Rise Against
So there is this one band that my brother introduced me to, it's called Rise Against. Me and my brother use to listen to and jam together to Rise against. It was one of our favorite things to do. We use to do so much together and i miss it, he is now in the Navy woo -_-. life is dull with out him around. I remember one time while walking to youth group together in Bothell Washington, it was raining and we were listening to Rise against. then some idiot drove by and one of his friends was leaning out the window and yelled "Emo!!" at me and spit at me. The spit landed on my foot and i screamed. Travis, my brother, started running at the car descending down the hill yelling curse words at them. It was kind of funny and we still laugh about it sometime. when he got back up to me he asked if I was okay, i was laughing and told him to turn up the music.
I remember he use to always take me with him everywhere, we were like best friends and we told each other almost everything. He introduced me to multiple band, Rise against is one of my favorites that he showed me. Of course when he uploaded new music on my Ipod, i blurted out, "Put Rise Against on it now!!!" and then I jammed to them straight away.
my all time favorite song by Rise against is "Swing Life Away" it's really kind of a cute song if you really listen to it.
swing life away lyrics
Am I loud and clear
or am i breaking up?
Am i still your charm
or am i just bad luck?
are we getting closer
or are we just getting more lost?
I'll show you mine
if you show me yours first
lets compare scars
I'll tell you who's is worse
lets unwrite these pages
and replace them with our own words
we live on front porches
and swing life away
we get by just fine here
on minimum wage
if love is a labor
I'll slave till the end
I won't cross these streets
until you hold my hand
I've been here so long
i think that its time to move
the winter's so cold
summers over too soon
let's pack our bags
and settle down where pom trees grow
I've got some friends
some that I hardly know
we've had some times
I wouldn't trade for the world
we chase these days down
with talks of places we will go
we live on front porches
and swing life away
we get by just fine here
on minimum wage
if love is a labor
I'll slave until the end
i won't cross these streets
until you hold my hand
until you hold my hand!!!!
I'll show you mine
if you show me yours first
let's compare scars
I'll tell you who's is worse
let's un-write these pages
and replace them with our own words
we live on front porches
and swing life away
we get by just fine here
on minimum wage
if love is a labor
I'll slave till the end
I won't cross these streets
until you hold my hand!
Swing life away
swing life away
swing life away-hey
swing life away....
one of My brothers favorite song by Rise against is" paper wings"
"paper wings" lyrics
One last thing i beg you please
just before you go
I've watched you fly on paper wings
halfway around the world
Until they burned up in the atmosphere
and sent you spiraling down
landing somewhere far from here
with no one else around
to catch you falling down
and I'm looking at you now
and I can't tell if you're laughing
between each smile there's a tear in your eye
there's a train leaving town in an hour
it's not waiting for you, and neither am I
"Swing for the fences, son"
he must have told you once
but that was a conversation
you took nothing from
so raise your glass now,
lets celebrate exactly what you've done
just put off another day
of knowing where you're from
you can catch up with yourself if you run...
and I can't tell if you're laughing
between each smile there's a tear in your eye
there's a train leaving town in an hour
it's not waiting for you, and neither am I
is this the life that you lead,
or the life that's lead for you?
will you take the road that's been laid out before you?
will we cross paths somewhere else tonight?
somewhere else tonight...
and I can't tell if you're laughing
between each smile there's a tear in your eye
there's a train leaving town in an hour
it's not waiting for you, and neither am
and i can't tell if you're laughing
between each smile there's a tear in your eye
there's a train leaving town in an hour
it's not waiting for you, and neither am I
And there we have Rise against! love them :D

when ever I'm down or sad, all i have to do is turn up my Ipod and dance. Music is my muse in life, my religion, my life! Music is the best thing in the world, if it were not for music these days, we would say that the beautiful is dead. music can alter your mood from sad to happy, from bored to excited. Infact, I'm excited now!!! my Ipod blasting as I post this =D you see, things are just done faster when I'm listening to my music. My chores get done in less time when I'm listening to it. i listen to all kinds of music, no joke, on my Ipod it ranges from classical to death metal music. the only kind of music I don't really listen to is country, I hate that crap. In my music religion, country is like the form of the devil kind of hahaha. Did you know, if you play country backwards, you get your car back, your dog back, your horse and family back. It's also a proven fact that most people who kill themselves while listening to music, they are listening to country music. I HATE COUNTRY!! I am just not a country gal. Any way, music is amazing and the main component of my life. My block builder of my future. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for my major job when i graduate from school, but I'm pretty sure it's going to involve music. Like i said, music is my life, literally, i don't think i could function right without it.

