Top Videos of 2012: 25-1
We reach the final step into showing all the videos that I have watched and enjoyed from 2012.

This is a great Keane video and the best one from this list. This is a creepy and horror video that takes place at a haunted house in Barcelona where two lovers are getting the scared off of them. Beware of the outdated Cassette 70s clip of the TV shown. The Disconnection between Reality and Fiction is scared for life. The video has won an award for Best Video@ the Q Awards in London. Can the video rack up more awards in 2013? We will see.
24
A great video by Santigold that shows the typical problems and attitude about the social issues. Symbolism is sweet. We are the keepers while we sleep in America.
23
Another creative video by Lana. Here at the beginning of the video Lana re-acts Marilyn Monroe. The rest of the video has her depicts JFK’s family. She is the wife and A$AP Rocky is Kennedy himself. Overall killer video as many things go on include Lana reading a dialogue that sounds incredible in the reenactment. the assassination. This video spent at least 10 weeks on my countdown and peaked at the top 5.
22
A rather depressing video that many people had said about it but it’s still a great one anyway. Here The boy learned that his father pass away in battle in the War. Now him and his mother are in sorrow about the loss while SEAL teammates and their families comfort them. Eventually the boy becomes a SEAL like his father. A great mature video by these guys right here which they are in the video playing while glass shattered around them. It also features footage of the Metal of Honor: Warfighter game.
21
A video that helps prevents suicide from Youths. Here it shows two different young people about to commit their suicide and the story leading up to it. The young man at the beginning shots his head with a gun in the kitchen where his parents witness and read his suicide note. The story of him has him loading the bullets in his pistol and what cause this decision is the beatings by three bullies and a older man yelling at him. During this he gave his friend all of his stuff in a box which the friend hesitant to accepted. At the end the friend of the guy came back , returned the box and the guy rips up the note and puts away the gun and they join the young man’s parents at the kitchen table. The young woman shows she overdose in pills and her background is that the texts of her emotional breakdown and her reactions and what she does to herself. At the end she puts away a box and hugs her mother. A great message where all you need is a friend or someone at the end to help and comfort you. One of the videos that debut high on my countdown.
20
I know that they are two different versions of the video for this song , the latest is him in one of his live shows performing and going backstage while he plays the guitar sitting on the back of the truck. I decide to choose the original video even thought that was way back in 2010 but I have only discovered Ed in 2012 and I never heard of him in 2010 at all and since I was not into music or anything in 2011 but I don’t I would listen to him in that year either. The video here is about a crackhead ***** and her struggle of living and addicted to crack. This video is surreal with there are people out over the world who are crack heads & the video did a good job showing this particular crackhead. It also shows what the song is about and bringing it to live. Well done. A+.
19
This video does fit with the songs and because of that the music is the perfect mood for this style of art direction & motions surrounding it. The video shows the male band members as sky-sailors as they roam across a distant land with a mystical woman. Throughout the journey they encounter ghoulish creatures found in kids of the old age’s nightmares. They even fell into underwater after the crack of the frozen snow broke. At the end the mystical woman reunited with a mystical beast. Seeing the crow saying HEY! Is good to see in this haunting video with an Edgar Allan Poe Sketch draw line I believe or something of that sort.
18
This is a controversial video because of the racism and racial images especially the voodoo man having a blackface & thinking that Florence is part of the oh so infamous illuminati. Well I can to that in a moment. The video shows Florence lying next to the Crystal Skull and we see the contortionist ,someone who has practice unusual freak of nature flexibility, aka the voodoo man doing his ritual dance and we see Florence in the NY Skyline. He then grabs the voodoo and put the needle through it and Florence falls from the building and to the Trinity Boys Choir which they sing the song and caught her. Also in parts of the video the voodoo man chases Florence. A great video using some good effect and art direction. The song itself is good , which is lyrically about her frustration towards a falling relationship and being in that state of mind, and has a good build-up to the video with its melodrama drumming. This video here shows the light vs darkness struggle and see the contrast of it. The good vs. evil where the Choir is seeing the light of God while the Blackface voodoo man is practicing dark magic. It’s an occult being displayed from him and the Christian Religion . It’s exploring Christianity and voodoo spiritual. I can see the controversial subject about it giving ideas of conservative and racist ideas involving races and religion with Christians and Catholics. I can say that it can be taken the wrong way to think they are demonize religion and blacks but it’s not but don’t blame for thinking that it’s a blatant white vs. black thing here. I mixed about the Blackface good for the display of dark art but bad for African-Americans and others who feel offended especially those that face blackface in TV etc. doing bad times in the past.
17
A great moral video to show Lupe’s stance on misogyny in hip hop culture & in mainstream music with the word Bitch and the Psychological concept around it. In Act 1 or in verse 1, the boy is in the car with her mother singing a Bad Bitch song and the boy sees it and gets the wrong idea of thinking that is all mothers
are. Act 2 shows three girls looking at the internet singing along to a mainstream song by a Bad Bitch singer who one of the girl idolizes and dancing to her music and acting like her while we see how generically most mainstream rap videos go with the rapper waving off his car, cash and his hoe. The joke rapper and hoe is a form of Lil’ Wayne and Nicki Minaj which the same girl sees at a Theater. Act III here shows the boy and the girl meeting as older people. All in the while a grown male and female at a separate dressing room seeing flashbacks of the images seen in the video and they wipe the black paint off of their face. MDMA appears at the end to sing his lines. The video is dedicated to Paul Robeson and the many black actors who had to deal with Blackface in America. I’m guessing that Lupe put that there to show that Blackfaces are offensive to African-Americans and sexism is demeaning to Women especially how the Media portrays it and the imagery of it. Just realized that I place this next to Florence + The Machine’s video. I’m so evil. Did I do that on purpose or I was just ranking and not relating between videos. sadly only spent one week on my countdown due to other videos batting to get in while this video gets on deck treatment where there is a week when I like this a lot.
