3 Doors Down - One Light

I think it doesn't matter what 3 Doors Down does, I would still like it. I think with some bands it's good that even through the years they have stayed with the same style which is definitely the case for 3DD. But when it's good, why mess with it, right? So please behold their latest video!

Passenger - Hearts on Fire (feat. Ed Sheeran)

If you put two of my favorites together you get this perfection. I'm seriously in lack for words. This might be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. Amazing!

Example - Perfect Replacement

Something a bit different to the middle of the week. Example just gets you with his voice. It has the depth and the music has the energy. Although again this isn't my usual cup of tea from time to time it's good to put Example on and enjoy the beat. Happy Wednesday!

The Black Keys - Lonely Boy

I know that the Black Keys won a Grammy for their album, but I do not completely fathom why. Yes, there are good track on the album, but I think there are way better albums out last year. I'm not saying that the Black Keys are not good, they are very good, I've just heard better. Nevertheless, the song 'Lonely Boy' is super catchy.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers - This Time

"I believe in music... The way that some people believe in fairy tales" has been one of my favorite quotes for a while. Finally I managed to watch the movie where it is from. The movie is called August Rush and I seriously recommend it. It's filled with a great story and even better music ranging from classical to beautiful rock music. I think it's definitely going on replay for me. Just can't get it out of my head.

"The music is all around us. All you have to do is listen"

I

You know what music is?

"You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars." [Wizard, August Rush]

Jamie Woon - Night Air

No comments necessary. Just listen!

Miles Kane - Come Closer

Thanks to yesterday's hipster-themed party I remembered this gem. It's been way too long since I last listened to Miles Kane. I think this is a perfect happy mood song which gets stuck in your head. Enjoy your Saturday!

Elephants From Neptune - Make It Happen (Seducifer)

I think it's about time I would feature something from Estonia here and I think Elephants from Neptune are a great way to start. For me they really rocketed to my music list after I saw them warming up Red Hot Chili Peppers and they rocked my socks off. After that I think I've seen them perform live about 4 times and every time has been as good as the previous or even better. This video is for their latest single 'Make It Happen'! Check it out! 

P.S. Got to love the monkey! 

Macklemore & Ryan Lewys - Thrift Shop

This is more or less as far as you could go from my usual cup of tea, but this song is just so addicting and a happy-mood-song. Perfect energizer to your Thursday! And whoever came up with the sax in the background is a genius! 

System Of A Down - Chop Suey!

Oldie, but oh such a goodie! I'm pretty sure this is the first song I ever heard from SOAD and it was love from first listen! Happy Wednesday! 

Gary Clark Jr. - Bright Lights

Thank you Rock Werchter line-up for introducing me to new and awesome artists. Today's find is a fine gentleman called Gary Clark. To me he has a bit of a Lenny Kravitz vibe to him. Let's see what else he has to offer. Right now he's definitely on the watch-list!

Jonathan Jeremiah - Gold Dust

One just has to love how Rock Werchter helps me find out new awesome artists. I had one listen of Jonathan Jeremiah and I'm sold. This is my cup of tea! Enjoy! 

Editors - No Sound But The Wind (Live at Rock Werchter 2010)

This was one of the first videos that I ever saw from Rock Werchter. Ever. And although I was sold on going to the festival before, after this it was certain. Lucky for me Editors also took the stage in 2012 and I do have to say hearing this song with tens of thousands of people at night in front of the main stage was magical. And they will be there again this year. Happy Monday! 

Ben Howard - Under The Same Sun

For the lazy Sunday just because Ben Howard is that good that he's song have to be here more than once!

Band Of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You

I just love that thanks to the line-up of Rock Werchter last year as well as this year I have discovered and am still discovering so many great artists and great songs. I have heard about Band of Horses before, but I have never really listened to them. M added them to her RW playlist before me and the comment that they're 'my cup of tea' is definitely correct. Easy listening with good melody and a nice voice. I do like a lot! 

Biffy Clyro - Black Chandelier

I have no words to describe Biffy Clyro. I think it was love at the first notes that I heard them and now I will also get to see them this summer at Rock Werchter. Can you say excited? And this morning 'Black Chanelier' was the first song I heard on the radio. Seriously, just love them. Enjoy!

Asaf Avidan - Reckoning Song (One Day)

I just have to share my biggest surprise of the day: first of all, I was completely sure that this is sung by an old woman and secondly, I couldn't imagine that I would love the original this much. In my opinion, the remix version really took so much out of this song. This version is just so good and different. Different in a good way. I'm seriously shocked.

P.S. Rock Werchter announced more names to their line-up today. Let's just put it this way - in my head I'm still doing a happy dance. In addition to Green Day, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Script and oh so many more, today's best additions were BEN HOWARDS (!!!!), Biffy Clyro, The Lumineers, James Blake. I think I couldn't be happier right now. I think only if Linkin Park would appear in the line-up. 

