Spread-The-Music Meme: Write either the titles or post links to your top 10 favorite songs of the moment. Add lyrics to each one and a bit of a description for your fellow LJ friends. Tag as many friends as you can, and so on. Get others into new music and spread the music



I, for one, am hugely into music so I decided to take part in this meme. I tag anyone who wants to do this! :-) It seems like a great way to get to hear different kinds of music. Here's my entry! - Nicole

Songs

1) Le Prince Bleu by Majandra (Maria from "Roswell"!) and French singer RoBERT. Download here. This song is kind of dark... I love the feel of it. It's in English and French, too. I recommend it if you like Majandra, French, and/or haunting songs with a lot of a musical sound to it. Example lyrics: "Sent you to tears when pride first seized my womb / Post-morten's tune, my prince he croons"

2) Rock You Senseless by Jadyn Maria. Download here. This song is very upbeat and poppy. It was on an Herbal Essences commercial last year. I recommend it if you like pop music, like Ashlee Simpson-ish type music. Not that I like Ashlee, lol. Example lyrics: "Baby, I'm not another bad girl / Trust me, I'm gonna shake up your world"

3) Uh-Oh by Brooke Hogan. Download here. This song is by my dad's friend's daughter. She's actually pretty good. I recommend this if you like Britney Spears, she sounds a lot like her. Example lyrics: "I don't wanna push the subject, baby / but I just want you're loving / This harmony we can set it free / all we need is you and me"

4) Waiting For You by Kalgren. Download here. This song is alternative rock-ish, by a Canadian band that not many people know about. I'd recommend it if you like alt.rock like Better Than Ezra, Jason Mraz, Train, and bands like that. Example lyrics: "I'm holding out for something better / I'm holding out for something good and true / I'm waiting for you"

5) Rainbow by Elisa. Download here. This song is by an Italian popstar, but the song is in English. It's a very calming song. Very beautiful. I'd recommend if you like singers like Jewel and Sarah MacLachlan. Example lyrics: "When we’ll wake up, some morning rain / will wash away our pain / Cause it never began for us / It’ll never end for us"

6) The Way by Daniel Bedingfield. Download here. This song is by the British pop singer you probably know from the songs "Gotta Get Thru This" and "If You're Not The One." My sister got me into him, actually. This song is upbeat and has a bit of a Christian slant to it. I'd recommend it if you liked his other songs, or if you like a strange mix of Maroon 5 and Eiffel 65 lol. Example lyrics: "I really meant what I said, all of it wasn’t a lie / You were the one I wanted / But in the new light of the day, affection started to die / Our house of love was haunted"

7) Life In Three Parts by Highwater Rising. Download here. I first heard this song on the show Roswell, and if you've seen the DVD version of the show, it's in the episode "Independence Day" when Michael comes to Maria in the rain. It's a very calming, kind of sad song. It's a soulful and slow song, with great vocals. I'd recommend it if you like the show Roswell, or like bands like Dave Matthews Band, REM, and singers like Edwin McCain and Howie Day. Example lyrics: "She liked to change her name / She'd like to make up stories about places she'd never been / She'd always make me believe / I loved everything about her and she was in love with me / Why'd she have to go?"

8) Le Chemin by Kyo & Sita. Download here. This song is a modern French rock/pop song. They're pretty popular in France. I'd recommend this song if you like French or foreign songs. It's a really great song. Example lyrics: "On a parcouru les chemins / On a tenu la distance / Et je te hais de tout mon corps / Mais je t'adore" - In English it's about how the two of them are on this long road together (life, metaphorically) and how they try to hate each other but find they really love each other.

9) Can't Make It Good by Chantal Kreviazuk & Raine Maida. Download here. This song features Raine, the lead singer of Our Lady Peace, and his wife Chantal who is also a singer. This song was actually made for some Canadian indie movie. It's a haunting, slow song. Very...weird. But I really like it. I'd recommend it if you like either of them, or if you just want to try something different. Because I really can't think of anyone that they sound like lol. Example lyrics: "I know I just can't make it good / but if I could / show you the world and the way I think it should turn..."

10) Bom Bom Bom by Living Things. Download here. This song was on a commercial recently for that cell phone that is also an MP3 player and you see the shadow dancing like crazy next to the guy as he walks down the street. lol. It's a fun danceable song. I recommend it if you liked that commercial (haha), or like to dance. Example lyrics: "We go bom bom, bom bom away bom / Bom bom, bom bom / We're gonna take this city tonight / We're gonna shake this city 'til broad daylight"


Well, I hope people actually check these songs out and enjoy them :-) This was a fun meme.

Wow, that's a lot I haven't heard of. I'll definitely DL some.

And isn't Brooke Hogan, Hulk Hogan's daughter? I never watched the show, but I seem to remember something about his daughter getting into the music scene.
