Embrace - Nature’s Law 2007-09-06 07:00:55 I can’t believe I went this far with my music recommendations without featuring one of my all-time favorite bands, ever!
It puzzles me why the indie English alternative rock band, Embrace, have not received such world-wide recognition and appeal like similar bands such as Coldplay, Keane and Snow Patrol. To date they have released 5 studio albums. If you were to ask me, I’d say Embrace’s signature style of music, mostly based on piano rock, is a fabulous one that produced some fine collection of mostly amazing and well-crafted songs (check the recommended songs below). In fact, today’s featured song, Nature’s Law, is a true testament to that.
Nature’s Law is the leading single from Embrace’s latest 2006 studio album, This New Day. It was released a week prior to the album release charting at number 2 in the UK Singles Chart, the band’s highest chart entry to date (although there’s some controversy that it should have been a number 1
Travis - Closer 2007-09-04 07:00:53 Travis is a British indie pop band that’s been awarded British album of the year twice at the annual BRIT Awards. They’re often credited with having paved the way for bands such as Coldplay, Keane and Snow Patrol, all of which are all-time favorite bands of mine. I actually came to know of Travis when I was browsing a Keane forum site back in 2004.
Closer is the first single from their 2007 studio album, The Boy with No Name. I have to admit that very few songs of Travis’s material appeal to me, but this song was an instant favorite when I heard it for the first time. It has a gorgeous chorus melody that’s very heart-warming. Unfortunately, this is about the only song that stands out from their latest album, which forces me to file Travis under "bands with occasional decent records".

Ryan Adams - La Cienega Just Smiled 2007-09-02 07:00:40 Not to be confused with my other favorite Bryan Adams
, Ryan Adams
is a country and rock and roll singer/songwriter. I haven’t heard of him or his music until one of his songs was featured in the first season of Alias (yeah I know, Alias has given me a wonderful selection of tunes to post on this blog).
Admittedly, Ryan’s music did not quite appeal to me. However, the song I’m featuring in this post, called La Cienega Just Smiled, is an exception. When I heard it on Alias, it immediately caught my ears due to its beautiful laid-back and easy-listening nature. It’s a song to kickback and relax to. I hope you enjoy it.

Shayne Ward - A Better Man 2007-08-31 07:00:00 Here is a living proof that reality TV shows can indeed bring out talented singers to the spotlights. Winner of the UK talent show, The X Factor, for 2005, Shayne
Ward is just a musical wonder. Even though he may still be considered a youngster having produced only his debut album, he is by far way above the average. He has one of the most extraordinary voices I’ve heard in a long time. He also sings with such passion you can almost say this guy’s been through what’s he’s singing about.
The song in this post is from his debut self-titled 2006 album. It’s called A Better Man. It kind of reminds me of my old favorite Robbie William’s song: Better Man. Speaking of whom, Robbie has made a comment that Shayne Ward
is on his way to become a "future star". That’s big coming from such a international musical icon.
Overall, I’ll be watching for more to come from Shayne. He really struck a cord with me, and I’m sure he will with you
ATB - Justify 2007-08-29 07:00:00 Not a lot of trance artists are worthy of respect and admiration as much as ATB deserves. The German-born DJ, musician and producer of dance and trance music has proven since his big hit in 1999, 9pm (Till I Come), that he’s got the talent to not just mix records, but make damn good ones as well.
Need a proof? Check out ATB’s latest fabulous two-disc Triology. If there’s one word to describe this album and ATB’s music in general, it would definitely be melody. Triology is wonderful album that combines two worlds of electronic music, Dance and Chillout. It does so with an outstanding level of originality and melodic appeal.
The song featured in this post, Justify
, is from the first disc which is mainly up-tempo electronic and melodious sound with a unique rock and pop crossover flavor. The disc contains several more amazing songs that made it hard to choose which one to feature.
In general, Triology is one of the few albums I’d recommend you buy entirely (a
Coldplay - Swallowed In The Sea 2007-08-18 07:00:00 Coldplay is one of my all-time favorite alternative rock bands. There’s just no doubt about that. While most of their earlier material wasn’t so appealing to me, their latest record, X&Y, was a huge hit with me, as it was with the 1270+ customers at Amazon who rated it an overall score of 4/5.
Almost all of the songs in this record are worth posting. However, I had to pick the song that scored the most playback time for me. In this case, it was Swallowed by the Sea.
This song, apart from being a really catchy tune, contains a lot of meaning and symbolism, which can be interpreted in a number of different ways. Personally, this song holds a special meaning for me and that person who walked into my life and "made me realize what I could not see".
I also like the part where he sings:
Oh what good is it to liveWith nothing left to giveForget but not forgiveNot loving all you see
These simple words tell the story of how we as human beings strive for self-fulfill
30 of my best MP3 ringtones 2007-08-12 07:00:00
I’m an avid music lover, so I have a knack for spotting parts of songs that would make great ringtones. Since getting my Sony Ericsson K750i in 2004, I’ve been gradually building up a library of personally crafted ringtones.
The process is simple: when I’m listening to a great song and part of it just sounds like a perfect ringtone, I’d launch up my free and trustworthy Audacity. Audacity is a free, open-source audio editing and mixing application. Then I’ll load up the song in Audacity, find the part that seems perfect for a ringtone, cut out either ends and apply fade-in/out as necessary to perfect it.
Using this method, I’ve compiled over 30 ringtones from various songs in the English and Arabic musical worlds. It just occurred to me yesterday that I’ve yet to share those MP3 ringtones with you guys, so here they are. I hope you like them:

