music app reviews

This blog post is going to be reviews on apps that deal with music.

The first app is song pop. Songpop is an app where you play against other people. You pick the genre of music you want to play. There will be a little clip and you have to guess the song title or the artist/band. It is a fun game to play with your friends. What I really like about the app is the variety of music genres is has to offer.

The next app is garage band. Garage band is a great way to make music. If you want to be an artist or start your own band, this a great way to do. It has the functions for you to play the instruments on the device or chose from clips that are made for you. You can make ringtones and save it in your phone (if you have an iphone) and a thing that apple does not know is that you can use your own music and make it into a ringtone. That is better than spending the same amount of money on a 30 sec ringtone as you would on a full song.

The next app is a game called record run. This app is similar to temple run where you dodge obstacles but in this game you dodge obstacles to the beat of the music while you try and collect music notes. You can chose to play one of the songs already on the app or you can use your own. Right now this is my favourite game to play.

8 tracks. If you are an adult you probably think I am talking about the multitrack recording but no. I am talking about an app where you search up a band/artist or music genre. Example, I want to look up the band Green day, I would type it in the search bar, and it would give me playlist that other people made that have green day songs in it. This app is a great way to list to the songs you love and also experience songs you may not have heard before.

I hope you guys like this post.

new blog?

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I have a new blog. It is going to be about youtubers and youtube videos. Here is the link http://iamreallycrazyaboutyoutubers.blogspot.ca/. I hope you check it out. There will be new post up there soon.

Sleeping with Sirens review

This is the first week of review for the month of June. To start the week I decided to do a sleeping with sirens review because they are one of my favourite bands.
There was a time when I really liked pop music. But then one day I listened to Sleeping with Sirens and everything changed. Sleeping with Sirens is the band that got me to like pop punk, punk and more rock music.
My top 5 Sleeping with Sirens songs
1. with ears to see and eyes to hear
This my all time favourite sleeping with sirens song. It has a lot of memories attached to it. This song has two versions, an acoustic one and the original. I like them both but I prefer the original better. This song to me is about someone who has lied to him and that person who lied will get karma.

2. if you can't hang
 This song is about a boy who meets a girl at  seventeen. Later the girl cheats on him. He says that the girl was a big waste of his time. Later he meets a girl at twenty-three. He gives everything to her and she does they same.

3. do it now remember it later
This song is about living in the moment. It is about taking risks, chasing your dreams. It is also about not caring what anyone else thinks, just do what you want.

4. roger rabbit
This song is about that nobody is going to help you through all your little problems in life so you need to learn to help yourself and you have got to learn to love yourself before anybody else can love you. 

5.A Trophy Father's Trophy Son
This song is about  a boy who is becoming older and is starting to now wonder where his father is and why he left him. The boy thinks it is his fault that is father left. He wishes his father would just say he wasn't coming back or if he was, wishing he would make up his mind. At this point he doesn't know if he can even call it a family since part of it is missing. He always is thinking about the chance he may come back and they can truly be a family.

The first show is wee 3. I don't know if you remember it but I do and the only episode I really remember is the one where one of the monster get stuck in a garbage can.
The link to it is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEXsBCNGQAU

Is is show I used to watch all the time. The show is called toy castle. I thought it was all the characters were really cool.

The next theme song is from bear and the big blue house. A lot of you probably remember this show.

Another show is dragon tales. I used to watch this show all the time. I loved it.

Another show I like was blues clues. I like it before Steve left and know it has change so much and I don't like it.

Here is the new theme song

The next show is called art attack. I remember trying to make all the things he show us and the talking head and how he used every day objects to make picture

The last show is Caillou. I really like this show but now I find it a little annoying because I have a little sister that likes to watch this show.

Mayday Parade review

This week I am going to review one of my favourite bands ever. Mayday Parade. I really like Mayday Parade because there songs are stuff I can relate to and they are not like most pop artist that talk about drugs and drinking. I think that they are really talented, on their tracks or their live performances.

My top 5 favourtie Mayday Parade songs:

1. Terrible Things

This song is one of the most saddest songs ever. It is about a father telling his son when he met the son's mother, the best thing that ever happened to him. When he proposed to her, she said that she was dying. When she passed, he was so hurt that he didn't want his son to feel the same pain of losing someone. The first time I heard this song I cried. To me I think the mother had cancer and that is something to relate to because right now my mother is battling cancer.

