Everyday there is a song that goes with us wherever we go, or a song that would fit perfectly in any given situation of our life, or a song that you just haven't heard yet, but you are eager to discover...
Whatever the case may be, this will be a space dedicated to show anyone who runs into this blog, the song that was stuck in my head any given day, the song I would listen to if..., or just to give a simple recommendation of what I think is a worth-listening song...
Artist: Pearl Jam Song: Better Man Album: Vitalogy Year: 1994
"Waiting, watching the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop, tell him, take no more, she practices her speech as he opens the door, she rolls over, pretends to sleep as he looks her over..."
"She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man, she dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man..."
*A HINT: Bad relationships, ladies? Well, make haste and get rid of the fucker...
Artist: Underworld Song: Born Slippy .NUXX Album: Born Slippy .NUXX Single Year: 1996
"Drive boy, dog boy, dirty numb angel boy, in the doorway boy, she was a lipstick boy, she was a beautiful boy and tears boy and all in your inner-space boy, you had chemicals boy and steel boy , I've grown so close to you boy and you just groan boy, she said come over, come over, she smiled at you boy..."
*A QUICK ONE: Yesterday while I was watching the Olympics Opening Ceremony, I received a pleasant surprise when a piece of this song was played, I was instantly taken back to the 90's, and although you could say I was very young, I wasn't even 10, when this was released I remember it just perfectly...
"And I say, we so down but it's now or never baby, we don't mind if this don't last forever, see the light
but it won't last forever, seize the time 'cause it's now or never baby..."
"Let's leave at sunrise, let's live by the ocean, I don't mind if we never come home at all..."
*A COMMENT: Lately I've been thinking about life and where it is taking me (where I'm allowing it to take me) and to be honest I'm not liking it. I'm stuck in this this inaction point, where I know what I want to do, but I don't know how to, and it worries me, because I'm certain that the decision I take now, it will somehow shape the rest of my life. This is a key moment, I mean, I want to follow this dream I have, but there is this push
I need,
even if it is just moral support from the ones I care, that would be a start, but it also saddens me to say that money has a lot to do with it... So, basically I'm stuck in this vicious cycle where I'm watching life passing me by... FFFFFFUUUUU... I'll try to keep calm and think positive.
"Where you're going has no signs and you're not going in a straight line, you ought to have me on your mind, I dare you to think otherwise..."
"Eyes on the prize, reboot the mission, I've lost the sight, but not the vision, eyes on the prize, reboot the mission, I lost the sight, but not the vision..."
*A COMMENT: After 7 years 'The Wallflowers' are back, and in this song using the help from Mick Jones, from 'The Clash'. I have got to say this sounds interesting, different from previous work, a bit dancey. And you can totally notice Jones' influence here, bringing that 'London Calling' pace. I may say that when I heard the song 'Hard-Fi' came to my mind, and Jones has collaborated with those guys too. This album is set for release on October 2nd. Enjoy.
"A poor guy that man John Thomas, his woman truly was a devil, she wasn't all that honest, she tore him down on every level..."
"You're a two faced, ruthless instigator, you're a low jack, shapely masquerader, you're a, a cold bitch, controlling conservator..."
*A COMMENT: This is not even my business, but it troubles me somehow. See, there is this, let's call her "lady", to keep decency, but she deserves to be called much much worse, anyhow, she has been doing some nasty shit to her boyfriend and to her "friends". The thing that really bugs me is that she gets away with it and that the affected ones put up with her shit. I'm really tempted to do something about it, but a
s I mentioned is not even my problem and that's what is stopping me, but hey! Give someone enough rope and they will hang themselves...
Artist: Kate Bush Song: Wuthering Heights Album: The Kick Inside Year: 1978
"How could you leave me when I needed to possess you? I hated you, I loved you too..."
"Bad dreams in the night, they told me I was going to lose the fight, leave behind my wuthering, wuthering, wuthering heights..."
*A QUICK COMMENT: How could I define Kate Bush? For that I'll have to refer to first time I heard this song, when she started singing I was like 'what the hell', but 10 seconds later my reaction changed to 'WOW! This'. I don't know, I guess I could say she's "weird" and so charming at the same time, she must be such an interesting woman.
Artist: The Verve Pipe Song: The Freshmen Album: Villains
Year: 1996
"Can't be held responsible, she was touching her face, I won't be held responsible, she fell in love in the first place..."
"For the life of me, I can not remember what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise, for the life of me, I can not believe we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen..."
