Joe Brooks - These Broken Hands Of Mine

Image
     She will always be thought and talked sweetly of. Compete all you want with those surrounding her, she won't be the one who bandages those hands of yours. She will be the one who realizes the beauty of scarred hands and the hardship they went through. And maybe, just maybe you will get a chance. Here comes These Broken Hands Of Mine .

Dido - White Flag

Image
     On Christmas day, emotions are sure to run high. To match that high, one of Dido's seems to be a snug fit. Even without much pump from background sounds, she still manages to make people swell during the chorus. This song is what Dido is known for. This is White Flag .

Gorillaz - Feel Good INC

Image
      I just needed reconfirmation and I think I had that. More than enough of that. And now with all of that crap gone down the drain, I feel good. I feel new and I feel focused. I'll quietly exit with  Feel Good . Download URL: Feel Good download (PS Right click and 'Save Link')

Joe Brooks - Six String Soldier

Image
     This upcoming tune just sounds so funky. It is sure to be a tide-turner! So if you are having a bad day, be prepared for a great one! This is  Six String Soldier . Download URL: Six String Soldier download ( PS Right-click and 'save link')

John Lennon - Imagine

Image
     This is one of my personal favorites, cause it just sounds so smooth and soothing. It has this great sense of what is morally right, embedded inside it. And also what more could be done to make this world a better place. This is  Imagine . Download URL: Imagine Download ( PS Right-click and 'save link')

Ed Sheeran Ft. Mikill Pane - Little Lady

Image
     Prostitution is a big no-no. But for some, it's the only way to make ends meet. In this next one, Ed Sheeran and Mikill Pane sheds some light on this. Tuning in the time line before she dies, Mikill Pane bars along Ed Sheeran's 'A Team'. This is Little Lady . Download URL: Little Lady Download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

Icona Pop - All Night

Image
    Finally. I finally found a song that defines this site and its purpose. I want every single listeners to have this sense of enlightenment every time they hear our picks. I want everyone to be on euphoria. To make everyone's lawn seem greener, to make everyone's day a lil' bit brighter and to discover this wonderful gift that is music, together, that's our goal. Our flagship song shall be All Night by Icona Pop, until a better substitute is found. Download URL: All Night download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

The Maine- Take Me Dancing, The Maine- These Four Words

Image
I don’t claim to be an all around fan of The Maine but I assure you that they are probably one of the best bands to listen to out there. Period. Maybe it is because they have transitioned so much from the typical pop-punk group to being a group that produces wonderful songs that relate to all of us, in one way or another. Or that could just be my sixteen year old fangirl self exaggerating again. Either ways, here are two songs that I strongly suggest all of you to listen to because damn, my heartstrings are all wrung up due to it. Moreover- take caution, because they are slower than you might expect them to be. This is Take Me Dancing  and These Four Words .

Oasis - Slide Away

Image
     See that kid over there? Yes, him. He seems happy, cheerful and content with his life. But truth be told, he only SEEMS that way. It's just his way of masking his mistakes. Why is he so secretive? Cause he knows that not a single one of you little fuckers can comprehend his pain, that he will only dumb fold everyone in this vast crowd of people. He looks at the boy whom everyone calls an 'Emo' and laughs. He? An emo? He is a million years behind him, he is a million years behind suicidal thoughts. He is a billion years behind testing it himself. He knows he has a problem. He just doesn't know what it is. To always feel betrayed and to always feel hurt. Now will you take him seriously if he told you he is going to kill himself? He just wants to Slide Away . The whole world can fuck off.

Frank Ocean - Swim Good

Image
     Try not to close the tab before the chorus, give this song a chance. Though there is a weird awkward tune to it, it somehow sounds really good. I guess your liking really depends on your music taste for this one. This is Swim Good . Download URL: Swim Good download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

Ed Sheeran - Be Like You

Image
     A man is extremely dedicated to someone, when they are always trying to be understanding. Their love can never be wronged. Their love is flawless. This leaves the man as vulnerable as a twig. Ed Sheeran brings this theory to a whole new dimension by fitting himself into her dress to try in a attempt to feel her bitterness. It reminds me of you and therefore, Be Like You is temporarily my new shelter. My new favorite. Download URL: Be Like You download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

Nabiha - Ask Yourself

Image
     Don't mind the gap, it isn't wholesome. It feels as if the world's taste buds caught itself taking a vacation. While bad music gain a billion views over night, real artists such as Nabiha struggles to even reach the half million mark. It's clear how far our hearing had congress since Beethoven's time. This next piece is  Ask Yourself . Download URL: Ask Yourself download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

Adele - Make You Feel My Love

Image
      You know an artist is being serious when they have the piano played in the background. This is Adele in one of those zones. Her voice is just so soothing. This is  Make You Feel My Love . Download URL: Make You Feel My Love download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

