Well, sorry for being lazy. I have been hiding in my hole for sometime. Heehee... You can see from my Last.fm account on the sidebar that I have been online and listening to music - just not blogging yet. :)

But hey, worry not! I have some good finds! Including this new band that I have been obsessing over lately.

Featured band: Wakey!Wakey! [Mike Grubbs as lead singer] (Indie)

I came across Mike Grubbs while watching One Tree Hill this year. Don't you just love how One Tree Hill introduces great musical finds? Music is perhaps the main reason why I still watch the show after all these years. I do not like how the show is headed for, actually, but when the show closes, I wonder where I can find new music finds? :)

Anyway, Mike Grubbs. I do not know much about this singer or anything about his band, Wakey!Wakey! A Wiki page has not yet been made. However, I know that this is a relatively new band that has done covers and some raw material on Myspace.

What I love, love, love, love about the songs of Wakey!Wakey! is the instrumental parts, the deep lyrics, and Grubbs' voice. Dude! You must listen! This is why I have shared a playlist instead of my one song per post. You must totally, definitely, shouldly spend time listening a few of their tracks.

My favorite tracks / songs so far are the following:

Other than that, I still love listening to the rest of the songs. I guess I just could not FAVE everything. Almost everything anyway. ;)

Sorry for the absence guys. I was a wee bit busy. Anyway, here's my latest offering. I hope you like it! :)

Featured song: "Someone to Fall Back On" by I'll Can't Go On, I'll Go On ft. Aly Michalka [2009] (Indie)







The song is taken from the movie "Bandslam" that was released last year. The movie features Aly Michalka [Phil of the Future] of the duo 78violet. Vanessa Hudgens [High School Musical series], and Gaelan Connell [Law & Order, Chocolat]. The song above is one of the movie's band together with Aly Michalka. The movie's soundtrack actually features a number of really interesting tracks, including a cover of a song by Bread which I will feature later on.

I actually have this song on replay on my player for a couple of days now. What captivates me the most is the quiet intro that later blends into something more upbeat. Plus, it does not sound much like Aly. Heehee I like Aly and her sister, but I will feature them later on.

The tone of the song from the start makes me feel wistful or something. Like I'm flying a bit on clouds although the song is not that happy really. But it's okay. LOL You should listen, really. Whatever it is, I keep playing this song again and again. :)

Lyrics:

I'll never be
A knight in armor
With a sword in hand,
Or a kamikaze fighter;
Dont count on me
To storm the barricades
And take a stand,
Or hold my ground;
Youll never see
Any scars or wounds -
I dont walk on coals,
I wont walk on water:
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
I am not anyones wildest dream,
But I will stand behind
And be someone to fall back on.

Some comedy -
Youre bruised and beaten down
And Im the one
Whos looking for a favor.
Still, honestly,
You dont believe me
But the things I have
Are the things you need.
You look at me
Like I dont make sense,
Like a waste of time,
Like it serves no purpose -
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
And if thats what you believe you need,
Youre wrong - you dont need much,
You need someone to fall back on...

And Ill be that:
Ill take your side.
If Im the only one,
Im used to that.
Ive been alone,
Id rather be
The half of us,
The least of you,
The best of me.
And I will be
i'll be Your prince,
Ill be your saint,
I will go crashing through fences
In your name. I will, I swear -
Ill be someone to fall back on!
Ill be the one who waits,
And for as long as youll let me,
I will be the one you need.
Ill be someone to fall back on
ill be someone to fall back on
one to fall back on...

Greetings!

Wonderful Saturday morning everybody!

I'm feeling rather off today. I got knocked out by a sudden severe headache. I honestly have no idea what happened. Even now my head still aches. Anyway, I will leave you with this nice relaxing song I came to love last year.

Featured song: "Canalegre" by Sajama [2007 - not sure] (Instrumental, Indie)





I found this song while watching Ten Inch Hero. The band, "Sajama" is different from "Sajama Cut." I reckon this band is more of the indie kind because I really could not find any album from this artist, but I did find a Facebook page.

I really love the beat and melody of the song. The first time I heard this song, I felt like I was transported to somewhere relaxing - somewhere I have not been in a long time. I remember this particular song because I blogged about my daydream in my Tumblr account, and my entry went:

I am at the office, but my mind is somewhere else.

Today, we take a trip to the beach, where the breeze is chilly, the sun is tucked behind some blue-gray clouds, and waves are mild yet frothing.

Sounds of Conga drums and guitar strings waft through the air, and somebody is playing a bamboo flute somewhere ...

And I am perched on the cold sea wall.. staring into the blue.

*closes eyes*

Hehehe I think I was doing overtime work that day, and I got tired of the four walls that restricted me.

Anyway, that is what I feel like today. Hopefully I will snap out of this.

Talk to you later folks! Enjoy your weekend!!
