AOTW [59]: CSS

source: rollingstone.com

Gonna keep my promise and try to update regularly despite the thesis writing..so keeping things short….No, we are not talking about Cascading Style Sheets here but the Brazilian band “CSS”. This song is their lead single from their 3rd album “La Liberación”. What attracted me most was this video that was shot in Barcelona, where they are teaching the dance moves at the same time! It’s quite a fun laid-back song to groove to and so…sit back and enjoy!

Hits Me Like A Rock – CSS

Oh, oh-oh-oooo
Oh, oh-oh-oooo
Oh, oh-oh-oooo
Oh, oh-oh-oooo

It’s been so long I heard that song
It made me sweat when I sang along
And even after all this time that went pass by
It hits me like a rock and I still don’t know why

Take me on your motorcycle
Run with you through the hairs
We don’t care for what’s wrong and what’s not
I liked to be with you, without a view of what’s real

But then you say we always loose our edge
But baby, baby is that too bad?

You know I like you a lot
It still hits me like a rock (Ooh, oh-oh-oooo)
It still hits me like a rock (Ooh, oh-oh-oooo)
It still hits me like a rock (Ooh, oh-oh-oooo)
It still hits me like a rock (Ooh, oh-oh-oooo)

It’s been so long since I’ve heard that song
It made me cry when I sang along
And even after all this time that went pass by
It hits me like a rock and I still don’t know why

You took me if we ever collide again
You would not my brain a million times
We have too many bruises from too much kissing
And the only pain would be from too much missing

But then you say we always loose our edge
But baby, baby is that too bad?

You know I like you a lot
It still hits me like a rock (Ooh, oh-oh-oooo)
It still hits me like a rock (Ooh, oh-oh-oooo)
It still hits me like a rock (Ooh, oh-oh-oooo)
It still hits me like a rock (Ooh, oh-oh-oooo)
Hits me like a rock

It’s been so long I’ve heard that song
It made me sweat
And still after all this time
Hits me like a rock and I don’t know

But then you say we always loose our edge
But baby, baby is that too bad?

You know I like you a lot (but)
Rock, rock, rock
Hits me like a rock (hits me like a rock)
Rock, rock, rock
Hits me like a rock(hits me like a rock)
Rock, rock, rock
Hits me like a rock(hits me like a rock)

AOTW [57] : The Black Keys

The Black Keys The Black Keys is an American rock band formed in Ohio in 2001, it consists of Dan Auerbach who plays the guitar and vocals, while Patrick Carney plays the drums. Their popular single “Tighten Up” was probably the breakthrough for them in 2010 where they won 3 Grammy Awards. I love this song that I’m featuring in this post because Johnny Depp *fangirl mode* performed it together with The Black Keys at the MTV Movie Awards 2012! Actually I find The Black Keys reminds me of Steppenwolf (think “Born to be wild”), anyone else? Smile

The Black Keys – Gold On The Ceiling

Down in the waves
She screams again
Roar at the door
My mind can’t take much more
I could never drown in

They wanna get my…
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain’t blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It’s alright
Ain’t no guard in my house

Clouds covered love’s
Barb-wired snare
Strung up, strung out
I just can’t go without
I could never drown in

They wanna get my…
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain’t blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It’s alright
Ain’t no guard in my house

AOTW [53] : Hot Chelle Rae

I have been neglecting my blog recently as I’m in my remaining 3 weeks of undergrad life (mad rush to submit essays and projects) and juggling between 2 part time jobs. Really hectic schedule but I’m pretty much a workaholic and I love how being busy takes my mind off things. (Such irony – because I actually have even more things on my mind! But mostly work and ideas)

Of course I did not forget my love for music, I do regularly post up songs on my “myy #nowplaying” facebook group (do join us if you’re interested in following my music taste or contribute to the group like some other members!)

This week’s Artist Of The Week shall be Hot Chelle Rae ! I came across their song while listening to an online radio weeks ago. Decided to feature them as I was down at Timbre this week and someone among the audience requested for the local band,Goodfellas to play one of their songs (obviously they had no idea who Hot Chelle Rae is, such shame!) I really love this song from the band as it has such a happy catchy tune – always bring a smile on my face! Enjoy and have a good weekend!

