Ecstasy La Sober

Well it's a new month and you know what that means for my blog. New music of course. This blog title is of course inspired by the three songs I choose to be the soundtrack for this month. Kinda like the last title which used all three songs, Ecstasy La Sober actually makes more sense then Welcome to the Running Hurricane.

The explanation of it would be we all live in ecstasy but soon or later we will come back down and need to be sober. I can relate to this. I just completed writing 'Run' and I was on cloud nine. However as time went home the high went away and now I find myself trying to write again but coming up blank. I was on a high and now I am sober.

The irony of this through I did not think about this till I picked the title (literally 20 mins ago). I picked these three songs because they are among my nine favorite songs right now. So without further ado.

Sober by Pink: I'm a big fan of Pink especially her 'Can't Take Me Home' days. Over the years she has changed more into a punk rock chick and less the r'n'b diva she was. Sometimes it worked ('Like a Pill', 'Family Portrait') and sometimes it did not ('Trouble'). I can say through 'Sober' is definitely one of my favorite songs by her. From my first listen I knew I would grow to love this song and I have. It's a very deep song and anyone can relate.

Viva La Vida by Coldplay: Viva La Vida translates into Long Live Life and once again Coldplay makes an appearance on my blogger. Unlike 'Sober', I did not gravitate to this song from first listen. The video directed by Hype Williams however was definitely eye catching so it keep the song in my mind. However as time went home I listened to the song more and I grew to appreciate it more and more. One of my favorite bits is when the band comes in and chants with Chris. The lyrics are deep as well which is always good.

Ecstasy by Danity Kane: R.I.P. DK. I am among the Danity Kane fans that are sad that they have broken up and no longer making good music like this. Like 'Sober' I knew I would like this song from first listen. Sure Rick Ross' rap wasn't needed but as it stands the song is still awesome. I love the build to the epic final chorus. This song definitely takes me to ecstasy. No pun intended.

Well enjoy
