ADELE "WHEN WE WERE YOUNG" LIVE

As we get closer to the release of Adele's new album "25" out this Friday the 20th of November. She keeps us in bloody anticipation with the release of the live version of what is rumored to be her next single "When We Were Young." I'm glad I heard this version before the studio version because it clarifies why I love Adele so much. She has complete control over her higher and lower register in this version of the song, which most artists fail miserably to do this day and age. And the lyrics make your veins run hot and heavy when you hear those lyrics in the chorus. "It was just like a movie, it was just like a song" it takes me back to when I was a teenager, and even a kid. I thought getting older would be the best thing ever. I was totally wrong, but at least I can look back on all the memories. And make new memories as an adult. Which is why this song will be ageless as you get older and older you can always look back on when you were young.

 



JoJo Music Video Premiere "Say Love"

 

Lets face it JoJo's tringle release was one of the best things to happen in 2015. I'm not going to talk about all the legal red tape she had to get through to get where she is now, because this is her future and we need to focus on her new music. After the beautiful masterpiece that is the "When Love Hurts" video we get the heart wrenching, raw, emotionally crafted "Say Love" video. The song is my favorite off the Tringle collection its very personal, and that chorus just wraps you tight in its arms and never lets go. The video is no disappointment set in the woods JoJo tries to get close to a man that wont open his heart fully to her. Going as far as not even holding her hand, and looking at her with closed eyes. As they drive along the perilous road of a distant relationship. Sometimes all you need to fix everything is to hear that 4 letter word LOVE! Watch until the ending to see what happens to the couple.

 

 

 

 



"No More"

 

Life is a trial for everyone. I know I've been through it hell I'm still going through that trial when you ask yourself "am I good enough," "am I smart enough," "does that person like me , or is it all a façade." It takes all the strength in the world for my mind to tell my body to get up in the morning, and that it will all be ok. I go through those pains because I have anxiety, depression, semi bi-polar, I have mood swings, and I had a bad childhood. I was never able to speak my mind because it made me scared shitless of what people would say if I did. When I hear the whispers they come at me at night, were they talking about me I will never know the truth. I take a pill every night so I don't feel the pain, and I'm ok with that. If that is what it takes to make anyone just a little bit better do it. Then there is the question I ask myself all the time. Do people have it worse than me? And the answer is yes they do. Celebrities are always in the spotlight getting ridiculed for every last thing they do. You cant even lick a donut because of a damn dare (and we all know if someone dares you to do it you have to do it no questions asked!) or the whole world comes down on you. Demi Lovato spent years making a album of self encouragement and instead of letting her fans enjoy it, as soon as you go on twitter you see people making fun of it. I can see why she made the album 'Confident' now the world is a fucked up place and you have to come back it with something much stronger Love, bravery, courage. Lady Gaga had to hide her face in public because of her anxieties and told us why she did it. But no the world still hindered and posted on social media sites how she should stop with the costumes. Now she is barely started to show us who she truly is. Because our own costumes come down eventually when we feel it is time, and we find the courage to say "NO MORE." Celebrities are strong, after all that ridicule and hate they still get up in the morning and do what they have to do! They don't give up no matter the odds. So why cant I be as brave as they are. The answer is because we are not them, we are our own human being, with our own feelings, our own ideas, and creativity. Yeah I love those artists and want to be like them, but take what they teach you and forge it into something new. I am just starting to become who I truly am, and who I want to become. Yeah I still am so scared to get up and go to class, but I would feel much worse if I would stay in bed all day. And if I can do it you can too. Most people feel the same way you do they have fear in their hearts that they try to conceal. And then their are people who only wake up to put you down. Show everyone everyday that you are bigger and stronger then the hate, and cruelty they give you, take that and turn it into something positive. Everyone goes through life with hardships, even the bullies don't let that defeat you as a person learn how to say "NO MORE."

A Personal Story Of 'Hello'

It brought a tear to my eye I thought of a failed relationship in my life. Telling myself they would forgive me and take me back, but they didnt. To be honest I hated Adele's '21' album it was like poison to me to me Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' album should of been the top album of 2011. but it wasn't the top album Adele literally blew away all the competition. I bought '21' the summer of 2011, only because I really wanted to see what all that hype was about? My favorite song off that record was 'I'll Be Waiting' it really captivated me because I was seeing someone that I knew would never love me back. But the LP as a whole didn't inspire me at that time. It took a broken heart to understand the full extent of the album of the year. Four years later I understand the power of Adele and I was fully ready for the lead single from the album '25.' 'Hello' is a song about reaching out to a past lover, friend, or family member however you want to interpret it. In my life a lot of people came and went and the hurt was always deep inside of me, like what if I would never get to see them again. I thought of all of that when I first heard 'Hello.' But one person stood out though a relationship at the beginning of this year. I just wanted to say sorry to that person for being such a jerk wanting to be drunk instead of going on dates, and just enjoying each others company. I guess the bottle was that much better than breaking a heart. The visuals for 'Hello' really inspired me to learn in my video class how to create a music video that breathtakingly beautiful. When the guy in the video puts his hands over his head wondering why this is happening. I thought of the person I was with and if they felt the same way when I broke their heart. The song is closure for me a seal that all I can do now is move on. I tried to fix it and say sorry but it never worked in the way I had hoped. Adele is truly in a league of her own she knows manipulate and craft a feeling into a song that connects with the whole world. And I know her single 'Hello' is just the beginning of the '25' era.

 



THE GENESIS

 

I say Genesis because it's truly the beginning of my new self, a stronger, wiser, and courageous new me. My birthday is October 6th 1990 so I just turned 25 and I feel I'm very knowledgeable about the music world. My brain thinks and breathes music 24/7. But the little town I live in restricts me from doing what I love songwriting, and music producing. I am in college right now for film/video and editing. Because I figure the next best thing besides music, is music videos.  I feel music videos are superior in the music world, it can make the song go from 100 on the billboard charts to number 1 instantly. Don't get me wrong music videos and the classes I take are great but I need to express myself about music in order to feel truly alive. I am brutally honest about the music I love, and the music I hate but I am honest in a way that I don't put people down for loving music that I dislike. People have their own feelings, thoughts, memories, and opinions about the music they love. Through this blog I want to share updates on new music coming out, reviews on songs/albums, billboard chart moves, oh and my opinions on the fan base wars that go on in social media sites. This blog is going to be an expression of love. It can be about anything I don't want this blog to be put into one genre, I just want to share what's on my Brain with your Brain. That's why I named this blog Brain On The Music. And I would like my fans and just the visitors who read the blog to share what's on their brain with my brain. So leave comments or just talk to me on Twitter my username is @Legendary0706 I'm really excited to share this new experience with everyone thank you.