16
Filmed in the Czech Republic, we see how protesters start a vicious riot while the heavy-armed police deal with them with violence combat and riot control. The protesters merciless fight against the police in any means in this harsh war condom of violence where police answer back with violence and use of mace etc. . A great savage and one hell of a war video between them that display the relationship of them while showing Self-Indulgence which is the theme of the song along with Religion. There is No Church In The Wild in these conditions that is. No clear winner when a conflict turns to violence even if one of the sides won a single battle, the war rages on. Spent at least two weeks on my countdown I believe.
15
Ahh now it’s Blood Mary, man did I really rank these video like this on purpose or something? Here in the neck of the woods & mountain side with a space sky , the bands plays in the middle of nowhere in wasteland desert and later on creepy blue color TVs and on a large vent it seems to me , we see scenes of a woman, the city street roads & lights, kids all wearing white coats outside standing in a platform looking to the fading blue sky and taking pictures of a wall next to them while we see occult magic suck to a box where a woman is holding where she wearing white gowns run to places. The Woman is placed in a circle and a Bloody Mary occurs. Great video that had a nerve ending.
14
Continuing from Midnight City, here the supernatural Children are being pursued by a group of Men trying to bring the, to the lab where there was a girl there in a enteric chair with wires in her head forced to controlling them and one of the children in the rooftop lost her power and guess died. They left and as the van chase them, they face off and the children use their powers to lift the van away and the strapped girl is free from the mind controlling and takes off all the wires and leaves. At the end they go a Church where they send off their powers to the light and the light is from space and top of the Earth. Observatory. This is the trouble you get for having a Reunion no one deals like this. Just another mind-f**king video that you have to watch now.
13
A good concept video by these guys who released a concept album in 2012 that is a part of a double album which that will be released in Feb. The band plays while two fighters get into battle in the ring. We see a bunch of anger between the two in and outside of the ring. Also we get in deep of one of the fighters’ life that later the other fighter cause trouble for him. All throughout the video we see some disasters going on and especially at the end of the video.
12
This is a great and interesting to take to your own perspective . Here we see the band wandering through a post-apocalyptic dark-blue sky transparent color dessert wasteland until they find a box where they open and light is inside and they use that light of ball to bury into a hole dug up using their bare hands. Then they run and boom! It exploded to the sky where the dark cloud goes away to shred new light and the band is caught in the impact. My perspective on this is to find new hope after a disaster and it’s time to take action where we can begin anew.
11
A funny and well-edited video where we see some bizarre dancing from Hooded people in a Church Library. We also see some space travel with a UFO, familiar faces making cameos, and just some mind-boggling stuff going all. They can do this all Night & Day.
10
A 10 Minute Short-Film video where it takes for a ride that you will never forget. Lana narrates at the beginning where she expresses her feelings. Here Lana is performing at a town’s Showtime theater, while the video shows here with different men doing some sexual, sensual and non-sexual stuff. Also shows her riding a motorcycle and at one scene wrapped herself with the American Flag. The motorcycle gang and Lana start a battle. Also Lana wears an Native-American war bonnet where she sings that she has war in her mind when she sees a revolver in her temple. Video has a great run on my countdown so far and made the top 10 so far and still riding up in The Zone . She is fu*king crazy and free.
9
A meaningful and deep video where it mainly showcase the lead singer of the band Justin Furstenfeld, his life and his divorce turmoil including a mess of a custody battle of their little girl where she is seen in the video in clips. A surreal video that I can tell what he is feeling. Their latest album is about his journey out of the marriage using lyrical honesty and other elements to create a heartbreaking tale. Here in the video he makes a worry list and the lyrics to the songs say “take me off of your worry list, it will be better that way”. Sad to see dads that actually care about their kids that are not half of the time absent not able to get to see them cause how custody battles goes and sometimes can get dirty. Does daddy fixes everything? One of the rare videos to be #1 in my countdown in 2012.
8
In this slow moving video we see a woman stares to a man in bed wrapped in bandages where she gets a little closer and cuts the sternum. She looks outside to see an object flying and turns around to see the man dissolved somewhere. The woman is now in the waterfall where she walking towards to a silver figure where she sees images including one with the man form before and she looks up to see the flying object again and at the end she wakes up in bandages and the man still sleeping in the room with no bandages and unharmed. Good video where the music fit the motions.
7
Here in this Drive By adventure we see Pat on the phone with his ex-girlfriend and when she hangs up, Pat gets his blue 1967 Pontiac Firebird, and starts driving through San Francisco which he meets with the rest of the band in the intersection where Jimmy driving a yellow Chevrolet Camar and Scott driving a red Ford Mustang. Pat explains about his ex and the times they had. The band arrives in a Classic Car meeting where Pat leads them to the winery where he first met his girlfriend and parks in front of the place and Pat went up to her saying the last verse of the song and got back together. So this is not a drive by then. Well between him and the girl that is
6
The band plays inside of a electronic pod where they perform like they do in tour. A great video that showcase some great visual effect that blend with the emotion and energy of the song. The video ends with the band caught in flames with the eruption. Some good pyrotechnics as well.
5
Here In the video we see swords, pythons, a garden of some sort in a desert.
