Best The O.C. music moments

Thu, 1 Nov 2007 18:36:28 +0000

10th: Jet - Move On [112 The Secret]

Funny moment of this episode. After hard episodes occouring to the group, it's difficult to go back to school. And Seth and his funny way.

9th: Coldplay - Fix You [223 The O.Sea]

Cute and sad scenes. Seth and Summer dancing on the prom, Marissa and Ryan <3, Caleb dies in a unfair moment [poor Julie] and a beautiful song in background.

8th: Patrick Park - Life is a Song [416 The End's not near, it's here]

I didn't see the 4th Season in full, but I didn't cope to see this scene. It shows the future of the characters, and makes everyone that liked the show cry and pray for more TheOC. The sad end :'(, changes, and a new beginning.

7th: Matt Pond PA - Champagne Supernova [214 The Rainy Day Woman]

A really cute and classic scene. With reference of the movie Spider Man, Summer kisses Seth. It was not the purpose :D Sorry for this low quality video.

6th: Youth Group - Forever Young [304 The Last Waltz]

One of the cutest scenes from TheOC. Ryan and Marissa dancing a beautiful song. A very beautiful cover.

5th: Nada Surf - If You Leave [121 The Goodbye Girl]

A sad moment of the 1st Season. Anna go away when Seth needs her friendship. The scene and the song are fantastic, makes me cry.

4th: Phantom Planet - California [Opening Credits]

I couldn't leave this song behind. Such a classic opening credits song. It makes me miss TheOC everytime i see it.

3rd: Jem - Maybe I'm Amazed [127 The Ties That Bind]

One of the best moments of the season finale. A sad farewell, but understanding. A just lonely Seth lose his best friend. Great moment!

2nd: Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah [127 The Ties That Bind]

The unforgetable end of 1st Season. This scene made me cry like a baby: "Too much love and this? It's unfair!!". No more comments.

1st: Finley Quaye - Dice [114 The Countdown]

A exciting moment from this show [that starts before the start of the video]. Ryan has to meet Marissa before the New Year, because of a superstition; then starts a tense climate... will he arrives at time?... will Oliver stay with Marissa at the great time? In background, a spectacular song by Finley Quaye, featuring William Orbit and Beth Orton. One of the best scenes from TheOC. Surely it is the 1st place!

In fact, The O.C. was a great show, not only for this content, but for all good music. Some of those you can hear on the Music From The O.C. mixes available on stores. Or in this site: www.musicfromtheoc.com . Comment and enjoy :D

Best Album Covers

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 17:14:42 +0000

Do you know any albuns that you want to be next to it all time? Not only for hearing, of course; but also for looking to that art involved in so great music. Thinking about this, from the albuns I ever heard, I made a list of those with better cover, or with better art [including the booklet art]. Here it comes:

10th: ABBA - Arrival
The album has a different climate from the last ones: the songs are more dance, such as the classical "Dancing Queen"; Moreover, with romantic songs with great emotion in interpreting [the girls rocks]. Somehow, the cover impresses me, catches my vision. I can't explain.
Highlights: Tiger and My Love, My Life

9th: Coldplay - X&Y
The album is great, with a simple, but cool, cover. The songs are... how can I explain... transports me into outer space, in a floating place. I don't know, it's a good feeling!
Highlights: White Shadows and X&Y

8th: The Cranberries - Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
With greats songs sung by a g-r-e-a-t singer, the album could only be the maximum. But add a happy and beautiful cover, and the job's done. Bury the Hatchet is a great album, better than "Wake Up..."; but the cover's got me.
Highlights: The Concept and Do You Know

7th: Beyoncé - B'Day Deluxe Edition
Better than the first edition, the album has catchy songs. Beyoncé has a so great and strong voice, and I like this kind of voice. In addition, it's one of the few albuns that I hear in full.
Highlights: Green Light and Resentment

6th: Madonna - Confessions on a Dance Floor
Every word that I type would be small for the album's size. One of the best steps of her. Rock out, Madonna!
Highlights: Sorry and How High

5th: Rooney - Calling The World
Unfairly, this band doesn't have the fame that it deserves. The sound's good, catchy and always makes me a little better. Why is it one of the best covers? Well, it makes me feel that they're a new Rooney [and in fact, they are], with a different and better sound, compared with the first album. PS: this cover is now my wallpaper :D
Highlights: the entire album

4th: Vanessa da Mata - Sim
Great singer, beautiful beautiful beautiful voice, cool songs and lyrics. It's enough. Her talent speaks for her.
Highlights: Vermelho, Você Vai Me Destruir and Boa Sorte / Good Luck

3rd: Various Artists - Music From the O.C.: Mix 2
The album has great songs from a spectacular TV Show. Both the songs and the cover reminds me a good and unforgettable time of my life, when I met the best people I could have known.
Highlights: Hello Sunshine and If You Leave

2nd: Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics
Fantastic album that shows the change of Christina's songs. We've already seen this change in a less scale on Stripped, but in Back to Basics, it is incomparable. There are people that prefer Stripped, but I'm not one of them. Not only the cover but all booklet art are so beautiful and well done. Good job, Christina!
Highlights: Back In The Day and Welcome

1st: Keane - Under The Iron Sea
And finally, other album that transports me into outer space. I can't understand how a band can make so good songs, I'm impressed. And the cover album is incredible! It deserves the 1st place.
Highlights: Atlantic and Nothing In My Way

You may be asking to yourself: and THAT album of THAT artist...?!?! Still missing a musical 'travel' for me, I know. And I know that it won't take a month for this list to change :D
By the way, any suggestion about some good album with a very good cover is very welcome :D~