Christina Grimmie - Tell My Mama

Image
     Youtube 'Just A Dream' hit singer, Christina Grimmie took off loads of mascara and damn is she good or what? Her slightly husky voice is superbly beautiful and it pairs the tune perfectly. This is Tell My Mama . Download URL: Tell My Mama download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

Avalanche City - Love Love Love

Image
      Oh how lovely this song truly is, when it has all the things you want to say. I heard your heart said love love love. I heard your heart said love love love. I heard your heart said love love love. I heard your heart said love love love. I heard your heart said love love love. I heard your heart said love love love. I heard your heart said love love love. I heard your heart said love love love. Thus this shall be named Love Love Love . Download URL: Love Love Love download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

Cash Cash feat Bebe Rexha - Take Me Home (Fareoh Remix)

Image
This is a tad bit different from all the other tracks on here. One reason being that it’s progressive house. Another reason being that this might not be one of the best ones (for those who know their stuff about this sort of genre) out there, but it has been running through my head for the past three days. Aside from that, the built up of this song is quite interesting, although the drops feel like they are out of key + the anti-climax of the song is short-lived and hence, very disappointing.  Hopefully you guys would give it a chance, this is Take Me Home URL: Take Me Home Fareoh Remix  

Awolnation - Sail

Image
     Head been down in the drain lately, but you just can't seem to scream your heart out for the whole world to even care? Don't worry, I've got you covered. This is the most used background music for basketball mix tapes. It feels as though this mix is telling you to go through life without a spell check. That life is full of mistakes and that it's unavoidable. And that is the sole reason why we are constantly able to refine ourselves, just cause mistakes are unavoidable. This is  Sail .

Ed Sheeran - Lego House

Image
     This is the very first Ed Sheeran song that I had ever heard. This is how he shaped his own perception for me. It is incredibly difficult for me to describe this wonderful and glorious song. Love it way too much to rate it. There is just too much to say. Every time I hear it, it reminds of the high's of my life. AND FYI RUPERT GRINT IS IN THE MUSIC VIDEO. I was a very big fan of Harry Potter when I first saw the music video and I went 'WHAT THE FUCK? ACCIO SPECTACLES!' (If you get what I meant). And from that day on wards, I became both Harry Potter and Ed Sheeran's biggest fan. This is indefinitely  Lego House . Download URL:  Lego House download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

Ewan Phillips - Orbit

Image
     Artists are most original when they start out. This next song is from one of those artists. His songs are truly a joy to listen to. Never have I heard a song which is both so emotionally wrecking and happy at the same time as this one. Better catch him before he goes mainstream. This is  Orbit .

The Weeknd - Wicked Games

Image
This track is a cover of The Weeknd’s Wicked Games by Canadian artist: BĂ©atrice Martin, better known as CÅ“ur de pirate (French for pirate heart). In it, her beautiful vocals do it justice by tuning it down to a completely raw version of the original song.  Both tracks are great, but my preference ultimately boiled to hers. Have a listen.  Download U.R.L :  Wicked Games (Cover)- The Weeknd (P.S: right-click and 'save-link') 

Biffy Clyro - Opposite

Image
     Its strength lies in its vulnerability. Just when you least expect it to drop, it screws you over and amazes you. The acoustic version of this song is so much better than it's music video version. This is a real artist with a real talent. This is  Opposite . Download URL: Opposite download (PS Right-click and 'save link')

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

Image
     On some days, you feel oblivious to the world. You have a feeling that everyone will leave you in the end. You are just a pile of shit, trampled over and over again. They call you, oh they do, just cause they need you. Once you are done with, you suddenly disappear from their world again. This is the saddest song I have. This is  Hurt .

Foals - Late Night

Image
     For moments of sudden realizations and tipping points. Placed on a sound graph and analyzed, it might look grey and old, but in reality it's a fulfilling song. It just sounds so flowy and slow. This is  Late Night . Download URL: Late Night download

Michael Bolton - When A Man Loves A Woman

Image
     Michael Bolton covers a song of Percy Sledge. This is just so beautiful and smooth. It releases those butterflies into your stomach, so that you feel that distinct tingling sensation. If you had ever fallen hard for someone, this should be relatable. This is  When A Man Loves A Woman .

The Mowgli's - San Francisco

Image
I don't know about you but I live for those God-forbid amazing moments that only come up every once in a while just to let you know that great things and people still exist. The disadvantage of it is that it comes and goes just as fast.  San Francisco  represents just that. I'm not sure how but it does, with it's messy climax and lyrics that don't make sense.

