Simply because...Babylon. This is the perfect Mulder and Scully song.
I never thought I would actuallylisten to this song like I do now. Don't get me wrong, I liked it. I would listen to it when it's on the radio, but I won't put it on repeat. Then Bablyon came, everything changed. I love this song now. I could not even stop listening to it. It's the Mulder and Scully effect, I suppose. My OTP.
Wonders never cease with you
Hello there, you two! I belong with you. You belong with me. You're my sweetheart! ♫That's what you call a mini music video. Right there. ♥ Valentine's Day present from the one and only Chris Carter. Well-done, sir. Well-done!
It has been one hell a taxing week, however I was fortunate enough to have time and listen to (and watch amazing live performances of) great music by brilliant bands and artists.
Here are my top 5 songs of the week! ;)
#5 - Trouble by Ray LaMontagne
First heard this song on American Idol when Taylor Hicks sang it. It has since been included in my playlist. Having watched the live performance on YouTube made it one of my most played songs/videos this week. A really nice song from an awesome soulful artist.
#4 - Emotion Sickness by Silverchair
It was a toss between Emotion Sickness or Without You. I mean, I looooove Without You more than this song, but this performance is simply EPIC. It actually made the song MORE epic than it already is. I couldn't help but get into this song and watch other performances, but this just had the best audio and the best video. Must share, must watch.
#3 - Don't Look Back In Anger - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
A stripped down version of this song has always been my favorite. The Argentina version, the Wembley version, and just the acoustic or semi-acoustic versions have always, ALWAYS been my favorite. Well, that of course wouldn't stop me from listening to the original version. This is probably my most-played Oasis track on Spotify and even on my mp3 player. It is my favorite Oasis song. This recent performance, however, brought Don't Look Back In Anger's beauty as a song even more. This guitar and piano version is everything.
#2 - Deep Inside of You - Third Eye Blind
Stephan Jenkins isn't my favorite band vocalist, but man did he sing this song so beautifully! One of my favorite 3EB songs and one of my favorite performances from them. 3EB's Fillmore concert remains to be their best. That is, for me. The performance said it all. Oh, again with the piano! ♥ I probably re-played this more than I should hahaha.
#1 - The Space Between - Dave Matthews Band
My most favorite DMB song, everyone.
My ultimate favorite song of the week has to be The Space Betweenby the Dave Matthews Band. It could have been Snow Outside but came across this video and for me, my favorite version yet. Perfect version. TOO MUCH EMOTIONS. TOO MANY FEELS. This is certainly the most played song (this version and the album version) of the week. I just love Space Between. This song introduced me to this amazing band. Didn't pay much attention to DMB until this song came out in 2001.I am hoping they decide to have a World Tour and have a concert here in The Philippines and play this song live. That would be a dream come true. I'd do everything in my power to watch DMB live in concert. Please, DMB. Please.
My first "Song(s) of the Week" (SOTW) entry. This is only the beginning. Looking forward to next week and the weeks ahead. It should be a weekly thing. I am that person who just gets stuck with certain song or songs for a week or even months mainly because of the nostalgia and/or how I feel at the moment and it's something I'd like to share with the world. lol. I mean, why not include it in my own personal archive, right?
SOTW - June 14 to 20, 2015
5 songs for this week! ♫
#5 - Walking After You by The Foo Fighters
This song has MSR written all over it. Mulder and Scully. Scully and Mulder. The X-Files revival is just giving me all these feels and I have got to warn you that you'll probably read more of my MSR feels as you read your way to #1, and even in the coming blog entries, if I get to find time to blog about 'em. It has to be perfect. So, here's Walking After Youfrom the album, The Color and the Shape and The X-Files Movie Soundtrack.
Oh, and Dave Gohl? He had a cameo on The X-Files and he's such a fanboy too. I have yet to gif that Gillian Anderson-Dave Grohl moment. Soon. Soon. Soon.
#4 - To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra ft. Patrick Watson
I'll start by saying that an awesomely made X-Files fan video led me to this song and this version with Patrick Watson is my favorite. His voice captured the drama, the emotions and the feeling of this song. Plus, it suits the Mulder-Scully story illustrated in the fan-made video. It just speaks to me.
Here's the beautiful live performance of this song.
The piano is everything. It's what made me love this version even more.
#3 - Sympathy by The Goo Goo Dolls
One of the best written songs of my generation. I really find this song inspiring. I think it is. This song is what I need in the coming months because it's going to be more stressful than ever. This is why I couldn't help but listen to it from time to time. It's about life and the choices we make. It's timeless. Always relevant, never irrelevant.
The beauty of simplicity right there--a guy, his band, and their musical instruments. ♥
#2 - Hey Jealousy by Gin Blossoms
This is so 90s! I looove 90s music and this one brings back a lot of great 90s memories. Hey Jealousy and it brings back great memories? Weird, eh? Haha. It's all about the song and band, I guess. This is just so 90s and it's beautiful.
That was a really good live performance. I live for live performances. Live performances make the song more special. It could be the reason why it brought back a lot of the 90s feels. The most nostalgic song of this Top 5.
#1 - Starlight by Muse
STARLIGHT ♥ is my Mulder and Scully song at the moment. It's all because of a fan-made video. I did not expect to like this song so much, but right now I do. And, Matt Bellamy is such a great singer and musician. Of all their songs I've heard, this one has to be my favorite. It has this connection to my favorite show, The X-Files and the mother of all the OTPs out there, Mulder and Scully.
Here's Starlight from the album Black Holes & Revelations.
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
Every time I watch this, I be like...
Awesome. (Dreamy)
There you have it. Hope you get to listen and/or watch these songs! ♥
