Once Upon A Melody: Sum 41

Once Upon A Melody...

Once Upon A Melody... Music Was Found. Today, it has spiralled out in so many different forms: jazz, rock, classical, hip-hop, indie, pop, alternative, blues, country, R&B, folk, electronic, latin, experimental, reggae, trance, punk, metal... and yet some people never explore music, but just stick to their favourite bands, or listen to popular songs just to fit in. But this blog is not for those people who want to stay safe and sure: this is for those who are willing to experiment, explore, try, try and try again. I will be posting links to some of my dearest and 'favouritest' songs and bands, and some I, or my friends, have newly discovered in the large and complex musical galaxy. So if you're interested, have a look! You might just discover your new favourite band.

Sum 41

Lena, my German exchange partner, showed me this awesome band, after gasping that I had never heard of the Canadian rockers who have sold over 40 million records worldwide. Formed in 1996, it consists of Deryck Whibley, Tom Thacker, Jason McCaslin and Steve Jocz. We listened to it on the bus back from town on Saturday, and I fell in love immediately...

♫ 'With Me' - Sum 41

...yes, it's got subs because I wanted the official video, but hopefully this one won't block off Apple users :D

♫ 'Dear Father' - Sum 41 <3 a beautiful song about the father Deryck never had...
