Song Review: Lonely Lullaby

ARTIST: Owl City
GENRE: Electronic
DATE RELEASED: July 19, 2011
THOUGHTS: This song breaks my heart just a little bit every time I hear it. It's a beautiful, sad song of loss, and it's sung so gently, and so genuinely, it makes me want to cry. You can practically see the memories hes describing, which gives this song another level of deepness. It's a delicate song sung with real emotion behind it, and trademark of Adam Young, this song lingers.
OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5. This song is brilliantly and gently crafted.

Song Review: I Fell In Love

ARTIST: Whitton
GENRE: Pop
DATE RELEASED: March 30, 2012
THOUGHTS: I stumbled on this via Pandora, and I fell in love with it! It's a sweet, simple love song, complete with banjos and clapping. This song sounds like sunshine to me, honestly. I got it stuck in my head instantly, and by the second chorus, I was singing along. I love the bouncy, sweet rhythm she gives the song, and the lyrics just make me grin. "You're like a piece of gold/ I wear ev'rywhere I go", "I wasn't looking for love/ until you flew in like a dove". I love this song!
OVERALL RATING: 4.5 out of 5. Her voice gets a bit irritating after a bit, but overall it's an adorable song. :^)

Song Review: All The Rowboats

ARTIST: Regina Spektor
GENRE: Alternative
DATE RELEASED: February 28, 2012
THOUGHTS: This is a wonderfully intense song, full of pounding drums and piano. In true Regina style, she  is abstract in her lyrics, talking about a museum and the sad life of an exhibit. It's a haunting song, and I can't get enough of it!
OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5 stars.

Song Review: Cristofori's Dream

ARTIST: David Lanz

GENRE: New Age

DATE RELEASED: 1988

THOUGHTS: This song is positively splendorous, with it's gentle, sparkling piano and it's slightly haunting melody. It reminds me of an old music box, with it's twinkling sounds and beautiful dynamics. This song makes me want to slowly dance around an empty dance hall in a flowing dress- too weird? That's how I feel when I listen to this. It IS a longer song- 6:08, but I think the time passes too quickly once you get caught up in the sounds of it. This is a piece of pure, unadulterated art if I ever heard one, and it is well worth the listen. It simply floats over your senses, leaving a pleasant feeling inside you.

OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5 stars, most definitely. This is a perfect song.