A good visual video where we see some circus freakshow while sailing down the land and where we cross past with a freaky android with bright-pink braids and some body wear that has some shades of Gaga & Nicki. We see the girl everywhere from the dark road in the middle of it and posing with a group of old time settler. Apparently Grimes and the model are contortionists.
4
A mind-blowing video where in Morocco we see crazy stuff from the Bad Girl and this is as dangerous and insane they can get and M.I.A knows how to start a riot and be controversial to boot. The setting of the video and the epicness of the whole video unfold is just cray. The song is just crazy enough with the beats and the sound.
3
A great video that has a great meaning. This is about Carrie’s abusive father in the video where he is an alcoholic addict and we see some painful memories of him. A storm is brewing and Carrie hides in the basement to not get blown away. At the end new life is restored as we follow the yellow brick road. That’s a nice house. Reminds me of a simpler time. The music and the tone of the voice sets the video well. Carrie is apparently playing as a teenager in this video.
2
We sees some Constant Conversations taking place and check out what happens.
1
Come on. It’s only the right mind where this video gets to be the top video of 2012. The artistic of this, abstract, and the connection & emotions displayed between Gotye & Kimbra both of them play so well that says in the song and what’s the song is truly about. Yeah they do look good covered in origami paper where they are naked. Everyone wins.
One half of the Main Event is finally completed. Come back again to see the final update The TOP songs of 2012 in the End of. What did you think about the videos of 2012 & the #1?
TOP Songs of 2012: 50-1
This is the end of the end in the End of party. We finally reach in time what all the people want to see is my top 50 songs of 2012 especially to found out what song is my #1. Can you guess what it is? Can you even guess what is in my top 20? Well time to show you the Main Event in this End of.
50 Brendan's Death Song Red Hot Chili Peppers Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone, And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along. Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone, And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong.
Imagine this as your funeral song. Well both versions are great, the short & album version to be clear. Just like this song because of the drummer’s drums that play this song to this death song. Also the instruments are great and listen to the vocals where I follow the song’s words like it’s the final calling and swan song to boot. Overall just a great song to just take over and describe our death song to a catchy melody. Do I tell myself this most of the time in my mind? Well are you gone, Brendan? This song spend 5 weeks on my countdown.
49 Come Home Chappo In the morning , I'm waiting for you , To come back home
Just a good song that I like a lot enough of me to put it in the top 50. Songs gets better the more time I listen to it until it’s really time to come home.
48 This Head I Hold Electric Guest Sit back, don't think, The more I listen, the deeper I sink and Ooh, I go higher And I say, ooh, a-ooh, I go higher, This head that I hold, no, it's so tired
I say ooh this song has my head on hold. Really it’s a catchy song that has a different spin on the sound of psychedelic music. Good instrumental sounds that also infect us in. Heard that producer Danger Mouse worked with the on their album ,which I might hear someday., and good exchange of music advice led to this collaboration.
47 Cough Syrup Young The Giant Life's too short to even care at all oh, I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control, These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh, Oh oh oh oh, A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, Oh
Yeah a great and addicting song that sounds so good that shows that life IS too short to care a damn at all especially if you got a bad cough and Cough Syrup is your friend unless you like the candy kind as long as you don‘t abuse it so you can soothe your pain of depression . Well I can see that I needed Cough Syrup backing 2011 to do the same. Like I said life Is too short to get high on Cough Syrup. Also Glee covered this song too but who cares about that just want to bring this fact in the open and other people have covered on singing competition shows as well.
46 Wanted Hunter Hayes 'Cause I wanna wrap you up, Wanna kiss your lips, I wanna make you feel wanted, And I wanna call you mine,Wanna hold your hand forever, Never let you forget it, Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
A good and caring song that makes you feel wanted in the right way possible and I really the built-up when it gets serious until it goes down soft. Doesn’t matter what this kid looks like or what similar presence he brings but I enjoy the song overall. One of the songs that made a high debut on my countdown and sadly that the only week it spend on there.
45 Set Fire to the Rain Adele But there's a side to you/That I never knew, never knew. All the things you'd say They were never true, never true, And the games you play You would always win, always win.
It’s possible to set fire to the rain or not since the video to this song is her wonderful performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Well this song is just that great cause you really feel that in your heart and to your ears. It’s Adele and her magnificent singing that brings emotions and powerful vocal into heaven. Well maybe Adele does Set Fire to the Rain. This song has been all over TV Promos & radio.
44 Gone Sovereign Stone Sour So scatter all my ashes when I'm dead, And shatter every legend in my head, If only the committed will survive, Is anybody here still left alive?
A real heavy rock song that brings the intense and awesome drums pounding with a classic guitar solo and yeah Corey deliver on vocals for Stone Sour like he did for Slipknot. Have you gone Sovereign mad in control?
43 Nobody’s Perfect J. Cole ft. Missy Elliott They killin ****** for J's, that's death over designer, Hey Cole heatin' up like that left-over lasagna, Remember when I used to be stressed over D'wana, Now a ***** only text and get stressed over Rihannas
Yeah Nobody’s Perfect especially in relationships, so why not they do a song when they like to talk about the ladies’ flaws and exploit them and also Cole talks about his girl and wants her to come home for the weekend since he as himself put it is too old to sneak into the dorm rooms where she probably f**king around with a couple of guys which is fine by me since he is his girl and he fools around her still. I agree. Missy sounds good on the hook.
