On Repeat . Limitless

Limitless by Tonight Alive

Before my Romblon trip, I'm somehow getting over with CHVRCHES, FTSK and the B-sides of Paramore. I've been listening to that kind of Playlist ever since January (yep, that long). 

I'm gave Limitless a try and as usual, it's been on my iPod ever since. Haha. 

I fell in love to the songs. Obviously, every new album you can hear that the artist or the band grow up. I don't know if there is any artist who release an album in a span of a year usually it's 2, 3 or more than that before a band/artist release a new record unless it's a deluxe where they add one or two songs with acoustic or live. So if a new album drops, the artist really mature plus the inspiration of each song and their experience behind that. 

It's a 11 track album and you will hear everything in less than an hour. I can't pick a favorite because I can totally relate to some or can I say all of it? 

When the music video of "How Does It Feel" and "Human Interaction" was released, I thought I will not like the new album but I just find the music video misleading for some parts. Now, I can't deny that I love this album. 

This album makes me decide to push through my Romblon trip. It feels like Jenna is reminding me to get out there and enjoy life. (because I almost back out on that trip and I'm glad I didn't)

Here's the tracklist and a line that I like from each track. 

To Be Free - So don’t come looking for me | I don’t wanna be found | I just wanna run away and learn to be free

Oxygen - Just let me breathe my oxygen

Human Interaction - I don’t know love, I don’t know hate | I am numb, wish I could find the words to say

Drive - So I'm gonna drive tonight | Away from the city life

How Does It Feel - How can you say? | That I'm the only one | You only want your way

Waves - Your love comes in waves | Don't you ever wonder what it feels like?

Everywhere - I feel you everywhere | And when it rains | You're in the air

Power Of One - I can be strong and brave | But I have been lost and afraid

I Defy - You think that you own me | But you'll never take the best of me

We Are - But they're not gonna change the world | We are | They're not gonna save the world | We are

The Greatest - It takes lifetimes for some | To know what they're really here for

Nothing you could do

Nothing you could say

I am here at one

My light will never fade

And all that time I needed this change

It takes lifetimes for some

To know what they're really here for

Consider me a lucky one

Known since the day I was born

Cause here I am fearless

Here I am weightless

Here I am unbreakable

Here I am the greatest

Here I am soaring

Here I am flying

My love unconditional

Happiness undying

On Repeat . The Edge

The Edge by Tonight Alive

I'm so excited when I discovered that Tonight Alive will release a song that will be included on the soundtrack of "The Amazing Spiderman 2: The Rise of Electro".

When I finished watching the music video, I was speechless.    

But of course, I also love the lyrics. I assume that it was Emma's character that was singing and Jenna admitted that. She said that she wanted the song to be in Gwen's POV but at the same time she don't want to make Gwen weak but that one day she was already on 'The Edge'.

(I can't put the video but I posted the link below)

Official Music Video

Behind the Scene of The Edge

You said you'd stay, I said I'd wait

All those words we spoke in vain

I still recall the bitter taste

I guess some things never change

And then I think of yesterday

And every promise that you made

I never thought I'd be

The one that you would break

But I will fight until the day the world stops turning

And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight I need you to save me

I'm too close to breaking, I see the light

I am standing on the edge of my life

Standing on the edge of my life

Standing on the edge

So this is how it all turns out

You're the hero, I'm left out

I should've known you couldn't stand

Up for me and be a man

I still have dreams of you at night

I can't tell the dark from light

I never thought I'd be

The one you'd leave behind

But I will fight until the day the world stops turning

And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight I need you to save me

I'm too close to breaking, I see the light

I am standing on the edge of my life

With each step I hold my breath

And I'm tangled in your spiderwebs

How could, how could I fall

And I wonder if you'll ever come at all

But I will fight until the day the world stops turning

And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight I need you to save me

I'm too close to breaking, I see the light

I am standing on the edge of my life

I am standing on the edge of my life

Standing on the edge of my life

I am standing on the edge of my life

On Repeat . The Other Side

The Other Side by Tonight Alive

I got the new album of Tonight Alive 'The Other Side' but I haven't listen to it until awhile ago when I remembered that I have it already. While doing some errands, I listen to each track and (just to make clear this is not a full album review) one song that really shoot me in the heart is the single 'The Other Side'.

