The Killers - All These Things I've Done:
I have easily listened to this song over one thousand times and every time it comes on to my iPod I am still as excited as the first time I heard it. First, the passion in his voice. That is a given. Next, the way the song builds through the chorus of "I've got soul, but I am not a soldier." It just keeps building and building which results in a slight rush. Pretty awesome, but then, at the end, when his voice cracks with "over and end, last call for sin, when everyone's lost, the battle is won with all these things that I've done"... well it usually results in me running as hard as I can. Just a great song.
The Toadies - Tyler:
Okay, this a song that we will go ahead and ignore the actual lyrics for obvious reasons. However, once again, the pace of this song is what makes it so amazing. The bass, drums, and vocals are all pretty powerful. However, the song really is enjoyable at the 1:40 mark where the music mellows, then slowly starts to build for about 50 seconds until it takes off through the last two minutes. Hmmm... this is actually a hard one to put into words accurately. Maybe I just have a special place in my heart for this song from my Dallas days.
Kerli - Fragile:
This song would be amazing due to her voice alone. However, the music has a very dark, lost feel to it that is easy to get lost in. The lyrics also tell a story of sadness and pain that is captivating. All of this results, not in an uplifting "lets go for a run" song, but four minutes that of introspection.
Okay, that is enough for now. Hopefully, if you don't know the songs, you will take a few minutes to listen to them and see if they would make a good addition to your iPod.
Zeus out.