42 Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye Luke Bryan I guess everybody’s got their way of moving on, Girl rest your head one more time in my bed, Love me like you loved me when you loved me, And you didn’t have to try, Let’s lay down tonight And kiss tomorrow goodbye
Just a great song that when a relationship ends we like to say goodbye in bed. You can kiss tomorrow goodbye until it gets here. Good overall feeling and enjoyment to this wonderful sound and vocals with ease.
41 New God Flow Pusha T & Kanye West Step on they necks 'til they can’t breathe/Claim they five stars but sell you dreams/They say death multiplies by threes/Line them all up and let's just see/**** em 'Ye, **** em 'Ye!/I wouldn't piss on that ***** with Grand Marnier
Here Kanye & Pusha deliver a hell of a song with God-like flow which makes the song a great song to listen to all the way and doesn’t matter what they are talking or dissing or stating something, it’s all about having a good time with G.O.D. The album version has Ghostface Killah rapping up a flow which is great to hear. He had his Jesus Piece since ‘94.
40 Goodbye Slaughterhouse Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell/But it's not the end of the chapter/Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell/I'll see you again in the afterlife
A great emotional and deep song where each of the members Joe talks about his twins that die during Birth cause of the Birth Control Pills that his wife was on and he wanted twins which hit him hard when he won’t get to take care of him, Crooked I talks about his absence father and his uncle acting in as a real father figure and tragic to hear the news that his uncle die after a long 12 rounds battle with Chemo & Joell talks about the loss of his Grandmother. Each of these hits hard on the heart. Sadly Royce doesn’t appear , I guess he doesn’t have any emotional personal goodbyes on this own.
39 Wide Awake Katy Perry I'm wide awake, Yeah, I am born again, Out of the lion's den, I don't have to pretend, And it's too late, The story's over now, the end
Yeah we end the Teenage Dream Era with this last song of hers in this End of. And countdown with her final single from that era. Well this is just a catchy and great pop song to just listen to and makes pop music better to sleep on and be wide awake after. Just listening to Katy is nice to hear and follow . I did like the image of her in the video you know with the purple hair and a nice story to it.
38 Tonight (Best You Ever Had) John Legend ft. Ludacris I hit you with the best stroke,, Freestyle and the breaststroke, Til you blow a cigarette smoke, And now the bed's broke, So what we gon' do now, **** it, round two now,Work it out, then we cool down Cool down
Just a great song to serenade to your love one at night. Also it’s has a good mood setting and the mentally to gave the lady that best she ever had tonight in anyway fit. John did good on the vocals and how he sang it makes it feel right all night long. Luda did a good job on his rap part of the song and make the mood of the song just as right as it is already. This is one of the only things we did right in 2012 music wise. This song was on the Think like a Man Movie. Spend at least six weeks on the countdown and peaked at 11.
37 Runaways The Killers Let's take a chance baby we can't lose/Ain’t we all just runaways?/I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway/I knew it when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go
A good song and a decent Killers single overall. Yeah we all just runaways to be free and do what ever it bring us to. Yeah we can let love get way now can’t we.? Song peaked at the top 5 and spend at least 10 weeks on my countdown.
36 Titanium David Guetta ft. Sia Stone-hard, machine gun, Fired at the ones who run, Stone-hard as bulletproof glass
David and Sia make a good team with Sia’s amazing vocals that enters your ears and get sucked in of this Titanium mix of David’s music. A good catchy dance and pop song to listen.
35 Blow Me (One Last Kiss) P!nk I won't miss All of the fighting That we always did Take it in I mean what I say When I say there is nothing left, No more sick, whiskey dick, No more battles from me You'll be callin' a trick ‘Cause you no longer sleep The lead single from her 2012 album is the up-beat more modern pop song done her way of style. Here in this song is to end the relationship after all the fighting they have done to each other and P!nk here will not be missing any of that at all. She will on her way out will blow you one last kiss for good measure and move on and the dude will I guess hang out alone. I like to listen to the pop production of this song which sound good to me and it’s a good enough pop song overall. Spend 6 weeks at my countdown.
34 Dive Usher It's raining inside your bed/No parts are dry/Loving makes you so wet, your legs, your thighs/And ever since we first met I knew that/I, I knew I was ready baby to take that dive
A real good slow R&B that can seduce you or to keep in touch with yourself and the one you are with. I’m really deep into the R&B sound of this and how Usher sings in a divining way to know you are sure that you are making the right move to take that chance and dive with the one. A great song overall. Spend 14 weeks on my countdown.
33 Adorn Miguel I... oh oh, Let my love adorn you baby, Don't you ever, Don't you let nobody tell you different baby,I'll always adore you, You gotta know know, You got to know know know Now yeah
Man what a song this is. A great song that makes you want to adorn. Really like how Miguel sings this with the sweet R&B blend with it to create such an admiration to feel and make things well with the one you want to adorn. The seducing pleasure and the oh oh echo with the mid-tempo R&B sound is a highlight to a friendly reminder. This was the biggest smash for R&B of 2012 and has the success to back it up. It has already finally having success in Rhythmic and I’m waiting to see if it will find success for Pop.
