trouble ♥

wow my third post already...

I must say my love for music seems to be unending because I firmly believe that without music you really do have nothing. In todays post ive decided to write about a song from the princess of pop herself Ms. Britney Spears. The song name is Trouble and well the title says it all.
Trouble is a really catchy bonus song from britney's latest album "Circus". This song has a really upbeat tempo that can be taken from the car to the club. It has a bit of house music tendencies throughout the whole song that give Trouble the energy it needs to be a hit.
This song talks about a girl who is into having fun and just living the life but at the same time wants to maintain reserved unfortunately the fun of the game doesnt allow it. She sings about a guy who shes knows is wrong for her but whom she just cant give up on. She lets him know not to get it confused that just because shes a good girl doesnt mean she can't be bad. This guy obviously knows what to say and in the end wins her over because in the end theres nothing wrong with a little bit of trouble.

concrete angel

For todays post i decided to write about a song inspired by a story i heard in class... child abuse is a very serious issue that seems to be more and more prevalent in todays news. It's something that needs to be discussed and talked about to stop the horrible traumas brought about by so many troubled people who take out there frustrations on innocent bistanders such as small helpless children.

Concrete Angel is a beautiful song by martina mcbride with a soft country style that resonates in the heart. It starts off with a catchy piano melody and continues with soft guitar strums taht carry the song to the melody. the song has minimal instrumentation and has more of an acapella sound until the piano comes in.

This song talks about a little girl who lives her life day by day being abused by her parent. She goes to school and says nothing of her homelife.Whats very disturbing about this song is that so many people know whats going on but chose to stay quiet and say nothing. Her teacher neighbors and classmates can see somethings wrong but continue to live there lives selfishly unwilling to question why the she has bruises on her body. Unfortunately, the song has a tragic end as the beatings sustained by the child take her life away and all thats left is the concrete angel watching over her tiny grave.

i hate this part...


So this being my first blog...ever i decided to introduce myself and what it is i will be doing on each of my posts. First of all my name is nikole and i am a huge music lover. Theres nothing like a good song to make you reflect on emotions and ideas that once made you realize lifes everchanging lessons. On this newly acquired blog i will be reviewing/interpreting in my own words new, old and in between music that i feel should be listened to by everyone.
I decided to make my first post on my newly discovered favorite song I Hate this Part by the Pussycat Dolls from there newly released album Doll Domination. I Hate this Part is a catchy song with catchy lyrics and wonderful vocals. It has a very reflective style to it as the piano seems to carry the song through every word. The lead singer of the group seems to really capture the emotion brought about by the words in the song. The backup vocals of the remaining 4 girls seems to really push the song to a new level of melodious enjoyment.
This song hits so close to home with me and I feel that anyone listening to it, if they really listen to it can identify with the meaningul lyrics. This song talks about a girl in a relationship who finds herself being the only one trying to make it work. The girl in the relationship finds herself giving up and decides to let him know how she feels even though it breaks her heart to do so. The song goes back and forth saying how she hates that she has to let him go and despite her knowing he'll try to make her stay in the end its whats best for her to say goodbye.
