Music redommendations mostly in the alternative/modern rock genre. You can also expect some '90s eurodance or hungarian music. Or anything else. :) Information, and facts in the song descriptions come mostly from wikipedia.com, last.fm, and songfacts.com.

One Night Only - Say You Don't Want it
The song's music video features actress Emma Watson. Lead singer George Craig told The News of the World that he got to know the Harry Potter
star after they both featured in a Burberry modeling campaign. He
explained: "We became really great mates and she asked to be in the
video. She wants to be a rock chick after ten years of Harry Potter."

Vampire Weekend - White Sky
Frontman Ezra Koenig explained in track-by-track production notes: "It's inspired by
some of the same African vibes and rhythms that influenced the debut,
but the finished product represents a new chapter in the band's sound.
"This song picks up where M79 left off. Similar people, similar
geography, but, I think, a more developed sense of purpose."

Lifehouse - You And Me
Lead
singer Jason Wade wrote this when he was young. Originally titled "You
And Me And All Of The People," this song was revived and renamed to the
shorter "You and Me." It was the first single from Lifehouse's third
album.
Pearl Jam - Just Breathe
Vedder (the singer of the band) described this song to the Canadian radio station The Edge as "as close to a love song as we've ever gotten." He added to the Toronto Globe and Mail:
"There's never a dull moment on the road – every day it's something.
Maybe that's why my goal is the dull moment. That's what this song is:
It's saying, 'Just stop, and be together. Don't talk now, just breathe
and feel each other's presence – now that the kids are in bed.'"

Julian Casablancas - Out Of The Blue
On this track Casablancas maps out his emotions. He sings of
"hopefulness turning into sadness turning into bitterness turning into
anger, and then anger into vengeance." The Guardian November 28,
2009 asked him if the song reflected his feelings about The Strokes. He
replied: "It's about situations where you think nothing good will come,
you feel stuck in a bad place, but I don't want to say it's about anyone
in particular… why, what would you like me to say?" The interviewer
pressed Casablancas if it was "a seething rant about hating the
Strokes?" He responded: "I have to go play music with them next week.
It'd be like, 'Hey! So you hate me?' But the whole point of that song is
that those feelings are useless; they just turn pain on to yourself."
Krezip - All My Life
Krezip was a Dutch band from Tilburg,
formed in 1997. It was notable for the band members' young ages during
their original breakthrough. The band has had several successful albums
and singles in the Benelux
countries (Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands). The origin of
their name remains unclear, though a popular explanation is that the
name is an anagram of "perzik", the Dutch word for "peach".

Jimmy Eat World - My Best Theory
This is the lead single from Jimmy Eat World's seventh studio album "Invented".
The single was digitally released and began receiving radio airplay on
August 10, 2010. It was the American alternative rock band's first
release for three years and at the beginning of this track, lead singer
Jim Adkins sums up their hiatus proclaiming, "It's been a long time."
Ihász Gábor - Múlnak a gyermekévek
Another hungarian piece. Gábor Ihász was a very influential songwriter in the '70s and '80s, writing songs for a lot of pop icons. He also released two albums himself, and this is one of his biggest hits. This song is about the childhood years passing, where you can never return. This is a very sentimental one. :)