32 Cold Kanye West ft. DJ Khaled We flyer than a parakeet, floatin' with no parachute/Six thousand dollar pair of shoes, we made it to the Paris news! Don't talk about style cause I embarrass you/Shut the **** up when you talk to me 'fore I embarrass you
Produced by Hit-Boy, Whenever is called Theraflu, Way Too Cold or just Cold, this is the song where you just let everything out and will get your reward for not only saying what’s on your mind but doing it in a cold flow. Kanye just brings it all to show he can just drag you guys out with his harsh and arrogant attitude like he drags his mink on the floor & tell off all the people that critics him and after just move on from it. This song is also famous for Kanye announcing his love to Kim Kardashian where he also admits that he was in love with her around the same time Kim was with Kris Humphries. Also apparently giving Wiz respect since he was the only out of many guys that f**K around with Amber Rose to not only make it public but to marry her. Alright it seems. Well Kanye is doing well to get more publicity since he recently just announced that Kim is pregnant! Way too Cold and get the Theraflu before the mad cold sucks in. Too late, Kanye did a Good ASS job to get himself a Bad Bitch. Also he talks about his heart for Fashion. I like the beats and overall feel of the music to connect the cold flow of Kanye and yeah can’t forget about the cough effect when you need the Theraflu. Had a decent run in the Radio Chart.
31 Eyes Wide Open Gotye So this is the end of the story, Everything we had, everything we did Is buried in dust And this dust is all that's left of us And only a few ever worried
A short and sweet song that I really like and have been on repeat on my ipod and also other various radios stations that play It. I like the blending of Gotye vocals to this astounding good sound that makes the song perfect for itself. The song sends me somewhere to just awe the sounds of this song. Keep your ears or eyes wide open for this.
30 Blown Away Carrie Underwood Shatter every window 'til it’s all blown away,/Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away'Til there’s nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday/Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away, Blown away
A really great Country -pop song. This song has a great meaning behind it as well as it has a good storytelling in it. Here in this song it’s all about washing all the bad, abusive & wrongful disasters that happen to that person and sometimes not even a tornado in Oklahoma can’t blow out all the sins. Also your emotions can be better explain as you are a storm brewing or the bad signs are in a hurricane or some sort. And you can start a new life or home if you didn’t like your previous life. I can get really deep in this song also with the music that I feel the most. I have no idea why this never went to Pop Radio , it might or might not of smash. I think it mostly likely would have. I’m that positive. Let the storm in your mind blown away all of the distractions to move on and focus anew. This song spent 21 weeks on my countdown and is a former #1. That’s very impressive.
29 Thinking About You Frank Ocean A tornado flew around my room before you came, Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn't rain In Southern California, much like Arizona. My eyes don't shed tears, but, boy, they bawl
Even thought Adorn have more success than this song here in all aspects but personally I enjoy this song the most out of the two. This song has a great sound that I can deep to and just let the music do the talking and let it loose while Frank sings it like he can in a Falsetto fashion and just listen along to the words and the way he sings it. Overall a great R&B song that I have been thinking about. Just think about that one that you like to describe and why you are thinking about that one.
28 Springsteen Eric Church I bumped in to you by happenstance. You probably wouldn't even know who I am. But if I whispered your name, I bet there'd still be a spark. Back when I was gasoline and this old tattoo had brand new ink. And we didn't care what your momma think 'bout your name on my arm
Eric was right about a song’s melody sound like a memory. Here when I hear that I either think about the memories of all the songs that I think about on where is my memories on them or when I think my own personal memories. I do like the whoa -oh-oh-oh parts and think he can add a third verse as well. Here in the song Eric thinks about his memories back in his day that includes references to the Boss himself like When you hear Born In The USA, and Somewhere between that setting sun, I'm On Fire and Born To Run. Overall a great country to relive your own memories.
27 She’s So Mean Matchbox Twenty She'll make you take her to the club, but then she leaves with her friends. She likes to stay late at the party, 'cause the fun never ends. And all her clothes are on the floor and all your records are scratched. She's like a one-way ticket 'cause you can't come back!
A great comeback single by M20. I really like the modern adult pop route of this song plus it’s catchy and the chorus and the build-up towards it is so mean just like the girl they are describing. I can get into the sweetness of this sound and song. Yeah they are girls that are just so mean like they thrive on it and there are girl that are just being haters. I prefer the former. Did a good job on my countdown lasting 12 weeks I believe. Also the first song to return to my countdown ever when it drop out for a week after its debut to bring temporary songs in..
26 The Veldt deadmau5 ft. Chris James Here, the world that the children made.. The world that the children made.. Here, the world that the children made. Here, the world that the children made.
Just a good song that has the sound and vocals to be sent to your own place. One of my addicting songs to be place so high more than it needs to.
25 Lost In Forever P.O.D. Am I just floating around in this moment of time and space? It makes me wonder. A state of mind cause I'm just fading away. And my head is lost up in the satellites
Man this is a song where you can get lost in forever like most of their songs do. It makes you think or bringing flashbacks to anything you can picture. A great lead single overall. Like The City, Sweeter, & 45 It Spent five weeks on my countdown. And also it peaked at 3.
24 Swimming Pools (Drank) Kendrick Lamar Ni**a why you babysitting only two or three shots/I'mma show you how to turn it up a notch/First you get a swimming pool full of liquor then you dive in it/Pool full of liquor then you dive in it
This song is about alcoholism. Here Lamar gets sucked in into drinking tons of alcohol that could fill up a swimming pool by his peers. As it goes along Kendrick’s conscience tries to reason with him and warned him and if he ignores it he is setting himself up to get reeled in by the effects of alcohol and get lost to. Also is interesting to note that the bridge & the beat of it ironically sounds like a drinking anthem. Lamar used to smoke and get drunk but he doesn’t anymore that I know for that is. Really people these days just want to get f**ked up and hammered on drinking instead in a moderately use. You can either makes this your drinking anthem or a deep song about alcoholism and the dangers of it and for the drinkers that choose this one I assuming you will be the one to drink smart and do it moderately. Do I drink? No , I don’t but I did drink a bottle of beer before. Not bad but you have to get used to that taste to like it more ,so ehh. See Lamar knows what he is doing to appeal two different audiences. Even though, if you don’t like his rapping, singing or what he sounds like, it’s still a great song with a great message. A former #1 that spent over 15 weeks on my countdown.