Hu Xia - Those Years

Image
     As many of you may have already known, I am not a big fan of Chinese songs. This next one is one of the few Chinese songs that I would actually listen over and over again repeatedly. It will bring you to a special place with a special someone, back when everything was old and the authenticity of love was much stronger. You recall her in her old retro school uniform, the laughs you shared, the secrets you both kept and that amount of innocence is more than enough to ignite that love spark in you. This song is also the OST of the famed love movie, 'You are the apple of my eye'. I am seriously in love with both the movie and the song. This is Those Years . Download URL: Those Years download (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Ellie Goulding - The Writer

Image
     I can't fully express how much I love this song. It's so expressive, yet so catchy. Hook this up on a decent sub-woofer and you will be dancing funny. This is The Writer . Download URL: The Writer download (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Amy Stroup & Trent Dabbs - Forgiving Myself

Image
     Their chorus isn't as high as you would expect it to be, causing a wee bit of disappointment there. Other than that, the song is just wonderful. It's so tender and soft. A song with listeners at two ends of a spectrum, you either love it or get annoyed with the bore. This is Forgiving Myself . Download URL: Forgiving Myself download (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Matisyahu - Live Like A Warrior

Image
     First off, this next song is going to break your 30-day replay virginity. Good luck not getting addicted to this one. It sounds so good and has such an amazing feel to it. A good Jamaican kind of feel. This is Live Like A Warrior by Matisyahu. Download URL: Live Like A Warrior download (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men

Image
      There is something addictive about this next one. It's somewhat catchy, but not so much for a replay plox to occur. An oldie pop for all those papa and mama. Have a nice night with this one. This one is It's Raining Men . Download URL: It's Raining Men download

Twenty One Pilots - House of Gold

Image
     A tracks that represents rebirth. Another chance to tackle every opportunity that you have ever came faced. It's definitely repetitive, a good repetition of the ukelele. This is House Of Gold . Download URL: House Of Gold download (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Ellie Goulding - Your Song

Image
     This one is a tad-bit different from what she usually sings. It is more acoustic and classy, less pop and beat. I can't help but imagine that this song was written for Ed Sheeran, her former guy. This is Your Song . Download URL: Your Song download (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Twenty One Pilots - Guns For Hands

Image
     People often ask the style of my music sense. What genre is is? It is rock? Is it pop? Do you like songs with auto-tune or do you like it acoustic? I had always avoided these type of questions cause when I like a tune, I like it. I'm not genre biased and thus, I couldn't answer them most of the time. It's like asking how much milk and sugar you place into your morning mug of coffee down to the milligrams. But I had finally found the song that describes my genre. It's basically a mix of everything, a little bloating, a little rap. This is Guns For Hands . Download URL: Guns For Hands download (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Gabrielle Aplin - Please Don't Say You Love Me

Image
      Ever had a best friend and all of a sudden they want to knot up, just as you guys get closer? No? Well, this is what this song is about, it's all about friend zoning someone. You don't want to end a precious friendship, but you also don't wanna start a relationship. That's sad. This is Please Don't Say You Love Me . Download URL: Please Don't Say You love Me download (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Twenty One Pilots - Holding On To You

Image
     Screw the hiatus crap. Ever felt like you were so close to something and just as the tips of your fingers nears, it disappears? And that just puts you out for days. With you having a sense of being unappreciated. They being there only when they need you. Your worth is equivalent to that of the dusts underneath your bed, when their friends are around. This next one is from Twenty One Pilots. I don't really know what to think of this song. It may sound like a feel good song at first, but then he cuts it off before peaking, there is no climax. So it is a 'hate it' or 'love it' song. For me though, I quite like it. I love the things he is singing about along with his crazy actions, if you did choose to watch any of his live performances. This is Holding On To You . Download URL: Holding On To You download (PS: Right-click and 'save link')
     Sorry for not being quite as active, guys. I know it is a lame excuse, but our examinations are edging closer, looming overhead. So currently, we are on a hiatus :)

Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2U

Image
     Here is SinĂ©ad O'Connor, a beautiful women with a strong belief in enforcing rights for all women. Often controversial, she had even clashed with Beyonce, who once 'wasn't sending a good message to women' with her latest album at the time, 'Erotica'. Though she may be Irish, there isn't a hint of that anywhere in this song. I just love how soft and elegant her voice is. This is Nothing Compares 2U .

