I discovered this new artist who just came out with her debut album this July. Her name is Kerli Koiv and she's a singer from Estonia (is it just me or are all Estonian females blond? At Kathaumixw this past summer they were all blond!). She has a great voice. These two songs are my favorite, but I love most of her songs on her album Love Is Dead. I like how they're pop songs that have generally happy meanings, but they have that dark side to them. I like the video Love Is Dead better than Walking On Air but they're both a little amateur-ish. They're still great songs, though! All the embedding is disabled for her videos so here are the links to youtube. I hope you like it!
Walking On Air video
Walking On Air- Kerli
There's a little creepy house
In a little creepy place
Little creepy town
In a little creepy world
Little creepy girl
With her little creepy face
Saying funny things that you have never heard
Do you know what it's all about
Are you brave enough to figure out
Know that you could set your world on fire
If you are strong enough to leave your doubts
Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill me
Go on
And you're forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air
She has a little creepy cat
And a little creepy bat
Little rocking chair and an old blue hat
That little creepy girl
Oh she loves to sing
She has a little gift
An amazing thing
With her little funny eyes of hazel
With her little funny old blue hat
She will go and set the world on fire
No one ever thought she could do that
Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill me
Go on
And you're forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air
Flitter up
and Hover down
Be all around
Be all around
You know that I love you, go on
Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill this
Go on
And you're forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air
I am walking on air x3

Love Is Dead video
Love Is Dead- Kerli
This is the hardest part
when you feel like you're fading
All that you have has become unreal
collapsing, and aching
All I want, All I want is right here
but love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
I know that you think of me when you're
beside her, inside her
it must be so hard for you to
deny it and hide it
Oh, all I want
All I want is right here,
but love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
and love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)x2
love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)x4
Oooh, love don't live here anymore

Within Temptation
Hello fellow human beings! I just discovered a new band called Within Temptation. I first heard of them online, but I thought nothing of it. Then the other day I saw their most recent album in Best Buy. So, I looked them up on iTunes and they are amazing. It's a sort of mix between Evanescence and Nightwish. The Dutch sextet has four full-length studio albums and one of their EP albums was limited edition and sold only at Hot Topic stores. All proceeds from their single Frozen are donated to Child Helpline International. They have gret music that have rock, metal and symphonic elements. Ireally like them and invite you all to listen to the only songs I have of them due to a dwindiling iTunes allowance >.<
Our Solemn Hour-listenOur Solemn Hour- Within Temptation
Sanctus Espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus!
In my darkest hours I could not foresee
That the tide could turn so fast to this degree
Can´t believe my eyes
How can you be so blind?
Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside?
Time keeps on slipping away and we haven´t learned
So in the end now what have we gained?
Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve,
can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
Are they themselves to blame, the misery, the pain?
Didn´t we let go, allowed it, let it grow?
If we can´t restrain the beast which dwells inside
it will find it´s way somehow, somewhere in time
Will we remember all of the suffering
Cause if we fail it will be in vain
Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve,
can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
All I Need
All I Need- Within Temptation
I´m dying to catch my breath
Oh why don´t I ever learn?
I´ve lost all my trust,
though I´ve surely tried to turn it around
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace
Don´t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don´t tear me down
You´ve opened the door now, don´t let it close
I´m here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I´m only one step away
from turning it around
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace
Don´t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don´t tear it down, what´s left of me
Make my heart a better place
I tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away, don´t break me down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my fear
Don´t tear me down
Don´t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Don´t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don´t tear it down, what´s left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place
Frozen- Within Temptation
I can´t feel my senses
I just feel the cold
All colors seem to fade away
I can´t reach my soul
I would stop running, If knew there was a chance
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all but I´m forced to let go
Tell me I´m frozen but what can I do?
Can´t tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I´m frozen but what can I do?
I can feel your sorrow
You won´t forgive me,
but I know you´ll be all right
It tears me apart that you will never know but I have to let go
Tell me I´m frozen but what can I do?
Can´t tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I´m frozen but what can I do?
Everything will slip way
Shattered peaces will remain
When memories fade into emptiness
Only time will tell its tale
If it all has been in vain
I can´t feel my senses
I just feel the cold
Frozen...
But what can I do?
Frozen...
Tell me I´m frozen but what can I do?
Can´t tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I´m frozen, frozen...