I don't need to explain or elaborate anything. This song, this really speak everything I want to say/sing, the lyrics is just so perfect. Omg. :(

Music Rules. I'm going to post the lyrics below the video.

This song means a lot to me. Why am I traaaap :(((

I was back in high school when
We were talking late from 10
Staying up till 3 AM
Just friends

You didn't have your license yet
We would lie under sunsets
Without a single worry yet
Just friends

And you would let me cut your hair
I thought about you everywhere
I haven't been the same since then
Just friends

Cause every time I ran
I ran to you
I meant it every time I said I loved you
I kiss the thought of you and I
I still regret the day that we said goodbye

And do you think of me at night
I still wish we could've made it right
You can't say that I never tried
I guess everything seems more clear
Here on the other side

I left you at the station where
I would cry and watch you stare
Out the window as you left
Just friends

I called you form a payphone line
Out of the country but I'm fine
I just miss you all the time
Just friends

Cause every time I ran
I ran to you
I meant it every time I said I loved you
I kiss the thought of you and I
I still regret the day that we said goodbye

And do you think of me at night
I still wish we could've made it right
You can't say that I never tried
I guess everything seems more clear
Here on the other side
Here on the other side

And there are so many things
I wanted to say
That I want so much
And you moved away
And I think of all the times that you were right
I wish I could explain

Cause every time I ran
I ran to you
I meant it every time I said I loved you
I kiss the thought of you and I
I still regret the day that we said goodbye

And do you think of me at night
I still wish we could've made it right
You can't say that I never tried
You can't say that I never tried

Cause every time I ran
I ran to you
I meant it every time I said I loved you
I kiss the thought of you and I
I still regret the day that we said goodbye

And do you think of me at night
I still wish we could've made it right
You can't say that I never tried
I guess everything seems more clear
Here on the other side

And if you're wondering
I'm great
I'm stronger now but still
The same
My love for you it will
Remain
My friend

On Repeat . Safe and Sound

Safe and Sound by Tonight Alive

This song reminds me of the love stories that I read for the past months but this is a perfect song for Faking It by Cora Carmack. Its been on my iBooks for months now and I just read it last week and what can I say, I fall in love again.

It also fits my dream earlier .... 

I don't know the story behind this song but if you want to know then 'google it'. :)

I can't explain it briefly but I love this and the lyrics says it all.

This makes me miss some people, makes me miss the feeling of falling

 and 

being safe and sound.   

Cause even if it all came crashing down

As long as you're around

I'll be safe and sound 

On Repeat . Amelia

Amelia by Tonight Alive

I'm pretty honest that I just started to listen to Tonight Alive mid-August when I finally played the 'Breaking and Entering' acoustic on Buzznet and here's my comment mid-way of watching it.

I'm totally aware of them since Sammy Roenfeldt is posting about them non-stop and I'm seeing them on Buzznet a lot lately because of their new album 'The Other Side'  and they are part of Bazooka Rocks 2 and I know that they've been here last year.

And I started to listen to 'What Are You So Scared Of?' And Daaaaang! Why did it took me so long before listening to them??? Better late than never ;)

Let's talk about the song, who is Amelia? According to what I read on some website, Amelia is Jenna's friend who died on an accident. If you listen to the song I believe that the lyrics speak for itself.  

Speaking from experience, I know how it feels to loose a family member and a friend while others are just so faaaaar away to be re-connect with but it has no difference at some point. I'm thinking about them when I listen to the song and somehow this song convince me that some people are really not meant to be reachable all the time.  

I find it sweet that Jenna wrote a song for her friend. Not everyone in this earth will have a song by their loved one or a friend in a band to let everyone know your name, your story or your friendship.

I have a thing for a slow or sad song.

So here is it. Listen to it and I hope you'll find the time to remember your old friend/s, and some loved ones. 

And now we must let you move forward

Our love lies with you

Our souls fly with you

Amelia
