The Book

I'm reaaaally sorry for the blurness and fuzzy brain issues yesterday.
So here's another post to replace it since there need to be some form of "synchronisation".
As you all may have known by now, i'm pretty slow on the music and youtube videos' updates. I hardly go to youtube unless i heard a really catchy song somewhere and i want to look for it.

My all-time favourite bands that i can sing along to almost, if not all the songs that i can relate to my life would be:
(in no favoritism order)

# 1 - Metro Station

Yeah, it's Metro Station still. I still love to groove to 'Shake It' whenever i can even though there's nothing to shake. Even if Cyrus has decided to kill our childhood by knocking up with Brenda Song, i still love the songs the band produced. One of their songs that gave me a major impact is 'Seventeen Forever'. It reminded me exactly when i was seventeen that i won't stay young forever. It reminded me to just let loose myself sometimes and go wild with fun. I don't think i've quite fulfilled that until now; at nineteen. I propose a composition named 'Nineteen Forever'. HAHA

#2 - We the kings

Now, WE THE KINGS. I've always liked only 'Check Yes Juliet' only in Sec 3. It was only recently that i fell madly in love with their songs. I'm probably considered as a cliche lover 'cause you guys probably find their lyrics as such. But i still love them cause it's more than just their lyrics that i love. Hear them in acoustic and you'll get what i mean. 'August is Over' and 'Skyway Avenue' acoustic is REAAAALLY good. The song 'Skyway Avenue' touches me every time i listen to it, especially the stanza:

Where are your guts to fly,
soaring through, through the night.
And if you, take that last step i'll follow you.
Leave the edge and fly,
We're finally alive.

As for 'August is over', one particular stanza still haunts me:

You're almost gone,
You're good as gone.
August is over.
We're not the reason. 

Yep. August was the end.

#3 - Copeland

Now Copeland has really been the most memorable band in my list. This band's songs were the ones to introduce me to music websites and applications like limewire. I just came to Singapore not long and i was in the Language school with the other foreigners. This friend of mine lent me her iPod classic one day and introduced me to a whole list of new artistes and songs. This band in particular, she listed me one whole page of songs which i eventually downloaded everything; and i fell in love with them.
Some people may find their songs a drone or whatnot but the feelings it gives me is indescribable. It's not like the normal feelings how the normal pop nor acoustic gives, but something more mature to it.

Have a go at it. If you love it, share the passion with me. If you don't, well, just let it slip off your mind. [:
Enjoy!



With this list, it doesn't necessarily mean that i don't love all those other awesome bands out there like Maroon 5 or Fall out Boys. It's just that the number of songs that i can sing along and relate to are mostly from the bands listed. I think i can confidently say that i know all the songs by these three bands.

So yeap. That's about it. Sorry again about the confusion!
