Music Monday: Plain White Ts

I am a fan of Plain White T's. Their music, their lyrics, everything to me is soothing and really tells a story. It's rare when artists lyrics really speak to me and reach me deeper than the surface. My favorite songs are the ones where its mostly acoustic. I love just guitar and a voice. It's more real than adding all that other stuff to it. I'm all about the music man. :)

"Hey there Delilah" was probably the first time I heard Plain White T's. That song, the music, is amazing. Mostly guitar and Tom Higgenson. His voice his velvety goodness. Here is a cover of that song that took me forever to find a decent one. This one is one of the better ones I found. There just isn't a good cover for me that does what the original does for me...but this one comes close (?)



The next song that I really like is "1, 2, 3, 4". It's a simple song just like "Hey there Delilah" and carries so much meaning. Again mostly acoustic and a velvety voice lol
Here is Sean Murphy and his version. (I may feature him next week with one of his original songs)



And finally (Oh wow I'm doing three songs I hope I don't freak out!), their newest song "Rhythm of Love" has got me melting. Melting I tell you! The rhythm of that song is so catchy and smooth. The cover version I'm going to share is how I sing it when I'm in the shower or in the kitchen baking or cooking or even just listening to the song and singing along. This is Joseph Vincent (I love his voice!) and Clara Chung singing "Rhythm of Love". They were having fun while recording this and its still pretty fun :)

Music Monday: Green 17 tour :)

So I had a Music Monday all set and ready, but I decided I'll save it for next Monday. This Monday I will be sharing one of the best experiences ever!

This past Saturday I went to my second Flogging Molly show! They are amazing! I had an awesome time with some pretty awesome friends :)

So, today I will be sharing 3 videos. One of each of the openers (these videos won't be live from the concert) and one of Flogging Molly (from the show, but not taken by me).

So the first opening was a band called The Drowning Men. They are from San Diego. I remember liking them but nothing really stuck out to share lol
So here's the video of "More than this"



The next band was Moneybrother. There was a pretty awesome sax player in it!
The first one is from a previous city of the tour this year (its only like half the song but you see the sax player! lol Oh the song is "Born under a bad sign"



The next one is the Video of the same song.



Flogging Molly was amazing! Lol I think however, that the first time I saw them was a little bit more fun. I'm not sure why, may be the difference in the amount of people. I mean I had a good time despite the ex doing something before it that ticked me off. lol

So the first video is from that first time in 2009! :) "Seven Deadly sins"!



This is from Saturday! :) "Drunken lullabies" :)



Hope you enjoyed! I need more friends who love going to concerts as much as I do! :)

Music Monday: Olin & The Moon

I've heard these guys before. Don't remember when or where, but I was reminded of them from last week's episode of One Tree Hill. That's really all I have to say about this right now. I gotta get back to studying. I hope you enjoy!

Is it really only Wednesday?

This hasn't been a very good week, or past few weeks. Everything finally just burst yesterday. Everything I bottled up came out. I told people just how I was feeling because they asked, because they would rather ask questions then to just leave things alone. He's a jerk why do I want to talk to him? So I, when he asked why, gave him everything. Then he goes and tells people he isn't like that and doesn't think that he does it enough to be categorized as such. But just because you don't do something enough doesn't mean you aren't that. Also, it's context. Everyone is those things that I called him, but obviously he's still a surface person, and there is more to it. I don't call anyone those things. I didn't tell him why he was all of those things. Why should it matter now when it didn't matter when he said what he said then didn't do it? Yes, I'm being vague because it isn't anyone's business to know what I tell him, or what he told me, but he thinks it's ok to tell everyone that what I said about him so I look like the bad guy? He's a jerk, a liar, and selfish, but whatever. I guess people never change. I did apologize, not for what I said but for how I said it. I held it all in among with other emotions that it just came out. I know I could have said it better, because I always say things in a better sort of way to where it isn't mean or judgmental.

I also burst out at one of my best guy friends. It felt like he was ignoring me this weekend. He always does what he says he's going to do, but didn't do it this week. Last night, he wanted to talk and I needed sleep. I was pissed. It felt like he wanted to talk only when it worked for him. Its been feeling like that with several different people, but for him to do it really hurt me. I told him so, and so of course I didn't sleep much last night. I can't go to sleep angry, so we talked for a bit and straightened things out. Sometimes it feels like we are in a relationship, but we are just in a friendship lol

And through it all, Nicky's been a pretty awesome friend :) He makes me laugh and can distract my mind. I find I talk about him a lot with other people lol as well as the rest of my wonderful friends! I am noticing there are only a handful, of people that I am really close to and another handful that I can really truly call friends. And you know, that is enough for me. I don't need a lot of friends. It isn't the quantity of friends that matter, it's the quality, and my friends? Well, they are the best. I love you guys :)

Along with Nicky and the rest of my awesome friends, the patients I have been working with also put a smile on my face, but that's for another day :)

Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts Official Video

This song I am sharing, I had forgotten about I heard this awhile ago...sometime last year. My friend sent me an IM telling me that he was learning a new song on piano and that I should recognize it. He called himself an emo little girl (or maybe I called him that). Either way, I looked up the song so I can hear it and see if I would recognize it and well, ya I did. Lol I like listening to my friend play piano, he thinks he's not that good nd that he has a lot of practice to do to be excellent, but he's actually pretty good mess ups and all, just don't tell him I'm being nice lol :)

Well, here is the song. Christina Perri "Jar of Hearts" (I could probably say I can relate to the song but then I'll go into a whole schpeel about it so, I won't lol)
