Songs...

I'd talked about my musical tastes a few days ago, but it's funny how my tastes can run the gamut. And then, there are sometimes I hear a song completely randomly and it stuns me. And then I can't get enough of it.

I heard "Eternal Eternity" while watching Sailor Moon Crystal. It's probably my favorite of the Sailor Moon songs. I love, as well, how they'd managed to entagle the names Haruka and Michiru grammatically into the song lyrics.

The Count is my favorite Sesame Street character, and I suppose it's partly his OCD. His songs are incredibly catchy, and his songs are the only ones I really know by heart. The other two I know are "The Lambaba" and "The Count Goes To School." They're all so fun!

"WARRIORS" was a jolt. After hearing episode after episode of "Wild Ride" and kind of getting used to that, having this song, which I absolutely love, come on was welcome. It ends up being the theme song that has the most amount of episodes it precedes. I like how they'd played around a little bit with when they'd play it, too. Sometimes they would just start the episode with it. Sometimes they would start the episode, and then have something relatively shocking or pausing happen, and then start "WARRIORS." Other times still, they'd do kind of a "Previously on..." and, usually Anzu or Yugi, they'd narrate and then the theme begins. It's super-catchy.

I'd heard this song as one of those they intersperse PRI's "The World" with as the show goes on. I had to find out what that song was.

I'd heard "Blow" as part of a Vine clip, which was a little annoying. Thankfully, there were people in the comments who were also, like, "What is this song?" and there were people who'd answered it. I can't say I'm an immense Beyoncé fan. I know I've tried to give her some shots. I remember there was a commercial that had runway models walking and I was wondering "What is that?!" It ended up being the beginning of "Girls (Who Runs The World?)". It upset me that the rest of the song wasn't as entrancing as that beginning! I'm glad that "Blow" makes up for it.

I don't even remember how I came on this song. All I know is I'd heard it and was like this is the Metallica I know!!!

Yet another song I'd discovered via a Vine video (and a pleasant juxtaposition was it was a Supernatural fan's video featuring mostly Castiel). "TRKRTRT"!!!

So, that's a little jaunt into some of the music I like. There are lots more!

Chevelle

Ever since I was a teenager really discovering music for the first time (since most of it was either something I'd heard my piano teacher play at her house, Christian music my mother played, or oldies records my dad would put on), I'd had the sense that I was more of a songs fan than an artist fan.

Most people seem to be able to rattle off the artists they like and the heaps of songs those artists have done that they like. There are a few artists like Disturbed, Metallica, and Darlene Zschech who've done a handful of songs I like, but nothing comes to Chevelle. I'd discovered them and put them to my "one song per album test" (since it was that usually I'd only like one song off an entire album).

I liked every song!

They haven't failed yet. I own every studio, non-live album, plus a track off the live album they'd done with Disturbed, Slipknot, and a few other groups.
Now, yes, each album has songs I tend to favor more than others, but I like every one.

My most favorite Chevelle songs, though:

Hats Off to The Bull: Envy

La Gárgola: Take Out the Gunman

The North Corridor: Shot From A Cannon

Wonder What's Next: An Evening With El Diablo

Wonder What's Next (Deluxe Version Bonus Tracks): It's No Good

Vena Sera: I Get It

This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In): Get Some

Sci-Fi Crimes: This Circus

Point #1: SMA

I'm glad I'd discovered them and that they're so great.
