"Jumper"

"Jumper" is a song by the American rock band Third Eye Blind, released on their 1997 self titled album, and written by vocalist Stephan Jenkins.

In my opinion this song is about putting the past away...

the lyrics there says are these two kids. One of them is trying to get his friend to stop thinking about suicide and is trying to convince him that "everyone has a reason to put the past away" and start over. he says that he knows it might be hard for him and that he would understand if after he helped him he didn't want to see him again. But the kid did take his own life referring to the line:

"We'll he's on the table and he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
And your friends have left too, you've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this"

But in the end the song says that even thought he killed himself his friend was there for him and accepted his decision because that's what's friends are for. The chorus:

"I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand, I would understand"

says that he is trying to help his friend and that he is there for him and he would understand his decision.

The line:

"Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today, you can put the past away"

is just a sum up off the song that says that everybody have problem and in this case a troubled past that will not heal by it self in their life that they have to face and deal with or it will break them down.

Everybody need sometime a friend, a love, brother, sister mother, father or just a person that understands them that's there for them in every situation to help them, and make the best out of the situation...

In Flames concert

So thinking that I was going to do a review of the In Flames concert but I have notice that it's not the easiest thing to do. There is a lot of part to remember from the concert and my memory is not the best, and I think ill never bring pen and paper to a concert that big.

But I can say that it was an really good concert with 4 pre bands and In Flames as the main act.

Pre bands:
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
DEAD BY APRIL
EVERY TIME I DIE
MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER

The first pre band was good but "Every Time I Die" was not so good, the band had no teamwork and no good songs and the singer fail a few time trying to motivate the audience, and "Dead By April" is not live, will never be good live and have like 2 or 3 good songs so they did not put on a good performance. But "Killswitch Engage" put on and really good performance and they started out good with "My curse" witch is my favourite song and they ended good with a cover of "Holy Diver" witch really motivated the audience.

Edit this setlist | More In Flames setlists

just press the setlist to listen to the song.

In Flames opened up with a strong performance of "Cloud Connected" and trough out the whole performance they had the momentum even through the less known song. The song list was really good and the only negative thing with it was that they did not play "episode 666".

Best was "Come Clarity" where it sounded better then the original recording and with a really nice background visual and firework.

The teamwork in the band was just awesome and the singer was really good with the audience.

The ending with "Alias", The Mirror's Truth", "the Quiet Place", "Take This Life" and "My Sweet Shadow" that In Flames always end the live performances with was awesome.

One negative thing with the concert was that the audience was not so much on fire, many in the audience just stood still and didn't ever sing with...

But I am really happy fort seeing In Flames:D

In Flames

So today I'm going to see In Flames live in Malmö.

In Flames is a good melodic heavy metal band and they have a few good song, and for the last couple of weeks i have discovered a few more good song so I am looking forward to the concert.

I'm also going to try and do a concert review, i have always wanted to try and it can be fun:D

just to put up something, not my favourite in flames song but a really good one.
"Delight And Angers"

"'39"

"'39" by Queen

though I have listen to Queen for many years I did not came across this song for about a half year ago and it strikes me now how good this song really is.

"'39" is the 39th song in the Queen studio album chronology.

The song's lyrics are a science fiction short story which concerns twenty volunteers who leave a dying Earth on a spaceship in search of new worlds to settle. They return to report success, 100 calendar years later, with only a single year passing from the volunteers' perspective (due to time dilation). The lyrics imply that the song's protagonist faces his child upon return to Earth:

"Oh so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me"

This, and the fact that all his peers and friends have died, are a terrible grief to the protagonist, as the final words insist:

"For my life
Still ahead
Pity me"

Brian May described the song as follows:

"It's a science fiction story. It's the story about someone who goes away and leaves his family and... because of the time dilation effect, when you go away, the people on Earth have aged a lot more than he has when he comes home. He's aged a year and they've aged 100 years. So, instead of coming back to his wife, he comes back to his daughter and he can see his wife in his daughter... a strange story. I think, also, I had in mind a story of Herman Hesse, which I think is called "The River". A man leaves his hometown and has lots of travels and then comes back and observes his hometown from the other side of the river. He sees it in a different light, having been away and experienced all those different things. He sees it in a very illuminating way, 'cause I felt a little bit like that about my home at the time as well, having been away and seen this vastly different world of rock music... totally different from the way I was brought up, and I had those feelings about home."

It's one of those song that can have a deeper meaning thou the songwriter didn't mean for it.

I think it can be interpreted in a way that when you go out on a big journey to a new world or place you get much experience and knowledge that you take in and can use in the future. And when you come home you share your experience with the people and notice that they are still the same people or have maybe changed in some way but you feel like a different person in one way or another or maybe more then one.

"Broken Wings"

"Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister. released in 1985 as a single.

I think that this song can be reflected in two meanings: one a little more easy and shallow meaning and one little deeper meaning.

This is a great song of a broken relationship. He realizes to late that its falling apart and he knows it over unless he steps up and tells her how much he truly loves her and that he can't do anything without her.

But if you look a little close I think that it's a song of inspiration that urges the listener to heal his wounds, live life again and learn to enjoy. so to speak that every once a while you will hit bumps in the road of your life but that you must learn to deal with them to enjoy your life.

"So take these Broken Wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in"

I think it says that you have your broken wings that reflects a problem in life and you must learn to deal with the problem to live enjoy life. And the line:" when we hear the voices sing, the book of live will open up and let us in" reflects that singing is a way of life that is free, meaning that the problem has been solved and life opens up for us to enjoy...

One of the best songs of the 80s<3

Lyrics

The video is good to, one of the better music videos that was produced in the 80s:) The part in it where the band is not shown gives a little feeling of freedom.

Gary moore

Gary Moore is an Irish blues-rock guitarist and singer. He is an former member of the band "Thin Lizzy" but he's know mostly for his solo career.

