I was somewhat shocked and more than a little disappointed with the winners of some of these categories.  All of the artist listed are talented, but I feel like there were a few bands that maybe deserved it more than others.  Just my opinion...

Hope you guys enjoy this post and have a wonderful day!

Help Wanted!

As I was looking at my "List of Bands and Musicians" today, I realized that I'm beginning to run low!

Here is where you can help!

I had to use this one, it's seriously the greatest thing ever :)

If there are any bands, musicians, DJ's, composers, or overall music genres that you would want to see on this blog, whether it be in a list or a review, etc, drop me a comment on this post (or any post)!  Any suggestions would be super appreciated!
Hugs and cupcakes for all!

This Is Not My Heart...

Music time!

The Cab

Simple Plan
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No, you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Snow Patrol

The Academy Is..

This Century

The Spill Canvas

The Pierces
Two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead

The Veronicas

VersaEmerge

Tonight Alive
A shooting star once said to me
That things aren't always what they seem

Peace, Love, Music<3

Rite of Spring

Band list time! Here we go:

*I do not own these bands, these lyrics, these pics, etc.*

Angels and Airwaves

The summers gone, the years have passed,

My friends have changed, a few did last

the smallest dreams got pushed aside

The largest ones that changed my life

Attila

Holler at your boy

From First to Last

HorrorPops

Icon For Hire

I'm gonna burn this theater down

and pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line
Like "This is it!"

Lights

Motion City Soundtrack

NeverShoutNever

You're only as tall as your heart will let you be

and you're only as small as the world will make you seem

So when the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall

Just look on the brightside

You're roughly 6 feet tall

The Maine

The Ready Set

Yet another list of awesomeness!

I had a thought earlier. What if I made a list of authors and books that I enjoy in the same sort of fashion that I do these list? Would you lovely individuals want to see something like that?

Peace, Love, Music<3



The Scars Remind Us that the Past is Real

Band list time! I'm glad to hear that some of you guys do enjoy them, so I'll keep it going!

*All images found on google, bands and lyrics are property of their owner, blah blah blah*

 August Burns Red

BlessTheFall

(insanely good live)

Eisley

Please don't make me cry

Please don't make me cry

I'm just like you I know you know

I'm just like you so leave me alone

Killswitch Engage

Papa Roach

Rise Against

We live on front porches and swing life away

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Saosin

Seether

The Used

Three Days Grace

There you have it!

If there are any bands you think I should check out or want to see on one of these list, leave a comment & let me know!
