Random Thoughts Six_Daughtry

Apparently, Daughtry is my new favorite band now.. xD
(Along with Westlife, Backstreet Boys, YB, One Republic, and Simple Plan, that is.. lol)

Oh. My. God. They are so AWESOME o_O

The first time I listened to their music? I think it was when one of my friends put on Crawling Back to You while waiting for a bus or something. And back then, I wasn't that impressed with it.. Well it was one of those times when I hated rock bands.. lol to me, what they called "music" only sounded like an endless series of screams. I had no idea why people would like something so loud and ear-piercing and stuff..

But later on, I started to understand why people would like rock music.. Well mainly because I started liking it too. And also because I found out that heavy metal wasn't the only kind of rock (duhhh).. And YB and Simple Plan.. They just showed me a new world of rock music. xD

And then I encountered Daughtry's music again purely by chance.

I was in a hotel (on my Vision Trip), just lying on my bed with the radio on. And all of a sudden a familiar song came on. The melody was so familiar, and I even sang along the chorus (I kinda knew the lyrics for that part)..

Of all the things I still remember
Summers never look the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

And then I realized I didn't know the title. o_O
So I looked it up, and it said it was September by Daughtry.
I was like, 'hmm.. Daughtry? Wait, the rock band? What?'
September is rather a quiet, peaceful song, so I didn't expect it to come from a rock band..

Anyways, that song lingered in my head for the next two or three days, and I actually liked it so much that I decided to look for other songs by Daughtry..

And now I'm a big fan of Daughtry.

Well yeah, that's what happened.

And here's one of my favorite songs.
(If you like this, go listen to September, No Surprise, Renegade, Outta My Head, and whatever else you can find. xD)

Daughtry - Over You


Now that it's all said and done 

I can't believe you were the one 
To build me up then tear me down 
Like an old abandoned house 
And what you said when you left 
Just left me cold and out of breath 
I fell too far, was in way too deep 
Guess I let you get the best of me



Well I never saw it coming 

I should've started running 
A long, long time ago 
And I never thought to doubt you 
I’m better off without you 
More than you, more than you know 
I’m slowly getting closure 
I guess it's really over 
I’m finally getting better 
Now I’m picking up the pieces 
And spending all of these years 
Putting my heart back together 
'Cause the day I thought I’d never get through 
I got over you 

You took a hammer to these walls 
Dragged the memories down the hall 
Packed your bags and walked away 
There was nothing I could say 
And when you slammed the front door shut 
A lot of others opened up 
So did my eyes, so I could see 
That you never were the best for me

Well I never saw it coming 
I should've started running 
A long, long time ago 
And I never thought to doubt you 
I’m better off without you 
More than you, more than you know 
I’m slowly getting closure 
I guess it's really over 
I’m finally getting better 
Now I’m picking up the pieces 
And spending all of these years 
Putting my heart back together 
'Cause the day I thought I’d never get through 
I got over you

I’m putting my heart back together 
'Cause I got over you
I got over you

'Cause the day I thought I’d never get through 
I got over you
