Green Light and Good Riddance!!

by John Chan 

John Legend - Green Light ft. André 3000

When you first think of John Legend, you think of the song “All of Me”.

In comparison this song steps away from his emotionally stirring love songs and shows his versatility as an artist, with an infectious beat and super catchy chorus.This song, in ways is both similar and different from his usual body of work.Creating a smooth POP/R&B vibe that is sure to get you ready for you Saturday.Especially if you are planning to have a little fun with someone tonight ;).

You got you one legend
Sometimes you gotta step from behind the piano
And let em know what's going on
Even stevie wonder got down sometimes
I'm ready to go

Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now

Beyoncé - Green Light

The queen of POP/R&B never fails to deliver. Beyoncé manages to always produce catchy songs and this is perfect example of that. The beat is addictive with a funky vibe. With the music video showing a whole lot of  skin and sex appeal.  The mention of green here, similar to the previous song by John Legend, is very sexual in nature. Regardless of the songs underlying meaning the upbeat-tempo and funky groove is sure to get you in a happier mood and have you moving and shaking about.

So if you want to (uh uh huh uh uh)
You got the green light (uh uh huh uh uh)

I'm immune, you can't get colder
You got the green light (whoa)
You're the king, right? (whoa)
You holding up traffic
Green means go!!

Green Day- Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)

Green Day is perhaps the most famous punk rock band of the 2000s and arguably of all time.  With 5 Grammy Awards and 7 of their albums reaching platinum/double platinum status the band continues to cement themselves in rock history.  The band has sold over 75 million records worldwide and still continues to generate hits.

Good Riddance is one of their most famous works. The song is a surprising change, as an acoustic song that completely differs from their usual loud, quick tempo, punk rock style.  The smooth sentiment mental feel will undoubtedly cause you to heavily reflect on your memories, some good and some bad, inevitably having you surrender your feelings to the song. Perfect for those Saturday nights where you just want to lie in bed and reflect how far you have come.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos and memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.
