This 12-year-old singer will amaze you with her level of talent



When I was 12-years-old, I think my greatest achievements at the time were along the lines of making some three-point shots in basketball and managing to not get struck out in baseball (I was terrible at baseball if you didn't happen to catch my drift). I know, I know, I set the bar really high for myself back then. But, in all seriousness, the bar for just about anyone was nowhere near the level of the young girl in the above video who will amaze you with her level of talent at such a young age. Go ahead and take a look and listen. 
The incredible 12-year-old singer is one Billie Tweddle with an original song entitled "Headlights". The song was performed for Ont' Sofa, who does a series of music sessions with talented musicians. And there is no question in this blogger's mind that Billie Tweddle is definitely one very talented musician and probably going to be getting a lot of attention in the near future. I'll definitely be watching to see what she does next. If you'd like to go to Billie Tweddle's Twitter page to learn more about her you can click here and for more music from Ont' Sofa click here.

Wild Ones [Flo Rida Cover] Timeflies


Great covers of a variety of songs and artists, such as Lana Del Rey, Arcade Fire, Kid Cudi, Train, and more.
I found all of these songs on YouTube, so you can just click the little YouTube button (shown on the name of the track) and download them from there, as opposed to me emailing you the links. Thanks for liking my playlist and enjoy!

Surprising Stories Behind Famous Rock& Roll Lyrics


One of the best things about rock&rollâin addition to the sex and drugs, of course”are the sweet, often obscure lyrics. Sometimes they âre political or spiritual, the rockers attempt to get serious; other times they’re just nonsense, the product of dope and booze. The best rock ând  roll lyrics are the mysterious ones. Of course, sometimes they have no real meaning, but are just gibberish (for example, every Grateful Dead song). But sometimes there âs a real story about how those lyrics came about. So, with that as our inspiration, here we present to you 9 Rock ‘n’ Roll Songs with Weird or Surprising Stories Behind their Lyrics. Sometimes it’s crazy, sometimes it’s just not what you think, or sometimes it’s a lot deeper than you realized. But each of these classic songs has a story.

Linkin Park's 'BURN IT DOWN' Video:

On the upcoming LIVING THINGS album, Linkin Park veer away from the political territory they explored on Minutes to Midnight and A Thousand Suns, and instead mine decidedly personal topics — relationships crumbling, trust eroding, faith failing. In a lot of ways, it is perhaps the most aptly titled record in recent history.
As proof, look no further than the first single, "BURN IT DOWN," which is full of lines like "I played the soldier, you played the king/ Struck me down, when I kissed that ring," none of which are about empire building or military service. Instead, the song is very much about the give/take dynamics of a relationship, and what happens when it all falls apart.
