She's still got a very good voice and this looks like a recent concert, so that's impressive. Not one of her famous songs I'm assuming, since I've never heard of it, but it's a really good. Not exactly a "masterpiece", but I think it's still a good song. Very well-structured, sang nicely. Tells a good story, too, but I have to say I got slightly bored of it half-way through. Not a pumping, dancey song and the song itself wasn't too interesting to warrant it being as long as it was. And then it picked up again at the end, so overall, good song. 7.5/10

Ray Charles is a dude <3
What a beautiful man.
And I love this song. Classic. Bluesy with a little Jazz shuffle in there somewhere. Some of the orchestral touches always remind me of an early Disney score lol. Beautiful lyrics and that minimalistic piano which comes in flourishes is so beautifully bluesy.
Gorgeous song.
9.5/10
Here's a song heavily influenced by the above song-
Queen- My Melancholy Blues
Not the best Queen song by any means. But I adore this little number. It shows such vercility and it really comes from the heart and shows just how conflicted Freddie was as a person. One writer, one voice. Beautiful <3

Really good song. Never heard it tbh, it seems a bit obscure but I love it. A lot of heart in his words. Not a big Queen fan honestly, but it's a good song nonetheless and I can appreciate for sho'. 9/10

I'm one of the few people who actually enjoy both Something to Die for (the album this is taken from) and The Sounds earlier stuff, which if you haven't heard it is considerably different. I love the track's use of shifting vocal levels in the chorus especially. It just all mixes together really well. 8.5 / 10
I expect this won't be everyone's kind of music, but figured I'd give you a taste of what I listen to when I'm writing. Literally the chillest piece of music you'll hear.

I AM SO RELAXED. I'M FALLING THROUGH THE CLOUDS! CATCH ME, CHILLED, CATCH ME!
Very lullaby. I loved it. Nice and chilled (DC). Exactly what I needed this morning. Those odd vocal beats drifting in and out and that shifting layer of gorgeous music on top. Mmmmm...
Love at @2mins when the layers come together again. Beautiful.
8/10
I'ma sharing one of me favourites---
Led Zeppelin- Going California

Awwww yeah  beautiful song. I wouldn't put it at the top echelon of Zep songs, but it is one that helps prove that even the back catalog of songs is fucking brilliant. 9/10 AWOLNATION - Guilty, Filthy Soul |

Reminded me a bit of The White Strips. I liked it a lot. Simple song. Nice little boppy beat. Wicked lyrics. In fact, now this song reminds me of Jamiroquai... The jam at the WOAHHHO bit was excellent. Ooo, I love a bitta falsetto.
7/10
Jamiroquai- Feel's Just Like it Should

I liked the song overall, but it got a bit repetitive towards the end. Loved the vocal style and the instrumentals were pretty great, though.
8/10
I know this is a live show filmed on a shake-y cam, but goddamn this version gives me goosebumps.
Glen Hansard - Leave

Really amazing vocals... And his acoustic skills are fantastic too. Not a big fan of listening to live things, especially when the quality conspicuously doesn't stack up to the studio version, but this is just really good imo. I definitely got goosebumps too. 9/10
Definitely not sentimental like your song Ceb, lol, nor is this a usual groove-tastic, electronic suggestion from me. It's one of my favorite party songs though, figured I'd see what y'all think *braces for negative review*

I have to preface this by saying that I fucking hate Mac Miller. No real reason. I don't know much about him, he just looks like a douche.
That being said:
I liked it. Quite a bit. Nothing too complicated, but it could mah feets a tappin'.
8/10
Now... for possibly my favorite band ever and their triumphant return:
The Killers - Flesh and Bone

How do you put a number on Paul Simon? Honestly? Tell me. Also, for some reason I've always felt like this song would be a good basis for a film, Forrest Gump style.

Dave Matthews is the man, MAN. Seriously one of my favorite musicians of all time. And this song is sexy as fuck.
10/10
One of my favorite live bands ever.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication (Live at Slane Castle)

literally my favourite live rendition of that song, because the intro for some reason reminds me of the king arthur and the knights of justice intro. it's also just a good song. 8/10
Hugh Laurie - Battle of Jericho

excellent, unique song. I actually really love Laurie's voice too, I think it's amazing when someone can be a really good actor and musician at the same time so to hear this song was a delight. 9/10
Using this song in the Eden 2 finale...

That was excellent. Always love some folk-rock/americana shiz, and this is a great new discovery. Loved his voice and the atmosphere they built up at the end was fantastic.
9/10
This band is a favorite of mine and the video is beautiful.

That opening sounds like a film score for a action film... Ooooo, horrible distortion on the lyrics. Very Within Temptation. Ahhhh, it's so genetic. Even the lyrics. Not that the lyrics aren't good, they are. They're just predictable. It's like if Bonnie Tyler was a male rocker, this'd be her song lol. It, er... It wasn't good. 4/10Mumford & Sons are currently number 1 in America, so suck it!--- Ghosts That We Knew  |