2. Miserable at Best

This song is about a guy who moves away from is girlfriend. so the break up. But they never had there closure while this boy watches his girl go off with other boys. When they are still kinda at heart together because they haven't had their closure yet. Making the man miserable at best because he is not over her.

3. Stay

This is the first song I listen to from them. I was playing songpop (it is a app where you challenge other people to see who can guess the song first from a little clip of it) and this song came on. I really liked from the little snippet that I heard. I listened to the full song and fell in love. This song is about his girlfriend getting into an accident and is on her way to the hospital. He's scared of losing her and is thinking about all of the memories that they've had together. He's also saying that if she dies, or passes on he's not going to know what to do with all the love he had for her. He thinks she's going to die but he doesn't want to live a single day without her. The video explains this really well.

4. Jamie All Over

I think this sing is about a guy who is remembering a past relationship he had, times they shared together, and the dreams he is having about her. "Sunsets never were so bright/ And the skies never so blue." i think he's saying that things were so much better when he was with her and life itself seemed so much beautiful when she was in his life.

5. When I Get Home, You’re So Dead

I recently just got into this song. To me, I feel this is a song about a girl who is making new friends and leaving her boyfriend in the dust.

Throwback Thursday

This weeks theme  is throwback. So I am going to show you clips of 90's and 00's theme songs.


The first theme song is from Rugrats. As a kid I really liked this show. I watch all the movies and even the show called all grown up.

The next theme song is from Hey Arnold. The only episode that I can remember is the Christmas one where Arnold helps his neighbor find his daughter that he had to give up.

The next show is The Amanda show. This show was made long before Amanda's career went down the drain.

The next show is one of my favourites and I still like to watch it today. The show is Drake and Josh. I really like the theme song.

The last show is Danny Phantom. I like this show because I thought he was so cool that he fights ghost and he has super powers.

Lyrics: 

"Counting Stars" - Originally by One Republic - (Pokemon)
Lately i been, i been losing sleep 
I'm playin' X and Y, i'm in too deep
Take a break, look at my trading cards
Don't know what time it is
I'm playing. Playing Pokemon
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and i'll teach you (x2)

"23" - Originally by Mike Will Made It ft. Miley Cyrus - (James and Jesse)
(Jessie: Prepare for trouble!
James: Make it double!)
To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all the people within our nation!
To denounce the evil of truth and love!
To extend our reach to the stars above! 
Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!
Surrender now or prepare to fight! That's right!
(Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!
Surrender now or prepare to fight! That's right!)
James and Jesse 
James and Jesse
James and Jesse
The greatest team

"Let Her Go" - originally by Passenger - (Professer Oak)
Well I got a Pokedex from Professer Oak
Point my finger in the air like Professer Oak
Learned everything i know from Professer Oak
Got my starting Pokemon from Professer Oak
Wish i had bushy eye brows like Professer Oak
When i grow up, i wanna be Professer Oak


"Dark Horse" - originally by Katy Perry - (Espurr)
If you'd seen the things that i'd seen
Then you'd have flashbacks and nightmares
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
I have a blank stare like Espurr

"Wake Me Up" Originally by Avicii - (Snorlax)
Don't wake me up 'till it's all over
I'm gonna sleep 'til it's time for dinner
All this time i was blocking the path, then you
Woke me up with that flute
(flute music) 

Timber - Originally by Pitbull and Kesha - (Timburr)
Outside of town
I captured Timburr!
My favorite move, is Wake Up Slap.
Then it evolves
In to a Gurdurr

He's really strong
Ugly as hell

Burn - Originally by Ellie Goulding - (Chramander)
Charmander makes 'em burn burn burn burn! 

Wrecking Ball - Originally by Miley Cyrus - (Pokeball)
You claw, you drain, you make it rain
You fight, never asking why
I'll be the best, this is my test
I love searching far and wide
I spend all my time playing X and Y
I will always choose you. 
Won't give you away, not in Wonder Trade
I will always choose you
I'll catch you in a Pokeball
How did you fit into a thing so small?
You know i gotta catch 'em all!
Instead somehow you... caught me. 
I'll catch you in a Pokeball
How did you fit into a thing so small?
You know i gotta catch 'em all!
Instead somehow you... caught me.

Poem:

We used to be something surreal

Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge?

