Tune In Tuesday is a weekly feature in which bloggers get to showcase another one of their loves, music! This feature was originally created by Ginger over at GReads! but you can now find it here at Kate’s Tales of Books and Bands. If you would like to participate in this weekly feature, make a blog post showcasing a song (or a few!) and link up at the bottom of this post by clicking the cute blue guy! While you’re here make sure to check out all the other awesome blogs that have decided to participate!

Hello everyone! I hope your Monday treated you well and that your Tuesday is off to an awesome start. This post concludes the special Cover Edition of Tune In Tuesday. I have had an absolute BLAST seeing everyone’s covers and I hope you have enjoyed it as well. And just so we’re clear, the month of October will be another “normal” month for us Tune-In-Tuesday-Ers! I’ve got quite a big post for you guys today because, quite honestly, I couldn’t narrow down the list. I hope you enjoy!

Dead And Gone by Cute Is What We Aim For (Original by T.I. and Justin Timberlake)

If you haven’t yet, you NEED to listen to at least one of the “Punk Goes…” albums. My personal favorite is Punk Goes Classic Rock but the Punk Goes Pop (where this song comes from) is close second. The original got way overplayed on the radio when it first came out but I love this cover of it.

Caught Up In You by We The Kings (Original by .38 Special)

You had to have known I would throw in a We The Kings song. They have done a few covers, The Middle being another favorite, but I just love how fun and upbeat this one is!

You’re The One That I Want by Angus & Julia Stone (Original by John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John)

I love, love, freaking LOVE this version of the song. It is so hauntingly beautiful and totally different from the original.

The One That Got Away by Tiffany Alvord and Chester See (Original by Katy Perry)

Both Tiffany and Chester are amazing artists I found on YouTube. I liked Katy’s version of this song but I really like this version a lot more mostly due to the fact that they slowed it down a lot.

Let Her Go by Tyler Ward (Original by Passenger)

Tyler Ward is another artist I found on YouTube who does some fantastic covers. This particular one is a favorite although it really is hard to narrow it down because I sort of love them all hardcore. He really didn’t change this one up a whole lot from the original and I think that’s what I like most about it.

Ring Of Fire by Lennon and Maisy (Original by Johnny Cash)

Every time I hear these two perform, I am blown away by their natural talent. I could listen to them sing the phone book and I would be entertained for hours and hours but you know what, I think I will stick with a Johnny Cash classic in the meantime.

Bette Davis Eyes by Taylor Swift (Original by Kim Carnes)

Nothing can beat the orignal of this one but I must say, I really enjoy Taylor’s cover of it. Her voice is totally different from Kim’s so it makes for a really interesting cover.

Ho Hey by Boyce Avenue (Original by The Lumineers)

This couldn’t even be called cover edition if I didn’t feature the kings of it, Boyce Avenue. Every cover, and yes, I do mean EVERY. SINGLE. COVER. by them is simply amazing. This guy has some truly amazing skills.

Your Love by Fay Wolf (Original by The Outfield)

This will go down in history as my all-time, absolute FAVORITE cover. EVER. I love the original something fierce; it’s one of those songs I can listen to over and over again but there is just something about this cover that I love just a teensy bit more. Hope you enjoy!

Tune In Tuesday (44)

Tune In Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely Ginger @ GReads so you should head on over and link up! It is a great way to bounce from blog to blog and discover what others are listening to! I love music but there is so much out there that I haven’t heard of before. That being said, feel free to leave a link to your Tune-In Tuesday post!

I am guilty of being lazy this week. Heck, I am guilty of being lazy every week but this week I didn’t have anything planned out at all! It was at 12 a.m. that I realized I mentioned to Tee last week that I would try her way of things and let my iTunes decide what music I would share with you guys! I simply opened it up, pressed randomized, then play and posted the five songs that showed up. Before you take a listen, keep in mind THIS IS A NO JUDGMENT ZONE! I have a very…eclectic taste in music so there are some very random tunes here but I love them all. Hope you guys enjoy!

Favorite Song- Pop! Fiction

This is one of those random, small bands I met at Warped Tour. I am pretty sure I got their CD for $5 if not for free. Their songs are very poppy but then again, it is in the name. They make me smile :)

Curse of Curves- Cute Is What We Aim For

Oh if these guys don’t bring back memories of high school then I don’t know who would! I listened to their CD every day while showering for a full year straight. I will never get sick of listening to it!

Stories- There For Tomorrow

There For Tomorrow captured my heart long ago and they still have it. This will forever be one of my favorite songs from them!

Big City Dreams- NeverShoutNever

To be honest, I HATED this song. It was my sister’s ringtone a long time ago so every time she got a call or text it would go off. My sister was quite the popular little thing so it seemed like this song was going off every 5 seconds. Now that the ringtone has changed, so have my feelings over it. It’s actually a pretty cute song.

Anna Sun- Walk The Moon

I have Ms. Ginger to thank for this obsession. When she so kindly sent me a mixed CD a couple of months back, this song was number one. I cannot tell you how many times I listened to it in the weeks following the CD’s arrival but if I had to guess it would be at least 100 times. Something about it is just upbeat and fun. Plus I can’t help but sing to it (very badly!)

So I hope you guys enjoyed this! I will hopefully be doing some random iTunes mixes sometime in the future!
