Beth Hart – Bad Woman Blues

Want a tight, short, full of energy song that’s crammed to the brink of explosion with catchy hooks? Leave it to blues rocker Beth Hart to bring into existence. The witty lyrics make the ride that much more pleasurable.

“Got the lips, got the legs
I was born to drive a man insane
I don’t worry and I don’t shame
Put it on me, I’m the queen of pain
I’ve been bad, I’ve been cruel
I’m not sorry, baby, sorry for you
It’s my party and I don’t dance
Just want your liquor and your cheap romance
I’m not your mama, I’m not your wife
I’m not the one who’ll make it right
Good girls always lose
I got the bad woman blues”

VAST – Touched

Guitars meet ecstatic chanting in what is a daring, powerful rock melody. Completed by beautiful lyrics, it’s clear that this song is touched.

“Touched,
You say that I am too,
So much,
Of what you say is true,
I’ll never find someone quite like you,
Again,
I’ll never find someone quite like you,
Like You,
The razors and the dying roses,
Plead I don’t leave you alone,
The demi-gods and hungry ghosts,
God, god knows I’m not at home,
I’ll never find someone quite like you,
Again,
I’ll never find someone quite like you,
Again,
I looked into your eyes and
Saw a world that does not exist,
I looked into your eyes and,
Saw a world I wish I was in,
I’ll never find someone quite as touched as you
I’ll never love someone quite the way that I loved you.”

Jeff Beck – Live in the Dark

Catchy hard rock’n’roll with witty lyrics, amazing energy and a sweet, sweet buildup. It’s the perfect song to lift anybody from the dumps, to kick a party to 11 and to wake up to. This one can move dead bodies :D.

“I’m not afraid of the dark
If we gotta live in the dark
We will live in the dark
Won’t see me dying in the light
We will live in the dark
We will dance in the dark
We’ll bring candles down to the the dark
We will love in the dark
We’ll go home in the dark
We’ll hold hands in the dark
‘Cause when you hold hands in the dark
You don’t know whose hand you hold
We’re just humans letting the love flow”

Beck – Loser

Failure can now be celebrated with this paradoxical hymn that manages to be both catchy and apathetic. The lyrics are somewhere at a crossroads between humor and despair, surrender and pessimism, with a side-dish of sarcasm. And they’re being delivered with the perfect voice and intonation.

“Someone keeps sayin’ I’m insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don’t believe everything that you read
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park
Yo, cut it
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby so why don’t you kill me?”

Tom Hodge – Nothing Less Nothing More (Eivor)

… and sometimes life throws you one of these…

“This is where I want to be
This is all I need
Nothing less and nothing more
This is what I’ve been looking for

This is my greatest victory
My independency
Nothing holds me down no more
This is what I’ve been fighting for

This is all I need

This is where I want to be
I’m finally free

This is all I’m asking for
Nothing less and nothing more”

IO Echo – Stalemate

Sink in, lose yourself in these echoes of melancholy. What would life be without its ups and downs? But don’t worry, a beautiful voice and a dreamy guitar will keep you firmly anchored to beauty.

“White light spins through the fog and shine upon the beach
I touch the moon but it’s too far from reach
Just like you I see you but I can’t touch you now

Oh play me the next move is you
Oh play me in my game you lose

Stalemate the next move is you
So play me I lay here”

Kognitif – Babe I’m Gonna Leave You

Despite the rock-solid beat, this piece is all about atmosphere, distortions, samples and clever orchestration. And despite all the bad news that the song brings, ears couldn’t be happier with such an action-packed ride.

You can listen to the melody for free, in good quality, on BandCamp, which is one of the best websites when it comes to supporting artists. You can also purchase the song (or album) from this same location.

Ah! Kosmos – Wide (feat. Ozgur Yilmaz)

De’licious is the first word that comes to my mind as I try to review this fabulous song. It’s a passionate feast of crescendo orchestration transporting a solemn voice. And isn’t it just awesome when great music comes with a great video too?

It’s one of the most beautiful creations I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing in 2018.

Devin Townsend & Che Aimee Dorval – Mountaintop

Here’s a marvelous acoustic gem, sparkling with elegance and mystery. It’s a collaboration between one of the world’s most talented guitarists and a charming voice. The perfect soundtrack for a deserted early morning commute or a late misty evening walk.

“Oh, go with the man to the mountaintop
And all the way up, I’m only thinking about you, child
I know the way, I know the way now
Go with the man to the mountaintop
And all the’is you, child
And all the rain, just know it never will stop
Stop”

Enjoy the nice video too!

Puscifer – Green Valley

This Journey song will caress with its soft chords and dreamy duet, but beware, the rite of passage is just in its infancy. Words of wisdom assist the listener as the orchestration builds up to ritualistic heights. A rock song that courageously breaks all sorts of new ground.

“Hello stranger
Can you tell us where you’ve been?
More importantly
How ever did you come to be here?
Though a stranger
You can rest here for a while
But save your energy
Your journey here is far from over
Come the sunrise
We’ll descend through Judgement Valley
And weigh your worth before her majesty, the Verde River

No direction but to follow what you know
No direction but a faith in her decision
No direction but to never fight her flow
No direction but to trust the final destination
You’re a stranger ’til she whispers you can stay
You’re a stranger ’til she whispers that your journey’s over
