the most lovely music I've ever listen to.





"did you ask yourself why ?

mayby because its wise , scary and romantic

at the same time..mayby because its the life itself..

interesting though you only post it on youtube..

Giorgio please never die.."


"I can't help crying when I listen it . It's an explosion of emotion and feelings"


"This theme reminds me of a VERY BEAUTIFUL Girl...My Twin Flame"

"down and dark and delicious.. inspires me to want to go THERE.."

"Reminds me of a little flat above a flower shop about 20 years ago."

hall of shame #1

Weekly edition of songs I love that are pretty much terrible.

we are so cool

The other day I was at work and Detroit Rock City by KISS came on my Ipod. I realized how ridiculous the intro to that song is - it starts with the sounds of somebody starting up a car and hearing I Wanna Rock and Roll all night being played on the radio. Then the actual song starts, which is all about hearing your favorite song on your way to a show and it totally making your night. This is a concept that I can SERIOUSLY get behind, but the fact that they are referring to another song of theirs as the song that is going to make your night, as opposed to the current one you are listening to - anyway, it gets confusing. This really got me thinking about bands with songs that are all about themselves, or referencing their old hits. It feels like when a band comes to a point where they are big enough to reference their own personas, it must all be downhill from there. Of course one of the prime examples I can think of is TONIGHT by New Kids On The Block, and I suppose they were never considered cool in the first place. The first verse of that song reads:
"Remember when we said, girl, please don't go,
and how I'd be loving you forever,
taught you 'bout hangin' tough as long as you got the right stuff,
didn't we, girls, ooh, didn't we, girls, aah?"

UMM I GUESS YOU GUYS DID ALL THAT STUFF?? Since they were no longer hanging tough on the streets of Boston, it was time to sing about all the fun they had on their past hits and how COOL touring the world was. It was time to move on to bigger and better things, and Tonight was all about how they were ABOUT to do that. It is the prologue to a crappy book that was never written. Plus, it features midi trumpet.

what can i say

A large chunk of my adolescence was spent having really detailed and intense talent show fantasies. I think it's half the reason I listened to music - I would either listen to a song and imagine myself performing, OR imagine myself performing a choreographed dance to said song. When "Moonlight Dancing" by Bette Midler came out you better BET I envisioned myself dancing under the MOONLIGHT while my 3rd grade class waited in a line.....at night? For some reason? Once a couple of classmates busted out a dance to Black Cat by Janet Jackson over the lunch hour and I spent the next 2 weeks in my basement trying to choreograph the world's most amazing dance to Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode. To this day I admit that a choreographed dance is often running through my head while I listen to music, but without any specifics or audience love involved. I think the admiration and awe of all my classmates was a big selling point, but each fantasy almost always involved some boy falling in love with me thanks to my beautiful performance. It is clear that I will never live out my talent show performance dreams. The closest I ever got was all the piano recitals I performed in from ages 7-16, but the very last one was spent forgetting half of the music and stumbling around, freaking out, trying to remember the rest of the song, and feeling embarrassed for months. I guess I will never be Agnetha, like I often dreamt.

deludinoids

As you know, there are lots of deluded people on the internet. Anyone who thinks they have talent and TOTALLY DESERVES TO MAKE IT has an outlet to share their creations with the world. Then you also have people who suddenly believe that the entire world needs to hear about their mundane lives. Of course by "the entire world" I mean the 200 people that might watch their "makeup haul" or "fashion show" and then comment on it praising the vlogger for their great style, awesome face or dissing their totally SUCKY TEAL EYESHADOW. Suddenly people need attention and commentary for going about their day to day lives. It's a 24 hour amateur comedy night, karaoke night, and hello kitty diary. And here I am as well, writing some of my deluded thoughts about deludinoids.