Vertical Horizon - Give You Back 2007-08-09 07:00:00 Give You Back is yet another great song from the soundtrack of the first episode of Alias. It was an immediate favorite and I had to check out the band, called Vertical
Horizon. I listened to more of their stuff. They play alternative rock along the lines of Goo Goo Dolls (another favorite band of mine, who by the way I haven’t featured yet!).

A. R. Rahman - Bombay Theme 2007-08-02 16:23:12 In time for my return from India, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to explore world music, starting with Indian music. When I was leaving to India, a friend of mine asked me to get some instrumental Indian music. Granted, this type of oriental music can be really soothing at times.
One of my training instructors was a music lover. He used to play music on his laptop until everybody gathered in the morning. I asked him once if he could recommend any such type of music. I was looking specifically for instrumental music, because as far as Indian singing is concerned:
I don’t understand a word of it.
It annoys the hell out of me (I’m talking specifically about those high-pitched female Indian vocalists).
So in the last day of training, the trainer played a beautiful composition that took my breath away. I asked him about the artist and he said it was A. R. Rahman
, an Indian internationally renowned musician, best known for composing film scores and soundtracks. Read more:Theme
Enrique Iglesias - Tired Of Being Sorry 2007-07-11 07:00:00 After 3 years of musical absence, the magnificent and talented Grammy Award-winning EnriqueIglesias
returns with an album that falls nothing short of its predecessors. Honestly, even if Enrique didn’t call this album Insomniac (referring to the many sleepless nights he spent perfecting the tunes in this album), one can easily recognize the amount of hard work that went into making this album a really enjoyable one. I really appreciate artists who put down the effort in making a decent record, and "decent" isn’t good enough word here to describe this amazing and varied album.
Stripping away the Spanish tracks that are mostly translation of their English counterparts in the same album, the rest of the English songs are so good that I had a hard time picking one to recommend in this post. I didn’t want to post all of the songs because I want you guys to go out and buy the album, because this way we can all show Enrique how we appreciate his hard work and dedic Read more:Enrique Iglesias
INXS - Afterglow 2007-07-09 07:00:00 Lately, I don’t think I’ve ever been addicted to such a fabulous song as in the case with Afterglow, INXS’s second single from their 2005 comeback album, Switch.
I’ve never been a fan of INXS’s punk act during the days of their late frontman Michael Hutchence. That’s why I stopped following their music. However, I recently heard an amazing song on the popular weekly radio show, A State of Trance, that was a progressive trance remix of Afterglow by Randy Boyer. The song immediately caught my attention that I had to hear the original version.
This song is perfect in many ways. First of all, INXS’s new frontman, J.D. Fortune, does a fantastic job portraying the emotions in this song with his talented and beautiful voice. The song itself speaks about a person’s respect for death and need to move on from the sorrow of loss. The lyrics are very touching and the music really drives the mood of the song as close as possible to the listener’
Anna Ternheim - Shoreline 2007-07-07 07:00:00 Sometimes simple is beautiful. With a "voice that cuts like a knife and sings about those feelings that hurt, so beautiful it makes you want to cry" (Karoline Eriksson, Svenska Dagbladet), Anna Ternheim takes the stage as our featured artist for today.
I don’t remember how I came to know of her, but I’m glad I did! Anna Ternheim is a Swedish singer-songwriter. She performs in English, and she released her debut album Somebody Outside in 2004. Following the release of the album, she won a Swedish Grammy Award for Best Newcomer, and was nominated for Best Female Artist, Best Lyricist and Best Songwriter 2005.
In September of 2006, she released her second album in Sweden, entitled Separation Road. I have yet to hear this album. Meanwhile, today’s featured song, Shoreline, is a song I really love from her first album.
Shoreline is a cover for a song originally by Broder Daniel. The mellow piano score in this song is just outstanding, and I just love the ending a
Simple Plan - Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?) 2007-07-05 07:00:00 I’ve never been a fan of punk rock. For example, most of Goo Goo Dolls older materials was in this genre. I think you reach an age where that stuff just doesn’t appeal to you anymore.
Simple
Plan, the band I’m featuring today, started out aiming at a pure pop-punk record. That’s very evident in their first album No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls. However, in their most recent studio album, Still Not Getting Any…, they were not limiting themselves to the punk genre, but rather letting themselves write just some "good music".
Indeed, today’s featured song, oddly titled Untitled
, falls under this category. The song is notable as one of the group’s more serious songs, and for the salient vocals and piano.

The Cranberries - Never Grow Old 2007-07-03 07:00:46 One of the things I’ve learned by recommending fabulous music for you guys is to always pay attention to interesting songs featured in movies or TV shows. I have previously featured several songs that are taken from the soundtracks of popular movies.
Today’s featured song is from the soundtrack of the immensely popular TV show Alias. I havn’t been able to watch the entire 5 seasons of the show when it was running, so I recently got them and started watching season 1. On the very first episode, a short but catchy song, by the Irish alternative rock band The Cranberries
, was featured in a love scene between Sydney (the main character) and her boyfriend.
I looked up the song. It’s called Never Grow Old. It was the first song on The Cranberries’ 2001 record Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (mmm!). Honestly, the lyrics of this song are nothing to write home about. What I mainly like about it though is Dolores O’Riordan’s whisper-like singing voice and t
Bryan Adams - Don`t Let Go (feat. Sarah McLachlan) 2007-06-15 10:12:11
BONUS: BryanAdams
& Sarah
McLachlan
Well I’m back with one last installment for the fabulous Canadian musicians series: a duet song by two of the artists we featured previously: Bryan Adams
and Sarah McLachlan.
Truth is, I’ve been playing lots of Bryan Adams songs lately ever since I wrote about him. I couldn’t get enough so I went looking for more material and I stumbled by this soundtrack he composed for the animated film that was released in 2002 called: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.
So I went ahead and watched the movie. It’s a pretty decent one that I highly recommend because it’s one of those few movies that (as a reviewer puts it):
In a time when Hollywood is making money by showing our weaknesses, despair, crime, drugs, and war, along comes this film which reminds us the concept of the "Indomitable Spirit". If you are feeling beaten down, this movie will free your mind and set you soaring. We all know how tough life can be, som

