The Return of the Blog

So this isn't my favorite song from Arch Enemy, but its not bad. Angela Gossow can scream like nobody's business. I'm envious. Any time I try to imitate vocals like that I feel like I'm going to hack up a lung!



I don't know
I cannot see
Who we are now
How we used to be

Is it you?
Or is it me?
Look in the mirror
We are a fading memory

Who are we?
We got lost
In the cold

I will live again you'll see - tomorrow's not scaring me
Far away from yesterday - Just take away this pain

Fatal chaos
Hurtful lies
A broken dream
Is all we left behind

Is it you?
Or is it me?
Look in the mirror
Just a fading memory

I've been a big Sevendust fan for about ten years now or so and "Licking Cream" is still one of my favorite songs of theirs. I've always enjoyed female vocalists in hard rock bands such as After Forever, Arch Enemy, Nightwish, and Lacuna Coil and I find that Skin (the female singer) really complements Lajon in this song. Enjoy folks!



Corrupt my hope
In joyous hell
Between the lines
Lick the cream that smells

I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(crawling down your spine to make you stay)
I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(covering your eyes to make you pay)

Beyond the high
Lies burning eyes
Crashed down to soil
Fucked up and coiled

I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(crawling down your spine to make you stay)
I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(covering your eyes to make you pay)

Too beautiful

(repeat)

You want to feel it
But you can't reveal that
Conceived the meaning
And caress the demon
All those callous eyes
How they infect you world
So you pretend to reason
But you've lost your soul

I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(crawling down your spine to make you stay)
I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(covering your eyes to make you pay)
You shouldn't be so beautiful in my eyes
(crawling down your spine to make you stay)
I wish you weren't so beautiful in my eyes
(covering your eyes to make you pay)

Too beautiful

(repeat)

Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" has become the subject of quite a few YouTube videos. For you Kanye West fans out there you probably recognize the source now of the sample in his song "Stronger".

I picked the video rendition off YouTube I find most entertaining, but feel free to check out the rest!

For those of you that have been to my MySpace page this is probably a bit old. Fortunately I don't care because it's become one of my favorite songs lately and one you should be exposed to.

Rose of Sharyn resides on the 2004 "End of Heartache" album by Killswitch Engage. From what I can gather on the internet, which obviously means it's true, the song was written about Howard Jones' mother. Howard Jones is the lead singer for Killswitch Engage. For those that don't understand the screaming, I've provided the lyrics so you can attempt to follow along. It's actually a really nice song that has quite a bit of personal meaning for me as well.

Enjoy!



Numb and broken, here I stand alone
Wondering what were the last words I said to you
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way to turn back time
Can I turn back time?

What would I give to behold
The smile, the face of love?
You never left me
The rising sun will always speak your name

Numb and broken, here I stand alone
Wondering what were the last words I said to you
It won't be long, we'll meet again

What would I give to behold
The smile, the face of love?
You never left me
The rising sun will always speak your name

It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting

I mourn for those who never knew you

It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting
