love for a song

aryan and i were listening to a very old song last friday:Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard.it's a pretty upbeat song but we both agreed that "it's a sad song." listen to the lyrics, listen to the way he sings. no matter now fast a song is, it can be classified as sad. and that's one of the reasons why i like Ocean Avenue.

i like a song because of:

1. the beat - i don't like slow love songs. i like bouncy songs, fast and upbeat songs. songs with a really great sound. that when you sing them, you feel great. ang sarap magwala. examples: The Suffering by Coheed and Cambria, Almost by Bowling for Soup and Basketcase by Green Day.

2. the lyrics - no matter how great the beat is.. if the lyrics suck, the song sucks too. The lyrics of Alanis are really amazing. they stick to your mind, and aryan said na lagi daw may pinapatamaan. some songs are.. parang pinilit lang isulat. but some songs come from the soul and the lyrics show just that. i also like songs that tell a story, like Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus. songs with funny lyrics also have a great impact on me, like Almost by Bowling for Soup. meanwhile, A Day Late by Anberlin is a song many people can relate to. the lyrics of Coheed are unpredictable..listen to A Favor House Atlantic, for example.

3. the way the vocalist sings - this is the reason why we defined Ocean Avenue as a sad song. listen to it well. the way the vocalist sings.. you can feel the emotions. Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong used to sing that way too--you could see how he feels just by listening to him sing.now, he sings differently.wala na maxadong soul. The vocalist of Taking Back Sunday, Adam Lazara, really has a great impact on me. their songs are fast, upbeat, but his voice, no matter how loud, has another effect. sad, na parang nanghihinayang na ewan.


songs that completed all three requirements for me:
1. Time of Your Life by Green Day
2. A Day Late by Anberlin
3. You're so Last Summer by Taking Back Sunday
4. Dammit by Blink 182
5. Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus
