"Love is not a victory march..."

"... it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah."


I love this song. There's like 254545512427573970 different versions. (My numbers may be a tiny bit off... that's just a rough estimate.) Soo... After discussing this song and it's many versions with a buddy *cough*JamieTurner!!!*cough*, I decided to iTunes/Google/Youtube some of the different versions and pick my favorites. Top Five are as follows:


5. Jason Castro
Skip the first 27 seconds



4. Allison Crowe
I had never heard of her until I saw this on iTunes.



3. Kate Voegele 
Her voice makes me feel like I've died and gone to Heaven.



2. Jeff Buckley 
Most popular version on iTunes.



1. Rufus Wainwright 
I want to lick his sideburns.



I am now on the search for some sheet music for this. And if I could sing, I would sing this. If you don't think it's pretty, you have a terrible taste in music. Just saying.

This Doesn't Happen Often

I'm not a fan of rap music. Everyone who knows me knows that. However, I have found that Eminem has talent. Real talent. And I have also found that his new song that features Rihanna is downright amazing. It's gorgeous. I love it. "Love the Way You Lie": 





I have the sheet music for this, and I will be working on it next. I'll update on how it goes. Also, if anyone wants the sheet music, I can give links to where I got it and/or scan and email it to you.


In other news, band camp starts tomorrow, so my posts will probably be non-existent. Sorry. I'll get on it as much as I can, but I can't promise anything. There will be lots of pictures and hopefully videos too. Watch for them! :D

Happy, Happy, Happy Feel-Good Music.

Remember my older post about how music never fails and how it can make you happy and whatnot? Well, this is my example. This song made me happy this morning.





I like This Providence. Now, off to play my piano as it is a rainy day and that's what I do on rainy days. <3

A Cursive Memory.

If this is the last song I learn how to play, I will learn how to play it. I love it, love it, love it. 





If anyone has some sheet music for this, please let me know. I've been searching for the past two days and cannot find any. (*sad face*) Buying sheet music isn't fun, but I'll do it this once if it means playing this. This song might actually be one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. Thoughts? Also, I might have an actual good thought coming up. I'll probably make a really well thought out blog before band camp starts. Be watching for that, but don't get your hopes up. I'm kinda busy so it may or may not happen, just depending on how much thinking I can get done between now and then. 

"If I could turn the clock again, it's the same three words I wish I never said. The phrase that breaks a heart in two, because angel, I love you." -A Cursive Memory.
