“In Her Stead”- Baumer

Ok so I’ve looked for a music vid, or even a clip of this song, everywhere. And by that i mean only on Vodpod. I still couldn’t find it. For anyone who’s interested, it came from a sample CD from Eyeball Records promoting a movement called “To Write Love on Her Arms”. It’s all about fighting depression and suicide and helping each other overcome these obstacles. It’s pretty cool, so check it out at http://www.twloha.com/page.php?id=6. My computer seems to be broken, so I’m pretty limited on what days I can post, but I’m definitely trying here! Anyways, enough excuses, on with the review!!! *trumpet blares*

This isn’t the kind of song that I’d usually listen to, but it’s a really cool rock n’ roll song that I couldn’t help but get really into. It goes with the theme of loneliness, but it also inspires you by making you feel like you really can make a difference, which you can. Not to mention the guitar rhythm is ah-mazing. I’m not really sure why, but it makes me feel like I just popped out of a “super secret agent” movie! Rock n’ roll fans will love it and anyone who’s not really into rock should at least give it a shot, since it almost feels “alternative rock” at some parts. And before I end this review, a shout out to Mr. Ayers, my Latin teacher, who gave me this sampler CD so that I could write a new review. Thanks Mr. Ayers! : ]

“Hot N Cold”- Katy Perry

What’s up, guys? I know, I know. I’ve taken forever to write again. *sigh* Sorry about that…again. School’s a pain, sometimes. Well, I heard this song on the radio and had to write a review on it, so I finished my homework early and rushed to the computer to do it. So here it is! “Hot N Cold” by Katy Perry!! Ta-da!!!

This song is pretty awesome, I must say. We all know Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl”, but this song has a slightly different tone to it. I didn’t even realise that it was Katy Perry at first! Once you get to the chorus, though, it uncontrollably start tapping your feet, bopping up and down, etc. It goes from a sweeter sound to a more hardcore voice, but not too rock and roll. It’s a bit of a new sound for her (not that I’ve heard many of her songs or anything), but it suits her quite well. As you could probably guess from the title, the song is about a person (I’m almost positive that it’s a guy from the “break up, make up” lines) that can’t seem to make up his mind about anything at all. I’m giving you a virtual smack in the head if you didn’t get the whole “opposites” theme here. There’s no music vid for this as far as I know, but I found a YouTube vid with the music and lyrics on it, so you can at least follow along! : ]

Love and Peace,

“Closer”- Ne-Yo

Sorry, I haven’t written in a while! It’s my last day of summer today, so I have school tomorrow. I’m partly excited, but that’ll wear off after the first week. Or day. : ) On to the review!

I’ve been meaning to review “Closer” for a while now. Better late than never! First of all, no one could but Ne-Yo could pull of this video. Or this song, for that matter. He’s totally cool, like his music, but is a total gentleman, too. The video has a black-and-white quality to it that goes very well with the beat of the video, but that doesn’t mean that the video is boring or anything. No way. Overall, both the song and the video are classy, but cool, at the same time. Though you still might have to like the genre of the song to fully appreciate it. It’s still definitely worth a try, makes me wish I had fancy footwork like Ne-Yo! The vid’s up and ready for watchin’.
