*off topic but id like to dedicate this one to a friend 'Z'.. may we always listen to good music, fine wine and GREAT discussions-in that order ;) -please read it and dont tell me you dont think like me too..coz i know you do!
SO this post will consist of..songs that sound sooo sweeet with the ukelele and light bongo's playing in the background make you feel like your sitting by a camp fire on a beach watching the sunset while Jason mraz and Colbie calait are singing a soft tune...but when you listen closely you realize..theyr actually very subtly singing about some really woah big/touchy topics like sex, relationships, kinkyness etc. and not just about a girl squeeling "the party dont start till i walk in." *(although i kinda like that song too)
I'm a lyrics-lover (if that's a word-or two)
more then the music i LOVE lyrics..they have this weird effect on me..some 'Greats' can even make my stomach do swirls..and that doesn't happen often!
Let me start by saying that I'm not a big fan of songs that tell you EXACTLY what they mean in their lyrics.. i like thinking, coming up with my own conclusions, and often even hearing other peoples interpretations.
i mean i know Taylor swift is awesome, blah blah, girl with a guitar writes about everything that happens in her life, blah blah..her next song titles will consist of 'my butt itches.." and "today a mosquito flew by me "
Instead i like songs like..
Bad Romance- Lady Gaga
Im a big fan of the Gaga..shes highly entertaining(no matter what anybody says) and this song, may not have the ukelele and bongo's but in between all her "rarara's" and her "roma roma" ga ga gaa's...shes actually talking about a relationship thats not perfect, but she wants to know about every aspect of her lover's life , good and bad! its sweet, in a Gaga way!
-or then im losing it and reading too much into it and what she really wants is a bad boy! i could live with that too..
Crash into me- Dave Mathews
Seriously anyone who's heard this song thinks about sex, instantly..."come crash into me, and i come into you..in a boys dream" but its slightly deeper then that..he loves this girl so much that he thinks shes perfect in every way "Sweet, like candy to my soul" and he fell in love with her without really knowing her too well..almost prematurly, "If iv gone overboard..forgive me In my haste"
but its mostly about him fantasizing about doing her-in a nutshell!
Closer-Kings of Leon
they have got to be one of the best bands to come out of the last decade! The Vocals that quite honestly give me goosebumps and lyrics that are so deep and broody...ooohh i LOVE everything about them!
This particular song i chose because i heard somewhere that its about the love between a human and a vampire-please before you start judging me thinking im going to talk about twilight and true blood-please dont! i dont liek either-they have commercialized something that was mythically epic and sacred-it hurts.
-The song..beautifully depicts the love for a (human) girl that a vampire feels.."driven by the strangle of veins..you keep on crying, ill bleed you dry" and "..200 years of chasing taking its toll"
*...continued in next post!
