Song: "Violet Hill"
Artist: Coldplay
http://youtu.be/IakDItZ7f7Q
Comments: The other smash hit from their album Viva la Vida (the other being the song "Viva la Vida"), "Violet Hill" gets a good deal less media attention and radio play, but is still wildly popular-- for good reason. This song is nothing short of epic.

Entry 34-- "This Light Between Us"

Song: "This Light Between Us"
Artist: Armin van Buuren ft. Christian Burns
http://youtu.be/v42cqJa_Ras
Comments: Happy Monday, everybody! This song is one I recently discovered when I was trying to diversify my tastes in trance-- I'm a notorious Tiesto addict, and Armin seemed like as good of a place as any to start. In this number, Armin provides the beats while Christian Burns (a name Tiesto fans will recognize from the song "In the Dark") provides the vocals. A good (and catchy) song-- check it out!

Entry 33-- "Firework"

Song: "Firework"
Artist: Katy Perry
http://youtu.be/QGJuMBdaqIw
Comments: I was going to do a song by Pink, but ended up deciding in favor of this song for a few reasons. 1) The title requires bleeping out (think small children, and I have no content warnings up) and I don't feel like it. 2) Nowhere did I say that any song is one you won't have heard before. 3) I'm a fan of Katy Perry. That said, "Firework." The song is popular, gets way too much radio play, and is totally worth a listen (and a watch) anyway. Lastly, this song is perfect to conclude the "Feel Good Song Week." Enjoy, and happy weekend!

To all others, I give you a classic that you probably shouldn't forget-- it's a great song for when you or someone you know is down and the dumps and really needs their spirits lifted.

Entry 29-- "Another Way to Die"

Song: "Another Way to Die"
Artist: Jack White ft. Alicia Keys
http://youtu.be/icrNkmf9uyQ
Comments: The themesong of the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace," "Another Way to Die" is a good song in its own right. There is quite a bit of discrepancy on what order the artists go in, and how they should be listed. To be quite blunt, I settled on "Jack White ft. Alicia Keys" because I hear so much more Jack White than Alicia Keys. If you strongly object or have some sort of conclusive evidence in the debate, kindly drop a comment or shoot me an email.

Comments: Sorry this is going up so late. I really hate doing two electronic songs in a row, but I feel as though this is different enough from "Children" to make up for it. Also, I promise that tomorrow won't be a third electronic song. Right, so-- this song is one of my all-time favourite songs, holding both a great deal of sentimental value to me, and my praise as an excellent song in general. The video, too, should not be missed.

Comments: Holy wow, this blog has over 300 hits! As a special thank you to my awesome audience, I've decided to put up a weekend post. Boom Boom Guetta has the distinction of being one of the best remixes I've ever heard. I prefer the Explicit version (second link) over the Clean version (first link) for two reasons: A) I do not, under any circumstances, approve of song censorship, and B) the first video, while cool, feels like an advertisement for HP. That said, unlike many remixes, this doesn't have major structural changes to the song as compared to the original. It feels much more club-like, but considering that it's by David Guetta, that's hardly surprising. All in all, an excellent song-- check it out!