Musician hero
Bob Marley is one of my all time heros, to me he is my one of the Greatest musicians alive ( er well dead Now accually haha). Bob Marley, a master mind in reggae music, made me fall in-love with music, over and over again. His lyrics are simple yet strong, they make sense if you take the time to listen. sure he was a stoner, and yeah he died, but his music will never die. It will always be remembered for years from now, maybe 50 years from now or 70 or even 100 but it will be remembered.
Bob died on May 11, 1981 at a young age of 36 from malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin disease.
Bob had injured his toe during a soccer game. Being all green and down to earth, he refused to go to the hospital for treatment. The injured toe got infected and turned into cancer, the lesion starting on his toe had spread through his whole body, causing melanoma disease. When he finally went to treatment in a last attemp to save his life, it was to late. He was bound to die.
His last words were to his Son Ziggy Marley, he said to Ziggy, " money can't buy life" and what he ment was for Ziggy not to get caught up in fame and fortune, live life, accually live it.
Ziggy is now a reggea singer like his father was. Bob also had 9 other kids.
Sharon Marley, she is a melody maker. Also the eldest.
Cedella Marley, also a melody maker and still makes music today. Mother of 3.
Ziggy Marley, musician and loves music. He shares and writes his music with his family.
Stephan Marley, second son of Bob Marley, he is a singer and producer and a multi-instrumentalist. Started out at age seven with ziggy and the melody makers.
Rohan Marley, played colledge football and professionally in Canada before he started focusing on family and buisness.
Karen Marley, she always had a passion for fasion, Karen was inspired by her grandma and also growing up in jamaca.
Stephanie Marley, works with family buisness, working on the project of Marley resort and spa.
Julian Marley, singer and songwriter, he has devoted his life to music.
Ky-Mani Marley, genre-blending, award-winning reggae-and-hip-hop performer and actor, he's been doing this for over 10 years.
Damian Marley, also known as"Jr Gong" Marley, a Grammy-winning son of Bob Marley, he combines classic reggae sounds with hip-hop, R&B and dancehall.
The melody makers was the band of Bob Marley's kids when they were young.
My favorite song by Bob Marley.....well there's two accually. And they are "Buffalo soldier" and "three little birds."
Lyric time!!!!!! Wooooohoo!!
Buffalo soldier, lyrics:
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier,
And he was taken from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta -
Buffalo soldier in the heart of america.
If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldn't have to ask me,
Who the 'eck do I think I am.
I'm just a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america.
Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Buffalo soldier troddin' through the land, wo-ho-ooh!
Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand,
Troddin' through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea.
Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america;
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Driven from the mainland to the heart of the caribbean.
Singing, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Troddin' through san juan in the arms of america;
Troddin' through jamaica, a buffalo soldier# -
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival:
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta.
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Three little birds, lyrics:
"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")
Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no!
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!
Bob Marley is an awsome guy and one of the best musicians in the world. He is my true hero!!! :D

crystal castles
Band members:
Alice Glass: vocalist
Ethan Kath: producer
come from, Toronto, Ontario.
Alice Glass: was born in 1988 in Toronto, Ontario. She ran away at age 14 and changed her name to Viki Vale. She went to live with a bunch of punks and drug addicts, and started a punk noise band called Fetus Fatal. A week after she turned 15, at a bar where her band was playing, Ethan Kath approached her after her bands gig. He had said she was the "missing ingredient" to his music
After talking awhile he gave her his CDs with his instrumentals on them that she soon wrote lyrics to. Ethan and Alice became the band, Crystal Castles soon after that.
Ethan Kath: Ethan is the main producer and song writer of the band. In his past he has played many instruments in many different bands. He has played bass, drums, and guitar. He was even once in an 2-piece folk band. The folk band ended in a tragedy of the death of the lead singer and band mate of Ethan. Pino Placentile. The crystal castles Albums I and II were dedicated to Pino.
Ethan usually wears his hood during live shows that mostly cover or completely cover his whole face. This gives him this elusiveness look. He also has gone by many different names like "Ethan Death", making confusion over his real name. Is current name is based off of a nickname Alice had given him, which is "Ethan Catheter". She had named him after "the most uncomfortable thing known to human kind."
Not very popular, if you ask anyone if they know crystal castles the answer you would get is "crystal who? Never heard of 'em"
crystal castles is an experimental electronic band. Most of their songs people consider noise and it's sometimes hard to under stand them. But I love the band to death and I'm exremely greatful to my friend who showed them it to me.
The duo is known for their chaotic live shows and have been together since 2004. Pretty new band, but their music is amazing!
Lyrics:
Crime wave-
Eyes lit
I want short breaths
I found dark eye lids
Nice breast
Like a summer into rough hands...
This one repeats,
Not inlove-
"Not In Love"
i saw your picture hangin' on the back of my door
won't give you my heart
no one lives there anymore
and we were lovers
now we can't be friends
fascination ends
here we go again
cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
i'm not in love
could it be that time has taken it's toll
won't take you so far, i am in control
and we were lovers
now we can't be friends
fascination ends
here we go again
cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love
