Song: When They Fight, They Fight
Artist: The Generationals
Album: Con Law
--- --- ---
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I’m a freebies junkie. So I jumped at Urban Outfitter’s LSTEN promo- 26 free songs- YEY. I first listened to “When They Fight, They Fight,” and was pleasantly surprised. The first time I listened to it, I was like, okay… it was a good song, but nothing special. But something about made me want to listen to it again. So I did- and loved it. The melody was great, and crept back into my head all day long. The song has a strong “feel-good” vibe to it. I found myself listening to it over and over, singing along. I really liked this song.
By the way, I discovered that “Sing Song Sung” was one of those songs you love for two days, then it gets really old. Still a good song, but not amazing.

Song 1: Sing Song Sung by AIR
Song: Sing Song Sung
Artist: AIR
Album: Love 2
--- --- ---
I’ll admit it- I’m a freebies junkie. From free samples to people standing on the corner handing out keychains with their company’s logo, I’ll take ‘em all. So I obviously love iTune’s “Free on iTunes” section. Normally I’m not a big fan of the Single of the Week or the Music Video of the Week, but I loved “Sing Sang Sung,” this week’s free music video.
The melody and rhythm instantly puts you in a— don’t hate me, but I really want to say “groovy—” mood. I absolutely fell in love with the song- and the video. The music video is amazing as well, it reminds me a little of “Yellow Submarine” by the Beatles with the cartoon-ish effect.
Anyway, I wholeheartedly recommend this song- a great way to start the project. Get it now for free on iTunes!

Why do I love music?
Why do I love music?
It's beautiful. Nothing gives me chills like a good song. Plus, it can always cheer me up when I'm down. Music is art- arguably the best kind, too. What better way of saying you're angry than to pound on some drums? I honestly can't think of a better way to express your feelings. But no matter whatever emotion the artist was trying to portray, what you make of music is entirely up to you. What do I make of music?
A miracle.
