(lovedrug - pretend you’re alive)
watch angels in the morning become a devil’s afternoon
I will panic in the evening underneath the crashing moon
so fall in love while you can still hold your head up high
and pretend that you’re alive again
Nice sequence! :D
1. My top 10 favorite bands. Top ten…. okay, let’s see. I’m warning you, I have the cheesiest taste in music! Also, I am including artists with bands. In no particular order:
Keane, Phantom Planet, Mayday Parade, Backstreet Boys (THAT’S RIGHT, DON’T JUDGE), Empires, Lovedrug (Michael Shepard has such a cool voice), Bon Jovi, Matt Hires, Frou Frou/Imogen Heap, and Thirty Seconds to Mars, I guess.
Honorable mention: The Black Keys, Mat Kearney, and Ok Go.
3. My top ten favorite songs. Oh gosh, this one is hard. Also cheesy and in no particular order:
- Mayday Parade - Champagne’s for Celebrating
- Switchfoot - Meant to Live
- Boys like Girls - The Great Escape
- Empires - Damn Things Over
- Keane - Black Burning Heart
- Youth Group - Forever Young
- Matt Hires - Honey, Let Me Sing You a Song
- 1969 - Wreck Me
- Lovedrug - Pretend You’re Alive
- Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah
5. Do I listen to mp3s/cds/cassettes/vinyls. I pretty much just listen to my ipod, even in the car. Sometimes if I forget to charge my ipod, I’ll listen to CDs in the car because I hate the radio.
7. Most underrated bands. This is so subjective, but I think a lot of my favorite bands are not very popular, so I would say:
Keane, Lovedrug, Matt Hires, Mayday Parade, Empires for sure…Imogen Heap sadly (she is unbelievable)…and Sherwood and Phantom Planet, too. Phantom Planet have had songs in commercials/TV shows, but besides for California, I don’t think any of their songs made it to radio.
9. The first band I really liked. Lol, the Backstreet Boys, of course! I was in love with Nick Carter. ;)
11. What bands my parents got me into. Ummm. Well, my dad mostly listens to Israeli music and my mom just listens to the radio. She loves Elvis, but I never got into him. Mostly though, she likes current music. It’s actually pretty funny, she knows more about current popular music than I do.

enidan replied to your post: It makes me sad when no one knows of/likes my favorite bands.
I’ve heard of Lovedrug before! I think I know one of their songs, hmm….
I’ve posted a few (the ‘x’ after the band name links to my Lovedrug tag). I think the lead singer has the most wonderful voice. It’s kind of nasal and kind of haunting and I just love it.

now, autumn brings the beautiful things,
where all you give comes back to you, like the crown upon my king.
your life’s a song,
so sing along before the silence swallows you and leaves you like a pawn.
watch angels in the morning become a devil’s afternoon,
I will panic in the evening underneath the crashing moon.
so fall in love while you can still hold your head up high,
and pretend that you’re alive again.
it’s friends that leave you here in the end,
so hold your head up high and pretend that you’re alive.

This song is so beautiful, it makes my heart ache.