23 I Won’t Give Up Jason Mraz And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend. For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn. We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in. I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am
First listen the song sounds like anti-climatic or something similar but as time goes on and the more I listen to it, it’s a complete different experience that you will get used to and get deep into. You can connect to the way it sounds and how Jason sings and how you see it as the song plays. it’s a great acoustic folk ballad that inspires to not give up on anything and not give up easily. This helps you out but taking easy steps and being conformable until you can your own will towards it. A straight-forward message that has a great power-chorus building towards the end and good soft rock sediments. When you listen to the lyrics to the song , this is about not giving up on a relationship with a lover.. I really like how the tone of songs follows though with the way of the vocals goes to. Mraz wants I Won’t Give Up to make a difference to people’s lives. And I know it has.
22 Paradise Coldplay When she was just a girl ,She expected the world ,But it flew away from her reach so ,She ran away in her sleep ,And dreamed of Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise ,Every time she closed her eyes
Another good and mesmerize song by Coldplay. Here they release such a aura of a song that makes you feel like you’re in paradise. I heard this song all the time on radio throughout the year. I can’t get enough to it and must place it here near the top 20. It begun in 2011 and finished in 2012.
21 Tempest Deftones Turning in circles. Been caught in a stasis. The ancient arrival. Cut to the end. I’d like you to take me. Apart from the inside. Then spit through the cycle right to the end
Damn. What a great song this is. Everything about is just wondrous and amazing to let it enter your ears and your mind just explode out of Epic Proportions. When it starts the isolation of space kicks in before Chino goes in softly before the music kicks in and the vocals continue until the echo comes in and the mind-f**king chorus goes to the mind and let it speak and understand to enjoy. And this song makes such a grand trip to the atmosphere where you are caught in a motionless state and let the music get to you to settle the Tempest inside you . The aggression and melodic elements are there and we can shout and whisperer in all we want. I’ve been listening to this song the most during the whole End of party and I‘m actually listen to this song right now. This earn a spot in the top 50 and close to the top 20 due to listening and enjoy it so much despite only come out late in the year & outpeaked its Hard Rock ranking and been doing well on my Radio Chart for sure. Overall an astounding piece of work.
20 We'll Be Coming Back Calvin Harris ft. Example I don’t even care if I know ya out of our mind, sad to leavin all behind, we’ll be coming back back back, we’ll be coming back for you one day
I named this song the collaboration of 2012. Both men did a good job into creating such as greats song that has me coming back for more then one day. Calvin did a wonderful job on the production, mixing and every else to unleashed such a sound where Example provides the vocals that is incredible. Overall a great dance song that you can into. It has spent 16 weeks on my countdown and got a chance to be #1 too.
19 Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself) Ne-Yo I can see the pain behind your eyes, It's been there for quite a while. I just wanna be the one to remind you what it is to smile. I would like to show you what true love can really do
A good song where Ne-Yo made to please each side of people how they like to listen to their music. It’s a song where the party people can jam too while others can just relax and enjoy the music and meaning of the song. It’s a good pop song. Here it’s about a girl where she doesn’t respect herself that much and the guy is here to show her what to love and let him love you until she learns to love herself. Did a decent run on my countdown which spent 8 weeks but had to drop and return to do it.
18 I Will Wait Mumford & Sons And I'll kneel down,. Wait for now I'll kneel down, Know my ground
I will wait. Okay I waited enough here is a great song that of course the main sound to hear is the classic Mumford & Son formula which includes the holy banjo which I can still get deep into. The build-up and vocals are also my favorite of this song from the band. I practice my patience with this song. I won’t tell how it is going with me on that. Well no see. Spent at least 14 weeks on my countdown.
17 Take A Walk Passion Pit But off the boat they sail a while. Then scatter cross the coast. Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most I took a walk I use this song and so do others that heard this song to take a walk. Most will go straight to Taco Bell and order Doritos Tacos. Man still disappointed that they discontinued the Nacho Burritos. You people have no idea what have you done. Well I took a walk to escape my troubles but sometimes I end up more than what I have bargain. Here the lead singer said he wrote about his parents financial problems and to get away from it they decide to take a walk. In the lyrics he talks about certain family members and the content of it is of course a business man clustered by financial problems. The song is overall great to listen to and the sounds of it is wonderful. Too bad it couldn’t spent more time on my countdown as it was pre-matured drop out due to competition and never returned. More people are finally getting hooked to it and it will continue its run in 2013.
16 Trojans Atlas Genius It's ok if it's gone. The thoughts that you had that it was the one. And oh what is left? For all those times is that what you get?
Yeah I got your Trojans in my head. Well the song’s that is. A good catchy song that I really like to hear more often and brings bliss. More people are on the Trojans bandwagon as we speak so the song will be around in 2013 to let their sound enter your mind.
15 One More Night Maroon 5 So I cross my heart, and I hope to die, that i'll only stay with you one more night. And I know i've said it a million times. But i'll only stay with you one more night
A great song that is the better of their singles so far off of a failed attempt to create a over the top pop album but it’s doesn’t’ seem to matter since their singles are topping the charts as this song remain on top of the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks I believe that t hear it was due to radio play and soon later the rules change on how to calculate songs charting esp. to genre charts. Also prevent Gangnam Style from claiming the top spot. Don’t know if it was a good thing or not but whatever. It’s a catchy song that I like to follow along to and question if staying one more night is even worth it depend what is your situation, How long can you stay or need to stay. Had an on/off run on my countdown peaking just outside of the top 5 in its 9 weeks run.
