  • Beth Hart – Bad Woman Blues

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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)

    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

    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

    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
