Three Days Grace – Wake Up.

One of my favorite bands reunited with their original singer. In honour of this, I just HAD to include a Three Days Grace song this week. I’ve been been acting like an excited little school girl since this was announced… I’ve decided to take it back to their self-titled debut album from 2003.

The song I have selected is “Wake Up” and its a song about a rather dysfunctional relationship. I love how the songs vocals and instruments feel so raw, and real! There is a real storytelling element to which this band does so well. In this case they highlight that abusers don’t change and the receiver of that abuse is better off leaving.

The title of the song, I think in this case, nods brilliantly to the band’s potential. They are back again and have “Woken Up”. Although replacement singer Matt was never bad, the band was just lacking that spark. I’m really intrigued how they will now share vocal responsibilities going ahead!

Sonic Boom Six – Strange Transformations.

My playlist tends to change with the season, and as a huge fan of Halloween and all things horror, this song has always been a seasonal favourite of mine, well the whole album really!

St Jimmy

Jet – She’s a Genius

Saw these live the other day on their first UK/Ireland tour for the first time in 15 years! They put on a great show playing their first album in full with some extras, One of those extras was this song with a great riff and a short catchy chorus. Look out for the review on 17th October.

Iron Maiden – Run To The Hills.

I love how the main drum beat at the start makes you want to jump up and start running. I also love the powerful lyrics too!

Iron Maiden – Run To The Hills (All Rights Are Retained By Iron Maiden)

Lucky Luke

For Today – Broken Lens.

I like the chorus , especially the way it repeats and makes the rest of the song worth listening to!

    I agree with Run to the Hills. I know it’s not quite the same but just the title alone reminds me of my childhood summers in the Catskill Mountains of NY State I was always running to, up, and down hills or rolling down,

    Like the Iron Maiden one and the 3 Days Grace one, not much for the others though. I have Ghost’s Square Hammer in my head atm. And of course Green Day and blink 182… I was just thinking of Dookie and the design of the CD case and the actual disc. I also had Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket by blink 182. EOTS was a cassette though. Have you ever heard Wheatus? They mention Iron Maiden in this:

    Again, the punk-metal angle. 😛

    I’m anything if a wee bit predictable, altho I have been told otherwise. Heh.

            I miss when bands used to leave a secret song at the end of an album.
