Song(s) of the Day #27

THREE SONGS?! This is unheard of. But it's true. Drove a bit today and an older song that's been stuck in my head popped on. As well as a new pop song and an old reliable rock song. Throw them all into my head and you have today's post. Kanye West and even Bruno Mars are no stranger to this blog. I've always said that 808s as a whole was an average attempt at Kanye doing something new. (Fully realized with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy) And ever since I gave Doo-Wops and Hooligians a change I've been a Bruno Mars fan. I don't have too much rock, but Muse is one of those bands everyone knows and their work is admirable.

Muse- "Starlight" from Black Holes and Revelations

Bruno Mars- "It Will Rain" from The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Pt.1:OST

Kanye West- "Heartless" from 808s and Heartbreak

Song of the Day #7

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a Bruno Mars fan. His music is pretty simple pop/RnB (even with all the layers going on), his lines are (at times) far too lovey dovey, but man can he sing. Had this been a day where I wasn't working on stuff "The Lazy Song" would've been on repeat, but for some reason this song, "Talking to the Moon", took over. There's so much hope and yet so much sadness in the lyrics. Almost a contradiction of emotion if you will. Also I've always liked the serene and peaceful tones in this song. Just one of those days where in the back of your mind you're missing so many people and hope they can somehow sense you're hurting. Happy 11/11/11 everyone.

"Talking to the moon

Trying to get to you

In hopes you're on the other side

Talking to me too

Or am I a fool

Who sits alone

Talking to the moon"
