HEYOOOO. It's Saturday and you know what that means!
Mu-SIC, mu-SIC, mu-SIC! I can hear the crowds chanting now...Bring us music, or bring us...food. I'm going to go with music since electronically submitted food still does not exist...although I'm not sure why they haven't gotten on that yet. It sounds like a pretty big thing to me.
Anyway, here are the three songs for today. They're all pretty good if you ask me-I mean, why else would I be posting them, right?
1. A Little Opera Goes a Long Way-Sky Sailing
Ever heard of Owl City? Techno dance music? Fireflies? Well, Sky Sailing is the same brilliant guy who started Owl City, but it's a much, much, much more mellowed out style, very acoustic and very pretty. His name is Adam Young, if you want to find more of his music...and he goes under several names for each different style of music. Except rap. He doesn't do that-I don't think. Who knows. But anyway. A Little Opera Goes a Long Way is a great, feel-good kind of song. So go for it.
2. West Coast-Coconut Records
This is a bit of a sad song, even though it doesn't quite sound like it at first. Even though I haven't technically been to the West Coast, it makes me very much want to pack up my suitcase and road-trip all the way out to California, lay on the beach on a cloudy day and stare out at the waves rolling across the water. This is one of those songs that gives me a whole lot of nostalgia, but the good kind.
3. Holding On To You-Twenty One Pilots
Alright, I don't know what you have thought of Twenty One Pilots so far, if you've even worked up the nerve to listen to them yet...but this song is a pretty good display of their style. It's kind of all over the place, very upbeat, not exactly a steady style through the song...It changes a lot. And, most of their songs are pretty long (enough wiggle room to change a lot). But it's very, very good, regardless. All I have to say about this song is lean with it and rock with and stick it out to the end. Because my favorite part isn't actually until well over two minutes into the song. Oh, and there's a part I really like at the beginning about crossing t's and dotting i's. But anyway, I've said enough about Twenty One Pilots (but not really). Go listen to it. I mean, if you want.
Okay, so now that my plan of getting you to buy all of Twenty One Pilot's music-no...wait. I mean...my plan to introduce you to good, bumpin' and great, chill music is in place, I guess I will let you go to go find all theses tunes, and enjoy your wonderful Saturday afternoon.
I hope the sun is shining for you, and if it's not, I hope your day is shining, because you are shining, my psychedelic postage stamps. You are all brilliant, and I love you. Farewell for now.
