Song of the Day: American Girl by Bonnie McKee (and covered by Alex Goot, Landon Austin & Luke Conrad

Heya!!!

So i really really need a break from my notes and i hop on you youtube and look at my subscription feed for something new to read and I saw Alex Goot, Landon Austin and Luke Conrad colab to cover of American Girl by Bonnie McKee in the suggestion box and guess what??? its stuck in my head!!! 3 days later the song is still stuck in my head :P

Keep in mind i heard this before i heard the original version. Alex, Landon and Luke version is very strip down acoustic and just chill and mellow which something I was looking for after stressing out on homework. The three voices definitely sync together really well. I really love watching their covers and vlogs (especially Luke's Awkward Girl story which are freaking funny!)

So later listening to the original version was definitely interesting. Fast pace and kinda pop/hip-hop, Bonnie McKee voice reminded me of Ke$ha and Katy Perry and in a odd way i keep thinking of Miley Cyrus "Party in The USA". or even Katy Perry "Teenage Dream" (one of my fav song by her thanks to Glee ;D) Somehow i didn't really like the MV... I don't know...i am kinda meh about it but i like the beginning of it when they were drinking Slurpee (my guilty pleasure :P lolz) that i assumed is mixed in alcohol... i think .. haha.

Anyway i later realized thanks to Wikipedia (and yes i am one of those who wiki everything) she is the song writer or co-wrote songs for Katy Perry, Ke$ha and even Carly Rey Jepson!

Well that explain the song style similarity :D

So... i hope you guys enjoy this song of the day  (which i really need to post more regular!). Maybe i need a more standard day to post song of the day's post???


Till then let me know what you think of this song. I am obsess with both original and cover!

What do you think of American Girl???? Original or Cover??? let me know in the comments below.

Till next time

Song of the Day: Andy Grammer "Fine by Me"

Heya!!!

So once again i have been MIA for a while on both my blog and YT (SORRY GUYS!!!)

Been busy revising for Exams and my first exam is on Friday!!! (WHAT!?!?! )

Anyway i thought i made a quick blog post on another song of the day.

Today's song is something i found on the Pandora app on my phone on the Train's (as in the band) station and its Andy GrammEr "Fine By Me"

Now prior to listening to him on Pandora i have never heard of him but he seems quiet popular that he was a guest performance on Taylor Swifts Speak Now Tour.

Fine By Me is one of those "happy go lucky" love songs. I love the the piano vibe of this song.

Its one of those up beat songs that makes me feel happy and drum my hands on the table like its an imaginary piano.

Andy Grammer music style kinda reminds me or Jason Mirz or Gavin DeGraw. Its a mixture of pop/R&B/Jazz with great piano and guitar beats.

I also love the music video but sad problem according to my friends back home is that its not available there.

Anyway i hope you all enjoy this quick Song of the Day post. I'll try and post once a week but no promises as i am still busy preparing for my finals exams.

What do you think of Fine By Me?

Till next time

Song of the day: Stay Stay Stay by Taylor Swift

Heya!!

So i have been a bit busy with uni assignments (and i am not even halfway T.T) but i have manage to type this quick little Song of the Day for you guys so Enjoy :P

Stay, stay, stay.
I've been lovin' you for quite some time, time, time.
You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad.
But I think that it's best if we both stay.

(so sweet :3) 

 The first time listening to previews on iTunes while shopping at the mall and this was one of the few songs that got me to automatically turn my heals and head over to get the RED album at JB-HIFI ( deluxe edition of cause! :p)

It's has this cute-fun-cheery-happy-lovely-feeling. It's also very country pop.


Its like how stay stay stay sticks in my head after listening to it (in a good way). Its very catchy !

This song starts off with a couple fighting and how they eventually fix their problems the next morning. As much as that someone annoys you, you're still the relationship as you know you are loved. In a way its kinda like Taylor's vision of a perfect relationship.

I think this will make a great music video as I think it will be funny at the "that's when you came in wearing a football helmet and say okay let's talk" part and have whoever is playing the love interest literally acting out that scene!