He's one of rock's most underrated guitarists (both from a technical and compositional point of view). Gary Moore is a really good guitar player that brings such intensity and feeling trough his guitar. There is not many that can make so good blues-rock that goes right in to your soul. When the lyrics plays in some of his songs it's like the guitar starts to speak out the lyrics and it gives the lyrics so much more feeling...

"Still got the blues"

There are a few songs where the lead guitar communicates vibe and emotion better than any vocal you could apply to a song. This is one of those songs. This is one of those rarities where every note, every lick is timed, spaced, and played just perfectly, where the whole is much greater than the sum of it's parts.

The song is mainly about a guy that though it was easy to let love go, but he found out that it wasn't easy and that his love will always be in his heart ("but i still got the blues for you").

The lyrics is in a way simple but it has a really good feeling in it that makes the word really good. And when the guitar solo just kicks in after a long vocals part it just feels that the guitar just brings the whole song together and deliver the meaning in such amazing way.

This is really how you make a guitar cry and speak at the same time....



"The loner"

It not easy to feel the amazing feeling of and "instrumental" song. An instrumental song is and song with no vocals at all, it's just the instrument that talks for them self...

The guitar just sings and cries at the same time trough the whole song and it's such a beautiful melody, it truly feels like the saga of someone who's alone in the world. I wouldn't hesitate to say that it's an hauntingly(yeah, that's a word) melody.

This is one of does songs that have a real soul in it and such great passion that send shivers trough you whole body and it almost makes you want to cry because the guitar just cries trough the whole song in a so beautiful way....

just close your eyes and enjoy....



"Out In the Fields"

Lets go to one of Moore's song that is more rock to it then blues. "Out In the Fields" was written and recorded by Gary Moore and Phil Lynott (Phil formed the band Thin Lizzy). Gary Moore on vocals and guitar and Phil Lynott on bass and vocals.

Baisically saying that in war everyone is equal. Nobody has a better chance of not being killed. Therefore it is a message of peace "The cries of every nation; they're falling on deaf ears again". It's also about how so many wars/conflicts have to do with religion and race, and how stupid it all is.

The lead guitar solo performed by Moore in "Out in the Fields" has long been considered a masterpiece by electric guitarists, despite its short duration. Included in the Top 100 Guitar Solos of All Time. It starts out slowly then builds up great speed and it's a feel of harmony and above all sheer power.



"Over the Hills and Far Away"

This song is probably Gary Moore's most known song, it a song that everybody have heard sometime.

he lyrics speaks of a man that is accused for a robbery and is being imprisoned for ten years because he can not tell where he had been that night. He had been with his best friend wife that night and she prays that he will returns some that, that's for sure(referring to the line:

"Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms again she'll be."

And he knows that he will taste freedom again some day and he swears that he will return some day.

This is so pose to be based on a true story.

Out trough the song there is a drum play that feels so powerful and joyful that you almost want to jump to it. The drums gives away a little feeling of a military march. The solo is almost like "Out in the Field", it a short solo that begins slowly for a few seconds and then fires up big and just feels so good. The is a really good violin play in the song that gives away a good melody of joy and feeling.

A really good song that because of it's powerful vocals and music.



"Empty Rooms"

This is and really heartbreaking ballad. The lyrics really speaks for them self. It about a love that is broken up and the guy can't get her out of his mind. She is everywhere and he knows that he must be strong but his heart tells his that he is wrong. He must learn how to live without love... The term "Empty Rooms" has an dual meaning. Literally empty rooms - empty of the one you love or empty of love. Also it symbolizes the period of time in which you "learn to live without love" where ever that may be.

There is two versions off this song one "original version" and one "original long version". for me I'd say that he long version is much more better because in the middle of the song it slows down and it one of those part where you feel the power and the soul in the song.....

Still Alive

The song "Still alive" by Lisa Miskovsky is the main theme for the game "Mirror's edge" released in November of 2008.

Mirror's Edge takes place in a modern, utopian city, where a totalitarian regime has taken over following the events of the "November riots", which took place eighteen years earlier. In Faith's (the main character) own words, the city was once "dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful." The government implemented a policy of invasive surveillance, tracking all forms of electronic communication in order to reduce crime to nearly non-existent levels, and quell any challenge to its power.

Faith is a "Runner", a courier who carries physical communiques around the city, her services retained by revolutionary groups who avoid communicating via highly-monitored telephone and e-mail channels. The runner's work on the rooftops of the city being the only communication in the city that is not under surveillance.

The song is singed from the perspective of Faith and she refers to the city as a person.

The first line in the song:

"I have changed
I have changed
Just like you
Just like you"

This verse is about how Faith has watched the city her parents fought to protect, turn from a 'dirty but alive' city, to a sterile lifeless utopia, and in this change she was forced to change in turn, with the city to be able to survive.

"For how long
For how long
Must I wait
I know there's something wrong"

this verse says that she knows that there is something wrong and she is just waiting for it to change because it's not right.

"Your concrete heart isn't beating
and I've tried to
make it come alive"

This verse is saying that the city isn't alive and she is doing everything to give the city life again.

"No shadows,
just red lights.
Now I'm here to rescue you"

This is somewhat a double meaning also, no shadows refers to the bleached lifeless city, in mostly white concrete, broken by striking colours here and there, however throughout the game the primary colour used to signify freedom is red, with all objects you may interact with being coloured red, the last line is Faith declaring that she will rescue the city.

"Oh I'm still alive,
I'm still alive.
I can't apologise, no."

Faith says that she is still working against the city and is still alive and this is an apology to those that have accepted the changes to the city or been too afraid to defy the changes.

"So silent,
no violence.
But inside my head
so loud and clear."

The city is so lifeless, soulless and there is a sheen over the city, no violence because the population is so subdued, but inside her head the city is alive because the she want it to be that way so bad.

"You're screaming...
You're screaming...
Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear."

Faith knows that the people wants the city to change back inside but the people have learn to cover up does thoughts because the are to scared to say something.

"Just sunshine
And blue sky
Is this all we get
For living here"

points to the fact that other than the sun and the sky, there's nothing with soul or life in the city, and living in the environment round the city is all you have.

