The Therapist- Tristen Davies
So Tristen Davis has recently released a music video for his song “The Therapist”. In little over 8 months he’s racked up 100k plays on youtube. This is his biggest played song on youtube so far. That means it’s only going to go up from here. I asked him how it felt when he realized his video had reached 100k and he said “ It feels great! unexpected but grateful.” I just know it’s such a amazing feeling to see that one of your songs you put your heart and soul into and it picks up the traction that it deserves. He also stated that he wrote it in his dorm room and only took him 20 minutes to write it up, didn’t change a word to it. I asked him what inspired the visuals behind the video and he said “ King Von had just died like maybe a week before so i wanted to write up a conversational video where I could pour out my emotions , people just don’t do that anymore. Very Damien by DMX , My darling by Eminem inspired. Same as the visuals.” I love to see music artist step outside their box and make a super emotional and deep song that really means something to them and a song they’ll hold close to them. Not all the time do we get the emotional side from some of these artist. I also asked him if this was his favorite or at least one of his favorites. He said “It’s definitely top 3. The last time I listened to it fully, I cried, haven’t got back since but definitely one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever wrote.” I’d have to agree with him this is one the most beautiful songs I’ve heard by him. I really appreciated the craft in this song the deep meaning behind the it. He made this song very relatable, so to me it connects to the listener. Anyone going through these same problems will find a comfort listening to this song. This personal has to be one of my favorite songs by him as of the moment. He really put everything into this song and it’s crazy to think he only wrote it in 20 minutes. It really shows that some of the best songs are the unexpected ones. I’m glad to see it reaching to 100k plus on youtube and hope it keeps going up from there. He truly deserves it with all the work he’s been putting into his music. He stated “ I just want people to relate through my music. People have other emotions other than sex, money, murder, and hatred, people just want to vent sometimes. That’s all.” I love how he’s giving a outlet not on to his fans but to anyone that could stumble upon him. Anyone that’s going through could stumble upon this song and help their out look on life. I feel that Tristen Davies is one of the most slept on upcoming music artist. He puts so much effort into his music and really tries to step outside the box and connect with anyone with his music. Rather your going through it or just want to vibe he’s got the songs for you. He’s going on to do better things. I hope this video/song reaches more people and gets to the millions this could really help a lot of people. All the comments on the video are so happy to have found this track. So be sure to check out his track “The Therapist” on youtube. I really feel this song will help a bunch of people and the things their going through. https://youtu.be/LJYxyUrRzOA

Okay, why is next to no one talking about the songs cut from the Percy Jackson Musical? I've had the song "Try" on repeat for hours and with lines like "I may fail but it doesn't mean that I won't try," who wouldn't?!

If it ain't broke...my previous article here on the best choreo of 2018 went down so well I've been planning an encore - on top of which the last twelve months - let's just say I had some time become a certified dance sequence fiend. Award shows, music videos, talk show appearances - you name it, and I was all over it so that you may have a few minutes interest ha. So settle in.

Song: Meet Me At Our Spot By: The Anxiety (Willow, Tyler Cole) General Review: I just stumbled across the live version of this song and eventually fell in love with it. Why didn’t I come across this masterpiece before now? This song radiates the best vibes! It is one of those songs you play when you're on a road trip or on a long drive. It's so beautiful in a way that makes you want to speak about it. But at the same time, you can't explain it because it's that beautiful!

I Will Sing No Requiem
As I write this, I have not seen the West End production nor the film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen. I plan to see the film version, so I will not be commenting on the controversy surrounding the casting or creative decisions until I get a chance to see and review it.

There's a certain thrill that belongs to this time of the year. It is unique, frightening, and coquettish even. There's a calling to want to be creeped out, disturbed, or toyed with in an unsettling fashion.

Graveyard Smash seems at first blush what hoops players refer to a lay in equaling, a gimme. Any idiot can figure somebody here recalls Monster Mash Party; it makes a good launching point. I personally liked the theme music to a certain kiddie show who's initials were H. R. P., as in " Who'll be there when things get tough " and can't get a little if ya' can't get enough...or something. I like Jane Pauley's husband's fictional quote of Robert Zimmerman which said " I just want to make it rhyme, man " .
P. B. FriedmanPublished 3 years ago in BeatMichael Jackson's other Halloween song
Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” is a masterpiece. The video made history for Michael by being the first black person to have a music video on MTV. The music video, or more like music “movie” was amazing. The choreography is a classic that is difficult to do, based on personal experience. Last but not least the song is amazing and can make anyone want to get out of their seat. However, that is not Michael Jackson’s only Halloween song. One of Michael Jackson’s most underrated songs in my opinion, was the 1997 song “Ghost” on his "Blood on the Dance Floor" album.
A Graveyard Smash
A Graveyard Smash , is taken from Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Crypt Kickers 1962 Hit “Monster Mash” , more Abbott and Costello than Bela Lugosi. So here is mine, I hope there will be nothing too obvious in here , so this is unlikely to be a winner as no Halloween DJ will have heard of any of these artists (well maybe) , but the records , I am not sure.
