Music is one of the things that color life, so here's a couple discoveries I think you'll love as much as I do.

1) Daniela Andrade
She makes both covers and originals, and lemme just tell you-
She has the voice of an angel.
It's clear, it reveberates within your heart, it's pure and sweet and slightly sexy.
Do check her out!
I loved the original one by Judy Garland, but this was beautiful too.
If I had my way, I'd stay in

And of course, I have to include this too.
Soulful and heartbreaking, it's breathtaking.
I've always thought that Judy Garland had a voice that seemed too old for her, like there were heavy burdens that she carried beneath that sprightliness.
Her eyes look almost vacant to me, as though they've seen too much to want to see anymore.
I don't know, she's had a really tragic life that saddens me to think of.. If only she didn't have to go through all that.

2) Meat Loaf
This is amazing.
'I bet you say that to all the boys!'
^ Just gotta love that line and the way it was delivered.

Everything about music and movies from the past is great.
I wanna listen to more, I wanna check out Nirvana and The Beatles and more.
You know me not to be one of those who thinks that music of today is trash, I just think that it's not very distinct, almost to the point where it becomes a little boring. Some songs have strong emotions and messages, while others have none. It's more about selling the artiste and selling via sex than anything else, and the focus is on the beat and sounding good. In short, I find a lack of meaning in many of the songs nowadays, but there's still good music out there.
And of course, I'm still one to love catchy songs and rock to popular hits.
I just don't find all of it to be that enticing, is all.

I really like this one.

3) Boards of Canada
Now this is interesting.
It's extremely different, and very.. Transportive, I would say.
It is calming, and seems to tell a story with every individual track.
It almost makes you feel like you're teleporting to a different place with unknown beings beside you, you know?
Definitely, this is music that hooks onto you and doesn't let go.

I don't know why, but this makes me think of flying mermaids and sails built horizontally on a ship.
^ I guess that's why I like this music so much, it really is unique in the strangeness it carries.


Now here's another great one.

4) The Smashing Pumpkins
Today is the greatest
'Pink ribbon scars'. I love that phrase. Why is it so?

I like this one more :>
It's kinda a laid-back sounding, funky type of style of music, isn't it?

Anyways
I think that's it for now.
All these are songs/artistes I've been liking/loving recently,
But I don't love them all,
Not yet.

Sometimes you have to go back several times before you can appreciate something that isn't the  mainstream cereal that you're spoon-fed on a daily basis.
Still, I rather like these songs.
Does that mean that I've got bad taste?
Or am I.. Boring?
*Dramatic music plays*

Man, the second worse thing to ever happen to a person-
Right next to becoming bad enough to hurt others intentionally-
Is to be boring, predictable, and typical.

Ah, but music isn't something you like to make yourself interesting.
It just happens.
Therefore, to wrap this up, let's share a lil something that I've loved from a long time ago, shall we?

I just wanna learn to appreciate different sorts of music, expand that range and thereby expand my experiences and views, that's all. Liking them is different from loving them, but I'm enjoying this all the same. I just don't ever want to be stuck on one genre of music, that's way too flat a way of living life. (I wonder if I'm contradicting myself..)

5) Late Night Alumni
Beautiful, huh?

6) Linkin Park
I need a hero, save me now.
There's one amazing song from them that I loved as a live performance, but I can't recall it right now. >~< Oh well. You get the point.
These people are godly at what they do, and I love them for it.
