Reblogging b/c I won’t be back till much later, round the 15th (you’ve even got me writing short hand!), and I will have more time to give these all a good listen then. I can say that I’ve heard the 30STM, Acceptance, Anberlin, Death Cab, Evanescence, Radiohead, & TFT songs before (and have been very slowly learning “Burn The Night Away,” though I need to get the proper tuning). Side note: I might be able to do some vocals, but my range is VERY low. Very. Haha.

TO MY FOLLOWERS, if you play bass and are interested in doing a few cover songs for a CD (with me and a few others), please hit up thesharkthatstopswimming!

10 hr flight. Need some fresh tunes.

Suggestions, anyone? Here’s what I mostly listen to:

◦The Maine
◦There for Tomorrow
◦My Chemical Romance
◦Taking Back Sunday
◦Family Force 5
◦Does It Offend You, Yeah?
◦The Academy Is…
◦Acceptance
◦Copeland
◦Green Day
◦The Killers
◦Mae
◦30 Seconds to Mars

But, I’m game for anything. So… recommendations?

Learning "Different" by Acceptance...

It’s one of my favorite songs of all time, and I have no idea why I didn’t start learning it sooner.

help?

delicateinsecurities:

i need some suggestions on songs related/about either:

-surviving.

-hope.

-abuse.

-rape.

-eating disorders.

-pain.

-inspirational songs.

-meaningful songs.

please help, the only real genres im not totally into are rap and gospel. <3 

but if a song stands out to you, just let me know <3

 I thought it would be easier to reblog this than fit all the songs I can think of into 160 characters (yes, I did go through my iPod). Hopefully you’ll see my response.

  • I listen to a bunch of stuff by There for Tomorrow (TFT). Their whole album A Little Faster is inspirational.
  • The song “Breathe” by Ryan Star.
  • Become Who You Are” by Mainstay, though it kind of has a Christian rock vibe. Still an awesome song.
  • Anything by the band Acceptance (also considered a Christian rock band, sorry).
  • The bands The Maine and Mae.
  • Show Me What I’m Looking For” by Carolina Liar.
  • Jar of Hearts” by Christina Perri.
  • Letters from the Sky” by Civil Twilight.
  • Anything by Copeland, though be warned, their album Eat, Sleep, Repeat is about depression and might not be uplifting; their album Beneath Medicine Tree is uplifting, however (the songs “Brightest,” “Testing the Strong Ones,” “Take Care“… fuck it, just buy the album).
  • I am an Elton John fan as well.
  • My Immortal” by Evanescence. Love that song…
  • How to Save a Life” and “Look After You” by The Fray.
  • The Reason” by Hoobastank.
  • Just Give it Time” by Jon McLaughlin.
  • Therapy,” “Weightless,” “Jasey Rae,” and “Lullabies” by All Time Low; their other stuff is catchy too.
  • Take Me Away” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” by Oasis.
  • Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam.
  • Making a Memory” by Plain White T’s.
  • Face Down” by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
  • Move to the Other Side of the Block” by The Rocket Summer.
  • A Little Opera Goes a Long Way” by Sky Sailing.
  • Shark in the Water” by V.V. Brown.
  • From Yesterday” by 30 Seconds to Mars.
  • Feeling Good” by Michael Buble.

My favorite current song, “Old Picture” by Maika Maile (a free download on mediafire, it’s not on iTunes).

Basically, I recommend downloading using Mediafire except for bands that are still trying to make it big, like There for Tomorrow is. TFT also has a new album coming out—if you want to check out some more awesome music, just Youtube The Verge and see some of their singles. I also have tons of their stuff on http://escapistapprentice.tumblr.com/tagged/THERE_FOR_TOMORROW.

Hope you find this helpful and best wishes! =)
