchy lyrics, melodies, songs, etc. Instead of drowning myself in Childish Gambino's Camp and Jay-Z & Kanye West's Watch the Throne, I'd listen to the local pop stations to and from school. About 20-25 minutes each way. So about five songs each way. Here's the nine songs I heard (one of which I heard twice), ranked form worst to best.

9. Usher- "Scream" from Looking 4 Myself

This song is God-awful and anyone who likes it need to be shot. I love pop and pop stations, but not when they play this shit.

8. Usher feat. Will.i.am- "OMG" from Raymond v. Raymond

I hate Usher.

7. Ke$ha- "Die Young" from Warrior

Lyrics in this include "Young hunks, taking shots, stripping down to dirty socks" and "That magic in your pants is making me blush". Ke-DollarSign-ha ladies and gentlemen, whata word smith. Kill me at this point.

6. Kanye West- "Stronger" from Graduation

As much as I love Kanye, and he is my favorite artist of all time, even I admit this is easily his worst single. But even Kanye's worst is better than most of the trash people are into.

5. Flo Rida- "Whistle" from Wild Ones

This is the song I had to hear twice. Ehhhhh. Not gonna lie, chorus is catchy as hell. Flo Rida is a God awful "rapper" though...

4. Neon Trees- "Everybody Talks" from Picture Show

Love the sound, lyrics and pace of this song. Was really into listening to it and probably gonna download it. Surprised I hadn't heard it in full before, been out for awhile. IT STARTED WITH A WHISPERRRRRRRRRRRRR.

3. One Republic- "Good Life" from Waking Up

A lot of whistling on this list. But this is leagues ahead and better song. Sung well and I loved the melody as a whole. Another older song too. But I love the lyrics and they're some you can really take to heart.

2. Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen- "Good Time" from The Midsummer Station and Kiss

I love that both of these guys wanted this on their album and neither wanted to be the feature. Either brilliant or selfish...or both. Either way Owl City is an established artist for me and Carly Rae with "Call Me Maybe" was God-teir pop from over this summer. Combine the two for this lovely song.

1. fun.- "Some Nights" from Some Nights

I got giddy when this came on after I think it was Kanye. Fun. is easily one of my newer favorite bands and this has hit my song of the day tally many a time. I adore this song and easily tops this list of songs heard on the radio. Sometimes, stations get it right.

Song of the Day #201

Finally hit 200 and 201 is Kanye West. Best artist ever.

Kanye West feat. Dwele- "Power" from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

"Colin Powell, Austin Powers

Lost in translation with a whole fucking nation

They say I was the abomination of Obama’s nation

Well that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation

At the end of the day, god damn it I’m killing this shit

I know damn well y’all feeling this shit

I don’t need your pussy, bitch, I’m on my own dick

I ain’t gotta power trip, who you going home with?

How Ye doing? I’m surviving

I was drinking earlier, now I’m driving

Where the bad bitches, huh? Where you hiding?

I got the power to make your life so exciting

Now this will be a beautiful death

(I’m jumping out the window)

(I’m letting everything go)

You got the power to let power go?

[21st century schizoid man]"

Song of the Day #199

Jay-Z & Kanye West feat. Swizz Beatz- "Welcome to the Jungle" from Watch the Throne

"Black Axl Rose, move halfs and wholes

Come down to the jungle, just ask for Hov

Move blocks and squares, move apples and pears

Work pots and pans, just to cop me some Airs

My uncle died, my daddy did too

Paralyzed by the pain, I can barely move

My nephew gone, my heart is torn

Sometimes I look to the sky, ask why I was born

My faith in God, every day is hard

Every night is worse, that's why I pray so hard

Why I pray so hard, this is crazy God

Just when I thought I had everything, I lost it all

So que sera, get a case of Ciroc

Let it chase the pain, before it goes too far

My dreams is big, reality set in
Let off a clip from a automatic weapon,
Through shots in the door, it died in Vegas
Though it fought so hard, I knew it wouldn't make it
I'm a tortured soul, I live in disguise
Rest in peace to the leader of the Jackson 5
I died in my sleep, I'm still Big Pimpin
I ball at the mall, beginning of the ending
Where the fuck is the sun?
It's been a while, momma, look at ya son
What happened to my smile?
My tears is tatted, my rag in my pocket
I'm just looking for love, I know somebody got it
Champagne for the pain, weed for the low
God damn I'm so high, where the fuck did I go?
I'm losing myself, I'm stuck in the moment
I look in the mirror, my only opponent
Where the fuck is the press? Where the fuck is the Press?
Either they know or don't care I'm fucking depressed
No crying in public, just lying to judges
Risking my life, I'm already dying, so fuck it well"

