Idil's Playlist

Tokio Hotel - Reden
Even if it's in German, I think only 3 words are enough to describe: BEST SONG EVER! Tom Kaulitz (guitarist of the band) has written this song about what did he do with a girl in ''room 483''. While I'm staying in a hotel, I always listen to this song.

Tokio Hotel - Wo Sind Eure Hände?
It means ''Where Are Your Hands?'' in German. Watch this song live - I'm sure, you'll love it! In concerts, when the band starts to play this song, automatically, all the fans put their hands up.

Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone
The most emotional song by Avril. And yeah, I adore it!!

Green Day - American Idiot
Full of action, humoresque..

Tokio Hotel - Monsoon
Oh my, I'm really mad about this song.. Lyrics are killing me off..

Tokio Hotel - Scream
This was the first song I've ever listened by Tokio Hotel. That's why it has a special meaning to me. And I have to say that the intro is very exciting.

Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi
Very nice and enjoyable song.

Raia's Playlist

Ready, Set, Go -- Tokio Hotel
Awesome song about breaking down barriers.,

Monsoon -- Tokio Hotel
The 2007 EMA performance was AMAZING!,

I Kissed a Girl -- Katy Perry
A very addictive, cool, modern song.

Shake It -- Metro Station
Upbeat and cool.

Love is Dead -- Tokio Hotel
Gosh, I love this band and the members! You all need to check them out. And before you ask (because I kow you will), Bill and Tom are identical twin guys (Bill is not a gay tranny like some weirdos think) that are both completely straight. They confirmed it several times.

Hot Summer -- Monrose
I first heard this song when it was playing in a UMV on Tom and Bill Kaulitz's vacation photos.

It's My Life -- Bon Jovi
Love it! I've heard of it since about 2 months ago, but only heard it on the radio 3 days ago and adored it!

Final Day/ Der Letzte Tag: Tokio Hotel
This is such a cool song with a great sound! the lyrics are really pretty cool and can be easily related to ... on a scale of 1 - 100 I give this song 100


Monsoon: Tokio Hotel
This song is AWESOME!!!!! My friend kinda thinks that it's really really depressing, but its not and it's cool. Oh, and if you play any instrument you can search sheet music for it and usually find it (at least I could). Anyways out of a possible 100 I have to give give this song 100. I guess I love it sooo much cause it was the first tokio hotel song I ever heard, anyways its like their classic song


The Phrase That Pays: The Academy Is
Ya, I know that this song is kinda old and all but its AMAZING ... on a scale of 1 - 100 I give it a 94.5


Escape To The Stars: Cinema Bizarre
This band is really not heard of often (and when they are, theyre being compared to tokio hotel cause theyre german 2) ... I think that they have what it takes to be really big someday! Oh, and if u dont like tokio hotel and are afraid that they will sound like them, THEY DON'T. Anyways I give it a 94 out of 100, pretty good for a new band


4ever: The Veronicas
Once again another old song. I think everyone has heard of this song, but its still really cool. The Veronicas are great at creating an upbeat song!! I give this song a 93 out of 100

Another classic veronicas song that you're sure to love. What else do I have to say?? I give this song a 93 out of a possible 100 as well!!

Katy's Playlist

Song 1: Believe Again By Delta Goodrem
I have always been a huge Delta fan and just discovered some of the new tracks from her latest album Delta. This song is so amazing, I love her vocals, and the lyrics are also incredible.

Song 2: I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Ashley Tisdale
I love thi cover that Ashley did for the Degree Girl campaign, I just can't help but dance to it when it comes on on my i-pod.

Song 3: Forever By Chris Brown
I have never really been a huge fan of his stuff but when I heard With You, I really got into his music, and I love this new song, cause it's a lot different to whats out there at the moment, and the video is cool to.

Song 4: Dancing Queen by Abba
Ok might not fit in with the rest of what I listen to but I love Abba's stuff and with Mammi Mia coming out I got out my Abba Gold cd. My favourite alltime abba song is Lay all your love on me, but this one is on the trailer to the film.

