CAKE: LONG TIME (LIVE!)


My all-time favorite band CAKE released a new song called 'Long Time,' the second single from their latest album, 'Showroom of Compassion.' The song is fleshed out with the band's trademark ska-influenced guitar riffs; dark chords held against sunny vocal harmonies; and, of course, a beefy trumpet solo.


CAKE rules and i'm happy to see them putting out something so Cakish!! =)

BRUNO MARS: TALKING TO THE MOON (PIANO ACOUSTIC)


"I know you're somewhere out there,
Somewhere far away..."

Do yourself a favor and listen to BRUNO MARS' Talking To The Moon,
an expansive ballad on which he gets to really flex his impressive vocals (reminiscent at times of Michael Jackson!)...He may be considered a "hook" artist by some, but there's no denying the diverse talent he possesses. Definitely looking forward to hearing and seeing more music from him!!

-lyrics-
No I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love
I loved the most

I learned to live, half-alive

And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are

Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I learned to live, half-alive

And now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are

Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises

And now you're back

You don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are

Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

And who do you think you are?
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?


Who do you think you are?


Who do you think you are?

Grammy winning singer COLBIE CAILLAT is back with a brand new single called I DO, taken from her upcoming third studio album ALL OF YOU. The upbeat, and happy single was written by Caillat and Toby Gad and produced by Greg Wells. She said 'I Do' is about marriage, but is "supposed to be sort of a joke and is hard to explain."



The new album will hit store shelves on May 3 (US) which feature special guests, including a track with hip-hop artist Common and a rumored collaboration with country band Lady Antebellum. =O
