Stand in the Rain

So, I usually am more into Rock but this song is super amazing and the lyrics are so awesome. It's called "Stand in the Rain" by a person/ group called "Superchick".

"She never slows down,
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone,
feels like it's all, coming down.

She wont turn around.
The shadows are long and she fears,
If she cries that first tear,
The tears will not stop, raining down.

So stand in the rain,
Stand your ground,
Stand up when it's all crashing down.

You stand through the pain,
You won't drown,
And one day what's lost, can be found.

You stand in the rain.

She won't make a sound.
Alone in this fight with herself
And the fears whispering,
If she stands she'll fall down.

She wants to be found,
The only way out is through everything,
She's running from,
Wants to give up and lie down.

So stand in the rain,
Stand your ground,
Stand up when it's all crashing down.

You stand through the pain,
You won't drown,
And one day what's lost can be found.

You stand in the rain.

So stand in the rain,
Stand your ground,
Stand up when it's all crashing down.

Stand through the pain,
You won't drown,
And one day what's lost can be found.

So stand in the rain,
Stand your ground,
Stand up when it's all crashing down.

You stand through the pain,
You won't down,
And one day what's lost can be found.

You stand in the rain."

LOOK IT UP!

Electric Guitar

Okay so I was SUPER surprised when I was told I have an electric guitar. It took a minute to really hit me. But it's dark blue. And the strap has skulls. I absolutely love it. ... Now I just need to learn how to play. And then I can make awesome music of my own.

Falling In Reverse

"If we are born to die,
And we all die to live,
Then what's the point of living life,
If it just contradicts?"  - 'The Drug In Me Is You', Falling In Reverse

This quote is from one of my new favorite bands, Falling in Reverse. I am addicted to their CD. The songs are extremely catchy.

My favorites are 'I'm Not A Vampire', 'The Drug In Me Is You', and 'Raised By Wolves'.

On their Album The Drug in Me is You are the songs 'Tragic Magic', 'I'm Not A Vampire', 'Good Girls And Bad Guys', 'Pick Up The Phone', 'Don't Mess With Ouiji Boards', 'Sink or Swim', 'Caught Like A Fly', 'Goodye Graceful', 'The Westerner', 'The Drug In Me Is You', and 'Raised By Wolves'.

They are definately worth checking out. :)

I'll be the one that you run to,
My love is,
A burnin',
Consuming fire!" - Whispers in the Dark Whispers In The Dark Lyric Video

Slipping through the cracks,
Falling to the depths can I ever go back.

It used to be,

Rock

Since most of the bands I listen to, and like, fall in this category, I decided to do 10 bands for this one instead of five. The second and third "place" ones will get a picture, and two quotes.

Take your heart and break it." - Last Stand

I will end where I began.
And I will find the enemy within,
'Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin." - Dear Agony

"Well I swear to God,
We've been down this road before.

Odd Rock

Now, technically, these bands are considered rock, but for some reason they seem to have a slightly different sound than what I consider regular rock, so I have them their own category. :)  Everything is based on personal opinion. Nothing belongs to me, it belongs to a band or a record label.

  • Not Meant To Be
  • All or Nothing
  • Make Up Your Mind
"We'll wake up,
We'll make up,
And do this for the last time.

Let's make up,
And do this for the last time." - Make Up Your Mind

#4. Shinedown -
  • Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide
  • Call Me
  • Sound of Madness
"I created the sound of madness,
Wrote the book on pain,
Somehow I'm still here to explain,
That the darkest hour,
Never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun,
But when you gonna wake up and fight,
for yourself." - Sound of Madness

#3. Seether -
  • Gasoline
  • Fallen

They'll never know if you fear me,
With every second collecting dust,
I feel so bloated and weary." - Like Suicide

  • Never Gonna Be Alone
  • I'd Come For You
"By now you know that,
I'd come for you,
No one but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me to.

And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie it's true,
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you." - I'd Come For You

  • Without You
  • Lips of an Angel
  • Last Kiss Goodbye

And the way innocence tastes,
And I think you should know this,
you deserve much better than me." - Better than Me   Better Than Me Lyric Video

"No more alibi's,
No more inner lies,
You've broken my trust,
And it can't be fixed.

I should've seen the signs,
Should've recognized,
The way your lips looks like,
They'd been kissed." - Last Kiss Goodbye
