SONG REVIEW: Foo Fighters - Something From Nothing

Title: Something From Nothing
Artist: Foo Fighters
Album: Sonic Highways
Year: 2014

Something From Nothing is the FIRST EVER Foo Fighters' song I listened to. This track has been played every morning along with the credit title on my usual news channel. I've only listened to some of Nirvana's song but I can tell that Nirvana is a BIG influence to Foo Fighters (did I said it right? "is a big influence"? Pardon my English, Sir). Maybe it's because the Dave Grohl was Nirvana's drummer. But Foo Fighters still has something that makes them different than Nirvana and I don't know how to explain it. Personal taste, maybe.

I don't know why, but the first time I listened to Something From Nothing, I immediately remember Katniss Everdeen. Somehow this song reminds me of her accidental rebellion and how Snow threatened her. What the news channel never show me, however, is like the last one half minute where the music turned harsher, kinda like more... hardcore. Now I can't stop listening to it and... I dare to bet everyone who shares similar music taste as I do cannot either.

Well what can I say, I write poor reviews.

SONG REVIEW: Taylor Swift - Blank Space

Title: Blank Space
Artist: Taylor Swift
Album: 1989
Genre: Pop
Rating: 4/5

Let's be real, folks. I never really like Taylor Swift as an individual; I think she's a spoiled whiney little princess who thinks the world revolves around her. But before all the hate comes (and I know there's going to be A LOT) I must say that I am impressed with her Blank Space - both song and video. I wouldn't say that it is "genius" because there already plenty of people saying that and I'm sure you already know that but this (Blank Space) is clever.

By clicking the song title you'll be directed to another page that shows Blank Space's lyrics and there you'll see why I am fascinated with it. If you scroll down below you'll see Blank Space's music video imported from YouTube. Swift portrays herself in the way most of media portray her: a serial-dater, a psycho (ex) girlfriend. And honestly; those who think otherwise are just her Swifties.

Swift mocks the media and everyone who think she's a serial-dater and a psycho by exactly acting so. In the music video, when the poor guy come to her manor she dresses and acts all sweet and nice and for a while they live their happy ever after (Grab your passport and my hand / I can make the bad guys good for the weekend ... You're the king, baby I'm your queen / Find out what you want / Be that girl for a month) but then she caught him smiling while texting and she jumped to a conclusion that he's cheating (Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no / Screaming, crying, perfect storm / I can make all the tables turn ... Oh my God, who is she? / I get drunk on jealousy) and begin to show her true color: starting to act all extreme like shatter his clothes and cut his painting she just made around 90 seconds ago and crying and screaming and yelling and dropping his Samsung whatever to the fountain (which one of the commenters on YouTube said is actually waterproof) and trying to cut the tree where she wrote their name together like a thirteen year old girl. In this video, she's the psychotic villain and the guy is just some sweet innocent guy that did his mistake.

Ah, guys, I think I need to give Swift a standing ovation for this one.

SONG REVIEW: Sleeping With Sirens - Kick Me

Title: Kick Me
Artist: Sleeping With Sirens
Album: To Be Announced
Genre: Post-hardcore
Rating: 3.5/5

Let's be real. Kick Me's lyrics has been written again and again and again by so many different artist from so many different genres. It's about teen's angst towards the 'elders' and how they don't understand the teen's world. As a teenager, this is the kind of shit I like.

Yeaaahh I may have a really, REALLY bad taste in music, but hey, music is subjective. Compared to their latest album, Feel, this is definitely closer to the SWS I used to know (before, you know, the Feel age) even though the vocal and instruments are kinda different. By now I bet you already know I don't know what I'm talking about.

Let's talk about what I know. What I know is that this song is a GREAT IMPROVEMENT from Feel. Kick Me kinda reminds of the old days of Simple Plan where they also sing about teen's angst and disappointment and the pressure elders give us. To be honest, nothing new in this song; it's still the same from how we don't give two shits about what elders think to how they always try to kick us when we're down. But seeing that today's pop music are overall about being madly in love with boys and singing in the shower, I feel like Kick Me is a fresh air to breathe. It brings back the old school. And if you miss the old school post-hardcore kinda thing, I recommend this song for you.

 

SONG REVIEW: Senpai Suck My Ass - PewDiePie

The Falcon Lord strikes again! And this time, I guess he's tired waiting for Pewds-sama to notice him.

So he sent him a song lyrics instead.

I found the lyrics here, and if you want you can watch the original video here or just scroll down below because I also imported the video to this post.

The video thumbnail is a bit nasty if you ask me. Showing probably a girl's butt (it's Pewdiepie. You can never really be too sure) wearing super short pink hotpants and a wolf behind that butt getting ready to "suck" that ass. And if you take a closer look, the wolf looks like the one from FaceRig; yet another game Pewds has been screwing with.

The song, and I quote a line from the lyrics, "are desperation" - or in this case, is desperation (because I said song instead songs... get it?). The Falcon Lord is simply like a symbolism of Pewds' haters and spammers and trolls, basically. And he already done like three songs I think of Falcon Lord but last time I heard the Falcon Lord is actually already living happy in Africa as a giraffe and didn't bother us... UNTIL HE GETS AN INTERNET CONNECTION IN AFRICA.

I'm not gonna lie, like Falcon Lord's other songs that Pewds sang, this one is extremely catchy and funny. Yet, it also like captures the Falcon Lord's desperation of trying to hate on Pewds but since Pewds disables comments it has become a pretty hard thing to do. Well, yeah, you can still tweet him or whatever but, hey, it's not as "fun" trolling on Twitter like it is on YouTube.

If you haven't know Falcon Lord, I suggest you look for Pewds' videos about him. He's a troll. A giraffe troll. A desperately funny giraffe troll. Does that makes any sense?

Oh, and also, I thought that this song was going to be Minaj's Anaconda parody but apparently... NOT. However, Pewds' angelic voice and his awesome rapping really covers my disappointment. I recommend this to whoever wants to take a break from all those pop songs out there. And yes, including All About That Bass and its friends.

Send this song to whoever you want to suck your ass... get closer to God in that tight situation.
