Songs To Share

[Angel_Eyes]

Right now my favorite song is Feel Good Inc. by the Gorillaz. :) I know it's new and most people have probably heard it already, but I love it. I'm thinking of getting their new album soon, along with their first one. Do any of you have their first album?

[bluediamond]

Hey Andrea......... :bananarock: lol

I know its an oldie song but 'sweet harmony' by The Beloved

It reminds me of the 80's when things were a little different in the world. I can remember getting home from a busy day at work and watching some tv, then, after my ex wife had gone to bed i used to put the cd player on. Grab some headphones and put stuff like the above on..... usually drifting away to some deserted island in the sun and just generally feeling good.

I find listening to music is the best drug, one minute you can be feeling a little down, the next your flying above the world with not a care.

Im definatly at my best when im listening to music, the only problem is when you have to switch it off and get back into reality.

Has anyone else done what ive done and had the headphones on full blast, only to reach over for a cup of tea and pull out the socket at 3AM! lol.

:dunno: what does certain music mean to you?, lets open up this thread and ask also, what song and why makes you: smile.

[Eibhlin]

ya dave, i know what you mean. lol, i have to get my girls interested in my music before i can enjoy it at home though, otherwise it's "mommy, can we listen to something else? can we watch kuzko?" or various other things. but they usually like what i listen to (around them), right now we are on a phantom of the opera kick, they looooove it, which makes it nice for me. usually i find music is a good anger therapy for me, there is nothing better when i am totaly stressed than to get in the car and blast Godsmack (since there are like only 2 songs of theirs with no cursing i dont listen to it around the girls) and sing along with it. i also really like Loreena McKennit, Marrakesh Market Nigth is really great, the sound of all the hand drums is just awesome.

ya know it occurs to me once again the wierdness of listening to Godsmack considering my signature, and they very much not christian....

yes i know i am confusing

[bluediamond]

My favourite at the moment is:

James Blunt 'tears and rain'
James Blunt 'high'

Two great songs from a great album, dont know too much about him so im off to find out some more stuff.

take care
Dave

ps, feeling a little strange today, just thinking about things.
:dunno:

[Veilingmeat]

Ok then here we go...my other fav type of music is not anything Jewel does or anyone else like her for that matter.
Im a Hardcore Norwegian black metal fan,goth enthusiast,doom metal,folk,ambient,trance dance type fan :devil1: 'but' i like many other forms/variants of music(cant name them all!!!)BUT...DEFINATLY NOT todays top of the pops trollop or Nu-metal sha-woddy-woddy rubbish either... :P


Darkthrone - Det Svartner N?
1349 - Chaos Within
Burzum - Det Som Engang Var
Dimmu Borgir - Sorgens Kammer
Virgin Black - Velvet Tongue
My Dying Bride - A Doomed Lover

...the first four are just 'some' of the top dark Norse bands to date,very obscure bands indeed,the Norwegian music scene is at the moment vibrant with all sorts of wonderful kinds of styles,very good with there folk and pagan history etc
In my household theres the best of both...wether it be the beautiful angelic voice and soothing sounds and intricate harmonies of Jewel or Dido...
or the Darkest blood curdling screams of satanic wrath in the essence of fast paced black metal...lmao!!! (you'll soon discover im a very strange person) :blink:

[Eibhlin]

dave, here is a corny song to cheer you up...makes me think of when i used to wait for the bus on my way to work

Waiting for the Bus

We got the mother and the kids
we got the guy and his date
we all get mad
we all get late
looks like somebody forgot about us
standin on the corner
waitin' for a bus
say hey mister driver man
don't be slow
cause I got somewhere I got to go
say hey mister driver man
drive that thing fast
my precious time keep slippin' past
lets call the mayor lets complain
looks like the city's done to us again
tied up in traffic what'ya know
the damn city bus moves so slow
I said hey mister driver man
don't be slow
cause I got somewhere I got to go
say hey mister driver man
drive that thing fast
my precious time keep slippin' past

I'm into metal myself but not quite as hardcore as what you like.

Raamstein - Sonne

Aye i hear what yer sayin...alot of my freinds are into that band,and Wumpscut and Lacrimosa also,all German industrialised/goth/metal :P and in fairness there all fairly alike each other...Cult of Luna is another,all of these i think anyone who likes a lil bit of metal/rock in there lives 'should' be able to deal with these types of bands,coz they are classed in "extreme" genre and you would'nt even think so if you heard them :D

ps:(Once i get started on music subjects especially anything rock/metal i'll go on forever and rant a load of redneck jibber speech about how great it is...everytime...i cant help it!) :gve:

[bluediamond]

A fairly new artist im listening to at the moment is:

KT Tunstall :P mmmm :lstory:


KT Tunstall most famous for 'The other side of the world' her albums called 'Eye to the telescope' - its nice :lalala:


Dave.

[bluediamond]

Further to my post on 'songs to share' id like to bring up James Blunt and his song from the album called 'Back to Bedlam'

Well, thing is, theres a few songs that just make me smile, they at the same time mean so much to me. Take for instance 'who will save your soul' - its as if Jewel knew about my life before stuff happened.

Its a bit like the James Blunt song 'Tears & Rain' - ive even taken to reading again lol, ive even gone really deep into my soul and REALLY REALLY found some answers.

Anyway, before i bore you all anymore take a listen to this song, and if you cant, just read the lyrics, its just beautiful. A true meaning of a song isnt just in the voice, its a peice of art. "vision is the art of seeing things invisible" - Johnathan Swift.


"Tears And Rain"

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.



"When the doors of perception are finally cleansed we will all see things as they truly are" :mecry:

[Eibhlin]

well, this song and artist aren't new to me, but it may be new to someone else...to be honest i really don't keep up with many or any new artists, i tend to stick to my old favorites more often than not. so here is one from Mark Heard:
Look Over Your Shoulder

Look over your shoulder and tell me what's coming
Tell me, what is the bogey that you're so afraid of?
The eyes in the back of our heads can persuade
That just for the moment mercy has swayed
Look over your shoulder and tell me what's coming

Look into your sad eyes and tell me what you see
What is left of the child who is hiding behind them?
Who longs to be laughing in places of light
Who knows that the morning will follow the night?
Look into your sad eyes and tell me what you see

If you must be afraid be afraid of yourself
For being afraid of the fear you have felt
You will weather well in a climate of love

It takes more than your passion and more than your pain
For the rock of forgiveness to melt in the rain

Look over your shoulder and tell me what's coming
Look into your sad eyes and tell me what you see
Look over your shoulder and tell me what's coming

Written by Mark Heard ? 1991 Ideola Music/ASCAP

[Veilingmeat]

hmmmm..had me reading those lyrics a couple of times actually! a song of love and fate maybe!? interesting....

On another note,anyone heard of a band called 'Godspeed You Black Emperor'?
now this is not rock or metal in the slightest,its more alternitive indie id say...and if you've seen the film "28 Days Later" its the begining song on the film just before he discovers the infected ones within the church. The song i share with you today is "East Hastings" by 'Godspeed You Black Emperor' check it out funkie junkies!!!