‘Tonight Tonight’ – Hot Chelle Rae

It’s been a really really messed up week
Seven days of torture, seven days of bitter
And my girlfriend went and cheated on me
She’s a California dime but it’s time for me to quit her

La la la, whatever, la la la, it doesn’t matter, la la la, oh well, la la la

We’re going at it tonight tonight
There’s a party on the rooftop top of the world
Tonight tonight and were dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign
I don’t know if I’ll make it but watch how good I’ll fake it
Its all right, all right, tonight, tonight

I woke up with a strange tattoo
Not sure how I got it, not a dollar in my pocket
And it kinda looks just like you
Mixed with Zach Galifianakis

La la la, whatever, la la la, it doesn’t matter, la la la, oh well, la la la

We’re going at it tonight tonight
There’s a party on the rooftop top of the world
Tonight tonight and were dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign
I don’t know if I’ll make it but watch how good I’ll fake it
Its all right, all right, tonight, tonight

You got me singing like
Woah, come on, ohh, it doesn’t matter, woah, everybody now, ohh

Just don’t stop let’s keep the beat pumpin’
Keep the beat up, lets drop the beat down
It’s my party dance if I want to
We can get crazy let it all out

Just don’t stop let’s keep the beat pumpin’
Keep the beat up, lets drop the beat down
It’s my party dance if I want to
We can get crazy let it all out

Its you and me and were runnin this town
And its me and you and were shakin the ground
And ain’t nobody gonna tell us to go cause this is our show

Everybody
Woah, come on, ohh, all you animals
Woah, let me hear you now, ohh

Tonight tonight there’s a party on the rooftop top of the world
Tonight tonight and were dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign
I don’t know if I’ll make it but watch how good I’ll fake it
Its all right, all right, tonight, tonight
Its all right, all right, tonight, tonight
Yeah its all right, all right, tonight, tonight

Just singing like
Woah, come on, ohh, all you party people
Woah, all you singletons, ohh, even the white kids

Just don’t stop lets keep the beat pumpin’
Keep the beat up, lets drop the beat down
Its my party dance if I want to
We can get crazy let it all out

Just don’t stop lets keep the beat pumpin’
Keep the beat up, lets drop the beat down
Its my party dance if I want to
We can get crazy let it all out

AOTW [52] : Schrödinger’s Cat

First <Artiste Of The Week ‘AOTW’> for 2011, I have been really lazy and I still have an interview from last year that’s lying in my draft. (oops!) But to begin the year on a good note, I shall feature a local band which I’m really proud of – Schrödinger’s Cat !

According to what I know, or rather what Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory has mentioned, Schrödinger’s Cat is actually a principle in quantum theory of superposition. Interesting choice of a band’s name eh ? Not sure the reason behind it but maybe the band will explain it someday?

The band is pretty new I suppose but their song ‘Anything Goes’ has been featured as the theme song of a Singapore sitcom “Anything Goes” ! (Ok, the main reason why I’m so proud of them is because 2 of my really good friends from poly,GQ and Sek Jhia belongs to this local band too!) Their style is more mellow and I really appreciate it since there are just way too many rock/punk local bands brewing in Singapore.

Enjoy my personal favorite from the band so far ! Looking forward to more originals from them.

Schrodinger’s Cat – Debut performance of original song ‘Hurricane’ on 987fm

And I walked into the rain, chasing hurricanes.
Swinging by your place, to see your lovely face.
Well I know that it’s wrong now….
But I’m still knocking on your door…until the final day.

Feels like I’m afraid, the night will slip away.
Turning in my bed, with you stuck in my head.
I know I should be strong now….
But I….I think I’m gonna fall….

Give me a hurricane, to take my breath away; to tear me into pieces, spread me far away.
Blow me into senses, make me understand; one day you won’t be there….how long can we pretend?

You say, you’re feeling flat today; you’re rolling into space.
A drink will wake you up; it helps to start the day.
Well I’ll just fall asleep now….
While you….you just drive away….

You are my hurricane; you take my breath away; you tear me into pieces, spread me far away. You blow me out of senses, a little by a day. One day you won’t be there How long can we pretend?

