Top 5 songs.

I decided that since I haven't been able to get out and take pictures recently, I'd educate you with some awesome music!
I have quite a varied music taste, but I do tend to favour the heavier genres. These are five songs that I love at the moment (I'll start with the more mellow ones). I'm also going to put my favourite lyric from each song on here.

The Cure - Apart
I've not been listening to The Cure for long, but I really love this.
"How did we get so far apart, we used to be so close together".


The Rasmus - Smash 
The Rasmus before "In The Shadows". This song is from their 4th album Into (Finnish for "zeal" or "spirit") from 2001. I started listening to them when they released Dead Letters in 2003, and went a little bit mad and bought all their previous albums too! This song is one of my favourites from their more pop-rocky phase.
"I can't reach you and it's killing me"


Nine Inch Nails - We're In This Together
Trent Reznor is a fudging genius. This song was on the Avengers trailer! :D Lyrically, it's one of my favourite songs ever.

"Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin, they pick and they pull, try to get their fingers in."
"As lost as I get, I will find you." / "You and me, even after everything, you're the Queen and I'm the King."


Rammstein - Ohne Dich (Without You)

 Okay so a love song from a German industrial metal band isn't going to be to everyone's tastes, but I think it's sweet!
"Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein" ("Without you, I cannot be")


Nine Inch Nails - Happiness In Slavery
Did you really think that NIN would only appear once? By far my favourite band ever. I have no idea what drugs Trent was on when he wrote this, or anything else for that matter. This music cannot come from a sober mind, it's just too ASDFGHJKL. There is no word to describe Nine Inch Nails. There is a song for every mood, every feeling, every person. I haven't put the actual music video on here because it is extremely... Adult. If you want to see it then YouTube it, but I will warn you now that it involves some sort of bizarre sadomasochism and male nudity.
"I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been. Human junk, just words and so much skin. Stick my hands through the cage of this endless routine, just some flesh caught in this big broken machine."

So there you have it. Five of my favourite songs at the moment. By next week, I will have played them so many times that I hate them and never want to hear them again! Next time I do this, I'll try to include some less obscure music (I don't consider any of this obscure, but a lot of people apparently do).
