Bonus Post

You guys get a special treat this week. I am in Nevada living in a hotel. Not much to do in the evening after work so I get bored and I have decided to do a little blogging.

this bonus post is to share with you all three versions of a recent hit single that I find equally amazing. When I first heard this song, it was a cover version. I thought it was very well done. I then searched out the original and fell in love with it all over again. The rawness for eh song, and the relatability of it are what really drew me into it. It just gets to your heart. Not to mention the smooth feel of the music coupled with a throw-it-back-in-your-face attitude of the lyrics work together to bring just pure awesomeness. One could even say it is legen- wait for it... dary (sorry, I had to throw that reference in there).

Oh, and there I found another cover of this song and again I was stunned. this was was very unique. Five people playing one guitar and singing it. Now that is legendary! In fact. I discovered these three versions all within a day of each other and couldn't decide which one I liked best. I wanted to buy the song, but couldn't justify buying all three versions. It probably took me three weeks of listening to the song to finally settle on the original, and I have loved having it; plus it fit more with what I wanted the song for anyway. Alright, well, here it is. One of the best songs to come out this year.

So the video for the original by Gotye is a little weird. And, I don't get the whole painting thing at all, but this guy, along with Kimbra, are just amazing together. All out 5 star performance.

I was a little hesitant of this one at first. I don't watch Glee at all and there are only two songs that they covered that I actually liked (this being one of them). I like how they give it a little twist in the meaning and make it between siblings, very original.

And then there's these guys. What can I say, the video speaks for itself. being able to coordinate all the different parts in this fashion is truly incredible (although I feel sorry for the guy with a beard, far right; he only plays one chord that only happens five times in the song and doesn't sing. But hey, he has a beard and that makes him absolutely awesome). I feel like there could have been a little more emotion in there faces throughout, but their voices are amazing and they pull it off like champs.

My Life in Song: Part 2

Here is the next installment of my latest series. I was hoping to do more by now, but I keep forgetting the songs I want to throw in here. Anywho, this song is by Relient K and is called, "Must've Done something Right."

First off, Relient K is just amazing. I loved them from the very first time I heard one of their songs. This has long been a particular favorite. I find that it portrays how I see any relationship I am in. I feel like I have one the jackpot. The girl is definitely a step up from me. In the song there is mention to how everything the guy does and says is very cliché. That is how I am. Going with the theme of "hopeless romantic" (as is the blog) I am very old fashioned. I would definitely chase a soccer ball across town for a girl (as per the video). I believe in being chivalrous, and I think this song does a magnificent job of showing that. Great song, and fits with who I am.

that's it for this post. Laterz.
