Endlessly




There's a part of me you'll never know
The only thing I'll never show

Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
If the moment ever comes

It's plain to see it's trying to speak
Cherished dreams forever asleep
Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
If the moment ever comes

Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
But the moment never comes

- Endlessly (Muse: Absolution)

So I just woke up. Was still groggy so thought Id lie down for a "little" while more(don't we all :P). I turned on my ipod and tried goin' back to sleep(That is how I sleep :\ ). Didn't help. So again, I just woke up.


Tuned into Youtube and saw a new cover had come from a guy I subscribe to. I decided to give it a look. Was a song "Endlessly" by a band called Muse. Never heard of these guys or heard these guys before. But the song simply owns. Amazingly written and mind blowingly performed. Heard to some more of their songs and it looks like the band is in fact very very good. Look up some of their live stuff on Youtube. You wont regret it. I'm getting my Absolution disc as soon as the store opens. I recommend you do the same. :)


PS: Heres the cover of the song done by Dave Biggs aka xylopolist from Youtube. Awesome voice. His covers surely own. Do check out his other covers and his originals. This guy definitely knows his music XD.

Iris



And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.

-Goo Goo Dolls: City of Angels OST


This song is arguably one of the finest songs ever written. Goo Goo Dolls doesn't perform a ballad nor does it perform a no holds bound Alternative Rock anthem. What it does is perform a high energy ballad that retains, very very successfully, the essence if Alternative Rock.

In very simple terms, this song is a must listen to. Its right up there in the pure pwnage list. :)

PS: This song is also an example of why poop...oops pop singers shouldn't mess around with rock. In other words Ronan Keating's cover sucks. Seriously makes me cry and my ears bleed. And its even more obvious when you listen to the two songs back to back.
I also hear Avril Lavigne has covered this song too. Seriously, what the hell? STOP MESSING WITH A CLASSIC. And no Avril's not rock. Although she manages to shout quite a bit. :D
Shes better off with her own songs. Covering rock classics ain't exactly her thing. I still remember the way she r*ped Metallica's classic Fuel. And in front of Metallica too :D.

Anyways just go and listen to the original song. Simply speaking; It owns.
