Nightmare Revisited

Every few years Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, and team see it fit to re-issue "The Nightmare Before Christmas" soundtrack, and add a bonus CD with covers of all the song by current artists. This year was one of those years!

"The Nightmare Before Christmas" really is a classic. It was a movie that was ahead of it's time in stop motion animation technology. Not to mention it had an amazing score/soundtrack written and composed by master of movie music Danny Elfman.

The music is really what made the movie so magnificent. More than a decade later people still line up yearly to see the movie in theatres (in 3D), and kids (and adults too) sing along with the great songs.

Nightmare Revisited takes today's artists and gives us the songs we loved from the movie, with a twist.



The Track list
Coupled By My Opinion Of Each Song


1.Overture-DeVotchKa
[This track really got me. It's quite the opening. The style is almost Cirque Du Soleil. Very circus. An absolutely wonderful start to the CD!]

2.Opening-Danny Elfman
[This isn't that different than the original which was narrated by actor Patrick Stewart. I do think that Danny's voice has a very neat sound to it though, especially since he did Jack's vocals in the original]

3.This Is Halloween-Marilyn Manson
[Definitely a Manson track. Creepy as ever. Has some techno undertones, but sticks with the goth sound that Marilyn does so well.]

4.Jack's Lament-The All-American Rejects
[This isn't my favorite track, by any means. Tyson's voice seems a bit whiny for the song...not as good as it could have been.]

5.Doctor Finklestien/In The forest-Amiina
[This was really nice. There's a slightly Asian backbone to the song, and I love the deep strings (Bass I think?) that keep the beat. It also has a music box feel.]

6.What's This?-Flyleaf
[One of my favorite tracks on the CD. Flyleaf did an amazing job. The song is quite a bit slower and more melancholy than the original (and definitely more so than Fall Out Boy's cover from the last special edition!). Lacey's voice really shines in this song.]

7.Town Meeting Song-The Polyphonic Spree
[The beginning of this song was really cool, futuristic! Lol. Almost David Bowie's Space Oddity sounding. Actually, the whole song had a Bowie-esque sound to it. I liked how they changed the vocal melody...it's like a completely new song. Towards the middle it gets a bit Broadway sounding. It's really something new.]

8.Jack and Sally Montage-The Vitamin String Quartet
[Exactly the excellence you'd expect of Vitamin. Beautiful strings. I could listen to this over and over.]

9.Jack's Obsession-Sparklehorse
[Falsetto. That really sums it up lol. I will say though that the acoustic guitar is quite beautiful, as well as the vocal melody, which like in The Town Meeting Song was changed. There's the faint hint of something that could be a lullaby, maybe.]

10.Kidnap The Sandy Claws-Korn
[Classic Korn. Creepy, strange vocalizations, the whole nine yards.]

11.Making Christmas-Rise Against
[Love the electric guitar opening! And being a Rise Against fan, I'm kinda biased, but I'll say that I really liked this. Very hard-core. Love it.]

12.Nabbed-Yoshida Brothers
[Done in a very beautiful classical Japanese style, with a techno/dance twist. Really great.]

13.Oogie Boogie's Song-Bordrigo y Gabriella
[Spanish! It has that wonderful acoustic guitar flair you get from Spanish flamenco music.
This is the first track on the CD that takes a song that originally had vocals and made it instrumental.]

14.Sally's Song-Amy Lee
[What can I say other than gorgeous when describing Amy's voice? She just owned this song. It's haunting. I love the extra Goth she added to the song. Absolutely amazing, brilliant, beautiful!]

15.Christmas Eve Montage-Rjd2
[Electro. Fun. Christmas with it's own neat little spin. All I can say is it's way fun to listen to, and you can definitely dance to it!]

16.Poor Jack-Plain White T's
[I liked this one. Tom's voice really complimented the song, it's not very unlike the original Elfman version. This song really shows a side of Tom's voice I've never heard, he has quite a range. This exceeded my expectations. Really a good song.]

