Entry 114-- "One (Your Name)"

Song: "One (Your Name)"
Artist: Swedish House Mafia feat Pharrell
http://youtu.be/PkQ5rEJaTmk
Comments: Another gift from an amazing person-- you know who you are-- that keeps getting itself lodged firmly in my skull. This song is epic on so many levels. I would have liked to have sat down and done a thoughtful, meaningful post for the final post of 2011, but this is late enough as it is. I'll try and throw together a post to wrap up the year tomorrow. As far as the song goes, it is epic. As far as the video goes... the keyboard-thing in the beginning? If it exists, (which I doubt,) I want it.

Entry 113-- "Amaranth"

Song: "Amaranth"
Artist: Nightwish
http://youtu.be/GdZn7k5rZLQ
Comments: "Amaranth" is a wonderful proof by demonstration of a variety of different ideas I hold about symphonic metal as a genre and music in general. One-- new isn't bad. (No, I don't wish to get into the "new" Nightwish versus "old" Nightwish debate over vocalists.) Two-- music videos can be art. Three-- metal requires crazy hair, no exceptions. Actually, the last one is mostly a joke, not a serious allegation, but it usually holds. More to the point, this song is wonderful-- take a listen!

Entry 112-- "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself"

Song: "I Just Don't Know What To Do"
Artist: The White Stripes
http://youtu.be/Snyxh8PtYkQ
Comments: Sorry for the missed posts, folks. Hopefully everyone enjoyed their holiday of choice-- I know I did. Moving right along. This is an old song that's currently stuck in my head. Good old Jack White's voice is distinct-- when paired with Meg White, there's no mistaking what duo you're listening to. Enjoy!

Entry 111-- Heart Week, Part 5: "Fight for You"

<3 Week, Part 5
Song: "Fight For You"
Artist: Jason Derulo
http://youtu.be/pV36OEBWRvU
Comments: Well, here we are, wrapping up <3 Week. So far as I can tell, this song hasn't gotten much notice yet. I've yet to hear it on the radio, and as far as I can tell, it hasn't charted yet, but that's irrelevant. This song speaks for itself. I love you, and I will fight for you. <3!

Entry 110-- Heart Week, Part 4: "Who'd Have Known"

<3 Week, Part 4
Song: "Who'd Have Known"
Artist: Lily Allen
http://youtu.be/XMTSsKhiBUA
Comments: No, T-Pain's "5'O Clock" did not come first, YouTube commenters. This song was first, and for the purposes of <3 Week, quite a bit better. I'll let the lyrics talk for me. "Who'da known, who'da known / When you flash up on my phone / I'd no longer feel alone / No longer feel alone." <3!