Day 7: Celine
Dion
When I do something, I do it all the way. I’ve been in show business so many years. I’ve achieved a lot of things.
Wow, I can’t believe I made it! What a wonderful week it’s been featuring hit songs from fabulous Canadian musicians. It’s our last day and as you can see, I’ve saved the best for last!
Whether Celine Dion
is your favorite one among the other 6 artists we featured this week or not is up to your personal taste, but there is no denying that Celine Dion’s success has spanned space and time, making this Grammy and Juno award-winning pop singer the best-selling female artist in the world!
To me, Celine is an idol. Not that I aspire to be a pop singer, but because she sets an example in following your dream all the way through. In fact, today’s featured song, Immortality, is all about that.
If you take a look and read through Celine Dion’s biography at Wikipedia, you can see how she was persistent working
Bryan Adams - Where Angels Fear To Tread 2007-06-09 07:00:39
Day 6: BryanAdams
Thoughts are things; they have tremendous power. Thoughts of doubt and fear are pathways to failure. When you conquer negative attitudes of doubt and fear you conquer failure. Thoughts crystallize into habit and habit solidifies into circumstances.
We’re drawing near the end of our week of fabulous Canadian musicians. It’s been a wonderful ride with only two more to go.
I’m really ecstatic today to feature one of my all-time favorite rock singers, Bryan Adams
. I can’t quite explain what listening to his music makes me feel, although if I had to narrow it down to one thing, I would say it would be his extraordinary voice which just seems so authentic and real.
Heaven was the song that got me hooked to Bryan’s music. It was (and will always be) an inspiring song that I’ll never grow tired of listening to. However, for our featured song today, I was looking for a less popular (yet just as amazing) song that some of you folks may ha Read more:Angels

Day 5: ShaniaTwain
I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you’re really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That’s the way I’ve always lived my life.
I’m really loving this whole fabulous Canadian musicians week-spanning series, especially since it’s the 5th day of the week and the feedback and attention I’ve been getting are very positive. You guys rock just as well as those musicians do :)
"Would you like that song in red, green or blue, sir?" Wouldn’t that be a fun and odd question to ask?
Well, I thought this would a fun way to introduce today’s song (read on for more about that) from the one and only Shania Twain