17.To The Rescue-Datarock
[More electro, techno, synth-pop, whatever-you-wanna-call-it. I'm also a Datarock fan, and I can say they did quite the job on this instrumental piece. Fun stuff.]

18.Finale/Reprise-Shiny Toy Guns
[I love how it starts with a almost "broken carousel" version of "Here Comes Santa Clause" with the guys in the band creepily whispering "la-la-la-la". Then it goes hard-core on us. They even through in a few "Phantom" style organ chords. Another curve, it turns into a very pretty ballad, with church style organs. Again, vocal melodies have been changed, but it's all for the better. The song is really great.]

19.Closing-Danny Elfman
[Same as opening really. Just the original piece narrated by Elfman instead of Stewart]

20.End Title-The Album Leaf
[A very clam, pretty, instrumental end to the CD. Kinda makes me that warm kind of sleepy when I hear it.]



Anyway, it's a great album with surprises around every corner. Be sure to get a listen! Truly a great album, and definitely the best so-far of the Nightmare remakes.

I'm going to share one of (because there's no possible way to fit all of them!) my favorite tracks, Flyleaf's version of "What's This?.

Enjoy!





What's This?-Flyleaf


Lyrics

What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's people singing songs

What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What's this?

There's children throwing snowballs
instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead

There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside

Oh, look
What's this?
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What's this?

What's this?
In here they've got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?

They're covering it with tiny little things
They've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?

Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure them in their dreamland...

What's this?

The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around

Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
are absolutely everywhere

The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt this good before
This empty place inside of me has been filling up
I simply cannot get enough

I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know
I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?

Metro Station - "Metro Station"

I enjoy listening to Metro Station much more than I would have ever anticipated.
I got a chance to listen to their debut album (Metro Station, released in 2007) for the first time recently and I must say, I am highly impressed. Their songs are made for the dance floor, with an irresistible beat and just the right touch of character. A few passionate lyrics thrown in make the tracks relate-able without losing their memorable charm.
So, maybe Metro Station isn't about making a statement or changing the world. These boys just want to get out and have some fun; and man, they're doing it, in a big way. While they may lack the depth of some other chart-topping artists, this band's free spirit and wild side keep them ahead of the rest.
Here's an album review for Metro Station's first studio effort.

Metro Station - Metro Station (2007)

1. Seventeen Forever - A good, solid track to start off the album. Slower through the verses and picking up in the chorus, this one follows a theme that seems to be a constant through Metro Station's debut; a song about young love and living for the moment ("We won't be seventeen forever, and we can get away with this tonight"). A really pleasant song to listen to; it just has a good vibe about it.
2. Control - The second track starts off with a quiet keyboard part before breaking out into a catchy dance beat. A little faster than the preceding track, this one is sexy and is just begging to be played in a dance club somewhere.
3. Kelsey - Such a soft, sweet track. An ode to one lover from another, it's one of those plain, honest love songs that just makes you feel good. The keyboard dominates this track, but in a simpler form than in others on the album. Everything about this song is just nice; it's simplicity is what makes this song great.
4. Shake It - Everybody's favorite, no? The fourth track on this album hit major mainstream success, topping charts across the country. With such an undeniable beat, it's got people on the dance floor all over the place. This one can't be beat for a bunch of teens - or older, perhaps - who just want to get out and have some fun for a night.
5. Wish We Were Older - Slowing it down a bit for track five, Metro Station puts a little more passion in this track without losing their dance club vibe. Again, seductive lyrics mask a message that may run a little bit deeper. The hook in the chorus makes you want to get up and move, while the bittersweet lyrics and overall vibe of the song keep you digging deeper into this track.
6. Now That We're Done - Again, a softer keyboard supports this track throughout. Like the track previous, Metro Station puts a passionate spin on a catchy dance beat to make a truly interesting listen. The repetitive, techno-style chorus is unforgettable. This track is one of my favorites on the album.
7. True To Me - The guitars pick up to give this track a little more of a pop-rock vibe than the rest of the album. A keyboard, however, still pounds out a catchy theme during the choruses, in which the lyrics and style screams pop. Not the strongest track on the album, but still fun all the same. The lyrics are sweet.
8. Tell Me What To Do - This track opens up strong, with a hook that keeps you tapping your toes all the way through. Again, lover's lyrics flow seamlessly over the staccato beat to produce a song that's really got more to offer than you realize the first time you listen. Another one of my favorites on the album; the bridge may be my favorite part.
9. California - Possibly the weakest track on the album, in my opinion. This song screams "spring break road trip"; not only in the lyrics, but in the pop-y, fast-paced beat and carefree vibe. A fun song to listen to, but definitely not one of my favorites.
10. Disco - Metro Station wraps it up with the third track which I put on my list of album favorites. This track just seems very well composed overall; a perfect use of different instrumental and vocal parts compliment each other beautifully. I like how they break away from the dance beat for a moment in the chorus of this song; it gives the whole track a very special presence. The lyrics tie together a gorgeous song to end the band's debut.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of this style of music, Metro Station has combined the styling of several different genres to create songs - and a debut album! - that really appeals to me. If Metro Station sounds interesting to you, I encourage you to check out the following links.

