I Hate Everything About You

First, the past two songs.
Yesterday: Somewhere I belong by Linkin Park
Day Before Yesterday: This Love This Hate by Hollywood Undead

The song of the day is I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace. Out of personal experience. When you (think you) love someone, you often overlook their flaws. This is called two things; A crush, or unconditional love. The key is telling the difference. Now it's called a "crush" because in the end you only get crushed. This usually happens after finding out that they are everything you have ever hated, incarnate. Or, you get into a relationship (any relationship) with that person, then they do something that hurts you, unintentional maybe, or intentional (doesn't really matter does it?), and nothing is ever the same between you two because you just LOSE IT (GO FUCKING CRAZY!) Now, after that if you still have feelings for this person you're screwed, get back in the game and find another.
Then we cover the second type of love, which is real. It's when you find the others flaws, and you don't care. You "love" them anyway. But we all know the truth, there is no such thing as unconditional love. This isn't a cheap romance novel where everything turns out right in the end, this is life. This song represents a mix of the two types of "love" that I described to you today dear reader. Figure it out.

Papercut

Song of the Morning is Papercut by Linkin Park. Because we all have those moments where we have those voices telling us to do something we know we shouldn't. We all have those dreams of total control over everyone. That darkness. The music video for this song showed the band in a very meticulously designed apartment, meant to represent the outside of our minds (the face/body), while next to that room was an apartment flooded with darkness, containing some twisted man-like creature. As the song progresses through the video the rooms, or you could call them worlds, start to bleed together. What happens in reality when our inner selves come out? When we can't control ourselves any longer? Choas. You lose yourself and your friends, only to be welcomed into a realm where you truly belong. But nobody wants the world to see who they really are, so we act how society wants us to act in some weak attempt to blend in with the world. No longer do we have to do that my friends. Follow the music, unleash your demon.

When The Music Stops

Music is my life. Literally. I'm a songwriter, singer, guitar player, and I also play the harmonica (don't laugh, it's harder than you might think). My life revolves around music, but where is the point where I need to stop the connection? Where do I keep them seperated? Music is my life, but I don't live in a song. There are songs that will describe certain moments in our lives almost perfectly, and there are songs that will describe our entire lives in a single verse. When The Music Stops is performed by Eminem and other rap artists, and I feel it points out how we take music to seriously/personally. Where does the music stop for you my friends? Because it doesn't for me.

Runaway

Song of the Week is Runaway by Linkin Park. It's just how I feel about the week. One good day out of 7, how are those odds of having another good day? I want to know the answers, no more lies. I want to know the truth instead of wondering why. The truth is often denied to us by those who call themselves our friends because their afraid of hurting us. What they don't realize is that lying hurts more after they find out you lied. I don't know what the band was thinking when they wrote this song, but they obviously didn't want to be wherever the hell they were. I think there is a close relation to this song and Numb, also by Linkin Park. Although the songs were released on different albums and could be compared as different types of music, there seems to be a link between the songs. That's just my interpretation. So, "Bitches and gentleman" what's your song of the week?

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I have managed to lose, or rather toss out, two friendships in not even 24 hours. Way to go Virus, you amazing fuck up. There is no such word as friend, take a lesson from me, you don't need anybody but yourself. You don't need God/Gods, you don't need friends, family, none of that. In the end, you'll end up sad, hurt, and alone. So today's song is Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day, because whether we like it or not, we're all on our own little lonely road. Hope your song is better than mine. Song of the week later today.

I Will Not Bow

Today's song is I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin. Because it's about being real, that's my interpretation at least. If you pay attention to the words, Ben even says he's not fake. This was the song used to advertise Surrogates, as you can plainly see in the music video. Surrogates, for those of you that don't know, is about a society where the people don't actually live as themselves, but as robotic androids that they link up with to go about their daily lives. One man, played by Bruce Willis, decides "fuck the robot" and finds an entire plot to kill anyone using a surrogate, and shut them down permanently. I won't ruin the end of the movie for you, but you should definitely watch it. So, what's your song of the day? I encourage you to subscribe and let me know what you think should be the song of the day. I welcome any and all (exluding Justin Beiber, Lady GaGa, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, or anything else made popular by Disney, Twilight, or Poptarts.) music. Song of the Week will be posted either tomorrow or today, you'll find out.

Just To Get High

A friend of mine was trying to convince me to try "illegal substances" (drugs) today, I told him that I've thought about it but that I've never tried and don't plan to. This song came up on my mix today, and it reminds me of what can happen just by doing something once. So todays song is Just to Get High by Nickleback. It's a pretty basic song, but it's one of my favorites and it sends a message to our youth. Drugs ruin lives. A friend of mine experienced this firsthand. He started doing drugs and showing up to class high. Halfway through the year drug dogs were brought in to check his locker and all of his classes. He dropped out after that and I haven't heard from him since. Drugs fuck people up. So don't do them.

Get Happy

The song of the day is Get Happy by Bowling For Soup, inspired by a friend. I'm not the happiest guy in the world, I'm actually kind of depressed. Ignoring that the song is about a guys girlfriend leaving him, the song title is what applies most today. I'm the type of person that can change their mood just by changing the music, but I prefer the music that describes life how it really is, and the truth is; Life sucks. So with that type of outlook, it's hard to legitimately smile when I want to. So, I need to Get Happy. For those of you out there like me, maybe you need to Get Happy too. So, thanks for reading, again I encourage readers to tell me their song of the day in the comments section below, and please subscribe (I sound like a youtube video lol). If you see a song that you haven't heard, look it up. Later
