It's one of those days again, when music is your only friend...

The Deadlies

Listen up folks, got a hot new band for ya guys! These guys definitely know what they're doing, trust me. With the singer's raspy voice, the guitarist's energic riffs and the amazing rythm by the bassist and drummer, an edgy rock sound is created. Personally, it reminds me of the real old school punk-rock. Although I wouldn't classify them as old school punk-rock. But they remind me of it! I'll tell ya this much; if you like that rough kind of rock, CHECK THESE GUYS OUT! On their homepage you can find the sites they're registered with, for example their Twitter account.

The Soundtrack of My Life

21 tracks that all tell a little something about my life so far. They come in the order of where the first one is the first song that I've found a true connection with. It was actually at that moment when I truly found music. It's when I realized how much it means to me. Due to some unpleasant stuff that has happened to me in my life I found music to be very comforting and at one point, music was really the only thing I could trust to always be there for me. Note the lyrics in every single one of these songs, for they all mean a lot to me. Either metaphorically or literally.

  1. Papa Roach - Scars
  2. Good Charlotte -  The Anthem
  3. One Republic - Stop and Stare
  4. Linkin Park - Numb
  5. Linkin Park - Crawling
  6. Good Charlotte - Hold On
  7. Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me
  8. The Fray - How To Save a Life
  9.  Breaking Benjamin - Diary of Jane
  10. Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
  11. Flyleaf - All Around me
  12. Good Charlotte - Where Would We be Now
  13. Blue October - 18th Floor Balcony 
  14. Goo Goo Doll - Iris
  15. Papa Roach - Reckless
  16. Jesse McCartney - It's Over
  17. Adam Lambert - Can't Let You Go
  18. Adam Lambert - Sleepwalker
  19. Tyler Hilton - Our Time
  20. Papa Roach - Carry Me
  21. Papa Roach - To Be Loved

While I was putting this list together, I had tears in my eyes. That should tell you how much these songs mean to me. They all share one thing: great meaning. All of these songs tell a story. It's that story that I've captured and twisted into my own life. As far as I'm concerned, these songs could all be written about or by me. I'm sure we all have songs like these. It took a great amount of willpower and control to do this list. They all opened up some fresh, and not-so-fresh wounds in me. Things that I've wanted to leave behind came rushing back up to the surface. Now I dare you, make a list of your own. And see what feelings that list brings you, you might be surprised.

Tyler Hilton

So let me tell you about this guy...

You might recognize him from the series One Tree Hill as Chris Keller, a singer/songwriter. But the fact is, he actually IS a singer/songwriter. And a damn talented one as well! The 27 year old singer and actor from Palm Springs, CA has appeared in a few movies with some smaller parts, but he has said that he wants to focus on his music.

I absolutely LOVE the songs he sings, his voice is so sweet and raspy and GORGEOUS! As well as he is ;)
TJ (Tylor James Hilton) has recorded two albums, of which my favorite is The Tracks of Tyler Hilton, his second album. His first album is self-named, and also absolutely amazing! He's also recorded two EP's, Better on Beachwood and Ladies and Gentlemen.

Piano thingy

Yesterday I videotaped one of the members of Nation Attacks Enemy, while he was playing an improvised "Piano thingy". It's really good, very beautiful. It reminds me of Muse's Bliss, but with a Middle Eastern tone. Check it out here! Check out their other stuff while you're at it!
