Year 8, Day 365

Hey guys. Today's song is Dead Girl Walking from Heathers: The Musical.

This song marks the official end of all the songs I've had saved for my blog (minus some Christmas ones). I know I usually say this at the end of the year of my blog, but this time I truly don't know if I'll be coming back, which is why I was making such a push to get all the saved songs out there this time. It'll really depend on where my headspace is when and if I come back, and honestly if I even have time. I have so many half finished projects that have been on the backburner and it's about time for me to get those done, so we'll see how much I can accomplish in the next couple months. If this does end up being the end I just want to say thanks for taking this journey with me, I hope you had a good time, and keep putting your listening ears out there and finding new gems.

Peace.

Year 8, Day 364

Hey guys. Today's song is Call Me When You're Sober by Evanescence.

Evanescence is an American band, active since 1995 with the current members being Amy Lee, Tim McCord, Will Hunt, Troy McLawhorn and Emma Anzai with past members including Ben Moody, David Hodges, Will Boyd, Rocky Gray, John LeCompt, Terry Balsamo, and Jen Majura. The group was started by Lee and Moody who met at a Christian youth camp where they were both kind of the odd ones out.They started playing gigs, and selling their EPs, released in 1998, 1999 and 2003 and their early demo from 2000, at their shows which earned some local radio play and built their local following. They were signed in 2001, releasing an album in 2003, followed by another in 2006. After the tour for the album in 2007, Lee took a break, then came back and was writing her next album in 2010, that was released in 2011. In 2014 their label sold their masters, leading to a lawsuit from Lee for their unpaid royalties, and ended with them being dropped from the label. Lee started focusing on solo stuff in 2015, but was also still working with the band, touring in 2016. They released an album in 2017, followed by a tour. They had another hour that was released in 2021 followed by touring in 2022 and 2023 so they're still going strong. This is one of their older songs, but if you're interested you should go check out some of their newer stuff.

Peace.

Year 8, Day 363

Hey guys. Today's song is Again by Flyleaf.

Flyleaf is an American band, active from 2002 until 2015, then again since 2022 with members including James Culpepper, Sameer Bhattacharya, Jared Hartmann, Pat Seals, and  Lacey Sturm with one past member in Kristen May. Originally they went by the name Passerby, releasing three EPs before getting meetings with labels in 2004, leading to them being signed. They started recording another EP, then had to change the band name for legal reasons, and became Flyleaf. They released four albums, with the first released in 2005, and another in 2009 and 2012, with other EPs in between. Sturm stepped down as vocalist from the group in 2012, being replaced by May for their album in 2014. She stayed until 2016, then left the group, followed by the entire group going on a hiatus and focusing on their other interests. Their social media went active again in 2022, featuring Sturm back as the singer, so I guess we'll see what happens next. Until then, enjoy this song.

Peace.

Year 8, Day 362

Hey guys. Today's song is Happier Than Ever sung by Kelly Clarkson.

Photo by: VagueOnTheHow

So I'm featuring Kelly Clarkson today, but the song is actually a cover of a Billie Eilish song. Kelly does a lot of covers, always has and I think she does a great job at them. If I hadn't read the comments I never would have known this wasn't one of her songs, as it's the version I heard first, but you can listen to Billie's version of it here. I will admit to liking Kelly's more, but I would be remiss if I didn't give the original its proper dues. And honestly they both feel like they fit different situations and different moods. So now you can listen to both and check out the differences. Enjoy!

Peace.

Year 8, Day 361

Hey guys. Today's song is Some Kind Of Heaven by Sleeping At Last.

Sleeping At Last is a musical project active since 1999 by Ryan O'Neal, with past members being Chad O'Neal and Dan Perdue. They started out as a locally known band, independently released their album in 2000, and opened for other bands like Plain White T's before earning the attention of Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame. He helped them get signed to a label in 2002. Their next album was released in 2003, followed by a lot of touring. By 2006 they were no longer with a label and released their third album independently. Chad O'Neal left the project in 2008, then the other two released their next album in 2009. In 2010 they started a Yearbook project, releasing a couple songs in an EP each month for a year, going into 2011.  Later in 2011 Dan Perdue also left the project, leaving Ryan as the only member. He released an EP in 2012 followed by the announcement of another series of EPs with four released in 2013, and two released in 2014.  He announced Atlas Year 2, which was more of those EPs in 2015 with one released in 2015, two in 2016, one in 2017, and one in 2019.  He released another EP in 2020. Then in 2021 he announced the Year 3 of the Atlas project would be going on so he's still going. So go check those out if you're curious.

Peace.

Year 8, Day 360

Hey guys. Today's song is Perfectly Broken by BANNERS.

BANNERS is the stage name for Michael Joseph Nelson, a British musician active since 2015. His debut single was released under the moniker Raines before switching to this one for his second single later in the year.He was signed in 2016, releasing his debut EP the same year. He released another EP in 2017, followed by his debut album in 2019. After touring a bit for the album he released four more EPs in 2020 and another in 2021. I'm sure we'll be seeing more from him soon and I honestly can't wait for that.

Peace.
