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 [30] : Bianca Gisselle

bianca gisselle

It’s been awhile since I last posted an AOTW (Artist of the Week),  let’s bring it back with another wonderful myspace artiste who just released her debut album. Bianca Gisselle is definitely not just a pretty face but has a wonderful voice which I instantly fell in love with.

I like how she puts up videos of the recordings for her debut album too. Good way to update your fans and keep them in the loop. Afterall, they are the ones who helped you realize your dreams too ?

Check out this video of her doing a cover of One Republic’s ‘Say (All I Need)’

One Republic -  Say (All I Need)
Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing’s turned out how you wanted

Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You’re doing your best and
Your best look
You’re praying that you make it

Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Whenever the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it

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

AOTW [12] : Quebec Antique

I have just started school this week and woah, it has been a crazy start to my 3rd year in university ! (Ok, just an excuse for the lack of entries..I’m honest!)

To start things off on the right track again, here is this week’s Artist of the Week featuring Quebec Antique ! They are a pretty newly formed ambient electronic band who pretty much reminds me of The Postal Service alot.“The Abbey Tapes” is the debut effort of British born musician Andy Dollerson and Canadian singer/instrumentalist/songwriter Michael Blake. Fantastic dualism !

Some of you might have heard of them from thesixtyone.com (which is a really cool website that features alot of indie music by the way – will blog about it next time!) So far my favourite track is “Almost had you” – what about yours ?
