Cover Songs...

So... if you don't know what a Cover Song is, its pretty much a song an artist already has out and another artist covers it, (as in sings the same song) and either uploads it on their http://www.purevolume.com/ and/or their Myspace band page. Some of my favorite cover songs are:
   SONG               BAND WHO COVERED          ORIGINAL BAND
- Whatever You Like, Anya Marina, T.I
- The Sweetest Girl, The Ready Set, Wyclef Jean featuring Akon, Lil Wayne, and Niia
- Yesterday, Never Shout Never, The Beatles
- Paper Planes, Freshman 15, MIA
- Careless Whisper, Alex Gaskarth, 3OH!3 and Juliet Simms,George Michaels
These are just some of the many great cover songs out there. So for now, every post that has to do with music, I'm going to match my music player to the artist(s) that I'm talking about. I feel this will be a faster and easier for you guys to listen to their music. This week will be cover songs that I feel you might like. So listen to the music, and hey, you might find a new favorite band or song. :)
Thanks!!

Thoughts.

So lately I've been thinking a lot about lyrics and music. A few days ago I was looking at lyrics to a song and I didn't know who the band was nor have I ever heard this song, so I was reading the lyrics and I mean they were really good and touching. Long story short, I went and searched the song on You Tube and it was like, I don't know, like it was just really bad screamo song. I'm not going to mention the bands name because, well that would be kinda rude and very unprofessional. Ha-ha. I ended up thinking how lyrics are are really the unimportant to a song. Well not always, what I mean is that most people like a song because of its beat or just because they like it. There's a band that has really strong lyrics and I just love them. The Bands is, The Scene Aesthetic. They sing this one song, "Humans" and the lyrics are like so beautiful. Here's the link if your interested in checking that out. http://www.metrolyrics.com/humans-lyrics-the-scene-aesthetic.html

Lately Never Shout Never has been writing songs of either personal life experiences or poetry.
I think that's really cool, because having such great lyrics in a song make that great song so much
better. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendId=43428902
If your interested in looking at some of those lyrics there's the link for that. ^^^
Also here's the link for 2 of the poems he's written. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=43428902&albumId=2658980
If you don't know Christofer Drew (Never Shout Never) that much, he's really into peace, making the
world a better place and love. So you might notice that in some of his music or poems he talks a lot about
that kind of stuff. I really hope you check some of Never Shout Never lyrics/ poems out, he's truly amazing
and I think you'll really enjoy his special talent that he shares with the world.