14 Wild Ones Flo Rida ft. Sia Hey I heard you were a wild one. Oooh If I took you home, It'd be a home run. Show me how you'll do
I want to shut down the club With you. Hey I heard you like the wild ones. Oooh
A great party song to jam and just relax in a car ride to. Man get your wild ambition out and let it loose if you want to score. Yeah Wild ones run this sh!t. I really love Sia’s vocals where its so damn catchy which sets a great flow to Flo Rida’s rapping which I also enjoy following along. Why it’s the addiction spell.
13 Lights Ellie Goulding You show the lights that stop me turn to stone. You shine It when I'm alone. And so I tell myself that I'll be strong. And dreaming when they're gone
Amazing to see this do this well everywhere esp. In the Us when it was first released back in January. This is a major sleeper hit which seems to come quite common or close to that in the past years like Just Dance and Pumped Up Kicks were. Early it was heard it was back in 2010 which for some reason didn’t heard it back in that time but listen tot her other songs tho. It’s a different pop song than most were used to during 2012 which was great since we need a kind of song like that to bring depth and beat out all the sucktude in pop and music overall. Really love Ellie’s vocals and the pop sounds that blends all-around here. Such sweet pleasure to hear. Lights are also use to be calling home. A former #1 and spent 12 weeks in the Zone.
12 Some Nights fun. But I still wake up, I still see your ghost. Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh. What do I stand for? What do I stand for? Most nights I don't know anymore..
A great song that the more I listen and get deep into the more I used the sound of it and love it more so than We Are Young. This is a great night song that most people make their stand for to have some nights like victory for them. To have a war that many won’t like to end in a draw. Well the whole song is just great and the vocals along with the sound of the song make it a some night. It spent over 22 weeks on my countdown and spend four non-consecutive weeks at 1.
11 Anna Sun Walk The Moon What do you know? this house is falling apart. What can I say? this house is falling apart. We got no money, but we got heart. We're gonna rattle this ghost town. This house is falling apart.
One of the big alternative songs to caught people’s interest but sadly didn’t have major success in pop radio or around the world. Regardless it’s a great song that have a dreamy, cheery and happy vibe to just be carefree and enjoy yourself. O Anna sun. The lead singer named this song after one of his professors. Interesting. Well overall a catchy song that has the Alt. pop drive to get it going. It did better and treated better on my request countdown than it did in The Zone. 7-9wks>5wks that it took some time to return back to the Zone after its debut.
10 Little Talks Of Monsters And Men You're gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear. All that's left is a ghost of you. Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, there's nothing we can do, Just let me go, we'll meet again soon.
So much to say about the success of this song is having so far and extending its run in 2013 is just amazing to witness and the song has so much to be deserved to be the major hit it is. The song has the little talks between the male and female singers in which they take turn to sing to talk it out and that makes such a chilling harmony. Shouting out HEY! Is a bonus. The overall dark tone and mature content is complex. For some reason this song never made my countdown I guess I never picked out a week where I can debut or such. But have no fear it did spent 9 weeks on my request countdown.
9 Drive By Train Oh I swear to you. I'll be there for you. This is not a drive by. Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply. Hefty bag to hold my love. When you move me everything is groovy. They don't like it sue me. Either way you do me
A really cheesy song that has fun making the music to sound it goofy. You can take this and have this attitude and run with it until you take it too far and I learned that the hard way . Well I should of made it a drive by. Honk! Boom! Crash that! The Train Pop songs wins again.
8 Somebody That I Used To Know Gotye ft. Kimbra But you didn't have to cut me off, Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing, And I don't even need your love, But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough, No you didn't have to stoop so low, Have your friends collect your records and then change your number, I guess that I don't need that though, Now you're just somebody that I used to know.
I glad that this song had major success in fact it was so successful that it’s one of the top downloaded digital singles of all time selling over 13M+ worldwide I believe. It leads the way of topping the charts for alternative music everywhere along with We Are Young, this song made it happen. Overall the song is great and the instruments and the sound of it is just marvelous to hear along with vocals from Gotye & Kimbra. Both gave such powerful emotions to make this song more epic than it is and tells a complex song where all goes wrong and the end that one person is just Somebody That You Used To Know. Well I don’t have many of those since we never got started and anyone that I have met are just some people that I don’t want to know again and been doing that since July. Peaked at 4 on my countdown.
7 Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings) Silversun Pickups If we can stay here long enough. We can play with Bloody Mary. Say her name into the dark. Activate our nerve endings
A great lead single where we get to play with Bloody Mary and active our nerve endings. No not the game where you cry because you got hit. The moody flow with the chilling sound of the instruments blends with the vocals quite well where it creates a haunting following. Only spent two weeks at 1 and overall stayed with the Zone for over 15 weeks.
6 The A Team Ed Sheeran And they say She's in the Class A Team. Stuck in her daydream. Been this way since 18. But lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting. Crumbling like pastries. And they scream.
Clever song-writing by Mr. Ed Sheeran in this song where it’s about drug overdose and taking the A grade drugs. A great song overall that it’s catchy to follow the lyrics and the rhythm of the song where we can get deep into the song and the acoustics make this song a masterpiece. It lasted 14 weeks and peaked at 4 in the Zone and had a good run in The Nation.
