Ry Cuming "Always Remember Me" | Private Practice 4x17 "A Step Too Far"

Hearing Always Remember Me, which features Sara Bareilles, during the end of this week's Private Practice was a good feeling. It was one of those "I've heard this!" moments, and I had to google the lyrics before I remembered where I had heard it before.

I had first heard it before getting ready for my school's big fall concert because there was this one artist, named Ry Cuming, who was going to perform and I wanted to get to know him and his music a little bit more. His style of music is definitely my preferred listening genre. But sadly, he ended up not performing at that concert, which kind of upset me because I was really looking forward to seeing him perform.

Ry Cuming grew up in Australia, and was discovered in Costa Rica by a film producer from Los Angeles.He's won Best Pop Song and Best New Artist at Australia's Dolphin Awards.

He currently only has his self-titled debut album out now. You can purchase it on iTunes or through his official site.

Home was featured in One Tree Hill and Some Kind of Love was featured in So You Think You Can Dance Auditions in season 7.

Hey Monday "Candles" | Glee 2x16 "Original Songs"

Not many shows for me this week, so I'm going to talk about another song from Glee this week.

It was Regionals for the Glee kids. And one of the competitors, the Dalton Academy Warblers, performed the song Candles from "Hey Monday."

Glee Version | Hey Monday (New) Version
 
From Palm Beach, FL, this four-member band has been playing since 2008 with their first single Homecoming.They currently only have one album out titled "Hold On Tight." Homecoming, How You Love Me Now, and Run, Don't Walk were featured on The Hills. I Don't Want to Dance was featured in Hellcats.

Candles was on their "Hold On Tight" album, but recently they've re-done the track and came out with an EP for it in February. You can hear the old version here.

Neon Trees "Animal" | Glee 2x15 "Sexy"

Not that many new shows this week, and the ones that were new didn't have any music sadly. So this week's entry is going to focus on one of the songs that Glee preformed this week.

I was supposed to see them in concert when they were scheduled to open up for 30 Seconds to Mars, but because Mars had to push the dates back, Neon Trees was unable to perform at the concert I attended. 

Animal was performed by the characters Blaine Anderson and Kurt Hummel and the Dalton Warblers on the episode of Glee titled "Sexy." The thing about their version is the all-men group sings their songs acapella with only a drum backup.

Compare:
Glee vs. Neon Trees (Music Video)

The Submarines "Plans" | Grey's Anatomy 7x16 "Not Responsible"

This is a new artist for me this week, but turns out I have in fact heard of this group! So I'm learning someone new this week as well!

The Submarines' new single Plans was featured in this week's new episode of Grey's Anatomy, when the character April Kepner wanted to discuss the fact that a fellow doctor asked her out to her friend/coworker/roommate Lexie Grey. The song is from their new, upcoming album titled Love Notes/Letter Bombs. 

 Some of their other music has also been featured on One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, and Vampire Diaries.

The one song that I am familiar with, and didn't realize it was them until researching them just now, is their song Submarine Symphonika, which was featured in the iPhone3G and iPhone3GS commercials last year. 


Other songs:

Brightest Hour
Hope
The Wake Up Song


This is the kind of music that I used to love listening to. I miss it, and it used to put me in such a good mood. I must get back into listening to stuff like The Submarines

Ryan Star "Losing Your Memory" | The Vampire Diaries 2x13 "Daddy Issues"

As I was watching all new TV episodes last night, I was trying to find a new song/artist to feature. But there were a lot of really good songs featured in pretty much all 4 shows that I watched last night. So I’m going with another one from last night’s The Vampire Diaries episode “Daddy Issues.” Ryan Star’s Losing Your Memory was featured during the closing scenes of the episode when Stefan brought Elena and Bonnie over to Caroline's to comfort her after the difficult day that she went though and Damon was confessing to his new victim.

Ryan Star is still getting known. He is about like Matt Nathanson, he has a fan base but there are not many people who are aware of him. I’ve wanted to hear some more of his music because the first time I even heard of him was from the P.S. I Love You soundtrack with his song Last Train Home.

Born and raised in Long Island, New York was exposed to music at a very young age. He was the lead singer in the band he was in back in high school called Stage. During his college years, Madonna signed the band onto Maverick Records. He eventually decided to break out on his own. 

His first album was released in 2005, titled Songs from the Eye of the Elephant. Since then he has released three more albums, the most recent released in August of 2010. 

Ryan’s music has been played in a few other shows, like Lie to Me's theme song, and So You Think You Can Dance.

Breathe featured on So You Think You Can Dance
