My obsession

Lately have been obsessed with video, mostly Pokemon. So one day I was looking online and found a really good Pokemon medley.

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. 
Yeah you. 
Caught me.

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

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.

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

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.  

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.

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.

Information About my Blog (my first blog post)

Hi my name is Brooke and this is my blog about music. The reason I decide to make my blog about music because music has helped me though so much. I was think about what I am going to post on my blog. I thought of just writing band or artist reviews every week but then i thought of an even better idea. So i was sitting in class think of ways to make it more creative and interesting. I thought of having a different theme every week. That is a good idea but I know I could do better. Then I thought of having a different theme every week, but the theme would be related to the days of the week and would be posted on that day. I know this sounds confusing but let me explain it more. Here are the themes for the days of the week.


Monday- music video

Tuesday- try something new

Wednesday- what to listen to

Thursday- throwback

Friday- Fact

Saturday- survey

Sunday- surprise


So on the first week I would post my blog post on Monday and it would be about music videos and the next week I would post my blog post on Tuesday and the theme would be try something new. It will continue this pattern for 7 weeks then start over again. so let me explain a little more about the themes. So for Monday I am going to review music popular music videos. I am going to talk about what the video is trying to say and what I think about the music. On Tuesday, I am going to write about bands or artist that you may have not have heard of. The bands or artist could be local. On Wednesday, I am going to tell you bands, artist, songs to listen to for what mood you are in. For example, you could be in a sad mood and I will give you a playlist of songs to listen that are sad as well. On Thursday, I am going to review old bands/artists from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s(. On Friday, I am going to give facts and a biography of a band or artist. On Sunday, I am going to pick a few bands or artist and talk about what one I like better and why. I am also going to put a poll so people can vote too. On Sunday, I am going to make it a surprise. It could be a review about a band/artist or it could be about the tours stop for a band/artist.

I hope you enjoy my blog cause I know I will have lots of time writing it. Bye and hope to see you all next week.