Sarah McLachlan - I Love You 2007-06-07 07:00:33
Day 4: Sarah
McLachlan
If you love large, you’ve got to hurt large. If you’ve got a lot of light, you’ve probably got an equal amount of darkness.
We’re on our fourth day of fabulous Canadian musicians week. I’ve already featured fabulous songs from Michael Bublé, Avril Lavigne and Chantal Kreviazuk. If you’ve missed any of them, go check them out right away!
Today’s featured musician, Sarah McLachlan, needs no formal introduction, because she’s one of the world’s most popular and influential female musicians. She is best known for founding the concert tour that ran from 1997 to 1999 under the name of Lilith Fair, featuring a lot of female musicians. At each Lilith Fair venue, one dollar for each ticket sold was given to a women’s charity in that community.
Sarah’s most notable musicial quality is the emotional sound of her ballads. If you’ve listened to any of her bigger hits, like Angel or Fallen, then you wo
Chantal Kreviazuk - All I Can Do 2007-06-06 07:00:24
Day 3: Chantal
Kreviazuk
I think it’s important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There’s no code, there’s no craft… it’s just let yourself shine through your music. If it’s meant to be loved and heard, it’ll happen.
It’s the third day of our fabulous Canadian musicians week and I hope you’re enjoying the music we’ve posted so far.
Today I’m featuring an artist who’s a good friend and have worked closely with Avril Lavigne, whom we featured yesterday. Her name is Chantal Kreviazuk
, a Canadian singer-songwriter of rock and pop music.
Perhaps what I like most about Chantal are her two songs which I’ve played countlessly for as long as I can remember: Feels Like Home and Leaving on a Jet Plane. That’s why I was keen on checking out her newest album that came out in August last year, called Ghost Stories. The album, produced entirely by Kreviazuk’s husband at home, doe
Avril Lavigne - Innocence 2007-06-05 07:00:00
Day 2: AvrilLavigne
I think, you know, my parents really saw that I was really into music and that kinda caused I get a bunch of instruments. So growing up I had drums around, guitar and piano and I learnt how to play all those.
For the second day of our fabulous Canadian musicians week, Avril Lavigne
is taking the stage with a song from her latest 2007 record The Best Damn Thing, called Innocence
.
Although she is a very successful artist having won numerous awards during her relatively short career so far, I somehow can’t force myself to be into this whole pop-rock or punk act that dominates most of her work. However, that’s not to say that I completely despise all of her work. I have several favorites that I will always love listening to when the mood strikes me.
That’s actually the nice thing about Avril. In every record she releases, you’d be sure to find a song or two that are really on the "easy-listening" side.
I think Innocence here can be
Michael Bublé - Everything 2007-06-04 07:00:00
Day 1: Michael
Bublé
My grandfather was really my best friend growing up. He was the one who opened me up to a whole world of music that seemed to have been passed over by my generation. Although I like rock & roll and modern music, the first time my grand dad played me the Mills Brothers, something magical happened. The lyrics were so romantic, so real… the way a song should be for me. It was like seeing my future flash before me. I wanted to be a singer and I knew that this was the music that I wanted to sing.