Bob Marley- Don't Worry,Be Happy

Image
Sometimes you have those days where a track can instantly change how you go about your day. This is one of those songs. As the title suggests, if you're dealing with a few problems or obstacles lately, take a step back and relax for a bit. A chill pill never hurt anyone. This is  Don't Worry, Be Happy  by Bob Marley. Download U.R.L:  Don't Worry, Be Happy (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Haley Reinhart - Undone

Image
Third runner up of American Idol (10th Season), Haley Reinhart has her whole life ahead of her. Although lately she has been under the radar, there's no doubt this singer will do wonders for the jazz/blues/soul world. With that in mind, I still haven't had the chance to meet anyone who could actually match up to her. This is  Undone . Download U.R.L:  Undone by Haley Reinhart (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Ariana Grande ft Nathan Sykes - Almost Is Never Enough

Image
Before you scroll up, I beg you to bear with me and take a chance on this song. Seriously. This girl can sing . She's basically as quoted by a few people: the lovechild of Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. Either ways, that sounds horrible, right? But she makes it sound bearable. She won't overdo on the high notes and she'll still make it sound as soulful as it can get. Along with The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, this is  Almost Is Never Enough . Here's a tip, focus on the vocals and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Download U.R.L:  Almost Is Never Enough (PS: Right-click and 'save link')

Jason Derulo - The Other Side

Image
     Here is another feel good song for you guys! This time it is from Jason Derulo. Yes, it is somewhat different from the rest. I rarely listen to song with that has loaded itself with auto tune, but heck, this one is actually good. Here is The Other Side .

Avicii ft. Flo Rida - Good Feeling remix

Image
     You can't listen to love songs all day, buddy. That's the fastest way for you to kill yourself. Time for an upbeat start to a wonderful day/night, depending on where you live. This is a song packed with an instant dose of happiness. Here is a remix of Good Feeling .

Lorde - Royals

Image
     In this song, the lyrics are long and sustaining. They have to sing it hard, cause the background sound is pretty low. Awesome song nonetheless. Acapella all the way to the banks. This is Royals by LORDE. Download URL: Royals download (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Spirited Away - One Summer's Day

Image
     It is the OST of the famed Japanese animated movie, Spirited Away. Though this song has only instrumental sounds, you can feel and understand it by its hummings. There is a magical and mystical feel grasp in it. I loved the movie and I have the exact same feeling for this piece. This is One Summer's Day .

The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition

Image
     This song is barely noisy, on the edge anyways. Just like the time spent in balancing between the ounces of sugar and tea. You can basically wander away with your thoughts in this. Perfect for when you are visiting a new place. Could be your new apartment, a new dream or a foreign country. The whole song is truly a joy to listen to. This is Sweet Disposition . Download URL: Sweet Disposition download (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Ed Sheeran - Skinny Love

Image
     Yes, this is another song from Ed Sheeran. A cover, actually. You are all probably sick of him by now, but heck, if it wasn't good I wouldn't even be posting this. Bear with me. The original singer is Bon Iver. Listen to Ed sing a different song such as this one. He adapts so well with that high husky voice of his. The three best covers for this song in my opinion is from Bon Iver himself, Ed Sheeran and Cameron Mitchelle. This is Skinny Love . Download URL: Skinny Love download (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

King Harvest- Dancing In The Moonlight (Toploader Version)

Image
Literally grew up listening to this song on the radio, and even now it still gives me goosebumps and just makes me want to dance it all out. Embarrassing but if a song this happy gives the audience the want to do just that, how bad can it be? This is Toploader's version of the 1972 electro-pop-rock track,  Dancing In The Moonlight . Download URL:  King Harvest- Dancing In The Moonlight (Toploader Version) (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

All Time Low- Therapy

Image
If you have not heard of this amazing band at all, I reckon you've been living under a rock this whole time and you should probably just crawl back and not listen to this eargasmic masterpiece. This amazing band has a similar genre to The Maine and You Me At Six so it'll give you a sense of what to expect. This track is a bit slow though compared to the usual upbeat songs they produce, but it slowly builds up and just like the rest, it'd have you singing your heart out in no time. Download URL:  Therapy - All time Low                                                                         (P.S Right-click and save link)

AWOLNATION- Sail

Image
Kind of quiet + kind of loud. This song should represent how it feels like to be in the mind of someone who suffers from ADD or ADHD. Or just someone who is feeling very bitter or angry about feeling like an outcast. It may not be how you'd think it should be but that's the whole point. Download URL:  Sail by AWOLNATION (P.S Right-click and 'save link')

Sum 41 - The Hell Song

Image
     Here's an introduction to Sum 41. An extremely good band, whose music are nice to hear and their messages are of good-nature. Their tunes are also often the translation and summary of lives, making it easily understandable. This is The Hell Song . Caution: Addiction is unavoidable.

AC/DC - TNT

Image
     A tribute to all the PS1 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4' fans out there. The game came out in the year 2002. Grinding those boards for hours with this tune in the background is often a childhood memory for most. The music track of the game is the more interesting part of the whole thing. Back then, these songs were gold. Nobody had a MP3 back then, so we'd just turn on the game just to listen to the tracks. You can almost guess the age of this song, as they had 'colored t.v. screens' as a part of the lyrics. Ancient. This is TNT from AC/DC. Download URL: TNT download (P.S Right-click and 'save link')
