I NEED SOME NEW MUSIC!

Any suggestions of music? =]* I am willing to give anything a try! It can be a specific song, or a band if you think of more than one by an artist. I would just like to broaden my music knowledge!

[Roxilicious]

I gotcho back.

"Darker" Music
Nightwish. (Symphonic Metal) They have a sound similar to the darkness of Evanescence and I've noticed you seem to like kind of darker songs, or so it seems, and I really think you'd like them, particularly these songs:
(if there's an asterisk next to it, it's one of my faves)
- Bless The Child*
- Lappi Lapland (particularly pt. III. This Moment Is Eternity at around 3:35.
- End Of All Hope (perhaps, I'm not certain but why not give it a shot? :))
- The Escapist*
- Amaranth* (this is the music video which I think you'd like and I think you'll REALLY like this song)
- Eva*
- Stargazers (maybe)
- Sacrament of Wilderness
- Dark Chest Of Wonders (maybe)
- Romanticide (maybe)
- Wish I Had An Angel
- Planet Hell*
- The Siren* ♥
- Ghost Love Score* ♥♥♥
- Away
- Over The Hills And Far Away*
- Phantom Of The Opera*
- Sleeping Sun*
- She Is My Sin
- The Kinslayer*
- Beauty And The Beast* ♥♥
- Bye Bye Beautiful*
- Cadence Of Her Last Breath*
- Crimson Tide And Deep Blue Sea* ♥♥♥ (just an instrumental but I LOVE this one)
- Nemo* ♥♥♥ (interesting music video)
- The Poet And The Pendulum*
- Wishmaster
- 7 Days To The Wolves*
- Ever Dream*
- Moondance* (I'm pretty sure this is just an instrumental)

Within Temptation. (Symphonic Metal/Rock) Very similar to Nightwish but I prefer Tarja Turunen's voice to the lead singer of Within Temptation. Nightwish actually got a new lead singer who I don't like as much; her name is Annette.
- Our Solemn Hour
- Hand Of Sorrow
- Angels
- Ice Queen
- Utopia*

Haha I would deff recommend Eminem but you don't like rap. :(

"Happier" Music
Ummm. Let's see.
Anberlin. (Alt. Rock) They're very hauntingly amazing, more their newer songs. Their older songs still have the touch of immature alt. rock to it, which I don't like. Many of their songs are very touching and spiritual/religious and always spine-tingling. Here are some of my faves:
- Adelaide
- Naïve Orleans
- The Unwinding Cable Car
- Hello Alone
- Alexithymia
- Inevitable (makes me cryyy :()
- Dismantle.Repair.
- (*Fin) (one of my favorites)
- Downtown Song
- The Haunting (there are no videos of the recorded version but you can buy it on iTunes – this song is WONDERFUL)
- Burn Out Brighter (Northern Lights)
- Younglife
- Haight St.
- Soft Skeletons (I think you'd like this one)
- Miserabile Visu (Ex Malo Bonum) (I LOVE this song)
- Heavier Things Remain (Graviora Manent)
- Foreign Language (eh)

Yellowcard. (Pop Punk) I considered them my favorite band until I broadened my music vista. They're kind of more bouncy and happy than Anberlin but still have that alternative rock with a touch of unique violin. Some of their more serious songs are lovely.
- Sure Things Falling
- Rough Landing, Holly ♥
- Space Travel ♥ (lyrics in my signature picture)
- How I Go (makes me cryyy :()
- Holly Wood Died
- Life Of A Salesman
- Only One ♥
- View From Heaven (a happy kind of sad)
- Believe ♥ (about the firefighters who died saving people during the 9/11 attacks on the WTC)
- Keeper ♥
- Light Up The Sky
- Date Line (I Am Gone)
- Dear Bobbie (don't let the funky voice throw you off in the beginning; it's a really wonderful song)
- You And Me And One Spotlight (the chorussss ♥)
- Cut Me, Mick (great if you've been abandoned by a friend)
- With You Around (the second verse♥!!)
- Hang You Up
- Be The Young
- Sing For Me (I like this song but I THINK that I like THE ACOUSTIC version better)
- Bombers ♥♥♥♥ (lovelovelove)