Every time that I look in the mirror

Today I met a man, sittin' on the corner

Storming through the party like my name was El ninio

B-B-B-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark

For so long now I've been coming to your rescue (got me thinking I'll get you)

When Rome's in ruins, we are the lions

I got your picture, I'm coming with you

Do you have the time

Music parody

This week I decide to talk about funny music parodies.

The youtube channel Barely Political is know for the music parodies. The do a segment called key of awesome. I really enjoy the parodies that they make. The channel has over 3 million subscribers and there videos get 8 million, 10 million even 58 million views. Here is some of there music parodies.

Grenade by Bruno Mars

Royals by Lorde

Wassabi Productions is another youtube channel that is famous for music parodies. But they do something different in there parodies. The parodies tell a story. In all there parodies it features a girl named Rolanda (who is actually a boy dressed up as a girl and played by Roi) who tries to win the heart of a guy named Alex. But Roland takes a too far and stalks him everyday. Alex does not like Rolanda at all. There is another character named Richard. Richard loves Roland. Richard does not really takes much and he is really creepy. Richard is Played by Alex. Here is a few of there music parodies.

Do you want to Build a Snowman from frozen ( in the music parody they changed the song title to do you want to be my husband)

One of my favourite parodies from them is Blurred lines

My first concert

I love going to concerts. I love the feeling you get the day of the concert and also how it builds as the time gets closer. I love the feeling of sitting in your seat wait for them to come on stage, the feeling when the first come and play the first song of the night. I have not been to many concerts but I have really enjoyed the concerts that I have been too and I really want to go to more.

My first concert that I ever went to was last year. I come home one day and my mom surprises me and said that I was going to Marianas Trench in thunder bay tonight. I really wanted to go see them because they are one of my favourite bands but I had no money to get tickets. My mom also said that my best friend was coming with me and that this was my birthday present. I remembered that I started to cry and I went and hug my mom. My mom had no clue I like the band and neither did my dad. My dad was the one who got the tickets and it was his idea about the concert. I got ready right away. My mom, my best friend and I, went into the car and off we went. When we got to the city, we stopped to eat at Swiss Chalet. I remember getting perogies and sharing them with my friend.

At the concert venue, are seats were pretty close. We were sitting in the middle on the bottom level. I look around and seen that some of my friends and other people at school were sitting at the back even though they got tickets the day they came out. When the concert started, there was 2 opening acts. One of them was Anami Vice. I did not know any of the songs but they were really good. The next act was Down with Webster. I was really happen they were one of the acts because I know some of there songs and I think they are really good. Now Marianas Trench was about to come on. There was a big screen that was on the stage. They played a little clip about a story. The story relates to there newest album. The would played more of the clip throughout the rest of the concert. They played a lot of songs for their new album and they also played older songs. I knew almost every song they played. I really enjoyed the concert and I would  like to see them again.

I hope you like my post about my first concert. Leave a comment down below what your first concert was because I would really like to know. I will see you guys next time

Themes and Days

I have realized that doing a theme every week that matches with a certain day is really hard to do. I have decided to not do that anymore and post what I want and not have to worry about making sure I get the post done in time with the right theme as well. Of course i will also talk about some of the themes in future blog posts. I hope you still will read my blog and enjoy the content that I will post in the future.

How to Play songs on Piano

This week I am going to teach you some a song on piano.
The song that I am going to teach you is welcome to the black parade by my chemical romance. You can listen to the song here. If the video won't play you can click the link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q9q6zl3WIs

Here is me playing the song on piano. Click the link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a3k9M1lxHw
I tried to put put the video in the post put it will not let me.

Ok now I will tell you how to play this song.

Opening right hand:
You want to play the opening in C4 octave. C4 is also know as the middle C.
For the opening you play G F# Up to B (In the same octave) E D G C B( in the next octave which would C3) E( now back to C4) A(in the C3 octave). Now you want to play the opening twice. For the opening there is no left hand.

Verse right hand :
D G D  G F# D  F# G D  F# G F# E D E C  F# G F# E D C D
C D G D  G F# D  F# G D  F# G F# E D E C  F# G F# E D C D

Verse left hand: While you are playing the right hand, you play the opening at the same time but in a lower octave like C3.
G F# Up to B (In the same octave) E D G C B( in the next octave which would C3) E( now back to C4) A(in the C3 octave).