Check out Metro Station's website to learn more about the band.

The lyrics for all the songs on the debut album and more can be found on this website.

In an effort to broaden your horizons past the ever-popular Shake It, I'm going to post a music video for another of Metro Station's fun, upbeat tracks. I think the video represents the song perfectly, as well as what this band's music really stands for - all the wacky, crazy times Metro Station thrives on.
Here's Control by Metro Station.

Disturbia

It's as if Rihanna can do no wrong!
This talented artist has had at least one chart-topping hit on every album she' released! Pon de Replay became an instant dance club hit when it was released on Rihanna's 2005 debut, Music of the Sun. In 2006, A Girl Like Me boasted the ever-popular S.O.S (Rescue Me) as it's opening track. And in 2007, Rihanna's third studio effort, Good Girl Gone Bad, sported three well-loved singles; Umbrella, Don't Stop The Music, and Shut Up And Drive. And now it seems even her remixed versions of old albums are popping up with hits of their own!
Now, after recently remixing her latest album, Rihanna has brought Disturbia back into the spotlight. Mildly popular at the time of its original release, the song has catchy beats and is easy to dance to (would it be Rihanna any other way?). However, the original release was just a little to ordinary to gain huge success. But this remixed track steps it up a notch, giving the song just enough of a unique touch to stick in the heads of listeners everywhere.
But while I think the remixed version of Disturbia is good, I don't like the song well enough to have posted it on this blog. Then why, you may ask, is Disturbia featured on music.is.life?
The music video.
This video is unlike anything we've ever seen from Rihanna. She really pushed the limits as far as what would be "accepted" by her fans and by fans of the genre. I'm sure plenty of Rihanna fans watched this music video for the first time and went "... what happened to Rihanna?!?" The video is, well, disturbed. Rihanna took so many chances with this video, and for that, I commend her.
This is Disturbia, by Rihanna.

Sorry about the ad at the bottom of the video. It was so hard finding a version of the video that could be embedded in this post! I had to settle for this :(

What's wrong with me?
Why do I feel like this?
I'm going crazy now

No more gas in the rig
Can't even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said
Can't even speak about it
All my life on my head
Don't want to think about it
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah

It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
It's too close for comfort

Throw on your break lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must faulter be wise
Your mind is in

Disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight?
Your mind is in
Disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia ...

Faded pictures on the wall
It's like they talkin' to me
Disconnectin' your call
Your phone don't even ring
I gotta get out
Or figure this s*** out
It's too close for comfort

It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
I feel like a monster

Throw on your break lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must faulter be wise
Your mind is in

Disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight?
Your mind is in
Disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia ...

Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain
But I'm struggling
You can't go, go, go
I think I'm going to oh, oh, oh

Throw on your break lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must faulter be wise
Your mind is in

Disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight?
Your mind is in
Disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia ...

