Sing for the Sorrow

I believe that music defines a person. I bring this up because my other half asked me what my favorite song was and I couldn't provide an answer. There's songs I love because they are fun or because they express a certain emotion that just clicks with me. So I've been thinking, what would be my favorite song?

The first song to pop into my head was Never There by Cake.



It's a great song but really it's kind of depressing when you think about it. The next song to pop into my head was My Letter by Flaw.


Again, it's kind of a depressing song and maybe that does define me but today I was thinking about it and two other songs popped into my head. The first was Austin by Blake Shelton.



This is such an amazing song. It's what real love should be like, or at least at the end of the song. It's about letting going of someone and both of you just hanging on to the thought of each other and then finding out you both still want to be together. It's that kind of love that we all look for.

However another song pps into my head. Ironically ough it's another country song. It sadly didn't do to well in the States but was very popular in Canada, go figure. The song is When You Come Around by Deric Ruttan.




Much like the last song, this one shares the theme of waiting for the that person to come back to you. It's a little less romantic by the end but it's such a strong song that I can't decide which one I like more. The song that shows that hope is worth while or maybe the slightly more depressing song where the love got away but you're willing to hang onto the hope that one day tey will come back to you. I don't know which I'd go with some maybe it's a tie. For the record my boyfriends favorite song is The Power of Love by Huey Lewis & The News.



So what does this mean? Is everyone's favorite song about love, the one emotion we all crave for?

I didn't think this topic would take up so much space and I don't want to bog everyone down with too many thoughts at once. I've gotten a lot done in the past few days but I think I'm going to stink with the topic of music for this post and save the other stuff for another day.

I'm a big fan of My Chemical Romance and I've had their new cd since it came out but never got around to listening to it until today. I'd heard a few mixed things about it, their new sound either being hit or miss with fans. Personally I love the cd, well sorta.

The first half of the cd has a few old school vibe for the band which is great. The second half of the cd feels a little slower and a little less emo which isn't really a bad thing and honestly I haven't finished listening to the cd because it actually has 15 songs and I got the special edition so it has even more.

Despite thinking of this as one of my top 3 albums of the year I have to admit that the latest Taylor Swift single is one of my favorite songs to come out in 2010. Back to December fits right in with my two favorites, making a mistake when it comes to love and wanting to give it another chance.

I'm also a huge Rock Band junkie and this carries over into my spending tab for 2011 so I'm going to try and make this short and sweet.

2. :pc: Half Life 1 Anthology - 3.74
- Half Life
- Opposing Forces
- Blue Shift
- Team Fortress Classic

You'll notice and I'm sure as the days and months go by that I buy a lot of songs in Rock Band. I love to do the vocals which explains a lot of the cheesy 80's songs. These songs actually brought my Rock Band 3 song count to 639. I'm only missing one DLC disc, Track Pack 2 but I can't seem to find it. I also want the up coming Country pack 2 which has some decent songs on it that aren't available on the net work yet.

So what is everyone elses favorite song? Do you buy Rock band DLC? If anyone wants to play some time I play on the Xbox 360 and my gamer tag is Wolverinefactor