It’s the first day of our week-spanning series of fabulous Canadian musicians, where I’ll be featuring my all-time favorite songs from those amazing artists and song-writers. In total I have 7 artists coming up, and today I’m starting with someone I already featured previously: Michael Bublé (pronounced "Boo-blay").
To give you a little idea of who Michael Bublé’ is, his smash hit song "Home" was the most-heard song o Read more:Everything
A week of fabulous Canadian music 2007-06-01 07:00:12 Since I'm part Canadian
, I'm starting a series here to feature my favorite music from some of the most renowned Canadian musicians.
Truth is, my upcoming list of songs to be posted was getting crowded with some amazing songs from Candians artists, so I thought it'd be fun to make it a themed series.
So just for heads up, the following musicians will be featured during this week (order of appearance will be left for surprise):

Bryan Adams
Michael Bublé
Céline Dion
Avril Lavigne
Sarah McLachlan

Lighthouse Family - Free 2007-05-31 08:00:24 If I had to make a wish for one band to reform and start recording again, it would be for the indie British duo LighthouseFamily
, who were active from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. I have such fond memories of playing their songs during my college days, especially their second album, Postcards from Heaven. Honestly speaking, this is a feel-good music in its purest form. The music sucks you in without realizing and you just can't help but listen to their songs over and over again.
That's why I had a hard time picking out a song to feature on my blog. I have several favorites that are always there in my iPod (check out some of my recommendations at the end of this post). Finally, I've decided to feature a song from their latest album, called Whatever Gets You Through the Day. The song's titled (I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be) Free.
There are so many things to love about this song. First of all, the song deviates from the usual "love" subject int
Highwater Rising - Wasted Days 2007-05-31 07:00:01 Sometimes a bad movie isn't all that bad if, as part of its soundtrack, a song really makes it up for you.
I think that particularly applies to a movie I've seen lately. It's called Employee of the Month. It focuses on events that happen at a Costco-like store (and indeed filmed in a Costco store), where two co-workers, Zack (Dane Cook) and Vince (Dax Shepard), compete for the affection of the new cashier, Amy (Jessica Simpson). The script is very badly written, it's really neither a comedy nor a love story.
However, somewhere towards the end of the plot, a song got played that really caught my attention. Looking it up afterwards, it turns out to be one by a band I've never heard of called Highwater Rising
. The song is called Wasted
Days.
I dug up the whole Internet looking for this song but couldn't find it. So I looked up the song on Last.fm and requested it from some of the people who recently listened to it. Never thought it would work, but I got a me
Scarf - Odyssey 2007-05-22 09:20:46 I've been posting lots of romantic songs lately so I thought a change of pace would be fun.
Hats off to my brother for tipping me on this trance song. Trance, as a genre, is one of my all-time favorites. If you're anything like me, then you sure are fan of Armin Van Buuren's weekly 2-hour A State of Trance episodes. Those ones just rock my world at work.
I'll admit that I've never heard of Scarf
but I'll also admit that the song, Odyssey
, is freakishly moving. However, before you listen to it, pump up the volume and bass to a high-enough level if you have surround speakers. This song is a dish best served loud!

