Music Sunday: Acoustic

So I kind of had a tough time figuring out where to go with my choice this Sunday. I got a (what I think is a) brilliant idea for a Music Sunday -- that will last the entire 2010. More on that later.

But after Alabama's win last night, I have been in a somber mood. Just kidding, but not really. So I will bring you some of my favorite music -- acoustic songs.

I love acoustic songs. There is something about stripping a song down to the bare essentials that is really pleasing. My favorite kinds are when they take really fast songs and slow them down. But songs that show up on albums as just acoustics by themselves are nice too.

I realize that there are MILLIONS of acoustic songs out there. That's why I am only going with five. Enjoy.

Bayside - "Blame It On Bad Luck"



Saosin - "Seven Years"



Incubus - "I Miss You"



Something Corporate - "I Want To Save You"



30 Seconds to Mars - "The Kill"



Now, I will leave you with something much more fun. This picture:

It was after jme gave me an early present for being in her wedding. The vinyl of Taking Back Sunday's latest album. Needless to say, I was pumped (even if this was the third picture we took)

Doing lines

First off, I forget to mention stuff about the radio show. I went a little "harder" as in there was a little screamo thrown in, nothing too too crazy, but definitely more energy than last week. Anyways, if you still wanna listen, click here. And also, I left a reply to those who commented with some questions so feel free to leave responses. I promise it's not an attempt to up my comments, just honest Q&A.

So anyways, this is going to be short. I don't wanna overdo it as I plan on posting my first Flashback Friday when I wake up. I made it to Crestview at about nine and I was listening to some good music on my way here. It got me thinking about some of my favorite songs and I was also thinking of a short post by Lil Miss Tabs about song lyrics.

There are so many songs by now that contain some of my favorite lines ever. If you haven't noticed by now I am a Taking Back Sunday freak and pretty much every line they have ever laid down I am in love with (Example: If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar). So I feel this may turn into a series, but for now, I would just like to share three with you.

I haven't really talked much about it in my blog life, but next month will be one year since my ex-girlfriend and I officially broke up. In that time, a lot of songs have helped me deal with the rollercoaster of emotions (I was on the receiving end). But sometimes, you go through the angry stage and during those times, you need angry songs. Or maybe, just songs where you can relate. And that's when you need the "cold" lyrics.

*I am not currently depressed or "emo" about any of this, though that day may come haha, I am just in a sharing mood right now.

Bayside - "Devotion and Desire"

How could I know
that everything you say ARE LIES about devotion and desire?
And I know the spark inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire.

Armor for Sleep - "My Saving Grace"

I thought you were and angel, I guess you were a vulture.
Either way, spread your wings and just fly away

Death Cab for Cutie - "Tiny Vessels"

So one last touch and then you'll go
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile, and it was cheap
and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