Jesse Buy Nothing. . .Go To Prom Anyways

I first heard this song early last year when I checked Hellogoodbye's self titles debut EP out from the library (the original, with the Avocado on the cover "Mush Slowly And Guac").
At first I wasn't sure that it actually was Hellogoodbye. The sound was so different, but I LOVED it! It's absolutely hilarious!

This song is done in a slightly screamo style, in a German accent, sung by Jesse Kurvink, not Hellogoodbye's vocalist Forest Kline. The Lyrics were also written by Jesse. This song shows the versatility of Hellogoodbye, who're normally branded as emo-pop and nothing else.

I found the liner notes for this song really funny. In the original EP's sleeve, where the lyrics are printed for all the other songs the phrase "Unintelligible German Screaming" is printed in place of lyrics.

Have Fun and enjoy the song! It'll bring you some giggles!
I wasn't able to find a real music video for the song, but found this fan-made one. It's funny, and adds to the humour of the song. . .anyway Enjoy!

Jesse Buy Nothing. . .Go To Prom Anyways-Hellgoodbye





Prom with Jesse!!!

Prom is coming

And fast dance
And clap, clap, clap our hands (clap, clap, clap)

My moves will be so hot
You'll have to stand under the fan

This dance will be better
Than your favorite ice cream
I cut like a knife
And I dance just like a dream

Will you go to prom with me
And dance, and dance, and dance, and dance, and dance, and dance.
Will you go to prom with me
And dance, and dance, and dance, and dance, and dance, and dance.

Kremlin Dusk

It seems that I've been contributing a lot of dance/electro style music to the site lately, and in realizing that I'm amazed that I haven't shared this song yet, or this artist for that matter.

Utada Hikaru is a multi-national artist, recording both here and in Japan. She was born in New York, and grew up speaking both languages (English and Japanese), thus perfecting both dialects. So when she sings in English it's clear, and when she sings in Japanese it clear. But her pronunciation isn't the only thing that's clear! Her voice is wonderful. She has a clear, full, voice with an amazing range.

She's best known in the US for her contributions to the Kingdom Hearts video games soundtracks. Especially her song Simple and Clean. What many people don't know is that she has released many albums both her and in Japan, the styles of her albums reaching from rock to dance to R&B.

Kremlin Dusk is my favorite of her songs. There's something about how she sings this, her heart goes into it. The melody is soft, starting with a slightly melancholy tone to it. Then it slowly builds into something more forceful.
Her voice soars to this beautiful note as she sings the ends of the phrases.

The lyrics have this longing to them. . .a beautiful longing though.

Enjoy.

Kremlin Dusk-Utada Hikaru


All along I was searching for my Lenore
In the words of Mr. Edgar Allan Poe
Now I'm sober and "Nevermore"
Will the Raven come to bother me at home.

Calling you, calling you home
You. . .calling you, calling you home

By the door you said you had to go
Couldn't help me any anymore
This I saw coming, long before
So I kept on staring out the window

Calling you, calling you home
You. . .calling you, calling you home

I am a natural entertainer, aren't we all
Holding pieces of dying ember
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Who can I call

Home. . .calling you, calling you

I run a secret propaganda
Aren't we all hiding pieces of broken anger
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Can I call

Born in a war of opposite attraction
It isn't, or is it a natural conception
Torn by the arms in opposite directions
It isn't, or is it a Modernist reaction

Born in a war of opposite attraction
It isn't, or is it a natural conception
Torn by the arms in opposite directions
It isn't, or is it a Modernist reaction

Is it like this
Is it always the same
When a heartache begins, is it like this
Do you like this
Is it always the same
Will you come back again
Do you like this

Is it always the same
Will you come back again
Do you like this
Oh, do you like this
Is it like this
Is it always the same
If you change your phone number, will you tell me

Is it like this
Is it always the same
When a heartache begins, is it like this
If you like this
Will you remember my name
Will you play it again, if you like this

Freezepop

Most people (including myself) that have heard of Freezepop have heard of them through games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
When I first played "Less Talk More Rokk" on guitar hero two (other than thinking about how hard the song was to beat lol) I thought it was one of the happiest poppy songs I'd heard in the longest time, and I really wanted to find more out about Freezepop. So I went to my library, which has every CD imaginable, and yes they had Freezepop!
I immediately checked out "Fancy Ultra Fresh" and "Freezepop Forever", falling even more in love with the up tempo synth-pop. I don't think it's possible to listen to these guys and keep a bad mood.
Liz Enthusiasm's vocals are nice and low-key but add such a sweet sound to the energetic keyboard and synth boards of The Other Sean T. Drinkwater and The Duke Of Candied Apples. Lol yes those are the names the members of Freezepop go by. Fun huh?