5 Ho Hey The Lumineers (Ho!) I've been trying to do it right (Hey!) I've been living a lonely life (Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead (Hey!) I've been sleeping in my bed, (Ho!) sleeping in my bed (Hey!).
Ho! Hey! Man another gem that unexpected broke out to be successful everywhere in Pop, HAC, & Alt.Rock when it was starting out in AAA. A short but sweet song that has incredible vocals and some good strings of the guitar that do it right. Addicted to this song where I enjoy the wonderful sound of this song. It had a funky run in the Zone where it was one of the songs that drop and return that ended up in the top 10 and spent I think 10 weeks and also did a good run in the Nation.
4 Midnight City M83 Waiting in a car..Waiting for a ride in the dark. The night city grows. Look and see her eyes, they glow.
I can’t stop listening to this song whenever it’s on radio or on You-tube, it just an infectious song that has been doing so since 2011. It continues in 2012 where I got back to the music game and man this song was played to the max. It’s not just about the vocals but the 80s sythms sounds, dreamy pop, new wave and shoe grazing elements make the song what it is and feels good to take a trip to Midnight City. Just appreciate the sounds on what electronica music does to you with the help of the saxophone at the end.
3 Too Close Alex Clare And it feels like I am just too close to love you. There's nothing I can really say. I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more. Got to be true to myself. And it feels like I am just too close to love you. So I'll be on my way.
Known as the song used for Internet Explorer 9, this song was a commercial success literally. I was already addicted to this but it unexpected later on to be a big hit that I ending up liked it more than ever and play it non-stop. Evidence that I did not know it was meant to be last longer it only spent 6 weeks on my countdown but hey lucky it had the request countdown to fall back which it become #1 there & others as well while it only peaked outside of the top 5 in my countdown. It was written to tell that best friends are just too close to love each other and start a relationship so they be on their way. Yeah I know that when I was younger but it was expected we were too young.
2 Burn It Down Linkin Park You told me yes. You held me high .And I believed when you told that lie. I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down, when I kissed that ring. You lost that right, to hold that crown. I built you up, but you let me down. So when you fall, I'll take my turn. And fan the flames. As your blazes burn
Man I bet everything that almost everyone [predicted that this would’ve been my #1 song but it’s not.
First of the song is just a great beast of a song where it’s all-around great and is on par with their previous hits. Mike’s rapping stays true and just madness to hear lay it down like that where I can understand and Chester’s vocals are killer and the rest of the band made the sounds of this song so powerful to burn this End of to the ground where it should’ve been #1 but hey this song has the passion & drive to burn it down. Really we just build things up to only to burn it down at the end. Well I’m sure burnt up and can’t I even make to the #1? The song spend 5 weeks straight at #1 in The Zone and was the first #1 ever when I made my countdown back in June which stayed there for 23 weeks second longest run at the Zone. Also did a major run on my request countdown 6 weeks straight at #1 and spent more 10 weeks to boot. I bet its #1 in somebody’s End of.
If this song is not #1 then which song is….
1 It’s Time Imagine Dragons I don't ever wanna let you down. I don't ever wanna leave this town. 'Cause after all. This city never sleeps at night. It’s time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was. Now don't you understand. That I'm never changing who I am
The song where this band had its breakout moment in 2012. This song was everywhere and made its impact in TV & Sports promotions, commercials, packages , movie trailers such as the Perks of Being a Wallpaper and covered by Glee & on The Voice. They didn’t ruined the song and the latter made it in their own personal spin on it. Maybe been in more but I will stopped. Did well on itunes and the Billboard Charts where it went to the top 20. Also it’s the only countdown veteran to last over to 2013 where overall spent 32 weeks in the Zone and been #1 six different times. It’s lowest peak was at 12. It also took a long time to reach #1 in my request countdown and spent 20 weeks in the Nation. It was also loved in ATRL. The sounds of this song is interesting with the stomps ,clapping, instruments and the vocals and back up vocals made it a masterpiece. Seeing how it is done is also amazing to witness. The song was written to get over the lead singer’s depression and I can see that it help and I’m sure it would’ve help my depression back in 2011 as well. It was interesting to hear the lyrics like The City That Never Sleeps aka their hometown in Las Vegas and the song means a lot to me. I can take it from my perspective to see at the end you are you and only you know who you are and was has changed from you and what hasn’t and what parts of you will never changed and keep it with you as you will grow . I will always be the free-minded loner that deals with its own problems and cares for my family and never worry about anything else. Also to start from the bottom to work your way back on top of your mind.
It’s Time to begin.
Well that is it for this update and this End of. Thanks to those who comments. Has a blast reading what you have to say and enjoying responding back what you said as well as commenting on your End ofs. I liked this End of even thought I have some delays and because of that I have to cut out a few lists out and we all suffer the wrath of the poor Sever. Still working on this was great and it had me burnt out but I kept on going for the most part. I’m proud that I display not only a good format but also get to comment more than once. I call it a good experience . Next time I would not only be more prepared but have it done in time and not a mess. Thanks for everything and let’s see if 2013 can bring something worthwhile. The End.
That's a really flaw-free top 10 and I'm glad that my top 2 songs both made it.
I completely agree with most of your blurbs and I'm very surprised to see It's Time was your #1, I really thought Burn It Down would get it.
As usual I appreciate your variety in genres and I completely agree with you having STIUTK as the best video of 2012.
We'll Be Coming Back a little bit low but still I'm so glad that is there amazing song! I really love your top 5, love all of them! It's Time is a really nice song
