AOTW [41] : Jason Walker

Jason Walker – After listening to his song ‘Down’ on Vampire Diaries, I was really smitten by his voice and decided to search for more songs. (More like, I broke down over the song and decided to do a search on it and came across other songs. haha) Surprisingly, there isn’t one song from him that I’ve disliked so far and I really like the lyrics from every song. It really speaks from the bottom of his/my heart. Such heartfelt emotions through the lyrics and melody, great stuff !

I personally love ‘Down’, ‘You’re Missing It’ and ‘You Fill My Heart’. But featuring one of the my upbeat song from him on this entry. We’re all afraid of being more alone I guess ?

More Along – Jason Walker

It’s just another day
I’m a little scared
Don’t want to walk away
Completely unprepared
I wonder what it’s like
I wonder how it feels
To see the other side
To see it all so real

It seems like I’ve been here so long
I don’t know how I’ll ever leave
I can’t imagine moving on
And giving up everything
Just to be more alone

I’d believe a lie
It’s all I really need
To get me through the night
It’s all the same to me
I don’t need your closure
I don’t need your plan
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Just tell me there’s a chance

It seems like I’ve been here so long
I don’t know how I’ll ever leave
I can’t imagine moving on
And giving up everything
Just to be more alone

More alone
I don’t want to be
More alone
I don’t want to be

It seems like I’ve been here so long
I don’t know how I’ll ever leave
I can’t imagine moving on
And giving up everything
Just to be more alone
Just to be
More alone
More alone
Just to be
More alone

Stayin’ Alive : Grooveshark Attack !

The boyfriend told me about Grooveshark some days ago and I was hesitating about signing up for “another social networking site” but no regrets at all ! In fact, I would have stabbed myself (just kidding) for not checking Grooveshark out !

Yet another internet radio site but one of the main draws of Grooveshark is the breadth of their library, which covers almost everything from indies to your usual A-songs. Unlike blip.fm which certainly has its flaws on streaming, you can stream songs from the web interface easily and so far I have yet to come across any broken links. It’s like having an iTunes online, free of charge !

It is evident that the Grooveshark team spent a lot of time creating an interface that users would find intuitive even though new users will probably take awhile to figure it out. I love how sleek the design looks and the 3-col layout is easy to navigate. It is even easier to conduct search in Grooveshark as compared to other internet radio sites. Just type in the name of a song in the interface and you’re provided with a small url that you can paste into any of your favourite social media services, like twitter and facebook. You can do a user search to add your friends and share your playlists too ! I like the fact that I can create several playlist to suits my mood, that’s probably something that blip.fm doesn’t offer.

I have been using Grooveshark almost a week now, and I am loving it ! Grooveshark proves to be a formidable player with its user-friendly interface and much lesser downtime/broken links. Its library and social media-friendly elements are probably the key factor why I’d switch from blip.fm to them. If you can’t tell, Grooveshark has already totally win my heart ! It’s keeping me alive at work everyday without fail.

you can add me @iammyy to check out my playlist (will be adding more)

P.S : The boyfriend just told me that Grooveshark is facing lawsuit from EMI, I hope they will survive it and continue their service. C’mon record labels, *this* is the new way to promote your music and artistes…learn to embrace technology and live with it already !
