No Comments

As you can see, I did my first Music Monday just a few minutes ago. If you haven’t check it out here: Music Monday – 5/17/2010: Memories by David Guetta Featuring Kid Cudi Anyway, this one is:

Airplanes (Part 1) by B.O.B featuring Hayley Williams

[Chorus Hayley Williams]
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) (wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) (wish right now)

[Verse 1 B.o.B]
Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin and smashin and crashin
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when youre staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But thats just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry Im late
Im on my way so dont close that gate
If I dont make that then Ill switch my flight
And Ill be right back at it by the end of the night

[Chorus Hayley Williams]
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) (wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) (wish right now)

[Verse 2 B.o.B]
Somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was tryin to get into the subway
And back when I was rappin for the hell of it
But now a days we rappin to stay relevant
Im guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo maybe Ill go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when aint nobody listened to my mix tape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the Cada, whats up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this shit
So here I stand and then again I say
Im hopin we can make some wishes outta airplanes?

Wikipedia summarizes B.O.B as:

Bobby Ray Simmons (born November 15, 1988), also known as Bobby Ray, or B.o.B, is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. He is currently signed under the labels of Grand Hustle and Atlantic Records.

Hayley Williams is the lead singer of Paramore.

The reason I like this song is because first of all, I am a huge fan of B.O.B. He is truly an amazing artist as he does everything from write and rap his own songs, but also can play instruments. He can nearly, if not do it all. The song hits down to me as it speaks as it says Can I have a wish right now? I ask that a lot sometimes, but even through the tough times, we need to persevere and that is what I do.

Look out next Monday for Music Monday!

Music Monday – 5/17/2010: Memories by David Guetta Featuring Kid Cudi

1 Comment

I am a huge fan of music lately because I would like to DJ a bit. So, with this passion, I have been listening to a lot of Top 40, Hip-Hop, and all of the such. Today’s music is two songs. I wasn’t able to choose more than one because I am a huge fan of each song in their own rights. Anyway, for these Music Mondays, I will try to do the following: post music, a youtube video of the song, lyrics, about the artist from Wikipedia, and why I like the song.  Anyway, I will introduce the first song:

Memories by David Guetta Featuring Kid Cudi

Wikipedia summarizes David Guetta as the following:

David Guetta is a French house producer and DJ. Originally a DJ at nightclubs during the 1980s and 1990s, he co-founded label Gum Productions and released his first album, Just a Little More Love, in 2001. Later, he released Guetta Blaster (2004) and Pop Life (2007). His 2009 album One Love included the hits singles “When Love Takes Over” (featuring Kelly Rowland), and “Sexy Bitch” (featuring Akon), the latter becoming a top five hit in the US. He has worked with a variety of pop artists including Britney Spears, Akon, Chris Willis, Kelly Rowland, Lil’ Wayne, Kelis, Madonna, Kid Cudi, Estelle, Fergie, Amy Palmer, K’naan and will.i.am. He is also currently working with Shakira and Akon.

The reason I like this song is because it basically describes me. I do some crazy stuff sometimes and anyone who knows me, knows that I recount these stories constantly. No matter where I am whether it is a small play or a crazy party that I helped throw, I have tons of stories. I tend to live life to the fullest and I do things that are quite spontaneous and not conservative. With this, I have memories from all the things I did tonight.

Look out for my next Music Monday (which is in a couple of minutes since I couldn’t choose between the two) and the one next week!