"Come fire
Come fire
Let it burn and love come racing through"

I believe this is a reference to fires burning away the mask of the city, once burned away it'll be given it's life back and people will stand for their opinions.

"I've learned to lose
I've learned to win
I've turned my face against the wind"

Faith have learn trough her living that there is those people that is trying to stop her and sometime it doesn't goes so well but in the end she know that she can stand victorious on the roofs and just feel the wind blowing in her face and that's a feeling of life.

"I will move fast
I will move slow
Take me where I have to go"

Running and jumping trough out the city, flowing over obstacles at speed, or to shimmy across ledges slowly, both of which lead Faith to her goal, so she is using the city as it is, to rescue it.

I love this song so much, it's a song about fighting for your freedom and something you love because you have the all the right to live with it and in the end you will make a change and break through it...<3

Lyrics

When You're Gone

"When you're Gone" by Avril Lavigne

just can a across this song random from my playlist, it has been awhile since I heard it the last time. I have always thought that it's a good song over the years it has excised but it have never affected me emotional and now it does (maybe because my situation has change, in a really good way) and now when I hear it I shiver a little bit every time...

Avril have said her self that the song is about someone you love and and the little things you miss about them, and I completely agree with her. the song says that when you're love one is gone (maybe just not around by the time, or out of town, vacation or even dead) the pieces of your heart is missing the love one, and the face of the love one. And the only words you need to hear to get you trough the day and make it OK is "I miss you".

the song has both negative and positive parts depending on your situation but if look at the negative parts just by them self, you don't see that those parts ties the song together and make the whole meaning of the song beautiful.


I miss you<3

Gorillaz

A band called "Gorillaz" exist of four animated band members: 2-D (vocals, keyboard), Murdoc (bass guitar), Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals) and Russel (drums and percussion).

So what's the deal with this "virtual hip-hop group"?

Gorillaz was formed in real life by two people : Damon Albarn (from britpop band "Blur") and Jamie Hewlett, who is an English comic book artist and animator.

Damon Albarn has said that there has been many many people working with Gorillaz over the years with him self being the only permanent musical contributor by preforming the singing voice for 2-D on every album and track.

In short, the Gorillaz as real, singular human beings do not exist.

Everybody that has heard Gorillaz knows that it is some really alternative music. If I would describe the music style of Gorillaz I would say like I mentioned before that it is hip-hop with something called zombie-style rapping and alternative rock. So it basically alternative hip-hop/alternative rock. Does genre has some things in common because alternative hip-hop is a genre that's drawing equally from funk and pop/rock, as well as jazz, soul, reggae. it's more keyboard, guitar and strings.

So the whole discography of Gorillaz consists of two studio albums, ten singles, one extended play (EP), one B-side compilation, one remix album, and one remix/B-side compilation.

the band released their first studio album, Gorillaz. Their second studio album, Demon Days, was released in 2005.

"Feel Good Inc."

This song has been Gorillaz most popular song to date. This song is about pop-culture and the repeat of bad ideas through the lot of it. It's saying how people are brainwashed and driven into bad things and how Hollywood is shutting down good ideas. De La Soul represent Hollywood (the INC.), Noodle is freedom of thoughts and different, new ideas and 2-D is trapped in the middle of pop-culture but wants to escape, and realises by the end of it that he can't.

This explains why 2-D repeats the phrase "Feel good," over and over to himself, as he is depressed and frustrated, and why De La Soul are laughing mockingly at 2-D; because he can't be rid of them.

The music video to this song is one of my favourite music videos. It's so cool and really well done.



"Clint Eastwood"

Clint Eastwood is a mix of electronic, hip hop and rock.

Many people thinks that this song is about drugs and what he seen when he is on acid, but that not right.

The video and song name is a reference to the famous western starring actor Clint Eastwood, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". The yell from the film's theme song can be heard at the beginning of the video. Midway through the film, Del summons a graveyard from the ground, which is a reference to the ending of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". Although often mistaken for referring to drugs such as marijuana, LSD, or mushrooms, the song's famous chorus, "I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad. I got sunshine in a bag", is actually a reference to the money in the bag Clint Eastwood's character rides off with at the end of the film. Also in the video, resurrected "Gorillas" dance the Thriller referencing to Michael Jackson's Thriller music video.

The video for Clint Eastwood won an award at the Rushes Soho Short Film Festival Awards in 2001

It's a really wired video but really well done and cool.


"19-2000"

For me the song says that you got all the time in the world, slow down, take it easy, "get the cool shoeshine".


There are two different versions of this song the first called "19-2000" released on this début album "Gorillaz" and the second one called "19-2000 (Soulchild remix)"

Both videos are almost identical, except for a few minor changes in order for the two songs to sync up with the video.

"19-2000"



"19-2000 (soulchild remix)"



"Kids With Guns"

This is one of my favourite Gorillaz songs. I love the bass intro that goes on through the song.

Sorry but I can't find this song anywhere on the internet..:S if you have Spotify it's up there. Or if you have it on your computer listen to it.

http://open.spotify.com/track/0eEgMbSzOHmkOeVuNC3E0k

"Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head"

please listen to this song first and listen to the lyrics before reading my analysis.



So this is an really interesting song, first it sounds like a story but if you look a little deeper and think, you'll see it's more than just a story...

To me this song seems like the idealistic fantasies that we all have. In essence we either all want to be Happyfolk or we feel like we already are. The Strangefolk represent reality, in that, there's always going to be someone or something that comes along to ruin happiness for everyone else.

The Happyfolk were innocent and completely blind to the evil the Strangefolk brought because they couldn't see their eyes. This is a lot like life itself in that we often can't see when bad things are going to happen even if we have multiple signs (shadows, nightmares, etc.). Its that whole "ignorance is bliss" concept, only amplified.

Ultimately greed leads to the downfall of mankind, and that's why in digging for the precious jewels, the Strangefolk woke the spirit of the mountain.