I kind of love this song more after reading a Glee Fanfic (my guilty pleasure :P ) on Ryder and Marley (I ship them!) that was inspired by this song!

Check out the fanfiction here! don't worry its a one shot one :)

Other than that I have been listening to it more after I saw Taylor singing during her red tour live on YouTube!

She looks so happy singing this! 

Now all i need is for her to make a Music Video with this!

Other than that, this song reminds me of Ours from the Speak Now album!

Song of the Day: Pumped Up Kicks by Foster of People + best cover versions!

Heya!!

So in case you guys don't know i live in a Dorm while here at Uni and currently my floor is having a Hunger Games inspired competition/challenged called ASSASSIN.

Now with the game is to basically "assassinate" people on my floor (we are grouped by building floor) and run try to "kill" our target! (and if you still don't understand my short horrible explanation GOOGLE IT! :P)

So anyways i thought this song Pumped Up Kicks by Foster of People should be a great theme song for the next few weeks... or days... or hours  ...

Now just a Disclaimer here what me and my floor/dorm mates here are playing is just a game for fun and there are no guns or weapons. Just a tap on the Shoulder and BANG BANG you're out of the game! 

May the odds be ever in your favour

This indie-pop hit sounds kinda lay back considering the story behind the song it traumatizing and the lyrics is very dark.

As weird as it sounds, i like artists who can make a song sound not what is suppose to like Pumped Up Kicks is dark but the song sound "hip" and fun and something you want to grab your guitar and dance around to.

 

I love when this song is sung acoustic. What's also odd is that i find that other artist have covered better version than the band but i still like original.

Now there are two other arties that i know have covered their version and coincidentally they are both former contestant of The Voice USA.

So first version i love is Dia Framptom from season 1. Now she didn't cover this on the show but i was fortunate hear her sing this live in concert back in Malaysia for her Asia tour (*nostalgic memory of going to my first concert here! ;"D). She covered it for a local radio station Flyfm and sang the "Striped Version" which me and my Dad (he is a HUGE fan of Dia) always look forward to when it airs on the radio! 

I love how her raspy voice sounds with this! She has this cute raspy voice and the way she sung it makes the song mysterious. 

The next is  Mackenzie Borge and from Season 3 and this he did sang it on the show as his blind audition song.

Now his version has a blow me away (HE COULD GET MORE THAN JUST ONE TURN! COME ON JUDGES) and he had added a country rock vibe to the song!

 

 

Overall this song is just a fun song to listen to. Its catchy and and Edgy in a unique way and its just something one can sing along or party to even though the lyrics it self is intense and creepy .The lyric is unique and the word can easily be playing in my head.

I especially love the bass melody.

you better run, better run faster than my bullet

Song of the Day: Superman by Joe Brooks

Heya!!

So a random idea pop into my head as this morning that i should do a Song of the Day section.

I recently found my ipod nano and i have re-discovered a good number of songs that i have not listen to in a while.

I love music and blogging so once a day (not EVERYDAY but just days i feel like it) i will post a song i am i have been obsessing or playing on repeat till I jam the iTunes repeat button (IT CAN HAPPEN) to share with you guys (Sharing is caring :P)

So for the past few days i have been obsessing over This guy and his songs!!!! *_*

Yup i admit i am a huge Joe Brooks Fan but i never really know who he was till he came to Malaysia a couple of  years ago and all the radio stations and stores were playing his songs especially Superman!

This song is catchy and kind of lay back. Its also very "cute" and sweet love song.

"Cause I'm no superman,
I hope you like me as I am"

Its about a guy who cares for a girl that he think he is not good enough for her. He may not be "Superman" but he hopes she will love him for who he is.



If any guy want's to confess to a girl he loves her and she loves music(trying not to sound mushy here :P) sing this! That girl will be head over heals on you (and she better keep him!)

ALSO the music video is amazing! Some people don't like him with the glasses but i think its cute (mind me i like guys with glasses :P).

What do you guys think of me posting Song of the day?

Who's the Superman/ Superwoman in your life?
