Saturday Songs – May25, 2013

It’s the holiday weekend, and I really don’t feel like putting in a lot of thought to this, so here’s Lindsey Stirling playing the theme to Halo.

We’re delving back to the 1980s for this lost gem from Corey Hart.

Everyone grab your shades, because we’re wearing our sunglasses at night.

Concerts I Have Seen

Let’s take a little musical journey, one that’s a little bit personal.  Granted, I might not remember every concert I’ve seen, but I have been to a few.  So, lets start with the earliest one I remember

It was a bit of a dilemma.  Do I pick a song that is oriented towards comics since this is Free Comic Book Day?  Or, do I pick a song that is Star Wars in theme, since it is May the Fourth (be with you… sound it out).

I decided on this.

Enjoy!

Recently, I did a post listing five videos that I thought were a bit below par for the songs they were being matched with.

Well, this week, I’m heading back to the 1980s for a song that is just as sub par as the video it’s matched with.

This week, we are revisiting a band that I have had in heavy iTunes rotation since I stumbled across them on Youtube.com.  I would definitely consider selection a power ballad.

Here is Amaranthe with Amaranthine

Have you ever noticed that Queen‘s “We Are The Champions” is played for every winning sports team on television, movies, even in the stadiums?  It is used so much that it is becoming cliche to hear the song whenever anyone ever wins the big game.

Except, there really is not another song about winning that even comes close to working as well as this one.  So, it looks like we really have to accept the cliche.
