Songs To Describe Your Emotions Today

acid priest said:
Akon's 'Lonely' is rather heartfelt... ;) :D

That is actually quite interesting - would brecht have employed vocoder / electronic technology to create 'emotionless' delivery of certain lines in order to achieve the desired sense of 'alienation'. Well done AP have a star! :D

It's not about trendiness at all. I was trying to illustrate Brecht's notion that the singer should detach himself from the emotional content of the song and not 'put themselves into the song'
I thought Curtis' deadban delivery of extraordinarily dark and emotive material was a good example, though obviously there are times when he does get emotive. I couldn't think of a 'street, hip and yoof' example. :p

Christina Aguilera ...Dirty...the most cleaned up non sexy barbie looking woman ever. Toatally divorced from her music depsite her grunts.

hey, maybe you could do a good thread, tg,

I doubt it somehow :D

(remember all - 'frank ferdinand', 'would you spend 50p to see a person dressed as a grapefruit?' and 'socially responsible band names' as well as 'pie or pastie?' are all still open. tangerinedream - works his polls better than a very good um.. skier or mori person on speed)

Anyway to rerail this thread - I will say that
'no strings' - roots manuva is just about how I feel right now. The way it echo's 'dreamy days' - end of a good weekend and all that.

I've had enough of you today - Blackie & Rodeo Kings

Chorus
So shut up I’ll give up when I want to
Just shut up I’m not listening to you
Say anything ‘cause it don’t mean nothing
I’ve had enough of you today
I’ve had enough of you today

To make it beautiful to live."
 
"Whole Of The Moon"

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hand
I had flashes but
You saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon

I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
You saw "Brigadoon"
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
Yeah

I spoke about wings
You just flew I wondered
I guessed and I tried
You just knew and I sighed
And you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

The torch in your pocket
And the wind on your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To get too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and Piers
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
Yes, you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon
Yeah, you saw the whole of the moon
 
Takk.

The new Sigur Ros album.

I feel like all of it...

(probably due to the fact that I've been listening to it on repeat since I brought it...)

You need a healthy dose of 'Stars Of CCTV' methinks! Bright, perky pop music played on noisy guitars and that! :) :p ;)