Song(s) of the Day #197

Kid Cudi- "Creepers" from Cruel Summer

"I don't love who I am so I'm workin' on a fix

I don't need a bitch trying to tear my mind on my grip

If I had one wish it'd be to have more wishes, duh

Fuck tryna make it rhyme throw them stones, with your bitch ass

Cutting me deep and even though I bleed I stand alone

Alone I'll be, heart of a lion still shining on your sucka ass

Work it, work it, work it, for inner peace

Fightin' for the freedom of my soul, I can hear the speech

Yeah I mumble while I'm trippin on so many pills

Hah, they figured that, they know I'm ill"

Kanye West feat. Big Sean & Jay-Z- "Clique" from Cruel Summer

"Break records at Louie, ate breakfast at Gucci

My girl a superstar all from a home movie

Bow on our arrival - the Un-American idols

What niggas did in Paris, got em' hanging off the Eiffel

Yeah I'm talking business, we talking CIA

I'm talking George Tenet, I seen him the other day

He asked me about my Maybach, think he had the same

Except mine tinted and his might have been rented

You know white people get money don't spend it

Or maybe they get money, buy a business

I rather buy 80 gold chains and go ig'nant

I know Spike Lee gone kill me but let me finish

Blame it on the pigment, we living no limits

Them gold Master P ceilings was just a figment

Of our imagination, MTV cribs

Now I'm looking at a crib right next to where TC lives

That's Tom Cruise, whatever she accuse

He wasn't really drunk he just had a frew brews

Pass the refreshments, a cool, cool beverage

Everything I do need a news crew's presence

Speedboat swerve, homie watch out for the waves

I'm way too black to burn from sun rays

So I just meditate at the home in Pompei

About how I could build a new Rome in one day

Everytime I'm in Vegas they screaming like he's Elvis

But I just wanna design hotels and nail it

Shit is real, got me feeling Israelian

Like Bar Refaeli, Gisele, nah that's Brazilian

Went through, deep depression when my momma passed

Suicide, what kinda talk is that

But I been talking to God for so long

And if you look at my life I guess he's talking back

Fucking with my clique"

Song of the Day #194

Oh shuffle Gods, I love you. Haven't heard this song in ages and forgot how catchy it was. Don't know why this is song of the day over Green Day's, "Do You Know Your Enemy" that FOX was blaring all day. Haha.

Kanye West- "Heartless" from 808s & Heartbreak

"In the night, I hear them talk the coldest story ever told

Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul

To a woman so heartless

How could you be so heartless

Oh, how could you be so heartless?

..

You got a new friend, well I got homies

But in the end it's still so lonely

..

How could you be so Dr. Evil?

You bringing out a side of me that I don't know

..

So why I got something new to see?

And you just gonna keep hating me

And we just gonna be enemies"

Song(s) of the Day #192

Jay Z &Kanye West-  "New Day" from Watch the Throne

"(Sun in the sky, you know how I feel)

(Breeze driftin’ on by, you know how I feel)

(Breeze driftin’ on by, you know how I feel)

(It’s a new life for me)

(It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day)

(It’s a new life for me)

(Oooh, oooh)

(And I’m feelin’…)

(Birds flyin’ high, you know how I feel)"

Childish Gambino- "L.E.S." from Camp

"Ooh girl, I wanna know

Are you ready to cry, cause I'm no good, no good

Ooh girl, I wanna try

I'm an awful guy and I'm always away

And I'm tryin' to say

I'mma piece of shit

Believe in this

I'm tellin' you

Cause we barely knew, what we had

I'm not that bad, the fun we had

Ooh"

I know I was foul bay-bay,

a-bay late-ly you been all on my brain,

And if somebody would've told me a month ago

Fronting though, yo I wouldn't wanna know

If somebody would've told me a year ago

it'd go, get this difficult

Feeling like Katrina with no fema

Like Martin with no Gina

Like a flight with no visa

First class with the seat back I still see ya

In my past, you on the other side of the glass

Of my memory's museum,

I'm just saying, Hey Mona Lisa,

come home you know you can't Rome without Caesar"

So I parallel double parked that motherfucker sideways

Old folks talking about back in my day

But homey this is my day.

Class started 2 hours ago, oh am I late?

You know I already graduated

And you can live through anything if magic made it.

They say I talk with so much emphasis,

Oh, they're so sensitive.

Don't ever fix your lips like collagen

Say something were you gone end up apologising.

Let me know if it's a problem man,

Alright man, holla then."
