First Song of the Day: Monkey Majik ~ Around the World

I woke up humming this song so I had to go online and listen to it. The Youtube uploader even included the lyrics - thanks/arigato TecojobichiSensei




Every night I look to the skies and wonder what we did.
Always a naive point of view that breaks us in the end.
If I could find the meaning of it all I'd take the chance.
Maybe in time, we'll walk the mile a change it if we can.

It's now and always,
How did we get this far,
did we get this far, now?
Always,
We're making a brand new start,
just a brand new start, now.
Always,
Nothing can hold me down,
never hold me down, now.
Always,
Wave goodbye to me!

Around the world,
I'll find out why we came to be.
Around the world,
the secret lies in side of he.
Around the world,
I'll find the hero inside me.

But don't run away,
'cause if it's not okay,
I'll change that world,
into something better, honey.

Night after night, we take our time in searching for the clues,
All we can find our situations, hard times to be through.
But when we side together nothing can get in our way.
Using our minds to fight the odds, now watch me save the day.

It's now and always,
How did we get this far,
did we get this far, now?
Always,
We're making a brand new start,
just a brand new start, now.
Always,
Nothing will hold me down,
never hold me down, now.
Always,
Wave goodbye to me!

Around the world,
I'll find out why we came to be.
Around the world,
a secret lies in side of he.
Around the world,
I'll find the hero inside me.

But don't run away,
'cause if it's not okay,yeah.

And you know it's gonna be raining.
And you know it's gonna be hard. (Hard!)
As long as we trust each other,
nothing gonna break apart. Oh no! No!
If you wanna be somebody,
get up on your feet and go-o-o-o.
I know we're gonna meet each other,
somewhere around the globe!

Around the world,
I'll find out why we came to be.
Around the world,
the secret lies in side of he.
Around the world,
I'll find the hero inside me.

But don't run away,
'cause if it's not okay.

But don't run away,
'cause if it's not okay,
I'll change that world,
into something better, honey.

Monkey Majik

Now to introduce you to a band I've really been into lately,Monkey Majik. Part of the interesting thing about them is that the the singers/guitarist, the Plant brothers although in a Japanese band and living in Sendai are from Canada. Together with the drummer,"tax" and bassist,"DICK" they have even had their second single"Around the World" peaking at 4th on the Unicorn charts.

Well here is a personal favorite (other than their Picture Perfect with M-flo)

and their website

Music in Many Languages

So since this is my first post here so I'll keep it short.

As AnOldiebutaGoodie already mentioned we don't just listen to American bands or ones who sing in English but also ones in other languages. I guess the first other languages would have been Spanish though that was in some ways accidental. Next would have been Japanese then Korean. Those I got interested in after watching some Japanese and Korean shows. And I've also heard some good Chinese musicians however since I don't know any Chinese I can't say I listen to much. If you don't listen to songs in other languages I suggest you start. You can really miss out on some good songs. Now I can't imagine what I would be listening to if I hadn't heard of OrangeRange,Utada Hikaru,Tokyo Jihen,or Humming Urban Stereo! Even when you can't understand all the words some things just go past words.