There are two ways to interpret the mountain. You could say that it has always been just a volcano that became active once disturbed, or that there is some true spiritual meaning behind it, in that God punishes those who are evil. But unfortunately, the Happyfolk were caught up in all this, just because they couldn't see the eyes of the Strangefolk...

As depressing as it is, I think this song may just be saying, there never can nor will be a land of Happyfolk because Strangefolk will always come to inevitably destroy it.

"Oh little town in USA, the time has come to see
There's nothing you believe you want
But where were you when it all came down on me?
Did you come it down on..."

I can't be sure about this last line, but I think it's a statement about the U.S. and how the Americans may feel that they have it all over there, but then again they do so little to help foreign nations (this can be discussed). Or maybe, just maybe, 2-D is saying that Americans are the Strangefolk and somehow this song ties back to the U.S. going to war because of 9/11, and the "mining for gems" being one big metaphor for the U.S. digging for oil.

this really says that you can never find a place that's nice and peaceful because there isn't any...

This is an extremely well put together narrative and I love this song because it's sound so cool.

So after analysing Gorillaz I can say this: Many of the lyrics is really good and many of the lyrics is really deeper then you may think. The image that people have of Gorillaz is that it's just a cartoony hip-hop group with some weird song that don't have any meaning at all, just sounds good. They have never tried to listen to the lyrics.

Gorillaz is a really awesome group with a somewhat weird sound that calm your mind and deep lyrics that mean something rather then just sounding good, but that is also important and Gorillaz manage to pull it of almost every time.

I recommend for you to listen to the whole album "Demon Days" because i think it's one of the better albums in the world, and it's one of my favourite albums.

Update...

I know I haven't put up anything here for about 2 month now. The reason for this is more then one, but in a large sense it's was because of a change of life style for a few weeks. but I did not stop completely;P I have been working on things on and off in that period that maybe come up soon...

and the reason for why I'm back is that a few people have been reminding me about it;) and off course that I want to express my thoughts about music and that I love to write and read about music and it calms my mind...it's my door to freedom.

So for now I will just do something small with something bigger coming up the next few days.

The whole Queen thing is not dead, it's everything but dead, just so you know;) I would never give up on QUEEN!!!!!!

So just putting up some songs to listen to and not so much analysing, just song that I like:)

The Who - "Real Good Looking Boy"

A song about a boy that loves him self and he thinks but his mother keep pushing him down, but in the end he falls I love with a person that loves him for who he is and the boy is thankful for the love that person gives him and that the person makes him feel like a real good looking boy.

maybe a little shallow description because I have a bigger in my head but I can't really remember what I have heard about this song before.



David Bowie "Ziggy Stardust"

"Ziggy Stardust" is a glam power ballad that tells the story about David Bowie's most famous alter ego. In a large sense it's about that in the beginning it was David and he's band "The Spiders From Mars" and they had fun just jamming and writing song, but David's fame became bigger and now it is only him.



Nine Inch Nails "The Perfect Drug"

This is maybe a little unexpected but I like this song. So Nine Inch Nails is a little different industrial rock/metal and it sound very special, but it sound good and the song is weird but good. Maybe that's why i like it:P So the song is about a guy that describes he's love like a drug



just ending this by saying:"Music is our last true great freedom. They can burn our books, they can burn our paintings, but they can't stop us singing and making music".

Queen

so if you know my all-time favorite band is Queen<3<3 I'm thinking of starting a Queen kind of marathon here:) don't really know yet, because it's Queen and I want it to be really perfect and nothing ells:)thats probably the reason why I haven't put up anything about Queen yet.

so I just start to put up a few random songs from the Queen discography. the reason why i chose this songs is just that on I came across them when listening to some songs one of them just felt right at the moment and it still does and some just is really good...and that's what's music is all about: feeling.

the songs maybe isn't so known but I must start somewhere...

"I was born to love you"



"las Palabras de Amor(The Words of Love)"



"Mad the Swine" so this is an unreleased song from the first Queen album - "Queen" from 1973 but the song was never released on that album instead it was released on the single "headlong" i 1991. so when i came across it i was like: omg a queen song i haven't heard:) and i love it.

this is really old school Queen<3



"Princes Of the Universe" - included in the soundtrack for the movie "Highlander" a song that is not know by people that don't listen to queen really much, but it's Queen all trough<3



Queen 4-ever

"The Spirit Of Radio"

I love song that pays tribute to music and that explains the love for music:)

so the song "The Spirit Of Radio" by Rush was released in 1980 on the album "Permanent Waves".

The song talks about the music industry, in general. It's saying that music can be a wonderful form of expression, and can make life better, when made for the right reasons.

"Begin the day with a friendly voice,
A companion unobtrusive
Plays the song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood."
this first part really talks about how music can make your day if you waking up and hearing the DJ's voice on the radio and then music start playing and you feel so happy. This have happened to me countless times:)

The song is also saying that the music industry can ruin music. It can fill people with the wish to make music solely for money, for profit, and no other reason.
the last line:
"and the words of the profits were written on the studio hall
and echoes with the sounds of salesmen"
it's that this makes many musicians compromise their art, their music, for the money.
"glittering prizes and endless compromises" It's also saying that it doesn't need to be this way, "it's really just a matter of your honesty". It's up to the musicians to make the music for the right reasons.

it's the horrid truth of what music has come down to: money/fame/profit. The song explains music doesn't have to be this way it shouldn't be about this. The chorus...
"Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenna bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free."
that there explains the beauty of music. It's invisible air waves but yet music means so much to people. It shouldn't be about the price of money, but about the passion of music, the love for music, the freedom they get, but mostly how it affects them as a person and their fans...these things are priceless...

"...All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted.
Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question
Of your honesty, yeah, your honesty...."
I think this part is for all those who think capitalism & technology are at fault for any decline in "soul" music might have. Music can have soul regardless of the medium involved, and money can even be made off of it if done with honesty and integrity.

