Panic! At The Disco: I Write Sins Not Tragedies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc6vs-l5dkc It's a pretty good song. The song writer is also relatively brave to include the lyrics "What a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore". Though I did not realize the song was actually about an unfaithful bride, it was still a decent song. The tune might eventually get boring, but for now, …

Ariana Grande & Elizabeth Gillies – Give it up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDeTCcL2FrE Mildly sexy and cool, Ariana works well with Elizabeth, stressing the "give it up" theme especially with "come here boy". The lyrics aren't too deep sadly...

Storm’s End – Break of Reality

Sorry to rush through my previous reviews; but I really wanted to get to the good stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuqFmxueiR0 Now, this is interesting and unique-- with the drum beats and the cello rock style, Break of Reality successfully displays an imagery fitting the title of "Storm's End". Though calm, its strong minor key hints at the …

X Ambassadors – Unsteady

*ahem* When I first shuffled into this song, I said, no more relation cliches-- but then I thought, ah you know what, this is slightly different. This one's from the point of view of a child. There's not much to say here, other than the fact that I missed out on the call out to …

Adele – Set Fire To The Rain

With relatively cool lyrics and a tune that isn't boring, "set fire to the rain" is powerful and sends a good message along with story about a relation coming to an end. Set Fire to the Rain is highly emotional, and I have considered adding it to my top 100 multiple times, providing tough competition …

Maroon 5 – Feelings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQKC_nrhHmE With an uber cool beat to support the song, Maroon 5 delivers an excellent pop song about how a person has feelings another but they are actually cheating on them (which I actually did not decipher on my first few listens). Though the chorus repeats quite a few times, it feels unique enough to …

Jennifer Lawrence – Hanging Tree

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKAM_Hk4eZ0 Though the lyric structure is very repetitive-- essentially the same verse repeated 7 times-- the orchestral build-up combined with creepy lyrics work well in combination. Each verse begins with "are you, are you, coming to the tree", then a story is told that a man was murdered then hung. It turns out the song …

Imagine Dragons – Radioactive

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO_WxYC34eM At first I thought this song was, "ready to rock you, ready to rock you", but then I realized the true meaning of the lyrics. As the prisoner steps out of jail, they are trying to get used to the new environment around them, although it is completely different. Perhaps radioactive means they still …

[MV] IU(아이유) _ Twenty-three(스물셋)

Cool in its own way, Twenty three shows off Korean pop with its unusual translation being something akin to showing the opposite emotion that one truly feels, pretending to be one that is not who one really is (fox pretending to be a bear).

Happier -Ed Sheeran

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWQN7u6g62c Dear Ed Sheeran, You sing and make me happier, you do When I get tired of boring pop songs, this song I go to But if this song gets old like other songs do Just know that at least for the moment, I was happier with you
