There are many bands who refuse to do an acoustic session like Linkin Park mostly because they want to make their sound consistent. It’s really more about imaging and packaging than anything else.

But there are some who don’t mind like the bands listed below and from what I hear, it isn’t a bad idea. Just because you scream and make scary sounds for living doesn’t mean you can’t go slow and and still rock it.

Have fun.

10. Bruised

Band:

Jack’s Mannequin

Lyrics:

I’ve got my things, I’m good to go
You met me at the terminal
Just one more plane ride and it’s done

We stood like statues at the gate
Vacation’s come and gone too late
There’s so much sun where I’m from
I had to give it away, had to give you away

And we spent four days on an
Island at your family’s old hotel
Sometimes perfection can be
It can be perfect hell, perfect…

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn’t mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don’t fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised

I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle
I take my pills, the babies cry
All I hear is what’s playing through
The in-flight radio
Now every word of every song
I ever heard that made me wanna stay
Is what’s playing through
The in-flight radio, and I
And I am, finally waking up

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn’t mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
Don’t fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised, yeah

So read your books, but stay out late
Some nights, some nights, and don’t think
That you can’t stop by the bar
You haven’t shown your face here since the bad news
Well I’m here till close, with fingers crossed
Each night cause your place isn’t far

And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah…

Yeah, yeah, she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn’t mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don’t fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised, bruised, bruised

9. Baby Come On

Band:

+ 44

Lyrics:

She’s a pretty girl
She’s always falling down
And I think I just fell in love with her
But she won’t ever remember, remember

And I can always find her
At the bottom of a plastic cup
Drowning in drunk sincerity
A sad and lonely girl

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out, and baby come on
Isn’t there something familiar about me?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out, baby

And she said, “I think we’re running out of alcohol
Tonight I hate this fucking town
And all my best friends will be the death of me
But they won’t ever remember, remember

So please take me far away

Before I melt into the ground
And all my words get used against me
You sad and lonely girl

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out, and baby come on
Isn’t there something familiar about me?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out, baby

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out, and baby come on
Isn’t there something familiar about me?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out
Isn’t there something familiar about me?
Quit crying your eyes out
The past is only the future with the lights on
So quit crying your eyes out, baby

8. Sun

Band:

Daphne Loves Derby

Lyrics:

I’m desperate to know how you are
I’ll be deep asleep
I’ve been awake for days
I’m tryin’ to study
Every inch of your body
In this picture
From a distant day
When I could safely say
Nothing in this world
Could tear me down in any way
But like a dream
You dissapeared
Without a sound
Without a trace

Sleep well, darlin’
Where ever you are
I hope that you’re happy tonight
And maybe you found someone to have you right

Sleep well, darlin’
I’m desperate to say
Now I need you more than ever
But all I can say was goodnight

This is for a girl back home
She tore down all my walls
Left me for all she’d known
But I pushed it all away from me
And I don’t know
Even if i knew
Even if i knew what to say to you
It’s just to late to make you stay
I’m sick of fighting
This broken fate

If someone else gets to tell you
That you’re beautiful

Sleep well, darlin’
Where ever you are
I hope that you’re happy tonight
And maybe you found someone to have you right

Sleep well, darlin’
I’m desperate to say
Now I need you more than ever
But all I can say was goodnight

It’s the last thing I want
But it’s all that I’ve got
It’s the last thing that I need
But it’s to carry you in my heart

It’s the last thing I want
But it’s all that I’ve got
It’s the last thing that I need
But it’s to carry you in my heart
In my heart

Sleep well, darlin’
Where ever you are
I hope that you’re happy tonight
And maybe you found someone to have you right

Sleep well, darlin’
I’m desperate to say
Now I need you more than ever
But all I can say was goodnight

7. Apology

Band:

Alesana

Lyrics:

Sweat drips in my eyes
screams of lust we cry
tonight you are everything
you’re everything…
you’re everything to me no more
as I wake from this perfect dream
I’ll escape from Eden’s walls
can I not stay and live this lie?
go away and I’ll think only of myself

And to think that you would not be scared
or surprised if I’d severed all these ties
this is the end…

I’ll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you

I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions…
would this be the same?
broken pieces will not mend to save our past now…go away…

I’ll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology
help me get over you

Now we must let go
urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again

I’ll lose myself in anguish for tonight help me get over you
one last false apology help me get over you
In my mind blood drips from your eyes a beautiful last goodbye

6. Jasey Rae

Band:

All Time Low

Lyrics:
Lights out,
I still hear the rain,
These images that fill my head,
Now keep my fingers from making mistakes,
Tell my voice what it takes,
To speak up,
Speak up,
and keep my conscience clean when I wake.

Don’t make this easy,
I want you to mean it,
Jasey. (say you’ll mean it)
You’re dressed to kill,
I’m calling you out, (don’t waste your time on me)

Now there’s an aching in my back;
a stabbing pain that says I lack,
the common sense and confidence,
to bring an end to promises,
that I make in times of desperate conversation,
hoping my night could be better than theirs in the end.
Just say when.

Don’t make this easy,
I want you to mean it,
Jasey. (say you’ll mean it)
You’re dressed to kill,
I’m calling you out, (don’t waste your time on me)

I’ve never told a lie,
and that makes me a liar,
I’ve never made a bet,
but we gamble with desire,
I’ve never lit a match,
with intent to start a fire,
but recently the flames,
are getting out of control.
Call me a name,
Kill me with words,
Forget about me,
It’s what I deserve,
I was your chance,
to get out of this town,
but I ditched the car,
and left you to,

Wait outside,
I hope the air will serve to remind you,
that my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath,
and my words are as timed as the beating in my chest.