Outside the air is still now…
It’s calm before the storm…

Before you go away… Before the you board the plane
And you will fly away now, 13 hours away.
Memories are vague…they’ll just fade away; I’d rather watch you blow your hair for every single day….

You are my hurricane. You take my breath away. You tear me into pieces, and spread me far away. Keep me in your dreambox when everything is gonna end. And maybe we’ll escape…maybe we’ll escape….

In our hurricane……

AOTW [40] : Tyler James and The Exchange

Tyler James and The Exchange - brownie points for these University of the Arts students from New Jersey. I like how down to earth these guys are, from a basement band who puts up all their videos on youtube and recording their debut album last April.

I think they have a pretty unique vocal, reminds me alil of Maroon 5 , in my opinion. What do you think ? Featuring one of their live gig and my favourite song from Kelly Clarkson’s new album.

Oh, check out their cover of Katy Perry’s California Girls on youtube too ! Cuteness !

Cry – Kelly Clarkson

If anyone asks

I’ll tell them we both just moved on

When people all stare

I’ll pretend that I don’t hear them talk

Whenever I see you I’ll swallow my pride and bite my tongue

Pretend I’m okay with it all

Act like there’s nothing wrong

Is it over yet?

Can I open my eyes?

Is this as hard as it gets?

Is this what it feels like to really cry cry

If anyone asks

I’ll tell them we just grew apart

Yet what do I care

If they believe me or not

Whenever I feel your memory is breaking my heart

I’ll pretend I’m okay with it all

Act like there’s nothing wrong

Is it over yet?

Can I open my eyes?

Is this as hard as it gets?

Is this what it feels like to really cry cry

I’m talking in circles

I’m lying they know it

Why won’t this just all go away?

Is it over yet?

Can I open my eyes?

Is this as hard as it gets?

Is this what it feels like to really cry cry cry

AOTW [27] : Gorillaz

pic source: watchmojo.com

I think Gorillaz is probably the only band which remains  ‘unknown’ and their members have this ‘mysterious persona’ behind their cartoon characters.

I like how the band goes viral to reveal their new album Plastic Beach. This trailer is  set to an orchestral soundtrack that tours the album’s cover ! Way different from their usual music but very visually intriguing, can’t wait to see what they have in store for this new album. Though I have to admit that I have no idea what the whole video is suppose to mean !

So here’s the official HD Orchestral Trailer for Gorillaz‘s fantastic new album ” Plastic Beach” out March 8th!

AOTW [13] : The Sunstreak

This NY-based band, The Sunstreak is not exactly a new band – they have been around since 2005 and technically this is not their debut album BUT the first album under a major label. Their new album “Once Upon A Lie” features the single “Until I Met You” will be available on 16th October.

Their music style is quite similar to Lifehouse and Jimmy Eat World which is more inclined to rock/pop. I think their songs are pretty catchy too !

One thing I liked about the band is their passion in music, “Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re wasting your time. Take it from us, if you are struggling, you’re probably doing something right. And never give up and always be thankful. Just to be given the chance to play music is a great thrill and honor.” This was from one of their interviews when asked to give advice to bands who are hoping to be signed and make a living out of music career.

Enjoy their song ! I really like the lyrics =)

I once believed that there was no one for me, until I met you,
But I couldn't see how happy I could be, until I met you,
Until I met you,
Met you

Standing alone, no one to call my own, until I met you,
All on my own, and I was colder than stone, until I met you,
Yeah, yeah

Until I met you my world was empty,
Until I met you the sky was grey,
And everything I thought that I believe in
I can feel it all slip away

That was up until the day,
Until the day I met you

I'm fighting this battle with you by my side
I know that I need you
And I've got nothing to hide

I'll stand by you always
I'll want more to ride
I'm here in this moment
I'm shedding my pride 

Until I met you my world was empty,
Until I met you the sky was grey,
And everything I thought that I believe in,
I can feel it all slip away

Until I met you my world was empty,
Until I met you the sky was grey,
And everything I thought that I believe in,
I can feel it all slip away

Until the day I met you
Met you

Until I met you my world was empty,
Until I met you the sky was grey,
And everything I thought that I believe in,
I can feel it all slip away

Until I met you my world was empty,
Until I met you the sky was grey,
And everything I thought that I believe in,
I can feel it all slip away

That was up until the day,
Until the day I met you
