Never one to rest on our laurels, we are tickled pink to announce the second round of artists for Soundwave 09!

So without further ado... joining the already massive cast will be the powerful live force that is the Dillinger Escape Plan, Florida Metalcore titans Underoath, the sky-high hooks of Forever The Sickest Kids, pop rock balladeers Jack’s Mannequin and the unrelenting rhythms of All That Remains.

As always, there is also plenty to offer the fans of punk, metal and the heavier end of the alternative spectrum, as well as signing tents giving artists the opportunity to meet fans, market stalls and the odd bit of crappy installation art for you to laugh at.

Floating Around in the Heavens of your World

By Shelly O’Brien

I’m floating around,

In the heavens of your world.

Can you see me here?

Pools of green search the sky.

Can you feel my gaze upon your face?

Your lips soft as summer rain.

Look into the light. Look into the light.

Wingless I float before you.

How does one not fall, someone holds them up.

We all dream to feel. (To feel, to feel)  

We all dream to breathe. (To breathe, to breathe)

Breath of life, flames of heart

Strength of hands, will of spirit

Wingless you float before me.

Images of angles dance,

Dance in the heavens of your world.

Let me show you how much I care,

Let me show you how much I care.

The world is weak, you make me strong.

Together we can show this world to care.

Open your eyes, do not fear.   

Dare to dream. (To dream, to dream)

Dare to love. (To love, to love)

Can you see me here?

Can you feel me here?

Can you touch me now?

Dare to love. (To Love, to love)

Wingless I float before you.

How does one not fall, someone holds them up.

We all dream to feel. (To feel, to feel)  

We all dream to breathe. (To breathe, to breathe)

Breath of life, flames of heart

Strength of hands, will of spirit

Wingless you float before me.

I’m floating around,

In the heavens of your world.

Can you see me here? (Let me show you how much I care)

How does one not fall?

Can you feel me now? (Let me show you how much I care)

Look into the light (Wingless we float)  

Look into the light, Look into the light.

No order to songs!

The challenge: List 12 songs that cheer you up and why.

The rules: Tag 10 people...then those people should tag 10 more after that.

1) Come on and Dance – Mötley Crüe It’s just such an upbeat song... and well just read the title and it will make you want to come and dance... Plus the guitar its amazing stuff!

Damn Right she’s Hot!!!!! Come on and dance!!!!!

2) You Know What They Do Guys Like Us in Prison – My Chemical Romance Omg what can I say love this song so much... makes me get up and scream dance jump and I sadly even have some dance moves for it !

They make me do push ups in drag !!!

3) With Me – Sum 41 This song is very special to me... I hold it close to my heart as it refers to something special in my life. I love you my dear friend. 

I don’t want this moment to ever end where everything is nothing with out you... I wait here forever just to see your smile.

4) Africa – Funeral For A Friend This song reminds me of how lucky we are... It makes me feel whole and reminds us that we are never truly alone.

With no food for a hundred miles or more... to take her back to familiar shores... There is no shame in wanting what others call a home one day you will wake up and know you’re not alone.

5) Dance the Night Away – Ruin Gloria Cus it’s upbeat and makes you smile even when you’re sad... Just get up and dance.  

We all dance the night away with loved ones in our arms and we yeah we we sing sing sing.

6) Falling Down – Atreyu Not entirely sure why this song cheers me up... I think its cus I love signing it.... Plus the drums are like POW !!!!!!!!

You’re looking over your shoulder staring down the path I’m falling down falling down falling down It’s in your head all the voices mistaken shake it off shake it off we're all dying in the end !!!!!!

7) Mommy Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight (Live) – The Misfits Just got to love that punk sound... ruff and gruff... Plus I think it is funny as hell!

Mommy can I go out and kill tonight???

8) Welcome to Wherever You Are – Bon Jovi It’s just a beautiful uplifting song its inspirational listen to it when sad or depressed.....

I know it’s sometimes hard to see, you come between who you are and who you want to be if you feel alone and lost and you need a friend remember that every new beginning is some beginnings end.

9) Make Your Move – Avalon Drive Great song to dance and sing to... Has a nice flow to it makes me feel alive.

Pick out the soundtrack to your life I’m trying to tell you, you can’t hide so scream out the shattered words to your life. I guess now you make your move these walls are now closing breathings hard with you and if your life was your last goodbye I’ll see you on the other side.

10) Surrender – Billy Talent Love the entire song reminds us not to forget to open our eyes... someone who cares about us may be closer than we think.

She needs support and I become the crutch she’ll never know how much she means to me... I’d play the game but I’m the referee... surrender every word every thought every sound surrender every touch every smile every frown.

11) Noise and Kisses – The Used Love to dance to this one... Just the whole melody and rhythm it’s great.... plus follow Bert and scream for a bit good to get rid of stress! lol

Share with me cus I mean it right now let me see you insides write me off cus I would rather stop now if you won’t open up.  

12) Emergency – Paramore How could you not want to dance to this song??? Its just incredible Haley got it spot on with this one!

I can’t pretend that I don’t see this it’s really not your fault that no one cares to talk about it talk about it and I’ve seen love die way too many times when it deserved to be alive I had seen you cry too many times when you deserved to be alive.

Have fun my buzznet buddies...

Oh also please join my Funeral For A Friend group... ( Funeral For A Friend - 4 Ways 2 Scream Your Name)

Much love

xXx Shelly xXx

Just letting you all know that I’ll be away for about a week.... and that No I haven’t been abducted by some alien life form... Much to your disappointment.

Just gone for a little while up to the central coast to see some family and have Christmas with them before I’m back again home.

So don’t miss me too much and don’t wonder why I haven’t been around to see how you all are...

Much Love

xXx Shelly xXx.... Aka Shellikins... also Shelly Jelly (Hmmm)
