My Muse

I like a lot of bands. Some of them you may know, some you haven't even heard of. There are different genres in music and sometimes two or more is suited to your personality, that is why you like more songs in this genre than in that other genre. Sometimes my tastes is music is boring, or at least that's what my friend says, but I don't mind.

A band that I've known since I was in 5th grade but only recently remembered is Jack's Mannequin. Almost all of their songs makes use of the piano and contains a short piano solo.

Songs that I love by J.M.

1. Swim
2. Dark Blue
3. The Mixed Tape
4. We Were Made for Each Other
5. Kill the Messenger

Another band I know is Dashboard Confessional. The name Dashboard Confessional comes from the song The Sharp Hint of New Tears. The line "On the way home, this car hears my confessions," brought to mind the phrase "Dashboard Confessional." This is mostly about easy listening and hearing the lyrics which are actually pretty good. Emo songs. I'm not emo.

Songs by D.C.

1. Stolen
2. Dusk and Summer
3. Belle of the Boulevard
4. Vindicated
5. So Long Sweet Summer

-May be boring to some people.

Random Songs that I'll always love:

1. She will be Loved- Maroon 5
2. She's got you High- Mummrha (?)
3. Face Down- Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
4. Stolen- Dashboard Confessional
5. You Could Be Happy- Snow Patrol
6. Promise the Stars- We the Kings
7. Mr. Brightside- The Killers
8. Gravity, Why Georgia- John Mayer
9. Forever and Always, You Belong with Me- Taylor Swift
10. Where's the Love- Black Eyed Peas
11. Stay here Forever- Jewel
12. Yellow, the Scientist - Coldplay
13. Dream a Little Dream of Me- Glee
14. Gotta Go My Own Way- HSM2 (Vanessa Hudgens)

The thing is that probably more than half of the songs I've posted here would be considered boring or unremarkable by most of you if you ever listen to any of them. But that doesn't bother me because these songs, ever time I hear them they make me remember a moment in my life, where the memory is so strong that it's like I'm experiencing that moment one more time. The song Gravity reminds me of the time I went to Bacolod with my family to visit a wedding. Stay Here Forever reminds me of the time I was listening to it on the way home from Ajuy where i was at the window seat looking at the sea. She's Got You High makes me imagine the movie 500 Days of Summer because that was where I'd first heard it.

Quote of the Post:

There are happy songs, there are songs for tragedy and there are songs for life, but the best songs are the songs that have the power to take us back to the first time we heard them.