"One likes to believe in the freedom of music,
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity."
This statement describes many many artists in the music industry, they begin with integrity, but then lose it by "selling out".... they have lost their integrity, artists such as Brittany Spears, Ashlee Simpson. They and many more have proven the point that musicians seeking "glittering prizes" will end up with "endless compromises" ultimately end up "shattering" their careers and loosing many of their once adoring fans.

I can just say that this is what music should be about: the freedom, life, emotions and a gift beyond price...

No music, No Life...

Wonderwall

"Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my Wonderwall"

"Wonderwall" by Oasis

I love this song, but it can be really tricky to figure out the lyrics...

first I must point out one thing, that this is a song that can be interpreted in many ways, depending on the person and how the person is feeling at the moment. Noel Gallagher that has written this song, is one of the best song writers I think and he can write a song with such a depth that can go right in to the heart of everyone.

It’s so great when an artist sings with such passion. I think what makes a song great is when it really means a lot to the person that is singing it, if they can make you feel the song they've done they're job. It’s also cool when the artist says something that many people can relate too, but most people wouldn’t have been able to think of in those words themselves.

many people think of this as an love song. I totally agree because the song can mean so many thing.

So this is one way to think of this song. In a large sense it is about not being able to act on your feelings. The girl (probably a friend of the guy) that the song is about means the world to the guy, but he's unable to express his love in fear of what may happen to their friendship if he does. You are afraid to say anything personal, and even more afraid of not say anything.

then there is a other way. Noel Gallagher have said that it's a song about an imaginary friend who’s going to save you from yourself. and if you look at the lyric that fits in perfectly. He wants a person to help him with his problems but he can't find anyone. He has trouble to talk about he's problems and that's why he wants that persons help. "I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now" I think means that because he can't find anyone ells so he can be the only one that can feel anything about the imaginary person is himself.
"And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding"
The person has it hard to help you, and it says that everything that is hard In life will have some bump in the road on the way there.

so what about the definition of the word "wonderwall"?

A wonderwall i think is a person that you can talk to about everything, that understands you like no one ells, one you can share your feelings and thought to and save you from your problems. A person being there through it all. a perfect person being there through it all, and that person is just always going to be there. A very special person that makes you truly happy in your heart, makes you come alive and free and safe, a safe heaven, from the rest of world when you are with that person. And I'm really happy that I have found one of those persons in my life:)

So this is the Original "Wonderwall" and the music video is good to:)



I came across another version of the song. In the original Liam Gallagher is singing and Noel Gallagher is playing guitar. I found a live version on youtube where Noel Gallagher preforms the song by himself. Noel sings with such passion and it's so beautiful I get chills every time I see it... The two version is both really really good but no version can beat the original even thought this version is really good:)

this can not be...

this morning a person told me something terrible... One of my favourite bands "Oasis" has split up. First I didn't believe it but I took a look at Rollingstone magazines homepage and there was an article saying: "Noel Gallagher Quits Oasis"...

Oasis is a band from Britain formed in 1991 and released their first album in 1994. The Band has an big influence from The Beatles.

So it's true that Oasis has split up for good probably. It was Noel Gallagher one of the two brothers in the band that said that he couldn't work with his brother Liam one more day after an argument before a gig in Paris on Friday night. They cancelled the Paris gig only minutes before the show was going to start saying that the band has split up and was not going to play. the crowd first thought it was a joke until screens at both sides of the stage showed the message “As a result of an altercation within the band, the Oasis gig has been cancelled.”

but this is not the first time this has happened so hopefully this is not the real end but I wouldn’t be surprised if they never played together again...

If this is the end of the Oasis then it is a sad day. Although they maybe never surpassed the likes of the albums “definitely maybe” or “(What's the story) morning glory”, they still produced some fantastic albums that most bands would trade their right arm for.

I think that Oasis is one of the most important band to come out of Britain in the last 25-30 years. It's a sad day for everyone who loves music like I said, Noel is an inspiration to so many people. I think that he is got to be one of the most talented song writers of all time. Not many people that can write as him.

The next few days is going to consist of much Oasis music and guitar playing in my room:) I'm also going to analyse some song the next few days here...

Oasis is always going to be in my heart as one of best bands ever and the biggest influence on British pop/rock and rock & roll music the last 20 years.

The music always ruled with this band...Oasis is going to "Live Forever"

In Flames

I have forgotten all about it,, I'm going to see In Flames the 14 of December.:)It was some guys in my class that they where going to see them, and I was like; yeah why not, and the tickets where kind of cheap.

I have never listen to In Flames so much, but they have some good songs and it can be fun:) just hopping that the crowd will not be to wild, can be hard to stand in the middle of the crowd, and it's a In Flames concert and that don't make it better...

"World of Promises" not a known song but it's really good:) lyrics are nice to. cover of the song with the same name by the Band "Treat" that released it in 1988.



Original of "World of promises" by "Treat", want to have it up here because I think the original is better than "In Flames" version. Love the 80s hard rock style on the song:D



"Come Clarity" - really good alternative new-age metal ballad



Take this life - their most known song, love the chorus:)

"Stairway to Heaven"

in my opinion one of the best songs in history...

so stairway to heaven is a song by a British rock band "Led Zeppelin". The song was written in 1970 and released in 1971.

The song is one of the most known rock and roll songs in history and its the song you think of when people mention "Led Zeppelin"...

The lyrics were not only bold and inspirational, they were unlike anything of their era. "Robert Plant" the lead singer of "Led Zeppelin" said this in an interview "My hand was writing out the words, 'There's a lady is sure, all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven'. I just sat there and looked at them and almost leapt out of my seat." Plant's own explanation of the lyrics was that it "was some cynical aside about a woman getting everything she wanted all the time without giving back any thought or consideration.

No one knows really what the lyrics is about, It's one of those great songs that can mean many different things depending on the person. You put yourself in the lyrics and try to get a sense out of it to interpret the meaning. I my self can see hope n the lyrics.