Tobias Fröberg - When We Go To War

I just heard this song for the first time last week and I think it's hauntingly beautiful. The video is... hmmm... let's say interesting. Again I don't know much about Tobias Fröberg, but based on this song - he's good. And a bit different. Should go and listen a bit more of him. Happy Wednesday! 

It's the little things!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin'

Red Hot Chili Peppers are awesome. Although they didn't play this song when I saw them live last year (at neither times), they still rock. Seeing them on stage really had me surprised as let's be honest - they're not as young as they used to, but damn, can they rock a crowd. Happy Monday! 

P!nk - Just Give Me A Reason ft. Nate Ruess

I realized I really like this song!

Ed Sheeran - Lego House

Yesterday night I discovered that I still haven't posted anything by Ed Sheeran. I was shocked. I don't know why, but I didn't start listening to him until I found out that he was in the line of for Rock Werchter last year. From there it was pure love. I don't even know how many times I have listened to his album, but he's amazing. For the live performance I have no words. He was alone on the stage. For an hour. Just with his guitar and loop pedal. And controlled the audience from the very first notes. 

Again it was very hard for me to choose the song to post as all are just so good. I decided to go with 'Lego House' just because I think this video is hilarious as they're really playing out the comparison of Rubert and Ed.

The Script - Six Degrees Of Separation

I'm in love with the Script's 3rd album called simply #3. Although there are a few songs from it that I actually like more they unfortunately don't have official videos out yet. Nevertheless 'Six Degrees Of Separation' is a great song. I can't imagine how bad the break-up had to be to write so many great songs about it. I do like the Script a lot. Enjoy!

And life's a flower!

Lifehouse - Storm (Live)

Lifehouse is another band that is on and off my playlist for years now. Their music is pretty and perfect with a good book and a cup of tea. In the general lists there are a few true diamonds that I have loved since hearing them for the first time. On top of my head are 'Trying', 'Everything' and of course 'Storm'. I think the last one is hands down one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life. Also one of the saddest songs ever. Live performance makes it just better. Listen now!

You Me At Six - When We Were Younger

This song started playing from my phone randomly last night and it just kept haunting me until this morning. So I thought I should share. Enjoy!

A nap and a good laugh always help!

Greg Holden - The Lost Boy

I think by now you have figured out what kind of music I like the most. Greg Holden is a perfect example. I discovered him quite randomly I think about 2 years ago. From that time I've been following his music. It is a bit sad that he is not more well known as he truly is amazing. At least some exposure came when last year's American Idol winner Phillip Phillips sang a song called 'Home' written by Greg. I do have to say that to me the song sounds better with Greg's a bit rusty voice but Phillip did a good job. In general Greg's music is very melodic with beautiful written lyrics and a strong guitar sounds. Exactly my cup of tea when I'm in the mood for something on the down-low. 

Some of Greg's songs have been used in various TV shows in US, so hopefully the exposure will continue. This following song was also feature in an episode of Sons of Anarchy. I personally haven't seen the series, but must be good if it uses great music. Enjoy your Monday with Greg and definitely check out his other work!

Laugh! Smile! Or at least smirk!

True story!

John Mayer - Slow Dancing In A Burning Room

This song is very special to me personally. It brings me back to a certain point in time with certain people to a certain place. It brings back some moments. Sometimes it makes me really happy and sometimes it makes me really sad. It can't be explained. That is just how it makes me feel. Some songs are like that. 

Nevertheless, I think it's a song written by a genius and John Mayer is definitely a genius. He's talent when it comes to handling the guitar and writing lyrics is amazing. Although I'm not the biggest fan of his latest album as I think it is lacking in depth a lot, but his previous work makes up for it. Especially 'Continuum'. If you haven't listened to that album yet, then do it. Now! The lyrics, the melodies. No words.

Let's get back to important things. 'Slow Dancing...' is a beautiful song with a strong message. It can't have been an easy song to be written. Just listen to the lyrics. You'll understand what I mean. And above all, once again Mayer proves how well he can handle his guitar. 

Don't you think we ought to known by now, don't you think we should've learned somehow...

blink-182 - I Miss You

As it's a quiet Saturday night I decided to with something mellow from Blink-182. I still remember the time when this song was new. It was good then and it's great now. Although the lyrics can be quite obscure from time to time, it just says a lot. Maybe it's just me? 

In addition Blink-182 just rocks. I had the pleasure to see them live last year at RW and considering they're not longer young boys, it was not visible when they got to the mood and gave one hell of a show.
But back to the song. Have a nice Saturday evening and enjoy! 

Are you?

Passenger - Let Her Go

Something beautiful to your Friday. Just listen!

My Wish For You!