Way Back Into Love (Music And Lyrics Soundtrack) 2007-05-20 08:08:57 Way Back Into Love is a song from the film Music
and Lyrics. There are two versions: a demo version (from the film) by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore and the original version by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett.
Music and Lyrics is a romantic comedy film released on February 2007. The film stars Hugh Grant as Alex Fletcher, a 1980s pop star and Drew Barrymore as Sophie Fisher, a former English literature university major. It chronicles their attempt at writing a song for singer Cora Corman (Haley Bennett).
Ok a little confession is in order: I'm secretly in love with Drew Barrymore! Yep, she is that gorgeous and I've been a big fan of her ever since I saw her with Adam Sandler in 50 First Dates.
But that's not the reason I'm posting this song today. Well, actually it might be part of it :) But the song really deserves special attention because of the touching lyrics and beautiful melody. Watching this movie, you get to see how this song gets written and play Read more:Soundtrack
Bliss - Kissing 2007-05-18 07:59:22 Simply stated: no mix tape you put together for your loved one should go without this song!
I was struck by the beautiful arrangement, vocals and lyrics of this song ever since hearing it for the first time on one of DJ River’s Ambient/Chillout mixes. I looked up the band, called Bliss
, and sure enough there was more great stuff where this one came from.
The musical world of Bliss is deeply rooted in a blend of western, African and classical musical influences representing the vast musical backgrounds of all four members respectively. It also showcases an undercurrent of apparent melancholy with a warmth that is otherwise hard to describe in words.
Kissing
is a song from their latest album, Quiet Letters. I really highly recommend this album, and all of Bliss’s music in general. It’s hard to explain, but listening to them while doing anything can magically make you feel better and more at ease. It’s a cross between ambient and chillout. If you’re a fan of
Michael Bublé - Lost 2007-05-09 09:40:36 May 2007 is witnessing a lot of album releases from great bands and signers. I told you that Linkin Park is releasing their third studio album, Minutes to Midnight, this month.
Today, Michael
Bublé is the star of our post. Michael is a critically acclaimed Grammy-nominated, multiple Juno Award-winning Canadian crooner, big band singer and actor. I first came to know him through his award-winning hit single Home (download), which I immediately fell in love with. What sets Michale apart, in my opinion, is his tremendously deep baritone voice which I can only compare to that of Josh Groban's!
Lost is a song in his new album released 1st of May 2007 called: Call Me Irresponsible. Now let's be honest: I went ahead and narrowed the album down to 4 exceptional songs, of which I picked only Lost to feature on my blog because, first of all, I love that show. More importantly, this song is simply indescribable! I've been listening to this one for the past two hours non-sto
Linkin Park - What I’ve Done 2007-05-07 06:30:05 As promised, today I'm bringing you a big new hit by the one and only Linkin
Park. Fans of this band (that would be me) know they will be releasing their (much anticipated and delayed) third studio album, called Minutes to Midnight, in couple of days. This album represents a radical shift in some of the elements that made Linkin Park
the success they are today. Most notably, Mike Shinoda's role in this one, as in rapping, is kind of minimal, performing in solos only in two songs and providing harmonies to the rest.
What I've Done is the first single in this record and the last one to be recorded among the other songs. This song literally represents what Linkin Park are all about. It has a style reminiscent to such songs as Somewhere I Belong. However, it comes off stronger with more raw vocals and guitar sounds that will blow your mind away! Just listen to it.
