      <title>Music Log - My Top Songs of 2019</title>
      <link>https://journal.dinobansigan.com/music-log-my-top-songs-of-2019?pk_campaign=rss-feed</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[For my last music log for the year 2019, I&#39;m sharing my top 3 songs as reported by Spotify.&#xA;&#xA;The first song is &#34;Throne&#34; by Bring Me The Horizon. Apparently this rock band has been making music for awhile now, but it wasn&#39;t until their 2015 album &#34;That&#39;s The Spirit&#34; that I really started to take notice. This track is probably my favorite Bring Me The Horizon song, so I&#39;m not surprised it is at the top of the list. However, there is another reason why this ended up being my top song for 2019. &#xA;&#xA;Early this year, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown came out and I was hooked on that game for months. During that time, I seriously thought about making an Ace Combat 7 music video using this song. I thought that the lyrics in this song, fits really well with some of the narrative in the game. So I kept listening to this song, constructing the scenes in my mind. Eventually I decided not to go through with it due to copyright issues, but I guess I listened to the song too much that it is now my top song for 2019.&#xA;&#xA;iframe src=&#34;https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/5tYqrn7cItYhDGDLHt8XuH&#34; width=&#34;300&#34; height=&#34;380&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; allowtransparency=&#34;true&#34; allow=&#34;encrypted-media&#34;/iframe&#xA;&#xA;!--more--&#xA;hr /&#xA;&#xA;This next track is &#34;3 AM&#34; by the rock band Chiodos. I have never heard of Chiodos before, until one day I heard this song playing on my brothers PC. This is a really good song with some lessons to teach about regret and taking things for granted. In other words, don&#39;t make the same mistake that the guy in this song made. If you think you&#39;ve found the one for you, don&#39;t let them slip away.&#xA;&#xA;  I wish I would&#39;ve loved you instead of being selfish,&#xA;And being so obsessed in my dreams.&#xA;Oh, look at me! I&#39;m surrounded by the lonely.&#xA;I thought that I could win you back because I&#39;ve always had it.&#xA;... but love is a tricky thing.&#xA;It&#39;s what they never taught, that when you lose what you love,&#xA;You lose a piece of your heart.&#xA;&#xA;  All I wanted was the world.&#xA;All you wanted was me.&#xA;&#xA;  It&#39;s only in the end when you were gone,&#xA;I didn&#39;t realize what I had lost.&#xA;These one night stands are meaningless...&#xA;But I&#39;m lying in bed, with a girl I just met,&#xA;At 3am.&#xA;&#xA;iframe src=&#34;https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1S8cT0r8G3q7xQBDX1DBwl&#34; width=&#34;300&#34; height=&#34;380&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; allowtransparency=&#34;true&#34; allow=&#34;encrypted-media&#34;/iframe&#xA;&#xA;hr /&#xA;&#xA;My last song for today is &#34;Lighthouse&#34; by Word Alive. I honestly didn&#39;t expect this song to be my 3rd top song for 2019, however this is still a pretty good anthemic rock song that is just a pleasure to listen to. &#xA;&#xA;iframe src=&#34;https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/0cICRgMJaTogLQPGbwifSC&#34; width=&#34;300&#34; height=&#34;380&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; allowtransparency=&#34;true&#34; allow=&#34;encrypted-media&#34;/iframe&#xA;&#xA;hr/&#xA;So that&#39;s it for music logs for 2019.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For my last music log for the year 2019, I&#39;m sharing my top 3 songs as reported by Spotify.</p>

<p>The first song is <em>“Throne”</em> by Bring Me The Horizon. Apparently this rock band has been making music for awhile now, but it wasn&#39;t until their 2015 album <em>“That&#39;s The Spirit”</em> that I really started to take notice. This track is probably my favorite Bring Me The Horizon song, so I&#39;m not surprised it is at the top of the list. However, there is another reason why this ended up being my top song for 2019.</p>

<p>Early this year, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Combat_7:_Skies_Unknown">Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown</a> came out and I was hooked on that game for months. During that time, I seriously thought about making an Ace Combat 7 music video using this song. I thought that the lyrics in this song, fits really well with some of the narrative in the game.

<p>This next track is <em>“3 AM”</em> by the rock band Chiodos. I have never heard of Chiodos before, until one day I heard this song playing on my brothers PC. This is a really good song with some lessons to teach about regret and taking things for granted. In other words, don&#39;t make the same mistake that the guy in this song made. If you think you&#39;ve found the one for you, don&#39;t let them slip away.</p>

<blockquote><p>I wish I would&#39;ve loved you instead of being selfish,
And being so obsessed in my dreams.
Oh, look at me! I&#39;m surrounded by the lonely.
I thought that I could win you back because I&#39;ve always had it.
... but love is a tricky thing.
It&#39;s what they never taught, that when you lose what you love,
You lose a piece of your heart.</p>

<p>All I wanted was the world.
All you wanted was me.</p>

<p>It&#39;s only in the end when you were gone,
I didn&#39;t realize what I had lost.
These one night stands are meaningless...
But I&#39;m lying in bed, with a girl I just met,
At 3am.</p></blockquote>

<p>My last song for today is <em>“Lighthouse”</em> by Word Alive. I honestly didn&#39;t expect this song to be my 3rd top song for 2019, however this is still a pretty good anthemic rock song that is just a pleasure to listen to.</p>

<p>So that&#39;s it for music logs for 2019. I hope next year brings more awesome music to listen to. Happy New Year everyone!</p>
