Dispatches by Adrian Conoza

I am fond of most of the songs in Linkin Park's album Living Things , which I deem is one of their greatest compilations. The first time I heard this, I was amazed. This is a fresh treatment of their unique rock style, piecing together elements from their albums before Living Things . Military-like, yes it really is, with a good interweaving of moody electronic sounds, and really alternative rock riffs. I do like that "army" bridge. It makes the song whole, and much more felt and not just heard.

I heard this in the end of the movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter , though I haven't viewed the movie entirely. But I really like this song, the last track from the rock band's album, Living Things . Full of emotion, energetic in electronica, and strong in rock. I felt with this because sometimes I did feel powerless with regards to situations and people around me.

We're finally at the final 10! At last! What to expect? It's yours to unfold. Well, you really have to listen. You may find these songs nice and put it in your cellphones—ahem—smartphones. So why don't you give them a try? Let's unfold these remarkable songs I listened at third year. 10. " You got to push, got to shove" Life On The Nickel|Foster The People Yeah yeah yeah. We have FTP again...or FTPs. Anyway, aside from the unique electronic and pop-ish sound of FTP, the words of "Hustling", a.k.a. "Life On The Nickel", is relative to how my day to day life turned out before. For me, the word hustling is like working in the wee hours of the night and staying awake like an insomniac. Working here, working there. I also like the pumped-up live version . 9. " But then I act like I know everything" Broken Jaw|Foster The People Yeah yeah...A slow progression followed by a DJ-like upbeat tempo. That's how I'll describe "Br...

Please bear with me. This list runs for almost 7 months! I missed updating this 101 songs because—guess what—I'm busy doing what has to be done this 4th year. I told it on my past post. But speaking of school...We're already down to the top 20 songs of my third year. These songs are pieces and parts of my past school year. These songs were the songs I got to listen to most of the time. For this part, we have a new band to be featured—a distinctive band in the Philippines named Up Dharma Down. Also expect some Linkin Park, M83, FTP, and James Blake. Don't know them yet? Know them here. 20. " Can you feel the rush rush?" Davenport|Never The Strangers At 20 we have a synth-filled, dramatic song of Never The Strangers. I don't really know why this is entitled "Davenport". It is either a place or the type of sofa. But what I liked in this track is that it speaks of going away and being away, and it is spoken thoroughly.  19. " Iindak na lamang ba s...

We're finally halfway through the 101 Songs of My Third Year. So many songs that it took a list as long as this. I hope you'll find something new here to listen and like. What to expect? Linkin Park. Muse. Indie bands like Two Door Cinema Club and Foster The People. Then local rappers like Loonie and Gloc 9. But also, with these songs come the words they convey that a teenager like me can relate to. Just check it out! 50. "A ll I want to do i s be more like me and be less like you" Numb|Linkin Park Actually, I have heard of Linkin Park since elementary years. My siblings are fans of the band, and I'm becoming one too.  Numb. So true. I can relate to the lyrics directly since I have become tired of the expectations of and the pressures by some people around me. Because I'm who I am, and I want to become more of that. I felt like I'm screaming this song out. Like I'm shouting it to all the burdens I had.  49. " You hid there last time, you know we...
