Comments: Hey there listeners. Today, I am bringing a little bit of rock into your Wednesday. To quote Maroon 5 “One more stupid love song I’ll be sick,” and this was a song that caught my attention earlier this week. The song starts out a bit slow, but there is nothing sad and depressing about this song. The Styx managed to pull off a song about a man running for his life and telling it all to his mother without it being, how do I put it…melancholy? Anyhow, the guitar is amazing in this song and coming from this band is to be expected. I have to admit I did a little background reading on this song, because I don’t know much about the Styx. It was released back and ’79 on their album Sing for the Day and is apparently a very successful hit of theirs that I just haven’t heard. Now, the video that I have linked on here is a bit long because it’s from one of their performances and includes slightly more than just this song. I picked it because it had pretty decent sound quality and is much more interesting to watch than a lyric video. Happy listening!
Comments: Happy New Year’s Eve everyone! In the spirit of people making resolutions I decided that this would be a decent song to start off the week. Not only this, but as you may have noticed from the title, SIMS is doing a 90’s week and what’s better than a little bit of Creed. This is one song that I’m sure most if not all people reading this have heard of. I honestly had forgotten that this band had a couple of albums released in the 90s. It’s a bit cheesy and at the very end of the decade, but hey it’s a catchy tune. I’m not sure why, but I’m really in love with this Stapp’s voice (and his hair, but that’s not music related). This is the first single off of their album Human Clay and as I mentioned quite successful. I hope that you all have some goal big or small for 2013. I know that I’ve got some. I also realize that change can be difficult, but don’t get discouraged and remember that feeling of accomplishment that you’ll have when you’re done. Anyhow, let the new year help you to appreciate your dreams, make those dreams yours, and let them take you higher. Happy listening, all!
Comments: Haaaaappy Monday! And by that I mean, welcome to yet another week on the working train. I am starting off this week with a motivator. The last few days metal, rock, etc. has been my music and so while I was doing some listening I came across this song and all my will power to not dance and sing aloud to this song wasn’t strong enough and I was apparently quite amusing. This song is going to be on replay for me for a while especially this morning so that I can get myself going strong this week. As unrealistic as this video is to this song is I still think it’s very cool. Especially because looking at the stunts the main guy does I’m calling bull on it and saying he’s been bitten by a radioactive spider. I didn’t realize how old this song is, but it was released back in 2000 and did well on the charts. I hope that you all know this song and enjoy rocking to something you probably haven’t heard in a while and if you haven’t had a listen yet here’s the chance to add a good song to the collection. Happy listening!
Comments: HAPPY FRIDAY! After many of you are probably still recovering from the large amounts of food from Thanksgiving and possibly going shopping today (depending on your tolerance for massive crowds) so, I thought I would send an oldie, but an excellent song to get you motivated to get up and do something fun today. I was in the car with my dad the other day and we had the radio up quite loud to this sound because, why the heck not? I’m sure majority of the audience has probably already heard it, but here’s a little 70s for a change up. Not only does it have the awesome guitar and good beat, but it also has some excellent rap throughout by RUN-DMC. This song was released back in 1976 and reached the top 10 from their album Toys in the Attic. It’s music video also did very well on the charts being well inside the top 25 on 4/5 charts it’s listed on. I hadn’t seen the video up until a few minutes ago and it is definitely worth watching. Here is the link the Wiki because I’d love to share how well it did, but I don’t want to make a huge list for those who don’t necessarily want to read it all. Rock out this morning and happy listening!
Comments: HAPPY FRIDAY! So I know this post is a little late and I send my apologies. However! I had forgotten about this song and how much I love Bon Jovi until I heard this a couple of days ago. You gotta love the sarcasm in the title of this song and you only realize it after you’ve heard the song. This is a lot of the attitude people have on the weekends so I figured I would use the song today to get people pumped because, oh yeah….IT’S FRIDAY. If you haven’t been able to tell I’m very excited that my responsibilities are gone for the weekend. Anyhow, this is an excellent the song and the video is amusing. I think they took it a little far with the emblem as a tattoo, but it was amusing to see. “Have a nice day” everyone and happy listening!
