Hello. If you are reading this, I am no longer blogging on this blog. But, there are almost 250 posts, so feel free to look through them. Even though it won't be new music, it'll still be good music.So . . . bye.*This is 12/23/13. I changed the polls slightly so that you can vote until 1/1/24. That's almost ten years from now. I at least wanted any people who happened to be visiting to be able to vote. I didn't extend it any longer because this blog will either get deleted or aliens will cause mass chaos by deleting the internet or murdering that huge satellite in space.Thought you might want to know that my friend has a blog, and we are very alike. http://www.electricperspectivemusic.blogspot.com/Yeah. Oh well. Yeah. This blog is kind of . . . dead. I guess this is goodbye. Again. Because it's a second goodbye, it's awkwarder, so there's no way to wrap this up. But I'm not a writer or anything, and this is the internet, so I can cut myself off midsentence and add three little dots afterwards . . .

The band I'm going to talk about today is Highways.
I really struggled to put them into 3 different categories to present them to you. I could just present them to you as a band you should go listen to, but they're very similar to Tonight Alive, but I don't really listen to them any more.
So here you. Let's start off with telling you why they are similar to Tonight Alive:
- The members of the band are from Australia, so the lead singers have the same accents.
- The overall genre of music is the same, or at least very similar.
- The lead singers are both very powerful and talented.
- The structure of the songs are similar. Kind of like a loud intro, soft verse, then they exploded at the chorus, then they have a 2nd verse that kind of leads up to the chorus, then the chorus, then the transition, then the last chorus, then they somehow tie things up perfectly.
And the reason why they are a band that I used to like is because I just don't listen to them anymore.
So here are a few songs from Highways:

Hope you like this. If not then...that's your opinion.
I felt like doing a segment where I don't show you horrible music.
By the way, this will hopefully be the last segment I make for a while, and by a while, I mean a week. I'll try to restrain myself.
Most of the songs that I really like, I've already showed you. So I've been on a hunt for new music.
Before we begin, I wanted to define favorite song. In my opinion, a favorite song is a song you can't stop listening to. Most of the time, I can't stop listening to it for a short period of time, and then I move on to some other song that's better.
I had to delve into the past, so these won't be my current favorite songs.
If you're wondering, my current favorite is Anthem of the Lonely by Nine Lashes, but I've already talked about them.
So the song that I used to really like that I'll be talking about today is Breaking and Entering by Tonight Alive. Again, it's not my current favorite song, but it was all I would listen to for two weeks a year ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc6lhFWhofA
I still have a tiny obsession with that song.
As long as we're on the topic of Tonight Alive, I used to also like this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReDe0-Wg00A
I also have a small obsession with that song as well.
I really never know how to end these things. I kind of just want to stop after that, because I can never find a clever way to end something and leave the reader satisfied.
Oh well.
Okay, so I'm not going to give you the individual links, because Tonight Alive released a ton of music. If you go to their VEVO channel, you can find ALL of the songs.
Tonight Alive has been making quite a bit of new music lately. In case you missed it, here's their song "The Ocean" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXaYGWv4WSg
But they recently released a song called "Lonely Girl"
I really like it. It sounds a bit like some of their less recent songs, and I think the song is kind of catchy. Everything just went together and I suggest that you listen to the song. If you like Tonight Alive, you'll like this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrkfkwzChoM
