I can't begin to recognize the blackness in your eyes.

Neon Trees - Calling My Name

Love love them.Tyler sings like he doesn't give a sh*t. Awesome. Plus, female drummer. Props. This was like one of their earlier singles, not on their album 'Habits' though. Pity. Thank god for Youtube.

We could make a mess like no one knows.

The Ready Set - Young Forever

I love this. Not something you would expect me to like, but hey I'm really, really versatile. Plus, the lyric video is so cutesy! Bright colours and 3D wave projection thingies.

It's not just a feeling like some kind of call to the wild.

Trent Dabbs - Here We Go

Just a quick update but I have to share this song here. Love it, been on repeat for a while now.

The time don’t show when the sun gets carried

Young the Giant - Strings

I love how everyone's so laid back. Jamming in the middle of some swamp looking (?) place. Absolutely love how organic they sound, you can actually hear every single instrument. Gosh. The melodies and harmonizations are incredible. These guys are definitely one of the best indie acts I've heard so far.

Feed me the words to explain this urge.

The Honorary Title - Points Underneath


OMG Jarrod Gorbel, I feel you.
All your hopes and fears. Gosh. This is amazing. 


This song definitely goes into the soundtrack of my life.


What started as a crush became an obsession
It was the classic path
You've taken the weekend home, you're believing
That things are somehow getting done
But you're wrong, your wrong 
your wrong oh no

Now don't ever leave me alone, not this evening
I am cold and shivering without you near
I have begged and I have borrowed
From my friends, who once admired
Now they all have lost respect for me

[chorus]
Feed me the words to explain this urge
With pressure and squeeze, from points underneath
The streams in your skin are ready
cause I can, and I will, just as long as you instill
This fear in my heart
I just hope that you aren't alone
I just hope that you aren't alone

"Did I do something wrong?" her eyes start to question
Yes, you did something wrong. 
You just failed to mention

[chorus]

Hopefully you will see that the plans and the dreams
That we shared under this haze
They all wilt away
Hopefully you will see that the plans and the dreams
That we shared under this haze


You were wrong.
I just hope that you aren't alone

There's gold ahead, there's golden dreams.

The Rocket Summer - Hills and Valleys

I always have a thing for artists who sing with a cutesy voice. And this guy's got it down pat. Love it. Song gives you this adrenaline rush, makes you wanna go out and run like the wind. Seriously.

So I don't wanna dance alone.

This Century - Sound of Fire

New favourite song. Ha. The melody's simply too catchy. Love the bridge, escpecially. But the acoustic version's without that part. Check out the lyric video or the official music video below for the actual recording of the song.

My friends we've seen it all, when it made no sense at all.

Snow Patrol - Give Me Strength

Great song. Gives me goosebumps. Perfect, perfect.

I'm headed for the final precipice.

Switchfoot - Yet

And since when are they coming to Singapore? That's awesome. 2011 is a year of many, many good gigs.

We lived an adventure; Love in the Summer

Empire of The Sun - We Are The People

Awesome song that came on Sky.fm's IndieRadio just a couple of secs ago. Oh man, you can't imagine the countless number of great songs I discovered listening to that station. Indie heaven.

And now they're playing Jarrod Gorbel! This really is love.

Oh, I wish I had a suntan

Girls - Lust for Life

Gosh how I love finding random bands on Youtube like Girls here. Don't be fooled by the name, aha, there are in fact no girls in the band. They sound very hipster/vintage/boho-ish, kinda like The Drums? Perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. 

And the ever-turnin', spinnin' wheel Of people, places, lies

The Airborne Toxic Event - Numb

I've mentioned ATE before. And they've recently released another video! Love it. Both the video and the song. The black and white cut out effects really add a touch of glam there. Reminds me of those iPod ads. You know, the ones with the colourful backgrounds and black coloured silhouettes? Now, for the song, nothing spectacular but it's still better than 'put your hands up.. put your hands up..'

Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

Matt and Kim - Daylight

This song can brighten any day up instantly. From the opening piano jingle to that awesome drum beat in the background, everything screams 'happy'.
