Duet

19. Everything Everything - Duet



I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired.

Friday night, don't ever let it end

17. Spector - Friday night, don’t ever let it end



But what could be more beautiful than a weekend in the rain?

Little black submarines

16. The Black Keys - Little black submarines




But everybody knows that a broken heart is blind.

We come running

We are happy.
We are free.
We are young.
The world is ours.
This could be our anthem.

15. Youngblood Hawke - We come running

 
...the sound, the sound, the sound when we come running.

C'mon

Would it be too much fun. if I posted their song with Panic! at the Disco? It would be the first time I repeated any singer in this blog, and maybe it's too early... but I have no clear rules for this, so I'll just do it!

And I'm seeing fun. live this Saturday, so expect more of them soon...

14. Panic! at the Disco ft. fun. - C'mon



May we stay lost on our way home?

All I want

Thanks again, Grey's Anatomy.
(This is the last song from episode S09E02.)

13. Kodaline - All I want



But If you loved me, why did you leave me?

No rest

When you listen to this song for the first time you don't see it coming, you don't expect what it turns into.
Really, you don't.
Then you simply love it and start pressing the play button like a madman.

11. Dry the River - No rest



Did you see the light in my heart?

Under the Westway

I have been talking lately about bands getting back together and recording new albums, but not all of them do the same.

After a six year hiatus, Blur reunited in 2009 for a couple of concerts. The positive reviews their comeback drew lead them to headline at several Summer festivals, but there were no news of a new record.
2010 brought their documentary No distance left to run, which earned them their first Grammy nomination (for Best long form music video), and the new song Fool's day. Still no news of a new album.
Early on 2012, despite them saying that the time for a new record had not come yet, producer William Orbit's tweets made it clear that the band was back in the studio. However, in May he announced that recording had halted. The pressure was too much, they didn't want to rush things and maybe they were not ready for the commitment an album involves.
Luckily, on July 2 they released the singles The Puritan and Under the Westway.

9. Blur - Under the Westway



There were blue skies in my city today.

That golden rule

Probably the most epic song ending ever.

7. Biffy Clyro - That golden rule



I wanna scream one last death medley.

Kill your heroes

Sail made AWOLNATION widely known, which was enough to make me want more (I'm an easy guy).
That led me to Megalithic Symphony, their debut album, most of which I must admit wasn't easy on my ears... at first.
I decided to give it a try anyway, and I started noticing that after each listen my feelings towards the record were slightly different, evolving from that initial what-the-hell-is-this to a hey-(I-just-met-you-and-this-is-crazy)-I-think-I-like-this.
While that internal process was taking place, Not your fault hit the radio stations, and suddenly everything changed: AWOLNATION were not a one-hit-wonder anymore, since that one was clearly their second hit.

A couple of weeks later, I was already sure that I liked Megalithic Symphony. A lot.
The album had a lot of potential, and I couldn't wait to see them perform it live. I had the change to do it last July in the Bilbao BBK Live 2012, where all my suspicions were confirmed: the gig was awesome, electrifying, fun, full of energy... a party from beginning to end.

AW-ESOME-OLNATION

6. AWOLNATION - Kill your heroes



I say ya kill your heroes and fly, fly, baby don't cry.

Runaways

Flamingo was okay, but Brandon Flowers is not The Killers.
It's been almost four years since Day & Age, but The Killers (all of them) are finally back!
Their new album, Battle Born, will be out on September 18, and after listening (over and over again) to its first single, Runaways, it's impossible not to be excited.

5. The Killers - Runaways



We can't wait 'til tomorrow.

Blindness

If I had to pick an album from 2009 it would probably be Metric's Fantasies.
It was the first time I paid attention to Emily Haines' band, even though I had unconsciously listened to it in several Grey's Anatomy episodes, and I simply loved it.
When I listened to the album's first single, Help, I'm alive, on the radio it was love at first sight (you know what I mean). After that came even greater songs, such as Gimme sympathy, Sick muse or Gold Guns Girls.

Something funny happened to me with Metric: one day I didn't know them, the next day they were almost everywhere! Zombieland, The Vampire Diaries, Entourage, CSI: Miami... and of course, again, Grey's Anatomy.
I still remember the opening of the sixth episode in season six...



2. Metric - Blindness



Send us a blindfold. Send us a blade.
Tell the survivors help is on the way.

I will wait

Beginnings are always hard. That is why it took me more than a week to get this post done.
The main problem wasn't this text, but the song I would choose to start this new blog: there are so many songs in my head...
My hunger for music never stops, and it's exactly that hunger what brings me here: I want to share the songs I love, I want you to tell me which ones are your favourites, I want to discover amazing artists I don't know yet and help you do the same...
I think my point is already clear, so it's time for me to shut up and let you enjoy the music.

For this first post I chose I will wait, the first single of the upcoming Mumford & Songs album, Babel, which will be out on September 24 2012.
It's a great start, isn't it?

1. Mumford & Sons - I will wait
 


And I will wait I will wait for you.
