Reggae in the Carnival

This time I'll talk about a band, not only a music. This band will always remind me the Carnival of 2007.

I love when people like the music I presented, and in that Carnival I turned O.A.R. on everybody liked. My best friends liked the music and O.A.R. was the main soundtrack of our carnival when in the house (rented for the carnival) or when driving.

There are few important songs from O.A.R., but it deserves its own post. Now, let´s enjoy one of their best songs, that, however, is not to do with any important moment of my life at the moment.

You can watch below a video showing scenes the carnival at Gonçalves - MG / Brazil, but youtube took off the sound, which was an O.A.R. song.

Band:O.A.R
Song: About an Hour Ago
Album: The Wanderer

Mr. Brightside...

Well, this is, finally, one song is part of my actual day-to-day.

Not only because I like and it's famous now, but because I'm living in Ireland, this song is simply in everyone's mouths!

The first moment that makes me remind this song is when I started to research about Amy Macdonald, one my current passions. She recorded a cover version, which is very good, and reminded me that these songs existed and was good.

But the moment linked to this song I'll never forget probably is way back home on 22nd December 2008.

I was walking through Grafton Street, Dublin centre, when I saw a small crowd around a guitar player (as it's pretty common in this street). As I approximated, they were in silence, and sudden started to play Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire. When they finished the music, I restarted to walk towards home... then, I heard, they were beginning to play Mr. Brightside. I gave in to the music and joined the crowd once again.

We sang other good songs such as Worderwall (Oasis), Iris (Googoo Dolls) and many others. But the song I'll never forget will be Mr. Brightside, by the Killers...