Song 5: Take A Bow (Tony Moran and Warren Rigg's Encore Radio Edit) by Rihanna
I love remixes, and I have a hell of a lot of Rihanna remixes. My favourite right now is this remix of Take a Bow, which I think comes off a dance various artist album. Another great Rihanna mix is the Tony Moran mix of Unfaithful and the Seamus Haji and Paul emanual club mix of Umbrella.

Song 6: What I've Become by Ashlee SImpson
Her music isnt really that well known in the UK that much, and I think she a bit unrespected by some, but I love her stuff especially her latest album, it got my highest play count on itunes. This is my favourite song of her new album, but Little Miss Obsessive is also another great song.

Song 7: Boyfriend By Alphabeat
I'm loving this new song, it's fantastic, all of alphabeats stuff has been great but this new song inparticular is fantastic, it really sticks in your head.

5. Ranjha Jogi by Mehsopuria
If someone who didn't know what this song was about listened to it, they may assume it is about a man named Ranjha who put earrings on. However, this song has much more depth than that. It is about a popular, tragic, love story from Punjab in India called Heer Ranjha. Heer Ranjha is about a beautiful woman named Heer and her lover Ranjha, who is the youngest of four brothers. After a fight with his brothers over land, Ranjha leaves home. He arrives in Heer's village and they fall in love. However, when Heer's family finds out, they force her to marry another man. A heartbroken Ranjha leaves and finds a Jogi (ascetic). After meeting the Jogi, Ranjha himself becomes one, piercing his ears and renouncing the material world. As he recites the name of the Lord on his travels around Punjab, Ranjha eventually ends up in the village where Heer lives. The two reunite and Heer's family now agrees to their marriage. However, on the day of their marriage Heer's jealous uncle poisons his niece's food. Ranjha hears this and rushes to stop Heer from eating but he is too late and Heer has died. Once again heartbroken, Ranjha takes the remaining of the poisoned food and dies by her side. Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me that my culture is very special to me.

The Chill Out Seven
By: ChrysXtal

1. Ani Difranco – Lost and Delirious
A calm, relaxing but emotional song. This is a song about losing love, unable to understand or cope but done in a tasteful well thought out manner. You could easily listen and reflect.
Read the Lyrics

2. The Arcade Fire – Cars and Telephones
A simple song about wanting someone who’s far away, further then you could walk, or drive, a song with a story line that makes you think of the ones you love who are out of reach, an old love or past crush. Read the Lyrics

3. BB King – Stand by Me
An oldie which I’m sure some of you know but it’s a classic and makes me feel really happy and relaxed. For some reason it makes me think about driving down a highway at 3am, sitting in the back seat and looking up at the stars. Read the Lyrics

4. Bob Marley – Don’t Worry, Be Happy
You’d have to agree this is the best chill out song ever. You’re having a tough day? Well, don’t worry, be happy. This song always puts me in a relaxed and better mood when I’m bummed out. Read the Lyrics

5. Coldplay – The Scientist
A song dedicated to reflecting on the past, be it good things or upsetting things but in a really peaceful way. I’ve always be the type of person to turn to music when I’m not feeling the best and I love it when songs can say what I can’t put into words and this is a great song for a melancholy mood. Read the Lyrics

6. Crash Test Dummies – Superman Song
I’ve loved this song since I was in 6th grade. It made perfect sense to me at the time. The world is changing and we all wish Superman was a real guy who could save the world from all we do to it. Some say this song is complicated but it’s so simple that people miss the pure simplicity. Read the Lyrics

7. Elton John – Can You Feel the Love Tonight
We’ve all seen The Lion King right? Well, if you haven’t this song was a main theme to the movie. I could listen to this song on repeat for hours before I’d get sick of it. It makes me think of simpler times, a time when you had no worries. Do you remember what it was like when your main concern in life was how late you could get your mom or dad to let you stay up at night? Well this song brings me back to those days. Read the Lyrics