So I made a little analyse of the lyrics:

To me this song means lots of different things. one is the paths. we can travel on two paths, one the road to heaven and the other the road to hell. our paths change all the time in our own life's. the piper is god, and he wants us to "join him." this song is also about death. the lady is dying. she's buying the stairway with her life. at the beginning, it says that "she's sure all the glitters are gold" this means that she already sees the light, and she's dying. the sign and the song bird are just there because it begins to paint a picture of heaven. the narrator or singer is looking to the west, and "his spirit is crying for leaving" his soul as left already and he has died too. but his soul his remorse full or sad for leaving the world. if we ask the piper, being god will help, sort of like a prayer, and god will help you through an other day. two roads you can go by, and before you die, you can change the road you are currently on. "Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind." this is god calling you, and your death. it comes like a wind, it happens that fast. "as we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls". shadows are tall when the sun is setting, and this is meaning that the sun is setting as we walk down the road, our life's are coming to an end. and the lady from the beginning is in white light, like an angel. "listen very hard the tune will come to you at last." this means everyone will die. we are all as one and to be a rock and not roll is impossible, all of our life's will come to an end. this song as a lot of symbolism in it, I hope you see what I'm saying. the cool thing about symbolism, is there is no wrong or right answer.

The song also has one of the greatest guitar play of all time. "Jimmy Page's" acoustic picking rising into chiming chords, which introduce the solo, a brilliant succession of phrases that steadily moves toward rock & roll ecstasy. Everything is perfect about it, the beautiful start rising in to rock and roll, and the solo is one big music orgasm:D

So when people say that this is not the best Led Zeppelin song and that the people that says it is the best song don't like Led Zeppelin, it's bullshit. If you look at the history of the greatest songs of all time the majority of songs is not close to the music that the band plays, it sticks out from the bands other music.

No matter how many times I listen to it, the song always manages to stop me from whatever I'm doing to just listen. It's truly unbelievable.

"Tears In Heaven"

So "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton, if you haven't heard this one before your missing out big time!

so the story behind this songs is about the pain Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell out of a 53rd-story window in his mother's friend's New York City apartment, on March 20, 1991. Clapton, who arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident was visibly distraught for months afterwards.
-wikipedia

This song really brings beautiful, sad and touching all in one, even tho its a song about his sons death it's so hopeful because when you hear it the lyrics are like saying that no ones gone forever and you're gonna see them again and that they are happy in heaven, no tears i heaven.

he also sings that he wants to go to heaven with his son but he can't stay there because it's not his time to go. And that he must be strong because if he's not time can bring him down and he will not go to heaven when it's time. He knows that he's son is happy in heaven and he will have peace there.

The whole song bring hope for people that have died because it gives you a knowing about that the person that died will have peace i heaven and there will be no Tears In Heaven...

Eric Clapton stopped playing this song live in 2004 because when he plays that song Eric must connect with the feelings that were there when he wrote it because it a big part of preforming that song live. He has forgotten those feeling and he don't want them back particularly...

The perfect song

What is the perfect song?

I think it's a song that really goes into your soul and dance with you. The song takes you away from the real world and away from all your problems and you feel all the love and happiness in the world. The song makes you want to jump up and down, and the song makes you want to shout out your love and happiness and you feel like you are on top of the world. you can never tire of the song, you can listen to the song again and again and each time you listen to it your whole body shivers. The lyrics talk to you and releases your feelings...

thats my image of the perfect song

Open Your Heart

"Open Your Heart" - Europe

I haven't listen to this song for a few months but when i turned on some Europe music today i remembered how beautiful it is...

There are two versions of this song, the first version was on Europe's album - "Wings of Tomorrow" released in 1984 and the second version is on the album - "Out of This World" released in 1984. The differences in the two version is a little change in the lyrics and in the second version there is a better guitar rift and solo, on the second version there was another guitarist also, you can here the differences like i said.

The song is about a relationship with a girl that goes up and down all the time - "Days filled with joy and days filled with sorrow" and he doesn't know if he is going to happy one day or lonely another. And he just want that everything could be like before when the relationship was always wonderful. He wants her to open up and tell him whats wrong, and he don't know if can cope anymore. The he wonders if the time can heal the relationship...

it sounds like a normal love song that anyone can write but I think that there is more to it and the lyric as a whole makes it more beautiful.

Here is the change in lyrics of the last verse

1984: "Oh girl, before I fall... Maybe the sun will continue to shine, maybe the rain will continue to fall, maybe you want to leave me behind, maybe you'll change and give me a call."

1988: "Before we lose it all... Maybe the time has its own way of healing, maybe it dries the tears in your eyes, but never change the way that I'm feeling, only you can answer my cries."

I think that the change they made to the lyrics in the last veers from the first version to the second tighten the lyric because he sing about them and not her.

If you ask me i think that the second version is the best because the little change of lyrics and guitar rifts makes a lot of difference to the song and it becomes more beautiful...

and one final thing about the second version is that after the solo he sings - "open your heart...yeah! let me here you make up your mind" that "Yeah!" he adds makes it so much better somehow, you get a little rush from it and it makes you scream:P it sounds stupid that a little thing like that can do so much but i think that i does so much more:D

sometimes it's the little things that counts...:)

First version - 1984



Second version - 1988

"Some Might Say"

Oasis - "Some Might Say" is an wonderful song, and i love it. I have heard this song many time but the past week i have listen to it a lot because of different reasons...:) and it never gets bad, never.

Noel the lead guitarist and vocalist that wrote the song said that he had no idea what this song is about. it's maybe one of does song that gives images in their songs which would inspire in peoples mind a general meaning connected to the song. A song where the listener defines the meaning through he´s/her´s life.

To me the song reminds me of people who pretend life should be lived in a robotic, well-defined and constructed set of rules. without realizing that well, life is anything but predictable. you could believe you're heading down a certain path and wound up on the wrong road no quicker than with a blink of an eye. it also echoes the fact that because life is so unpredictable, being judgmental of how someone is leading their life is probably the most ridiculous thing one can do.

This song has two massive statements about life that really appeal to me.

"Some might say that sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine"

- you can comfort someone by telling them Good things happen after bad things but what about the man who never has good things happen to him?

secondly.