New Found Glory. (Alt. Rock) I listened to them along with Sum 41 at the end of eighth grade and haven't listened to them since but I liked them...
- Oxygen (so cute ♥)
- Make Your Move
- Taken Back By You
- Familiar Landscapes ♥
- When I Die
- Connected ♥
- Boulders ♥

Dave Matthews Band. (Rock) You know, DMB is just great. Sometimes I can't always listen to their songs because they make me impatient sometimes, but some are just TOO amazing.
- Dreamgirl
- You And Me
- My Baby Blue ♥
- Crash Into Me
- #41
- Grey Street

Reel Big Fish. (Ska) They're ska. What more can I say?
- Good Thing
- Ban The Tube Top
- Sell Out
- Beer

Like any Red Hot Chili Peppers song.

- You're Gonna Go Far, Kid by The Offspring

- My Wish by Rascal Flatts (really happy song)

- Belle Of The Boulevard by Dashboard Confessional (happy sad)

- Kings And Queens by 30 Seconds To Mars (I really like this one)
- Closer To The Edge by 30 Seconds To Mars
- This Is War by 30 Seconds To Mars

- Never Look Back by Zach Berkman (very happy and piano and stuff)

- Loving You Tonight by Andrew Allen (oh my gosh in love with this happy song)

- Courage by Superchick (this song is sad and about eating disorders)
- Stand In The Rain by Superchick (you've probs heard this one as it is relatively popular and very good)
- Beauty From Pain by Superchick (sad sad sad but good good good)

- Let It Go by Tenth Avenue North (haven't explored TAN much but they're a Christian band and this song is super happy and cute)

- Wonderful by Everclear (great song if your parents are fighting or going through a divorce/separation; it's happy in sound by sad in lyrics)

"Harder Core" Music
Sum 41. (Punk Rock) I fell in love with them after Yellowcard. They became my favorite band after Yellowcard. They helped me transition into darker/more intense music and find a new love and appreciation for heavier guitar. Derick Whibley (lead singer) has a voice that might be annoying to some though.
- No Reason
- We're All To Blame (the sound quality here doesn't do the song justice)
- The Bitter End (this song kind of takes after Metallica's song Battery; it's sort of like a tribute and they sound very similar)
- Open Your Eyes
- I'm Not The One
- Noots (this song is in Fantastic 4!!)
- 88 (my favorite part is like a 2.5 minute instrumental and it starts at 2:03)
- Count Your Last Blessings

Framing Hanley. (Rock) Interesting band. I like a few of their songs. They did a sick cover of that once popular mainstream song Lollipop by some black guy.
- Lollipop
- Alone In This Bed :( :( :(
- 23 Days ♥
- Slow Dance ♥♥♥♥♥♥ (reminds me of special times and a night I could only DREAM of)
- It's Not What They Say
- Hear Me Now

Senses Fail. (Rock) I don't know how to describe them. They just sound good. I only like some of their songs though, because some of their other songs are just unbearable.
- Four Years
- Family Tradition
- Bite To Break Skin
- The Priest And The Matador (looong intro but SUCH an amazing song)

- Voices by Saosin (this is a good song)
- You're Not Alone by Saosin (this is also a good song)


"Other?" Music
Modest Mouse. (Indie Rock) I really don't know where to place them. They're so weird, but their music is so good.
- King Rat (such a sick video, directed by Heath Ledger)
- Float On (rhythm popularized by Lupe Fiasco's song Show Goes On)
- Ocean Breathes Salty
- Dashboard (right on)
- Little Motel (so sad, check out the video)
- Parting Of The Sensory (interesting song, I love the end)
- Missed The Boat
- We've Got Everything (starts off loud for some reason, just as a forewarning)
- Fire It Up
- Dramamine ♥


Okay, that wasn't even everything I wanted to share; it was just like everything with at least a guitar in it, mostly. Maybe I'll post more stuff later. :) Enjoy for now!
