I like the lyrics but it really need a snarky slick male voice singing that. Or more of a sexy seductive tone. As is, didn't care for the sound or the vocals... but I liked the lyrics. 6/10

Edguy - King of Fools

6.5/10 Good power metal, I'm just very selective with what I listen to in the genre.

7/10

I'm going to admit I don't usually like most older songs, but this one is fun to listen to. Since we're on the subject of older songs...

The New Radicals - You Get What You Give

Warning: This song uses two curses. D*** and a**. I only heard each used once, but I could be wrong. I'm not sure if this song will be frowned upon, but I've always like it.

I understand where you are coming from That Dude. Country music is an equired taste I guess. Even I only have a few artist I like.

Meanwhile, I'll give your song a 6/10 Rock. Not to my taste, but it was an alright song. How about this one then?

Lifehouse - Everything

Also, I've got a question for you guys. Is this song about loving God or about you know, being in love with a person? I've heard recently Lifehouse is actually a Christian band and therefore this song is about God. Not that I mind obviously, I just always thought of it as a love song between two people. Am I weird? 0.o

Postby **Scarecrow** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 1:21 pm

9/10 I love that song... but I always saw it as a song talking about God. I don't think I would like it as much if I thought it was about two people. When I first heard it years ago, I never heard of the band and had to check and see if the band was Christian cause I thought the lyrics very God directed. Although, when I heard it, I was going through a dark patch with depression and stuff. Maybe just thought it was talking about God cause that's how I wanted to feel about God who I felt disconnected from but knew I really needed him but just didn't feel like he was there. Also, the song was synced with clips from the movie Stay... a dreamlike, melancholy movie about a suicidal young man and a psychiatrist trying to stop him and figure out why he blames himself and wants to die (well there's a twist and it turns out the whole thing is in the mind of a dying man having a near death experience after a major car wreck. It used to be one of my favorite movies).

But yeah this song had me crying multiple times especially at the end where it picks up and I just always assumed it was about God. Even looking at the lyrics just now (haven't heard the song in years), I guess cause it's a guy singing it, it still seems very much like a song about God. I guess cause the guy is being so submissive... and words like hope, light, purpose, everything, take me deeper... etc etc etc.. I don't know yeah, I always thought it was a song to God.

Enya - Exile (Not a big Enya fan but I always loved this song...).

7.5/10 - Pretty powerful song. Not for daily listening, but it is a really affecting piece.

Wild Beasts "The Devil's Crayon"

Fear not: though the lyrics are cryptic, I do not believe they are sacrilegious.

7.5/10 Interesting stuff, the guys voice is kinda weird, but interesting enough to warrant a higher rating.

I definitly get where you are coming from. Before October of this year I wasn't a very religious person though. I was very simple-minded and assumed any song that spoke of great love was between that of two people. Knowing God in least a little better, when I listen to this song now I can understand how it is about him. I had a similer experience when I found out what the song Pieces by Red was about, also God! However, since I've thought of them as love songs between people for so long, I can't just make that sentiment disappear completly either, so in the end, I can see the songs as being both about love between people or love for God, depending on how the song is used or how the person listning is feeling or interperts it.

In the end, I've come up with this little philosophy. God IS love! God is the one who has given us the ability to love, he literally created love! Therefore, wherever there is love then there is God as well. Wither it is love for another person, a pet, or God Himself. With that in mind, that means God can be found in any song about love, even if the artist didn't intend for the song to be about God at all. In least that's what I think. xD I'll shut up now, I'm probably not even making any sense.

Now, on to TheSubtleDoctor's song. I'll give it a 5/10. It wasn't bad, but it didn't catch my interest either. Sorry!

Legaci & Summerbreeze - Replay

This is a cover of the original song by Iyaz, but I like this version better. I found this song kind of refressing with all the other crap you hear on the radio these days. Even if I like some of said crap, it gets annoying after not so long. One gets tired of songs being about drugs and sex or how great the artist is after awhile.