That is how you play the song Welcome to the Black Parade By My Chemical Romance. If you still have trouble play this song, I would like to say that I am sorry but I don't know how to play the piano well and it even took me awhile and a lot of practice to get this song right. If you are still having trouble after practicing, leave a comment and I will try and help you. You can also leave a comment if you would like to see a video tutorial.

I hope you liked this blog post. I would love if you posted a link in the comments of you playing this song. Also leave a comment if you would like to learn more songs on piano and maybe I will do another blog post on it. I will see you guys next time.  

Update

I would like to tell you guys that I changed the music player on the top of my blog. I changed the colour from Orange to Purple. I also added new songs like some of the songs I have talked about in my blog posts. I plan on changing my music player ever month or so and hope to add songs from my blog post. If you have any blog suggestions leave them in the comments on any of my blog posts and I will put then in the next time I change my music player. I would also like to say sorry if there are any swears in any of my blog posts or the songs that I use.

Also go to vote on my poll. You have 10 days left to vote.

results of the poll

So I am going to tell you the results of the poll. There was not a lot of votes so maybe next time there will be more votes. The results are... Drum roll please.

There were 3 votes or 60% of the people voted for alternative music. There was one vote or 20% voted for blues and one vote for classical. 

So now I am going to start a new poll. The poll topic is boy bands. What is your favourite boy band from the 80s till now?

When I was growing up, my dad had a truck with a tape player instead of a cd player. One of the cassette tapes he had was one from the backstreet boys. Some of the songs on there were Larger Than Life, I Want it That Way and more. As I got older I start to like a new boy band called the Jonas Brothers. A lot of girls in my class like the band. Now one of the big boy bands today are one direction, 5 seconds of summer, big time rush. I never really like one direction, only a couple of songs when they were first popular but now I don't like them at all. I have to say that I am not really fans of the boy bands except maybe the back street boys.

I know that this weeks post is short but I will try to make it better next week. I would love to hear about what boy bands you like so vote on my poll. See you all next week.

What To Listen To- Wednesday

This week theme is what to listen to. So I am going to show you some songs to listen when you are sad.

The first song is stay by mayday parade. This song to me is about a guy and a girl that had a relationship that was very passionate but ended badly without any type of closure on either end , but now he's having a hard time getting over her, so he shuts off his feelings until he has more control of them. When he does manage to gain control he finds, but then his sadness comes up again and he really misses her. He tells her that he's willing to take her back only if she wants to, but instead she tells him she's does not want any contact with him anymore. Next he explains how he felt he was getting better and her actions are threatening to dampen his mood. He still loves her but has no outlet and regrets the original reason they broke up, and then he says he'd take her back and explains what's become of him and remembers their time they had together. Mayday parade has a lot of sad songs like miserable at best, terrible things and many more. 
I would recommend listening to this song when you are going through a break up. So of you are in a mood to listen to sad songs, listen to Mayday Parade


The next song is I miss you by Miley Cyrus. This song is about Miley's grandpa, Ron Cyrus, who died in 2006. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma and she wanted to write a song for him before he died. This song can relate to anyone who has lost a loved one.

The next song is scars by Papa Roach. This song is about getting tired of trying to fix everyone else's problems, but also having a had time because you care so much. You tear yourself open, so you can heal and be ready to do it for the next time. You can't do it anymore but you still care. You have to tell them, "you fix yourself," even though it is the hardest part. It's about trying to help someone who does not want to take you help but you do it anyways because you care. 

The last song is The Scientist By Coldplay This song is about a scientist who is so caught up in his work that he neglects his girlfriend, but realizes it eventually and wants to "go back to the start" and begin fresh. The music video shows lead singer Chris Martin driving with his girlfriend. They get into an accident, she goes flying through the windshield and dies. Chris just walks out of the car, out of the forest, and into a city. This is all backwards. The video was shot normal direction and then played backwards, while Chris sang the lyrics to the song backwards. This song is about how Chris wishes he could go back to when the first were together and when everything was perfect.


Next week I am going to do the theme plus I am also going to talk about the results from the poll I did last week.

What do you think?- Saturday

You are probably wondering why I am posting another blog post when I already posted one this week. Well I decide that I would write another one. This weeks theme is What do you think? I will be talking about my favourite genre of music and my least favourite. And there will also be a poll on my blog where you can vote on your favourite genre. 

