Favorite music and videos of 2006

Posted by orione on March 23, 2007

This song by James Blunt is an awesome tearjerker ballad from " Back to bedlam " album ! 2006 debut with this album has taken James blunt to places. Here is a trivia about him. The videos for all of Blunt’s singles to date feature symbolism and dark imagery. In the first video for "High", he is buried in a desert. In the first video for "Wisemen", he is kidnapped and taken hostage. In the video for "You’re Beautiful", he alludes to suicide by jumping off a cliff into the sea. The re-release video for "High" then features Blunt running in a forest. The re-release video for "Wisemen" has Blunt burning identification papers, and then walking through a forest while he is on fire. And in "Goodbye My Lover" he is singing while clips of a man and woman (played by Matt Dallas of "Kyle XY" and Mischa Barton of "The O.C.") kissing and cuddling are flashed up every few seconds. Enjoy it !

Out of my Mind by same artist is also pretty cool!

This song Buttons by Pussy cat dolls with feat Snoop Dogg is one of the catchy numbers that is my favorite among the current girl bands.This song has a strong sexual undertone, where the ladyt, who is described as a sexually attractive individual, teases her intended male subject to help her take her clothes off (hence the main chorus line "I’m telling you to loosen up my buttons") The video of this racy number is also cool. The Pussycat Dolls collaborated with Snoop Dogg. The song was altered slightly from the album version, adding in two rap verses. For the final release of the single, the version featuring Snoop Dogg is titled as the Main Mix, though most people considered it the remix. Enjoy it !
