Lifehouse - From Where You Are

Can't remember how I found this song, but it's rather a beautiful one. The content can be adapted to any situation, and in this case, it's about safe driving. It's important to take care of the ones that matter, otherwise it might be too late to show how much you care. What catches my attention is the power of the song with the fewest amount of words that have to be sung. Shows how much an emotion can take out of a person, that it leaves you speechless. I am glad that they released this song, it is a strong single, and it best displays their style of music.

Concert Review: The Honeymoon Tour

It's been months ever since I heard that this next act was coming to town, and not even a final exam would stop me from coming to this concert. Words cannot state how satisfied I was to see the one and only, Ariana Grande. Without further adieu, let's get into it!

Heart could not contain the excitement!

One More Girl - Maybe

Some times, I get tired of listening to the same radio stations due to its repetitiveness. While in the car one time, I decided to give the Country station a try, and this little ditty came on the air. Sure, it's a typical song about how right it feels to be with this person even though it's wrong, but there are times when you got to take chance to know what it's all about. There is this twang that I don't hear on the stations I normally tune in, and it's nice to have a change that day. The Canadian duo have a number of songs released, but I never got into them quite like this one.

Concert Review: Game Of Tones

Haven't been to many school performances during my university life, but this one blew my expectations. It may only have been the second time that I attended such an event, and I wish that I have seen more... Let's review the UBC A Capella Concert.

Brace yourselves, catchy tunes are coming

Nine Inch Nails - Demon Seed

Maybe it's just me, but it sounds like there is a sample of the James Bond theme (but I think it's the tempo more than anything). For a Rock song, I find this to be very tamed, considering the song's title. What I enjoy most about the song is the subtle lyrics, with no chorus, only the guitar strumming. Also, there is a oddly positive vibe coming from this, which caught me off guard, with a message about releasing the inner freak. I would say that it's positive because they are no longer taking sorry excuses from holding back. Consider this breaking free from the norm.

AMO - Livin' It Up

Did I even play a video game when I first heard this song? I did do some strange things last year, so who knows... Anyways, back to the song. This is essentially something I would have listened to in my teenage days (that's 10 years ago!) It's got everything from the cringe-worthy lyrics that would attract the age demographic to that Disney Channel-esque ear worm that can never escape your head. To say it's a ripoff of another song would be fair, however I can't think of a song that is the essence of my 14-year old self. Nostalgia, but with a different point of view. Why not?

Kezwik ft Mel Presson - Trigger

I love it when songs add a unique twist to their singles, especially when that twist ends up being a Classical one. I believe I heard this when I was watching an episode of So You Think You Can Dance, and this came out to a routine that was like no other. Although I do believe that vocals could be stronger, I must say that this Dubstep piece is rather light compared to what one would hear in the genre. Not necessarily a song that I would normally listen to, but I find it to be a solid choice for the gym, working out on that damn fitness thing that's gotten everyone to get into shape.
