AOTW [42] : Tyler Ward ft Megan Nicole & Eppic

It’s been awhile since I last heard such a good collaboration. Tyler Ward puts together a really nice cover of ‘Love the way you lie’ featuring Megan Nicole and Eppic. Love the song and love how they all look genuinely enjoying recording this together. The cool thing about Tyler is the fact that he takes the time to re-arrange the songs and produces them with his own style.

If you like what you hear, check Tyler out on YouTube for more covers and his original music! I think he’s gonna make it big someday.

Love The Way You Lie – Eminem ft Rihanna

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that’s alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that’s alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can’t tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there’s a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can’t breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It’s like I’m in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It’s like I’m huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I sufficate
And right before im about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I’m leaving you
No you ain’t
Come back
We’re running right back
Here we go again
It’s so insane
Cause when it’s going good
It’s going great
I’m Superman
With the wind in his bag
She’s Lois Lane
But when it’s bad
It’s awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who’s that dude
I don’t even know his name
I laid hands on her
I’ll never stoop so low again
I guess I don’t know my own strength

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that’s alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that’s alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you’re with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit ‘em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get ‘em
Now you’re getting fucking sick
Of looking at ‘em
You swore you’ve never hit ‘em
Never do nothing to hurt ‘em
Now you’re in each other’s face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit ‘em
You push
Pull each other’s hair
Scratch, claw, bit ‘em
Throw ‘em down
Pin ‘em
So lost in the moments
When you’re in ‘em
It’s the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it’s best
To go your separate ways
Guess that they don’t know ya
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It’s a different day
Sound like broken records
Playin’ over
But you promised her
Next time you’ll show restraint
You don’t get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that’s why they call it window pane

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that’s alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that’s alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn’t mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper’s just as bad
As mine is
You’re the same as me
But when it comes to love
You’re just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn’t you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn’t as crazy as it seems
Maybe that’s what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don’t you hear sincerity
In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I’m pissed
I’ll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it’s lies
I’m tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I’m a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I’mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that’s alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that’s alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

AOTW [39] : Sick Puppies

Sick Puppies I discovered Sick Puppies by chance a couple of years back but came across them again when their song ‘That Time of Year’ was featured on NCIS (Yes, I’m still pretty much a TV junkie – GREAT show I must say!).  This Australian band even engaged in a documentary film by Robert Knight and I think the DVD will be out pretty soon later this year. Looking forward to that !


White Balloon – Sick Puppies

I’m holding on to white balloons
Up against the sky of doom
Tell me you see them
Cause whats inside of me is invisible to most
Even in clear view
Im sending out a signal
To the possibility of you
Cause right at this moment
I know youre connected to a part of me
That I dont even know myself

The changes in me
Are likely to be like the weather
Stormy and clear
Strength into fear bound together

But I’ll break my silence
If I believe that you and me
Could ever be more than just
What’s been behind us
I tried and left they came and went
I got rejected out again
But no one believes me
I’ve worn a hundred faces
Of the characters and placements
And now nobody sees me

The changes in me
Are likely to be like the weather
Cloudy at best

Angels lift me
Are you with me?
I’m holding on to you like
I’m holding on to white balloons
Carry me away
I hope that you dont break

Cause what’s inside of me is invisible to most
Even in clear view

AOTW [35] : Angels And Airwaves

Angels & Airwaves 1709Usually I’ll try to feature youtube/myspace artists but couldn’t find anyone who covered this song by Angels and Airwaves, so here’s the original artist with one of my favourite song from their 2007 I-Empire album. Catchy beat and of course the ever-catchy line of saying “everything’s magic”. Honestly, I prefer the acoustic version featured below.

What I like about Angels and Airwaves (apart from the fact that it’s lead by Blink 182′s Tom DeLonge) is that their music is inspiring and you can always feel the message behind each song.  Their songs somehow grow on you after a few playbacks. Looking forward to see their film ‘Love‘, pretty sure the soundtrack will be awesome !