I encourage the purchase of any and all of their albums/EPs/re-mixes. They all have their own feel, yet are still distinctly Freezepop.

Freezepop is two parts Synth-pop, one part Popsicle, and all the neon colored soda in the world.

Songs you should check out:
Vacation
Duct Tape My Heart
Tenisu No Boifurendo
Plastic Stars
Bike Thief
I Am Not Your Gameboy

I can assure you that Freezepop will make any day a summer day, and that from the moment you press "play" you'll feel like you're at a beach party with a frozen lemonade.

Enjoy!

Less Talk More Rokk:

Here (In Your Arms)

I have to say that I'm madly in love with Hellogoodbye's song Here (In Your Arms).
Like usual, it's the lyrics. Another sweet, honest love song that completely melts my heart. That, matched with the techno/dance beat of this track make it more or less irresistable. An extremelly fun song to listen to that makes you feel good, too.
I encourage fans of this type of music to check out the rest of the Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! album. Almost all the tracks on that album, which is Hellogoodbye's latest, are very techno style and tons of fun to listen to. However, Here (In Your Arms) is the obvious standout, in my opinion; it has won me over in the same way it has fans of Hellogoodbye and otherwise.
Personally, I think the music video is ridiculous, and extremelly distracting from what I think is the message behind the song. I think Hellogoodbye could have done much better with the video ... but that's just me.
Anyway, here it is; Here (In Your Arms) by Hellogoodbye.

I like, where we are
When we drive, in your car
I like, where we are... here

Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch... here

Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whispers "Hello, I miss you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be, but here in your arms

I like, where you sleep
When you sleep, next to me
I like, where you sleep... here

Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch... here

Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whispers "Hello, I miss you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be, but here in your arms

Our lips, can touch
Our lips, can touch...here

Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me

What Hurts The Most

I know there has already been a post made on music.is.life about this song (Rascal Flatts' version has been featured on this site), but yet another version of this song has been recorded; this time, by dance diva CASCADA.
A lot of people may not enjoy this version of What Hurts The Most, which has been sung a thousand times over by various artists in a wide range of genres. Some people may argue that CASCADA's trademark dance club style, was not true to the powerful and moving lyrics of this song. I thought I would be one of those people. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed CASCADA's version of this song almost more than Rascal Flatts', although I must admit the country stars' video blows CASCADA's out of the water.
I've already fallen in love with this song, as much of the music world has. Now, let's fall in love all over again with a quick listen to CASCADA's powerful remix.

CASCADA - What Hurts The Most Music Video

What Hurts The Most
CASCADA

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though goin' on with you gone
Still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend
I'm okay
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seein that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder
Getting up, getting dressed, living with, this regret, but I know
If I could do it over
I would trade, give away, all the words, that I saved, in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seein that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin to do

I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone
Still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend
I'm okay
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seein that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin to do

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
Never knowing
What could have been
And not seein that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin to do

My favorite part of this video? When CASCADA is getting her tattoo (the classic heart with a banner reading Unbreakable) and when the wall is seperating her and the guy who broke her heart.
If you arn't fond of this dance club style of this song (and I have a feeling many people won't be), there's an alternative; CASCADA sung a "candlelight remix" of What Hurts The Most, similar to what she did for her song Every Time We Touch. To hear the CASCADA's What Hurts The Most: Yanou's Candlelight Mix, watch this video. This is not the music video for the remix, but gives you a chance to hear the song.

Leave a comment and let us know what you think of this new version of a very popular song!