"Some might say they don't believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell"

- If we don't believe in heaven does this mean we only belive in hell and is that where were going. Tell that to the man who lives in hell. it can also be that the people that don't believe in heaven don't know that there is people in the world that lives in hell. "Go and tell it to the man that lives in hell" can be a man that is living a hard life with no happiness, hell on earth.

"Wind of Change"

"Wind of change" by Scorpions is one of the best power ballads ever and one if my all time favorite songs ever...

The lyrics celebrate the political changes in Eastern Europe at that time – such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the increasing freedom in the communist bloc (which soon led to the fall of the USSR), and the clearly imminent end of the Cold War.

Many listeners of the song who are not acquainted with Moscow are often confused by the meaning of the opening lines of the song, which are:
"I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change"
The Moskva is the name of the river that runs through Moscow (both the city and the river are named identically in Russian), and Gorky Park is the name of an amusement park in Moscow. The Scorpions were inspired to write this song on a visit to Moscow in 1989, and therefore included references to the aforementioned landmarks.

The video to the song shows clips from the fall of the Berlin Wall, other political thing that have happen through history and other moments of injustice through history... many band have done this kinds of videos to their song but i think that "Wind of Change" is the best video that follows the message of the song and the subject.

When the intro starts it always send shivers down my spine and through my body, it so quite and peaceful and then when the the singer starts to sing it's so beautiful and just amazing.

Every little thing about this song is wonderful, from the intro to the guitar solo, to the chorus, to the verses, to bridge and to the ending.

Every time I listen to this song I just let everything go and disappear from the world and nothing can bring me down in that moment...

I love music

I love music
it is my essence
It determining what I am and is changing constantly
with me.
For me the music is sacred,
it is my belief,
it gets my respect and honour.
I learn from the musicians I love,
those who care about what they play,
what they say
how the song can touch your innermost and get
your inner being to shudder
how the text can make you cry
how the chords can change the world.
With music as diverse and dedicated
we need never despair after a poem,
a text,
a word,
a melody,
a chord
or a song to grow by.

Volbeat

Volbeat is a metal band from Denmark that They play a fusion of early rock 'n' roll, heavy metal and rockabilly. They are inspired by the rock 'n' roll legends Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.

Johnny Cash inspired metal can only sound good, and it does. I love it:) The singer has a great voice and it fits in with the music.

Volbeat - "Sad man's Tongue"



Volbeat - "A Gardens Tale"



Volbeat - "I Only Want to Be with You" cover of Dusty Springfield's song released in 1963.



Volbeat - "Still Counting"



Volbeat - "A Moment Forever"

The Sounds

I fucking love "The Sounds"... this band play som new wave with a little mix of punk/pop.

so i saw them yesterday at "tivolirock", it was the second time i have seen them and they where awesome, really good performance:) i couldn't stand still:P

so they have done some really good song i the past on 3 albums:

2002 - "Living in america"

On the one hand, the Sounds recycle punk, New Wave, disco, and ladle it on thick with the cheesy keyboards. And the sound isn’t too sleek or polished, either, so that, despite the cheesy keyboards, the effect is like hearing them, keyboards and all, at a clammy, sweaty club. Considering all the bands trying for the same feel these days, the Sounds do a really bouncing, bopping, rocking pastiche of 1983.

2006 - dying to say this to you"

The group starts with a basic new wave sound—jaunty ‘80s keyboard lines and song sketches that could have turned into bad hair retreads. The Sounds’ success on this album comes with the way they rough up these songs for the recordings, primarily by using slightly overdriven guitar to add rowdier hooks. The combination splits the difference between pristine studio musicians and unwashed garage rockers.

2009 - "Crossing the Rubicon"

Vibrant and swelling with color, The Sounds’ Crossing the Rubicon is just the sort of triumphant, optimistic fare for making summer nights on the town all the more exciting.

This, their third album, functions much in the same way as their other albums do. The grand sense of effective guitar, the rock-solid synth-pop slither, and the deep anthem drive cruises through every single track while vocalist Maja Ivarsson energetically runs through her paces.

so some of "the Sounds" biggest hits is:

- "Living in America"
- "Song with a Mission"
- "Tony the Beat"
- "Painted by Numbers"
- "Night after Night"

but i love all their songs:P

"Living in America"



"Painted by Numbers"



"Tony the Beat"

Michael Jackson

So the king of pop i dead... I decided to do a album review of his most popular album:"Thriller"

"Off the Wall" his first solo album was a massive success, spawning four Top Ten hits (two of them number ones), but nothing could have prepared Michael Jackson for Thriller. Nobody could have prepared anybody for the success of Thriller, since the magnitude of its success was simply unimaginable.

an album that sold 40 million copies in its initial chart run, with seven of its nine tracks reaching the Top Ten (for the record, the terrific "Baby Be Mine" and the pretty good ballad "The Lady in My Life" are not like the others). This was a record that had something for everybody, building on the basic blueprint of Off the Wall by adding harder funk, hard rock, softer ballads, and smoother soul.

Expanding the approach to have something for every audience. That alone would have given the album a good shot at a huge audience, but it also arrived precisely when MTV was reaching its ascendancy, and Jackson helped the network by being not just its first superstar, but first black star as much as the network helped him.

This all would have made it a success (and its success, in turn, served as a new standard for success), but it stayed on the charts, turning out singles, for nearly two years because it was really, really good. True, it wasn't as tight as Off the Wall -- and the ridiculous, late-night house-of-horrors title track is the prime culprit, arriving in the middle of the record and sucking out its momentum -- but those one or two cuts don't detract from a phenomenal set of music.

It's calculated, to be sure, but the chutzpah of those calculations (before this, nobody would even have thought to bring in metal virtuoso Eddie Van Halen to play on a disco cut) is outdone by their success. This is where a song as gentle and lovely as "Human Nature" coexists comfortably with the tough, scared "Beat It," the sweet schmaltz of the Paul McCartney duet "The Girl Is Mine," and the frizzy funk of "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)." And, although this is an undeniably fun record, the paranoia is already creeping in, manifesting itself in the record's two best songs: "Billie Jean," where a woman claims Michael is the father of her child, and the delirious "Wanna Be Startin' Something," the freshest funk on the album, but the most claustrophobic, scariest track Jackson ever recorded.