*A QUICKIE: Why don't we all go back to the 90's? Yep, let's all do that... :')
"There was a time when I could only impress you, you could tell by now I'm only guessing, you're saying the clocks run down, and the red light's glowing, if your mind's made up, then I'll get going, turn all the lights down low..."
*A COMMENT: I cannot get enough of this band, I've been listening to their 2 albums like there was no tomorrow... The physical copies are items of great value to me, first because they are great and second because I assume they are CD's you cannot easily find at any CD store, but that is just my assumption and I used Amazon. Here is this song which finds its climax at 1:45... and it is, Oh so awesome...
"Know my only goal is to see when I'm only fast asleep, it takes more than strength to find this peace of mind..."
"He sleeps alone, he needs no army where he's headed, 'cause he knows that they're just ghosts and they can't hurt him if he can't see them..."
*A COMMENT: They are back, tell a friend and both buy this record! I have such high expectations of this album, really high ones... 'Tourist History' was such a great one... I just hope this sophomore delivers as much as their debut. This should be out on September 3rd (UK) and a day later in the US... In the meantime here is this song, a bit slow, not that much, but it's OK, as long as there are songs with the catchiest guitar riffs, if possible I would like songs I can listen while running...
Artist: The Maccabees Song: Feel To Follow Album: Given to the Wild Year: 2012
"How was I to ever believe it, it’s never too late until it’s too late and I’ll be stranded, I’ll need something... Now I can see it I can feel it, I believe it, ever since I can remember it’s been as nothing..."
*A QUICKIE: Awesome song, you just have to listen to it to notice that 'uplifting depression' mood... Like a remembrance of this certain yearning we all have...
"Murder murder, you haunt every bone but the son you have grown still resists, anger anger, you're finally my bitch, through glory of this, Heaven's breath..."
"Paradise, has its hunter, call me blind, call me fool, I don't mind chasing thunder, I say reaching for Heaven is what I'm on Earth to do..."
*A QUICKIE: If you want, leave aside beliefs and stuff, just like I would like to do on this occasion ... I'm loving the hook of the chorus, it is soothing as hell. Oh, irony.
Artist: The xx Song: Angels Album: Coexist Year: 2012
"Light reflects from your shadow, it is more than I thought could exist, you move through the room like breathing was easy, if someone believed me..."
*A COMMENT: So... These guys are back, and somehow, the simplicity of their music amazes me, as simple as it might sound it still manages to have this, I don't know how to describe it, let's say "atmospheric depth" that wraps you up and that was that. By the way this comes out on September 10th in the UK and September 11th in the US.
Artist: Air Traffic Song: I Can't Understand Album: Fractured Life Year: 2007
"So come on down and let it out, walk me through the corridors of fear, it's not a dream without a doubt, you try so hard to shut the feelings out..."
"I lie awake and watch the stars, a cry so far from where we are, and in the haze of shattered light I break from the chains and drift into the night..."
*A COMMENT: When it dawns on you, it will sure hit hard. There might be some selfish perspectives to it, there will always be those, but in the grand scheme of things the truth will always arise and it will hammer with all its wrath, and right after its first blow you will be thinking 'what the fuck just happened' and while you are mulling that over, it will continue bothering you, reminding you that it is there, like the drops from a leak, one by one, making sure they are there and that they are not leaving, that they are patient as can be and that they will drill whatever they are hitting on, slowly but certain, and so on...
Artist: New Found Glory Song: All Down Hill From Here Album: Catalyst Year: 2004
"And I can tell you’re going through the motions, I figured you were acting out your part , once again, we’re playing off emotion, which one of us will burn until the end?"
*A QUICKIE: I must admit I didn't know what song to post today, so this is kind of a filler, and at the same time is not...
Artist: Stardust Song: Music Sounds Better With You Album: Music Sounds Better With You (Single) Year: 1998
"Oh baby, I feel right, the music sounds better with you, love might bring us back together, I feel so good..."
*A QUESTION: Do you remember this song? Almost 14 years have passed and it is not getting old... Good times and good memories indeed... This was a one-time only project, but it would be interesting if they reunited to see what could happen.
"You know it ain't easy for these thoughts here to leave me, there's no words to describe it, in French or in English, 'cause diamonds they fade and flowers they bloom and I'm telling you... These feelings won't go away, they've been knocking me sideways..."
*A QUICKIE: This is yesterday's mood and today's trail of it... Perhaps the fact that today is Thursday disguises it a bit, but it is surely there... U.U
Artist: Band of Horses