So down with depressing songs that remind you of the past or dwelling in relationships problems, here’s one to remind you that you still have a purpose in life, give life your best shot, live to the fullest and don’t be afraid to fall in love again.


Angels and Airwaves – Everything’s Magic

And do you ever feel like you’re alone?

And do you ever wish you’d be unknown?

I could say that i have i could say that i have

And do you ever feel things here aren’t right?

And do you ever feel the time slip by?

I can say that i have and i can say that i have

So hear this please

And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly

And look for the stars as the sun goes down

Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound

Everything everything’s magic

Just sit back and hold on but hold on tight

Prepare for the best and the fastest ride

And reach out your hand and i’ll make you mine

Everything everything’s magic

And do you ever lay awake at night?

And do you ever told yourself don’t try

Don’t try to let yourself down don’t try to let yourself down

And do you ever see yourself in love?

And do you ever take a chance my love?

Because you know that i will because you know that i will

So hear this please

And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly

And look for the stars as the sun goes down

Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound

Everything everything’s magic

Just sit back and hold on but hold on tight

Prepare for the best and the fastest ride

And reach out your hand and i’ll make you mine

Everything everything’s magic everything everything’s magic

So hear this please

And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly

And look for the stars as the sun goes down

Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound

Everything everything’s magic

Just sit back and hold on but hold on tight

Prepare for the best and the fastest ride

And reach out your hand and i’ll make you mine

Everything everything’s magic

AOTW [34] : Byron Koppens

Another nice surprise while doing some random surfing online. Came across Byron Koppen’s myspace profile and really liked this cover of “It’s my life”.  This 20 years old is located at New Zealand and his originals aint too bad too. Check out his cover of Adam Lambert’s “Whataya want from me” – a current favourite on my playlist.

Adam Lambert – Whataya Want From Me

Hey, slow it down
What do you want from me
What do you want from me
Yeah, I’m afraid
What do you want from me
What do you from me

There might have been a time
I would give myself away
(Ooh) Once upon a time
I didn’t give a damn
But now here we are
So what do you want from me
What do you want from me

Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
What do you want from me

Yeah, it’s plain to see
that baby you’re beautiful
And it’s nothing wrong with you
It’s me – I’m a freak
but thanks for lovin’ me
Cause you’re doing it perfectly

There might have been a time
When I would let you step away

I wouldn’t even try but I think
you could save my life

Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
What do you want from me

Just don’t give up on me
I won’t let you down
No, I won’t let you down

So
Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me

Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me
(whataya want from me)
Whataya want from me
whataya want from me

AOTW [31] : Skyrocket Love

I’m usually blasting my Grooveshark playlist when it’s the exam mugging period. I was just adding some old school songs and discover that Grooveshark now promotes upcoming bands to its listeners on their main page. Way to go !

Skyrocket Love caught my eyes (ok, to be exact – the one on the left, haha! I think he’s the keyboardist?) and decided to give their songs a listen. Pretty awesome stuff I must say ! Reminds me alot of  One Republic and Yellowcard somehow for a strange reason, although I feel that their influences came mainly from (of course) artists that I really like – Coldplay, Jimmy Eat World, Muse, Snow Patrol etc. Can’t really find the right ‘label’ to the band, but I like their own style and voice too.

I really enjoyed ‘Save The World’, ‘Rushing Back’ and ‘Safe In My Dreams’. Go check them out on their myspace for more ! So far, I must say I’m lovin’ them on my playlist =)

Skyrocket Love –  Novocaine

[wish i could find the lyrics but no luck =( ]

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 [20] : AJ Rafael

Discovered AJ Rafael when I was looking for christmas songs on youtube, another young talent I must say.

Currently studying in Berklee College of Music and his first single “I Just Want You” is out on iTunes already.

Pretty cute song ! Especially when it’s played with Ukulele !


