Since I’m going to see them tomorrow, I decided to honor Almost Kings in this post. Although, actually, I don’t need an excuse to honor them…I love them so much that their songs are pretty much always a top pick ❤

Almost Kings — “Bounce,” from the album Filthy Nice (2009).

Song of the Week: “They Say Vision”

If you don’t know this song, I’m not surprised. It was the only single from Res that ever got any notice–and even then, the attention came from VH1 and virtually no one else. Still, I thought it was a fantastic song. My mom and I used to listen to it every day before I went to school.

Song of the Week: “Tourniquet”

So after hearing that Marilyn Manson is coming to town in April, I just had to honor them in a Song of the Week post. I have been waiting 15 years to see this band; needless to say, I am practically dying from excitement!

This has always been one of my favorites from them. In fact, I’m fairly positive this was the first song I fell in love with…even before “The Beautiful People.” ❤

Marilyn Manson – “Tourniquet,” from the album Antichrist Superstar (1996).

Song(s) of the Week: “Parabol” & “Parabola”

I dedicate this post to my brother, who is one of the biggest Tool fans I know. I myself am not overly crazy about them, but I do love these two tracks. I get chills every single time I hear either one or the combination of both.

Tool — “Parabol” and “Parabola,” from the album Lateralus (2001).

Song of the Week: “Moth”

Everything about this song is perfect, and I could listen to it on repeat all day, but what really sells it for me are these lyrics:

“The ruler of the kingdom that ends up the pawn,
So tired of thinking of where it all went wrong,
Friendships they come and go and sometimes they end,
Wouldn’t dream in a million years that this would be one of them.
Faith in the life, belief to the end,
Failure’s not an option, but the options exist,
I gave up my everything, I give till I bleed,
Take it all, take everything just take it from me.”

❤

HellYeah — “Moth,” from the album Blood for Blood (2014).

Song of the Week: “Leave It Alone”

Legitimately, I should just do an “Album of the Week” instead, because I would highly recommend that everyone listen to All I Was from beginning to end. I borrowed it from my brother and it hasn’t left my CD player in a week. He’s not getting it back until I have my own copy (currently on its way to my house, thanks to Amazon.com).

However, I will stick to the “Song of the Week” thing and give y’all my favorite track
