I'm Starving and Bored At Work, So Today's Song Is...


I'm not sure how I came about this song. But, it's absolutely wonderful. It's such a mellow, feel good, I-wanna-lay-on-the-beach-all-day song. Actually, his entire playlist on YouTube is filled with such wonderfulness. I'm currently awaiting such wonderfulness to hit iTunes so I can purchase it immediately :)

The Lyrics of the Day:

"Straight out of the O.C. Bitches think they know me. Everyone they go it's like 'O.M.G. it's you and me.'"


Not really the song of the day, but for some reason I can't get these lyrics out of my head, so I had to share.

In Honor of a Dear Friend

One of my best friends has been following this blog lately and she recently gave me some suggestions of songs I might like. One song being "Love Letter" by Shwayze. I listened to it and eh, it was ok. Not one of my favorites, not a song I would immediately download. But, that's not to say I don't like Shwayze. I actually love a lot of his songs, especially "Corona and Lime." And I recently discovered another song by him that I love, which brings me to today's song of the day:


It's got a fun beat to it and I find the lyrics to be slightly amazing. My favorite line being: 

"She tastes like cigarettes and alcohol, up all night on aderol."

With lyrics like that, what's not to love?

An Old Favorite....


iTunes (are you seeing a trend in the role that iTunes plays in my discoveries) introduced this song to me months ago (I'm thinking November 2010), so it's not really a new discovery for me. Perhaps it's a cover? I'm not entirely sure because the majority of Tyler's other songs are covers, so I'm not sure if this is an original or a cover of a song that I've never heard of. Nevertheless, it is amazing. I rocked out to it to work this morning, and just had to share :)

The Song I Can't Seem To Get Out Of My Head


I saw this song on i Tunes' Top 100.  I listened to it once, thought to myself "Oh, it's ok. I'm not sure if I love it." Listened to it a second time about a week later, thought to myself "Eh. Not sure if it is download worthy." 

But then, I couldn't get the melody out of my head. So a few days later, I downloaded it. Now every time that I turn my computer on, I HAVE to listen to this song. And then I just can't seem to get it out of my head. It's fairly amazing, so just give it a chance and it'll grow on you too :)

The Cover of the Week...

I absolutely love cover songs, especially when the cover artist gives the song its own flair rather than simply redoing it (side note: this is particularly true when an artist turns a fast tempo song into an acoustic hit. Love it!). It never gets old for me. So, today's song (and the cover of the week) is...


Ok, so maybe Glee doesn't really count as a cover. It's more of a soundtrack/musical version. But, they're still turning classics into their own. And maybe this doesn't really count as a new discovery. Glee's version was released months ago when it aired on one of their episodes. And to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Rent. But, the awesomeness of Pandora played the original version of "Take Me Or Leave Me" and I feel in love. And then I heard Glee's version and I feel in love even more. And now, I can't seem to get it out of my head.

"Take me for who I am, not what I was meant to be. And if you give a damn. Take me baby or leave me."

Thursday's Discovery:


So, it's hard to out discover Lady Gaga. Her music is always being released so quickly. It seemed to me that not too long after Born This Way, Judas, and now more recently, The Edge of Glory (all of which have been FANTASTIC!!). But, thanks to iTunes and it's top 100, I heard this song a few weeks ago. Perhaps, it's the next song to be released by her? Either way, I love it, and it's just another soon-to-be Lady Gaga classic.

And Today's Song Is...



I must admit, at first I absolutely hated The Pretty Reckless. Perhaps it's because  their music sounds a little darker than I care for or maybe it's because my hatred for Taylor Momsen's character Jenny Humpfrey on Gossip Girl runs deeper than I ever thought it would (I mean seriously, she does nothing but homewreck on the show). But, at the request of a friend, I gave this song a chance.

And now, it's one of my new favorites :)

The First Official Song of The Day

My first discovery:


It's pretty sweet to hear Steven Tyler releasing new songs. Love it!!

How It All Began

I've officially done it! I've been saying for two years that I wanted to start blogging. For a brief two days, I started a blog with two official posts. Sadly, I cannot remember the blog's name or the email address that I gave to the blog. But with all this free time I have at my summer internship, I've decided to carry out my goals. And so I've chosen to start (and continually update) a Song of the Day blog. 

I have an infinity for music. Whether it's stealing music from my friends, searching for songs I've heard in movies or tv shows, or simply searching on iTunes for the newest bands and the unheard gems of the music world. So, why should I keep all of these wonders to myself? Why not share them with the rest of the world (or the two or three people who happen to stumble upon this blog)?

And so, my blog (and daily discoveries) begins...
