That song review by Cory Kay- Usher- Yeah

Image
I am starting this new series of song reviews with one of my all time favorite songs ( for dancing on it). I am going to explain the lyrics. ( So deep) [not.] [Usher:]   Peace up! A Town Down!  Usher salutes the A town :)) he says peace....so yeah that is a good start, no violence there, homies!  [Lil' Jon:]   Yeah, (Yeah!) OK! Lil' Jon agrees and wants to start this party already...which is actually a pick-up game. Same old story in any club. Girl meets boy. Girl drags boy in a corner and rapes him. Or not... But people actually do that sometimes.  (Usher! Usher! Usher! Usher!) [Lil' Jon:]   Lil' Jon! They introduce themselves to the cheering public. Yeah!  [Usher:] Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah! See? Told you so. Yes is a powerful word. It is positive and way better than no. They use the law of attraction. [Usher (Verse 1):] Up in the club with my homies, tryna get a lil' V-I, but keep it...

Songs to inspire and motivate you

Image
It has become quite the addiction for me to blend my writing with my music choices. I admit that I don't do a lot of writing in these posts but trust me that I spend hours searching for the right songs because I need to remember them. Imagine the joy I have when I remember a song I like!  My last two posts were about breakup songs, sad songs. Not so fun, huh? Well...life is not all rainbows and fluffy bunnies or pink unicorns. Life has it's ups and downs and how better to express feelings if not through music. But enough with the introductions. In this post I am going to share with you a selection of songs that inspire you and motivate you. I hope you will enjoy them.  Trapt-Headstrong    Soil-Pride Linkin Park-Faint Fort Minor-Remember the name Pillar-Frontline Three Days Grace-Riot Skillet-Collide Disturbed-Alive Disturbed-Indestructible Static-X-The Only Jessie J-Who's Laughing now High and Mighty Color- Ichirin no hana Hazel Fernandez-Num...

Childhood memories

Image
     Not so long ago I was just a kid. Now I am a kid at heart and in spirit. ( and in mind, I tell you that) I can remember that my childhood was beautiful. No stress, no cares, no drama, it was mostly just fun and games and discovering the world around.       Something that made a huge difference in my life was the fact that I had access to Cartoon Network. Yep, don't laugh. Without it I wouldn't have discovered my love for the English language. Well, actually I would have but much later on in school, 3 years later to be exact. Why does that even matter? Probably it doesn't but I just wanted to let you know that speaking and writing in English is something that I absolutely love and I can't forget where it all started. Well, probably it started very long ago in another life but let's just focus on this one for now.        I want to post here a series of things that made my childhood great. Oh, I am a '90s kid. Gotta lov...

Breakup songs...

Image
         Sometimes friendships, relationships, marriages, alliances, etc. come to an end. It happens to us all at some point. We lose someone we care about. And it's sad, but it's not the end of the world. Life still goes on. To mourn a loss by listening to songs...the best way there is. At least, one of the best ways that have worked for me. I give you a list with some carefully selected songs, breakup songs. Enjoy! :) (and by enjoy I mean cry your heart out and try to heal). I wanted to make this post because I heard one of these songs today and I remembered how I used to listen to them when I lost some friends. ( no, they are not dead. they are alive and well but are not my friends anymore).        POD-Will you   POD-Goodbye for now   Fort Minor-Believe me  Trapt-Disconnected    SR 71- Goodbye   Three Days Grace- I hate everything about you    Yellowcard- Way Away ...

Songs, singers, bands.

Image
     I want to know you guys. I consider that we can be friends. If you are actually reading my blog because you chose to do so it already means that we have some things in common. And even if we don't have so many things in common we are all connected. The world should be one big happy family. I know, I know. I am talking about utopia, heaven on earth. But I do believe it is possible. Someday the world will be a better place because the change starts from within us.      I want to talk to you about my favorite songs, bands and singers. I do believe that the music you listen to is a big part of who you are. Even if some people may disagree I still believe this to be true.       When I was a kid I would listen to lots and lots of R&B, dance, reggae, you name it. I want to share with you some of the songs that made me jump out of my bed and dance like crazy in front of the mirror. ( because yep, I did that and it was fun). ...

Vampires and rock music

Image
        Oh, the perfect match that is between vampires and rock music. It's just perfect for them.       As you probably know from my previous posts, I love the vampire Lestat. That is why I read The Vampire Chronicles by Ann Rice. I recommend those books. If you love vampires, real vampires. The modern vampires are not that good. I don't quite like the idea of vampires being out in the daylight. They are creatures born in darkness and in darkness they must live, that is their curse. If they can have a normal life and go to Starbucks by day or to the Mall, what kind of vampire is that? No, I like my vampires old-school. That is why some of the secondary characters in the fantasy novel I am working on are vampires. But they live in darkness, they feed on human blood.       One of the best movies about vampires is Interview with the vampire . I've watched it more than 100 times. Tom Cruise is the perfect Lestat. He portrai...
