Sometimes, all you need is a song to take you to another world ~
I read somewhere – “Music gives us an escape from our drama filled, teenage heart ache driven lives, a chance to actually be a part of something amazing. It gives us something amazing to believe in.” – Whoa!
My list of the most amazing songs/bands which make me feel invisible. Not hard, not loud, not distorting, just plain simple and magical !! The deep, meaningful lyrics allow you to like and imagine anything you want, without saying the point of it directly. My new age rock playlist -
1 – Lifehouse. I don’t care if the band is labelled as Christian or not. Nobody else does either. Its about the music they make. Its beautiful. The first song I listened to was Breathing. I fell in love with it right there!! Other favourites include Whatever it Takes and Everything.
2 – Goo Goo Dolls. Iris. Beautifully depressing !! Check out the band playing at the concert in the rain!! Whoa*
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.
3 – Hoobastank. The Reason. The End. ( Don’t you just admire the video ?! ).
4 – The Fray. How to Save a Life. If this reminds you of Grey’s Anatomy, this is it. It lost to Dani California by RHCP at the Grammy’s. The verses of the song describe an attempt by an adult to confront a troubled teen. In the chorus, the singer laments that he himself was unable to save a friend because he did not know how. Its just beautiful.
5 - Thunder by Boys Like Girls. ( Yeah, I know its a dumb name for a Band, but whatever! ) The acoustic version beats all other versions. I love every second of this song. Sucha beautiful voice as well!! Check out the song here.
( P.S.- I’m not an Incubus fan, but what the heck, I flicked the title from ‘em anyway! )

Incubus…………!!
The heading reminds me of a song (Pardon me) by Incubus…!!…..:)
Pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I’ve had enough of the world
and its people’s mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me…
I’ll never be the same!
Never be the same, yeah…
Pardon me, while I burst into flames…
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.

Iris… Wow.. There are 3 Iris I love.. Kate Winslet as 2 (The Holiday and Iris) and then this song… I remember listening this song first through City Of Angels exactly 10 years back and still I play it almost daily on the iPod…

Goo Goo Dolls ftw ! But thats my personal opinion, they are however underrated :/
Checkout their new album Let love in and the Song in Transformer movie. Their music has matured a lot with time and in a good way.