These give the record its anchor and are part of the reason why the record is more than just a phenomenon. The other reason, of course, is that much of this is just simply great music.

5/5 :D

Michael Jackson

R.I.P Michael Jackson...king of pop and you will always live in our hearts....

im going to write more about him latter on....

Metaltown

Im back from metaltown,,, it was fucking awsome..

Rise Against - Hero of War

I think this song is incredible. What I need to know is how did they know how to write with such in-depth experience of the situations they speak of? If anything this song is not so much as an eye opener...if it is then please follow my former instructions with regards to pulling your head out... these things always happen in war. Is it a real shock... that is why we teach history. So lest we forget we are doomed to repeat again and again....it is obvious that a single generation gap is all that is required to forget the horrors of war in America. This generation is shocked by what this war has dealt upon the world and their fellow citizens and innocent people effected by the war... yet ask anyone from the Vietnam era and they will tell you that this is not all the different than the war in south east Asia during the 60's & early 70's. So why do we not teach this next generation the horrors of Vietnam & The War in Iraq? Lets teach them the real horrors of the war and the truth and the ugliness of the war. This way we might be able to break the ugly chain of war that keeps creeping up every second generation or so?

I think perhaps the most moving part of this song is ‘she collapsed with a flag in her hand, a flag white as snow’. The white flag, of course a symbol of surrender, also has a sense of purity and innocence about it. The fact that a woman is carrying the flag further portrays this point, so in a sense, this soldier has not only killed the messenger of peace but peace itself. Quite an emotive song and certainly presents a confronting theme about some aspects of war but more so the sarcastic undertones of the glorification of war by the driving force of soldiers to become heroes.

The songs has an music video but i chose to not show it first because i think that the video let the song down though.. better to listen to the lyrics and imagine a video in your head, first listen to the song and lyrics then if you want you can see the music video to...

Rock & Roll Queen

love this song preformed by "The Subways".

the howl Indie rock/alternative rock genre fit this band really nice:)love the backdrop of punk guitar riffs and sweet harmonies.

Paramore

Paramore is an awesome band..:D love them

The band isn't just a short pop-punk girl with red hair and a spunky attitude. Their music is like them, it's aged differently. It's sped up, and slowed down. It's emo without being whiny, or bratty. Almost a very literal anti-Avril Lavigne.

The style is i think emo and a bit of pop-rock/power pop, if you compare their two albums: "all we know is falling" and "Riot!", "All we know is falling"has an arguably more formulaic pop-punk sound that was delivered particularly well and the combination of the two had created a refined rock infused pop/punk album.

and then if you look at the second album "Riot!" is exploring a diverse range of styles, however, not straying far from their signature sound.

It’s unreal how amazing how all Paramores lyrics sounds so amazingly when Hayley sings them. Her voice is so perfect. love it<3

it's hard to chose witch songs to put up here but with a little variety from both albums it should go...:D

"Misery Business" my favorite song



"Pressure"(acoustic) love her voice



"Hallelujah" Everything about it makes me think about life. Love the lyrics<3



"Here we go again" awesome song

Jimi Hendrix

so for a change i will write i english... :)

so Jimi Hendrix is my favorite guitarist of all time i think that Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist ever.

Jimi Hendrix was one of rock's few true originals. He was one of the most innovative and influential rock guitarists of the late '60s. Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential musicians in music history.

Jimi Hendrix band The Jimi Hendrix Experience's first hit single was "Hey Joe." It spent ten weeks on the UK charts, reaching as high as spot No. 6 in early 1967. The debut single was quickly followed by the release of the full-length album Are You Experienced, a musical CD featuring sounds of generations to come. Are You Experienced has remained one of the most popular rock albums of all time, featuring tracks like "Purple Haze," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Foxey Lady," "Fire," and "Are You Experienced?"

A left-hander who took a right-handed Fender Stratocaster and played it upside down, Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before Hendrix had experimented with feedback and distortion, but he turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began. But while he unleashed noise--and such classic hard-rock riffs as "Purple Haze," "Foxy Lady," and "Crosstown Traffic"--with uncanny mastery, Hendrix also created such tender ballads as "The Wind Cries Mary," the oft-covered "Little Wing," and "Angel," and haunting blues recordings such as "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile." Although Hendrix did not consider himself a good singer, his vocals were nearly as wide-ranging, intimate, and evocative as his guitar playing.

I saw a program on TV yesterday that was about guitar heroes in history of rock and roll. And when Pete Townshead (guitarist in the band "The Who") talk about Jimi he said that he had contacted Eric Clapton (one of the greatest guitarist of all time) and ask if he wanted to go to a movie. The thing was that the two had never meet before. Eric was surprised but accepted and then in the cinema Pete Townshead said to Eric:" I have just seen a man that is going to but us out of business."And he was talking about Jimi Hendrix.

The extraordinary performances, recording, and lyrics of James Marshall Hendrix have made him impossible to forget. This American rock music guitarist made a legendary mark not only in
the history of rock 'n' roll but also on the pop culture as a whole. With unique techniques never seen before and blatant sex-related performances on stage, he became one of the most influential music figures of the 60s.

Fortunately, the tragic death of this young man came after rather than before he had contributed so much to the rock 'n' roll era of the 60s. Not only did he inspire black musicians to persevere in their careers, but he also influenced the entire pop culture with his unprecedented music and stunning performances. In the eyes of many Americans, the legendary rock music guitarist Jimi Hendrix will live on forever.

If you haven't heard this man play the guitar then something is wrong with you. When you hear Jimi Hendrix its like one big music orgasm. :D

My favorit song - "All along the watchtower"



"purple haze" wonderful guitar sounds:D



"Woodoo Child"



"The wind cries Mary" A really nice guitar ballad:D
