MUMFORD!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!! Is all I can say to Babel the new Mumford and Sons album.  It is so good I haven't listened to anything else since it came out(besides what we listen to in class). The day it came out I bought it and burned a cd of the Album to put in my car, so I do not listen to anything else really.  I talk to all of my friends about it and have only found a few who are as hyped about it as I am.  One of my friends who loves them pre-ordered it and at 12 o'clock she listened to it for 4 hours on a loop.  But she has that time cause she is in college.... I would have done the same if I didn't have school the next day.

My favorite song is Babel the first song on the album. It is a great up beat song that starts the album off really well. The next song Whispers In the Dark and it is not a song that I like as  much as the others but, the way they sing it and the emotion they put in it is makes it a good song.

(I dont know if this is gonna show up as the video or just the link to click on.)  The guy who reviews the album shares how he feels about the album and points out to the viewer the emotion the band puts into their songs. At minute 5 he talks about his opinions and at minute 6 he tell about his website so avoid those unless you wanna know what he like about them. I don't think he talks about the songs I like enough.....but that's okay I will expand on the songs I think are important.

Now the third song is I Will Wait, it is a favorite of mine. It was a single and released earlier than the others so I got to listen to the song a lot before album came out and I liked it the first time I heard it. The next two songs I am gonna skim over, they are Holland Road and Ghosts That We Knew two good songs but not my favorites on the album. The next one I really like Lover of the Light, I didn't think I would like it cause its slow in the beginning, but in the middle of the song it gets more up beat and you can feel the emotion in the vocals. It is my second or third favorite song.

The next two songs are Lovers' Eyes and Reminder. I like Reminders a lot but its slow and not the best one, but non the less a really good and really short song, only 2 minutes long.  Hopeless Wanderer is a one that I want to expand on, I love how it starts off slow and then turns into a semi upbeat song. The way they use the piano to bring the song up to beat was great for me, I love it. A good side note is the instruments they use all the time, how not original they are like the banjo and even small instruments like the tambourine is glorious.

There Tenth song Broken Crown is so good. This is a song where they put so much passion into the song it is amazing.  I love this song I can really get into it cause of how they sing it. It is my second favorite song. I am not sure how to express how I feel about this song I have almost no words. There are the next two that I am having a hard time getting into cause there both slow and there just not getting my attention, they are Below My Feet and Not With Haste .

The next song For Those Below, It is only on the deluxe edition of the album and it is so good cause it doesn't sound like them.  It is not like any other song I have heard, neither on Sigh No More nor on Babel, it's so weird to me yet I still love it.

Finally the last two songs, I actually don't like them that much they are my last favorites. The Boxer is one song and my least favorite song. Where are You Now, is the other song and I think my opinion of it will change the more I listen to it, it's a little slow but catchy.  That is all of the songs on the deluxe edition of Babel and I absolutely love it, the passion they sing in it is better then in Sigh No More. The band has improved a lot since the last album as musicians even though Sigh No More is an amazing album, but they just killed it to me on Babel. Mumford and Sons are very very talented musicians and I think this band will only get better and better!

Beatles for sale

In Beatles for Sale it is a album where they seem like they are tired in the singing and I think it is there best album from the ones we have listened to.  I like the songs better.  Not anything specifically but I just like the beat in the songs and I feel like it was better than the others.  My favorite song is not on this album though. I was getting tired of the Beatles cause in class we listen to them so much and in other classes I have seen other movies. But I am actually exited for there next album we will listen to in class cause the discussion got me interested in it.

Toby Mac

I have not been listening to anything besides Mumford and Sons because there new album is almost here.....BUT, Toby Mac is a christian singer and has a lot of upbeat songs.  They are a lot of fun to listen to with some friends but they are better in person. He is a great performer and a good dancer.  He has some people apart of his band but he is the main singer. The best part of his concern when the two of the other singers jump up on a trampoline and  slam the ground at the sound of the bass and it rocked.  He has been the best stage performance I have been to yet.

beatles

In class this week we watched a different movie of the Beatles.  What I have learned about the Beatles is that they are really funny and are great at preforming.  They make good music videos in the movie and also have clever escapes from the crazy fans.  It is a lot easier to understand them in the movie rather in the documentary.  The movie was better than the documentary because they always had something going on in the movie and it was really funny.  The Beatles are my favorite rock and roll band they rock. <--(punny)

Mumford and sons

I have been listening to Mumford and sons for some time now, but now that they have a new album coming out soon I am listening to them more than ever.  I downloaded there sigh no more album (for free cause I'm a genus) and it is so good. My favorite song is white blank page it is a great song the lyrics are so good and what they say and I will let you see them.


Can you lie next to her 
and give her your heart, your heart?
As well as your body
And can you lie next to her 
and confess your love, your love?
As well as your folly
And can you kneel before this king 
and say "I'm clean", "I'm Clean"?

This is what I could pull up of the lyrics and the rest I would say you should look up they are really good.

In class we watched the Beatles movie and they blow my mind with how they play with the crazy crowd and how loud the crowds were. They are flipping prodigies. They are so funny when they make fun of the guy who mess' up the the name of there song. But when they play at the train station that is Crazy they just got off of a train and they just go and play right after they get off that is completely bonkers. The Beatles are awesome!

Bob Marley

So Today I was listening to some Bob Marley and I really love his music.  My favorite songs from him are: No Woman No Cry, I Shot the Sheriff, and Jamming. I like Jamming the most cause I like to jam and it has got a great beat and is a totally chill song.  What I like the most about Bob is the way he does his voice like in Lively up Yourself he does a crazy thing with his voice at the very beginning and I have no idea how to describe it but I would love you to check it out cause he is a Prodigy. (my opinion) I would put up a video but i have no idea too.  Bob Marley rocks check him out.

Beatles

In class today we listened to the Beatles album Please Please Me. It is my favorite album by the Beatles, my favorite song by them is Shake it up Baby. It is a good catchy/toe tapping song that is fun to listen to.  If you are into old rock and roll and you haven't heard of the Beatles...... First off you are crazy and second they have some really good songs that are fun to sing and dance to. (if you are the dancing type) Again Beatles Rock. Listen to them!

In our history or rock and roll we learned about Elvis Priestly, Jay lee Lewis, and Little Richard. There were more that we learned about but these were my favorite. Elvis' song hound dog was my favorite since I was little. I liked the styles of both Little Richard and Jay lee Lewis. If you are in to Rick n role, these are some good singers (really they are the best and one is named the king of Rick and role so they are the best actually)
