Friday I’m In Love – The Cure
Flashback Friday.
Remember the Cure? Oh yeah you do! The eyeliner, the crazy hair and the most amazing Friday song in history! Sorry Danny, Rebecca Black is not going to make my list. I love this song and it is cheezy, but c’mon aren’t you enjoying the video? It is so dated and ridiculous paired with such a great melody. It is a winning combo and so fitting for the first Friday in December. Enjoy!

Spidey’s Battle Begins in this Trailer for Amazing Spider-Man 2
The sequel to Amazing Spider-Man just dropped a trailer for us to droll over. The good news: Spider-Man looks like he just jumped out from the comics; the bad news: the movie doesn’t come out until 2014.
Don’t just take me word for it, swing past the jump to watch for yourself and see a few of my thoughts.
Wake Me Up – Avicii
In my quest for daily music videos I found this gem. Wake Me Up – Avicii has been all over the radio and has become a fast favorite for me. This song is high energy and when listened to in moderation can be just the right pick-me-up. It is Thursday and that means we need a push of energy to get to the weekend!
The video is fun and conveys a simple message of finding your place in the world. I have included the lyrics after the jump. Enjoy!
P.S. Anyone else annoyed at how much product placement is in this video? Read More…
Demons – Imagine Dragons
“No matter what we breed / We still are made of greed” – “Demons” by Imagine Dragons
Are you sensing a theme this week? I am trying to find some mellow tunes with uplifting themes. I feel like this week is about repairing the damage done to humanity by the start of the Holiday Shopping / Black Friday craziness. Damn people, its just a TV. Pop in your earbuds and chill out. I am here to help.
I have mentioned in previous posts that I love this album. Demons is one of the latest singles from this album and it is even holding its own on the top singles for iTunes. It has a message that seems to resonate with people and it makes for a great listen. Let me know what you think of the message in the comments section I would love to discuss. 😉
Dirty Paws – Of Monsters and Men
I love this song because of how uplifting it is. I am counting down to Christmas and this song has slipped onto my Christmas radar due to its inclusion in the trailer for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I really enjoyed this song when it was on the radio and it helped me to unwind from crazy work days. The song has a melody that is wonderful on its own, but the lyrics are a light, cute story which just chronicles forest battles. Point of this is… this is a sweet uplifting song and yeah…check it out.
This song is a huge part of why I am so excited for the new Ben Stiller movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It is not often that a soundtrack can sell me on a movie, but I feel like this movie will have a soundtrack on par with Zach Braff’s Garden State soundtrack. Enjoy the lyric video for this uplifting song.

Sweater Weather – The Neighbourhood
I am sure if you’ve been listening to the radio lately you have heard Sweater Weather. It has a mellow beat that manages to be upbeat… think The Postal Service’s version of Such Great Heights. The video for this song is basically the visual for the lyrics, which i really enjoy once in a while. It is a date shot in black and white which compliments and highlights the fun lyrics of this breakout song from The Neighbourhood. I am really enjoying the album and thought you all would too.

Rap God (Explicit) – Eminem
“I make elevating music, you make elevator music.”
Eminem is still at the top of my list for favorite lyricist. This track really accentuates his skill, I have the lyrics for you after the jump and I must admit when I read them it felt like I was reading a mini-epic poem. Well, length wise. Give it a shot. Read More…