My top favourite genres would have to be pop punk, punk, rock and music from the 80's and 90's. The thing I like about these genres is that very melodic and I like  to listen to when I am in a good mood, bad mood, sad mood, any kind of mood. Whatever mood or emotion that you feel there is a song out there that describes, talks about that emotion or event that has happened in your life or something similar to what you are feeling.   

My least favourite genre is pop. I do like some pop songs but a lot of them I find it just repeats the chorus over and over again. I also find that a lot of the songs that are pop don't have a really moving meaning, and by that I mean a lot of the songs talk about sex, drinking, and drugs. Also a lot of the people that sing these pop songs are not very good role models. Take Justin Bieber for example, he's been caught spitting on people, vandalizing private/public property, and lots more.

I hope you don't get mad at me for what I said and I am sorry if I offended anyone but I am just speaking about my thoughts. Make sure to answer the poll on my blog and I will write a new post next week.

Top Music Videos from the 80's- Monday

I was trying to think of a topic about music videos for this week. I was sitting in the car with my mom and she put on sirius xm on the 80s channel. The song thriller came on by Micheal Jackson. I then thought about how cool the music video was and how cool the dance was. Then it got me thinking. I came across the idea of talking about that top ten music videos from the 80's. I searched online to see what the top music videos are and on billboard.com then did on poll to see what people thought the top videos. As I was going through and watching all the videos, I thought that all the videos deserved the place that they got (I have not seen a lot of music videos from the 80s). I am going to tell you what I like about all music videos.

80's music has a big impact on history. It exposed us to hip hop, rap, and heavy metal.

Now lets get to the top ten music videos of the 80s

At number 10 it is "Rhythm Nation" By Janet Jackson

This video was made in 1989. This video is in black and white and Janet Jackson and her crew put on their military jackets. What I really like about the video is the choreographed routine. I think it looks really hard to do and I don't think I would be able to do it. This song was released on the album title Rhythm Nation, which is her fourth studio album.

Number 9 is Every Breath You Take By The Police.

This video was made in 1993 and was the biggest hit. It was US #1 for 8 weeks

At the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1983, this won for Best Cinematography. This video is in black and white. This video shows jazz musicians playing instruments.

Number 8 is Walk This Way By RUN-D.M.C. and Aerosmith.

This video was made in 1986. I really like Aerosmith's music because my mom listens to them all the time. The Run-D.M.C. video is the first that Tyler and Perry appeared in. It was the first time many young Aerosmith fans saw what they looked like.The Run-D.M.C. cover launched Aerosmith's comeback. 

Number 7 is Hungry Like A Wolf By Duran Duran

This video was made in 1983. I remember hearing this song in The "Far Far Away Idol" contest at the end of the movie Shrek 2 featured a performance of the song by the Big Bad Wolf. 

This was the band's breakthrough hit in the US. It's success originated from MTV, which had only just come on air, showing their video of the band in the Sri Lanka jungle

Number 6 is Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel 

This video was made in 1986 The video was directed by Stephen R. Johnson. I really liked how they used stop-motion claymation techniques in the video.

Now we are down to the top five music videos of the 80's



Number 5 is When Doves Cry by Prince

This video was made in 1984. Prince wrote this song for his movie Purple Rain. In the US, this was the #1 song of 1984. It topped the charts for five weeks over the summer.

Number 4 is Take on Me by A-Ha 

This video was made in 1985. I really like that the video changes from real to chartoon. The video was inspired by the transformation scene in the 1980 film Altered States. Every scene was shot live then projected onto paper and traced. I really like this song.


Number 3 is Girls Just Want To Have Fun By Cyndi Lauper

This video was made in 1983. Cyndi wanted 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun' to be an anthem for women around the world. I really like the bright, outrageous clothes that the girls are wearing in this video.

Number 2 is Like a Prayer By Madonna

This video was made in 1989. This video today has more then 10,000,000 views on the original upload and other uploads of it. I don't really like the video. I feel like the video does not have a good story and I find the video boring.


We are finally at number 1. The number one music video in the 80s is, drum roll please.

Thriller By Michael Jackson. 

This video was made in 1983. I remember when I was in grade seven and we had to learn the dance to this song. We also had to perform the song in front of the school  , it was lots of fun.

So that was the top ten music videos from the 80's. I want you to leave in the comments whether you agree or disagree with the top videos. I will see you all next week.