I Just Want You – AJ Rafael
Theres something I gotta say to you
But im so afraid of what you’ll doo
Ohhhh

I’ll just admit this to you now
That Im stuck on you like glue somehow

Don’t wanna feel so cold inside
I wanna feel the warmth that I feel with you all the time

Surrounding me just like the wind
Cuz youre the one who makes me sing

Help me find myself like how I found you oh
I need you so we can live happily too ohh
I just want you

I wanna go out with you tonight
A picnic with candlelight
I might just hold you tight

Tell me you wanna be my queen
If not its ok a princess seems just my type I promise I’ll be there tonight
I’ll keep you warm in winter’s white
And in the summer walks on beach sound nice
I want you now to talk with on the phone for hours at a time
Baby I just want you to be mine all mine

I wanna be ur valentine ur Christmas wish ur pickup line
I wanna be the one who knows about ur friends and foes and the tv shows you love
Look above the stars spell out ur name with an exclamation point at the end of the day ur the one who makes me say

I liked his collaboration with Jane Lui and Gerald Ko “Do you hear what I hear” as well, beautiful voices !

So here’s an additional video for this week’s Artist of the Week ! Merry Christmas !!

AOTW [19] : Sam Tsui

Disappeared for quite some time since it was my final papers, finally…Goodbye Year 3 Term 1 !

Starting things off again with Artiste of the Week (AOTW)- Featuring Sam Tsui !

Actually I was looking for Glee songs on youtube and came across his cover of “Don’t Stop Believing”

Really enjoyed it and I think he has a great voice (even though the video was alil creepy at first – clones attack ! haha)

I thought it was a great cover and check out Sam’s myspace for other covers !

Don't Stop Believing

Just a small town girl
livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nights
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the nights

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Don't stop believin
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people

Don't stop!

AOTW [15] : Asher Book

Asher Book is probably quite a fresh face to the Hollywood scene, he’s one of the cast (Marco) for the movie “Fame“. Thought this song was really sweet and his voice isn’t too bad.  Found out that he belongs to one of the latest boyband out there “V Factory” that is produced by Tommy Page (Warner Brothers Records) ! I wonder how long this boyband will take to become the next Backstreet Boys or Westlife back in my days (I know, I sound like I’m freaking old already.)

Keeping my entries short, midterms for the upcoming week so pardon the lack of updates !

Asher Book -Try

If I walk would you run
if I stop would you come
if I say you’re the one would you believe me
If I ask you to stay would you show me the way
tell me what to say so you don’t need me

The world is catching up to you
while you’re running away to chase your dream
its time for us to make a move
cause we are askin’ one another to change but maybe I’m not ready

But i’ll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
we’ve been hiding enough

If I sing you a song would you sing along
I’ll wait till I’m gone
oh how we’re pushing through
If I give you my heart would you just play the part
Tell me it’s the start of something beautiful

Am i catching up to you while you’re runnin’ away
to chase your dreams
It’s time for us to face the truth
cause we are coming to each other to change
but maybe I’m not ready

But I’ll try for your love
I can hide up above
I’ll try for your love
we’ve been hiding enough

I’ll try for your love
I can hide up above
hide above
I’ll hide

If I walk would you run
If I start would you come
If I say you’re the one will you believe me

Local Talent ? We Want You !

I’m currently doing a show call “Out of Order” with my co-host Rachel on SMU Campus Radio which is aired every Friday 7-8pm (Sadly, I think VPN is required to tune in to us..unless someone wants to sponsor for our broadcast license ? haha)

Basically we have 4 main segments in the show whereby we feature what’s happening or cool events in Singapore that students can check out over the weekend, geeky gadgets or sites to browse through, random facts and jokes and of course the main highlight is our Myspace artiste of the week.

Similarly to what I’ve been doing on my blog, we feature a local/myspace artiste each week. I’ve been doing interviews for the past 3 radio shows and this term will not be any different !In fact, we’re kicking things off with the Pervy Boy soon !

So if you know of any (or if you are !) local talent/artiste…do drop me a msg ! Or email to ingridmak [at] gmail [dot] com !
