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".

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.

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. :)
