Week #5, Music Spotlight

Wow, it's another Friday already!  I haven't blogged in a week, but that may be a good thing.  Haha

Let's see, since it's Friday that means I have music to share!  Since this week I have not spent much time on YouTube, I'll dig up some trance and techno songs from my iTunes library.  Consider these the "best" from the songs I've gathered over the years in my opinion.

Starting with number one, a classic Benny Benassi Song.
#1) Come Fly Away
        Benny Benassi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7YhC99qx6M
Why I like it?  Let's see, the intense beat combined with the lyrics.  It's easier to say that it's just plain old awesome Benny Benassi.. Oh, and we can do without the robotic voices that Benassi occasionally uses (like in Touch Me)  I also like how it changes keys now and then in the song which helps the whole building feeling..


#2) Flashback
        Calvin Harris
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEHFnTrx1Jo&ob=av2n
I mentioned how awesome Calvin Harris is in my last blog, and here's most definitely my favorite song from him.  This sits at #3 on my most played songs on my iTunes, I'm glad I haven't posted it yet!
This song is a GREAT song to get into when you're in a great mood!


#3) Deepest Blue
        Benny Benassi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SBf-gru6ok
I do not know who did this song originally, but what does matter is that this song is great!  It's long and very chill.  But if you're in a room next to parents, probably obnoxious because of the constant bass thumping throughout the song.  Give it some time, let it build, it's a great song!


#4) Resurrection
        PPK
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om6msXbGk0Y
Can't say much about this, other than it's lyric-less.. meaning, great beats.
Another songs that "builds", meaning don't turn it off right after the first thirty sec!


#5) Hiding All The Stars
        Chicane
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTcbxEypUc&ob=av3n
This song is so motivating!  I'd put this into the workout category.  The beat is strong, the lyrics have great meaning, plus the vocals rock!  Give it a shot, get pumped up and have a great Friday!  That's how I see it..


#6) Time of Our Lives
        Paul Van Dyk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbFXPCRg_tM
In this song, I like the fact that the lyrics speak towards the fact that there's a time in life for everything, and also that "this is the time of our lives", a cool concept if you bother thinking about it. (:


#7) Nothing At All
        Rex Mundi Feat Susana
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njo5o4kofUY
Wow this song is awesome!  I kid you not, this song has great beats, awesome voice, and a mix between the slow and fast parts in the song.  Did I mention awesome bass, give this song a listen and don't skim out after the first minute, like all trance songs they BUILD! (2:16 is the best!)

 
#8) You Used to Hold Me
        Calvin Harris
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzujNk-yYrE&ob=av2e
What do you know, another Calvin Harris favorite.


#9) I'm Not Alone
        Calvin Harris
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8TPXFoXO5A
This song competes with the others, meaning it's also a great song by Calvin Harris.  P.s.  He always has interesting music videos.. haha  I also love how it builds, it's definitely a song that gets me in a great mood.


#10) Pump This Party
        Benny Benassi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlw1Bfe37Ko
Just like the title says, pump this party!  This aught to put you in a great mood if the nine others failed to do so.
Finishing this week's list of songs off with some upbeat techno.  I would suggest cranking it really loud.. But that's just me.

Have a great weekend, be safe and have some fun!
Aside from listening to these sweet beats, I challenge you all to get off the computers, put away the iPods and cell phones and get outside! You may have had a rough week of school, so why not get out and enjoy the fresh air.  See a sunset, gaze at some stars, listen to the birds chirp (if you can find any).  The point is, we live in a GREAT town and no one should have a boring weekend stuck in doors!

If you're still stumped on ideas.. try the dam, try the Feather River, try the neighboring forests up near Forbestown, Feather Falls (you can hike there), or take a scenic drive up HWY 70 into the canyon!
