Modern music

Music has changed a lot from bands like Queen and Wham to bands like Thirty seconds to mars and The script. Below are some videos of songs that i think are the greatest impact on the audience of today.



This video is of Christina Perri's song 'A thousand years'. This is a love song which is featured in the film Breaking Dawn part one, twilight saga films. It is pop, pinao rock. It is a very popular song as it appeals to everyone, the lyrics and the simple video creates an emotional response with the viewers. The video includes clips of the Breaking Dawn film so that it can also promote the film as well as this song. The way she is dressed is so simple but it still keeps you interested in what she is actually singing.It was released in 2011 and was written by Christina Perri. 



The video above is of Selena Gomez's song 'Come and Get it'. It was released in 2013 and was written by Ester Dean, M.S. Eriksen, and T.E. Hermansen. It is a Worldbeat, tribal-electropop. It is a song which you cannot stay still to, its Bollywood inspired from the music to the way she dresses and dances. It tells a story through the lyrics and some of the shots used in the video like the dance scene and the shots of Selena with a boy. It is a very modern song which appeals to a wide younger audience.   



"Hall of Fame" is a song by Irish piano rock band The Script. It is the lead single from their third studio album #3. The track features The Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am. The track was given its first radio play on Capital on 23 July 2012.  Written and co-produced by the band, the song is about following on your dreams and making an impact on the world. The song was also made the official theme for WWE's 2013 Hall Of Fame ceremony. The song is also being used to advertise the return of serial dramas All My Children and One Life to LiveA lyric video for the track was released on 23 July 2012. The music video was released on 19 August through the band’s official site. The accompanying music video sees the stars performing the track in a deserted warehouse, while other scenes feature an aspiring boxer and deaf ballet dancer in training. It is Pop rock, piano rock. This is an inspiring video and song as it shows that anyone can do anything even if your deaf.  


"Heart Attack" is a song by recorded by American singer Demi Lovato for her fourth studio album Demi (2013). It was released on February 24, 2013 by Hollywood Records as the lead single from the album. The song was written by Sean Douglas, Nikki Williams, Aaron Phillips and Lovato, with the song's producers Mitch Allan and Jason Evigan. "Heart Attack" is an electropop song that employs cardiac arrest as a metaphor for love sickness. The single debuted at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is a very good song as it appeals to a lot of people due to the fact that it is saying what most people think about relationships. I like the song as it is very catchy and when you sing it you can belt it out. The video is so strange but it is eye catching.   


Radioactive" is a song recorded by American indie rock band Imagine Dragons for their major-label debut EP Continued Silence and later on their debut studio album, Night Visions, as the opening track. "Radioactive" was first sent to radio on April 2, 2012 and again on October 29, 2012 as the second single in the United States and the third overall.
Musically, "Radioactive" is an indie rock song with elements of electronic rock and dubstep, while containing cryptic lyrics of apocalyptic and revolutionist themes. The song received acclaim from critics who praised the production, lyrics, and vocals and calling it a highlight on the album. Due to heavy rotation on commercials and trailers, in the USA the song has so far reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, their first top 10 single. It also reached No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs, Billboard Rock Songs, and Swedish Singles charts. It has topped the Billboard Alternative Songs chart for 13 weeks. This video is one of my favorite songs . It is different from most as the it has a good beat and the lyrics are easy to remember. The video is also interesting as its like they are singing about what is going to happen in the future.  


"My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" is a song written and recorded by American rock band Fall Out Boy, released as the lead single for their fifth studio album, Save Rock and Roll. It serves as the band's comeback single following their three-year hiatus and regrouping in early 2013. The track was released on February 4, 2013 worldwide and February 5, 2013 in North America to coincide with the official news of the band's reformation. The band felt that the song best represented their album at its core. This video is a perfect exmaple of starting over, which is what the band wanted to be put across as this is their first song since they got back together. I love this song as it has a good beat, the lyrics are good and meaningful and the video is interesting and eye catching.



"Still Into You" is a song by American rock band Paramore. It was released on March 14, 2013 as the second single from their self-titled fourth album, Paramore. Different from their previous single "Now", which showed a darker intensity, "Still Into You" derives from genres such as power pop, pop rock and new wave. The song has received positive reviews from music critics, who have praised the pop rock sound, and Hayley Williams' vocals, commending them as "strong and effective". It is Power pop, pop rock, new wave music.
I think this video is a good example of how people feel about others. It is also a very interesting vdieo and the lyrics are amzing.  


"Bite My Tongue" is the second single from You Me at Six's third studio album Sinners Never Sleep. The single was released on 4 December 2011 as a digital download in the United Kingdom. The single only reached #124 on the UK Singles Chart. The song features vocals from Oliver Sykes of Bring Me the HorizonThe music video to accompany the release of "Bite My Tongue" was first released onto YouTube on 6 November 2011 at a total length of three minutes and forty-five seconds. It is Alternative rock. post-hardcore. I think this is a perfect rocking out song. It has a good beat, it might not be for everyone but it is still an amazing song and expresses the general feelings of everyone. The video is very interesting and makes you really watch.


"Troublemaker" is a song by English recording artist Olly Murs, released as the lead single from his third studio album Right Place Right Time (2012). It features American rapper Flo Rida. "Troublemaker" was co-written by Olly Murs, Steve RobsonClaude Kelly and Flo Rida, and was produced by Robson. The song premiered on 8 October 2012, in the United Kingdom on the Capital FM radio station and was made available to download on 12 October in certain international territories. "Troublemaker" was a major commercial success. In the United Kingdom the song debuted atop the UK Singles Chart, making it Murs' fourth single to reach number one and his first to spend more than a week at the top spot. It also served as the closing song at Murs's 2013 arena tour. This song is kind of comical and is fun to listen to as it is catchy and has a good beat.
