Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas - Let Me Hear

It is that time again!

I thought it would be a good idea to write about this particular track.

Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas - Let Me Hear

This song I heard originally on an anime opening. Parasyte -the maxim-. Which is absolutely amazing by the way. 

I had heard of the band before, I remember having a bit of their music on my harddrive that a friend gave me. 

The song starts off with small beat and just vocals - synth vocals. I personall am not a fan of synth, however I find it works perfectly in this song. I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it fits. I think it would sound rather strange if it wasn't. It is a nice contrast to the growling/screaming. Adds energy to the tune as a whole. 

The song breaks up, which is nice. It stops the synth vocals from being too much. It is interesting that three of the band members are doing the vocals. I find nothing wrong with this at all. There is no point in a vocalist straining their voices to sound a certain way. Stick to what you are good at and are comfortable with. 

I love the breakdown. When it just turns into heavy guitar chugging and drums. 

The whole song just keeps you moving. For example, if this was played at a concert or something - people would dance through the whole thing. Dancedancedance. The energy continues through the whole song, the tempo changes and the style changes., but the energy is constant. 

I don't remember why I stopped listening to this band. I really should get back to it. Haha!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I have! Try the anime - it is amazing!

Disturbed - Sound of Silence

Hello there!

I decided to write about this on the spur of the moment.

I was on facebook and the Disturbed page posted this video and I just had to write about it!

Disturbed - The Sound of Silence

This happens to be one of my favourite songs of Simon and Garfunkel and I am overjoyed that one of my favourite bands has done a cover.

David Draiman has such a soothing voice, even with so much power behind it, he still carries this song well. The emotion portrayed comes through. You could say I am biased due to loving this song since I was a child. 

I feel that Disturbed kept the slight haunting feeling in the vocals and the melody itself. Disturbed have a piano playing the acoustic at the start of the song. Which I feel was a perfect touch. David projecting his voice closer to the end of the song is beautiful, shows his true talent as a vocalist and that he isnt all about growling and shouting. Sends a chill down my spine.

What makes this song even more special for me is the fact it is a video made by them. It has the band members in it, not their mascot. Its not political. Its a song sung and played with passion.

I haven't listened to the original in so long, but as soon as I played this, I felt emotion grow inside me, remembering how much I loved the original. 

I will add the original 

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (1964)

This way, you can listen to both and see just how amazing both of them are. Disturbed really did the song justice. In my opinion.

I hope yoou have enjoyed this song as much as I have, since I was a little girl.

Granrodeo - Can Do

We are back!

I now have more time on my hands to post more! I will do my best to update frequently.

This one will get you up and dancing. I hope!

GRANRODEO - Can Do

I heard this song back last year when I was in Tokyo. I was watching latenight TV, and an anime came on. Kuroko no Basuke. Now, it was all in raw Japanese and I had NO clue what was going on. I decided to watch and it amazing. This is the opening theme for season 1. 

No matter how many times I listen to it, I want to get up and dance. I even do a jig in my seat if I am sat down! It is so upbeat and lively, makes you ready for anything, You can do anything.

The video for this track is as I expected it would have been, basketball being played in the background. The musicians bouncing around as if they are going to explode with energy. The vocals are so powerful, the whole band are feeding the energy through the music and making us want to throw our arms up and dance around.

I get so much of it from this song, I just want to dance. Jump around and go crazy - and not care who is looking.

I love songs like this, pumps me up, ready for the day, gives me the feeling I can do it! We can do it!

I absolutely love this band now after hearing a few of their tracks. I hope you give them a listen, I will be posting more of their songs up soon!

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I have! And get dancing. You can do it!

Disturbed - Open Your Eyes

Hey there!

This is an interesting one. I have been wanting to post this for a couple of weeks, but the recent events have made me press the button.

It is very fitting with the situation.

Disturbed - Open Your Eyes

As we all know, Disturbed became slightly serious and a bit more political before they went on hiatus. They made songs about real problems like suicide and corruption. Their comeback has a similar style, if not more focused on the latter. I completely agree with passing a message on through music, people listen and take it on board. I feel his vocals are powerful enough to make people listen.

Like I said, the past few months, I heard this song and I felt I could relate a little. In recent days, events happened that has made me want to post this. I never post my political opinion or my opinion on such events. The most I feel comfortable doing is posting this.

It is clear what the message is, don't listen to everything the media throws at you. Open your eyes and see the lies you are being fed - not just by the media. Maybe, in some cases, not complete lies, but fabricated to make it a lot worse than it is to make you feel more hatred and turn against others. 

The music to this track makes me think. The way its paced. I think that is the whole idea. I think David Draimans vocals work very well with this style of music, I do however miss their old stuff. I miss his oh-wa-ah-ah-ah! 

I hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as I do.

A/N

I don't want to make this political, I don't want to argue what is right and wrong. I am simply posting this to make people aware and hope they realise that the media doesn't give you the whole truth, and to take everything they say with a pinch of salt.
