glowingember Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Movie music:2 pieces come to mind:The first is Pan's Labyrinth's Lullaby...the ending was so sad, torn between a desire for the story to be a dream and yet, reality deems otherwise. The other is Brokeback Mountain's love theme...I've never loved a country-styled song as much...

Avecinfuser Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I love the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack. I even have the theme remixes which I remembered buying from a Tower Records when I was in the US and the movie was all the rage! Here is the Gabriel & Dresden Remix. I also had "The Wings" theme music as my handphone's ringtone once haha. The movie was par excellent, tragic, romantic and totally heart wrenching. Also from Air Playground Love from the movie Virgin Suicides. Love the book, look the movie, look the soundtrack too! Another beautiful tragedy....the story of our lives!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wGzJBtLsjo Quote Only to lie like this between the bombs, dreaming away and not alone, because time was very short.

TheVisitors Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Because of some personal issues, I actually ran away from home after NS, for 16months. Guess where? Was in New York. Was doing a part time job here. Met Rebecca and her NYC hubby who planned to return to States. She loved me like a young brother, so she took me along. Through them, I applied as student pass permit, but was working happily in their restaurant. But when the time was ripe, and I felt I needed to be strong to face the music back home here.So I bid them farewell, and came back.here once more, to face the music bravely.Thus no more running away.

PaterTenebrarum Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) I like Soul Asylum! For me, I used to listen to Mary Lou Lord's album Got No Shadow in my Discman on my way from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi where I was spending a good part of my army days in an overseas attachment.If she had married Kurt, maybe he would not have killed himself. Instead, he married Courtney.I think it was written somewhere dat Mary wrote this song for him. The indie girls of the 90s were so cool! Love them!

Avecinfuser Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hey Pater, Jane Siberry and The Lightning Seeds were brought up before. Both much loved by me too. I noticed that those born in the 70s grew up listening to all sorts of music (I think there is a separate thread discussing this topic).But let's return to the present and I'd like to just share Beirut's latest album which I have just downloaded called The Rip Tide. Beirut was recommended before in this thread. I'm thoroughly enjoying this new offering from them. Beirut's lead vocals reminded me so much of GusGus, though both music styles and sounds are worlds apart. Take a listen to both of them and tell me what you think.

PaterTenebrarum Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Still on the topic of covers, I think it's perfectly fine if an artist takes somebody else's song and makes it his/her own. But F Wong, imho did not make them, her own. For example, her cover of bluebeard is almost identical to the original! Ditto for Rilkean Heart cos CT did make an acoustic version of it. I think i's ok to cover one or two songs but when you cover a whole lot of songs by other people, record them on albums and some of the songs you are best known for are covers....well....Forgive me for ranting, eh? Not getting personal, so FW fans, you shld know that. If u feel angered by wot I said then mea culpa.Two great covers which I think were excellent.Tori Amos doing Total Eclipse of the Heart. And these dudes doing a cover of Albert Niland's cover of Kate B's Wuthering Heights.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5riBf-irZuQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Fracture and Repressing Happiness, totally cool and awesome!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0_lZ7ZYdtg Faye also lent her vocals on Serpentskirt on the classic and fantastic Milk and Kisses album. slut 1 Quote Only to lie like this between the bombs, dreaming away and not alone, because time was very short.

derryfawne Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 First is iieee...it seems to be about her miscarriage...not too sure from the lyricsiieee is among my top favorites too.I though Spark was the song abt her miscarriage? The acknowledged-and-known miscarriage songs are Sparks and Playboy Mommy.There's this Tori website which forum I used to hang around for quite some time years back. The website also collected official information about songs, and it seems to imply partly that, yes, iieee is possibly about miscarriage too.http://www.yessaid.com/talk/6iieee.htmlI'm usually not a hip-hop fan,but this one grows on me,and it's climbing up the UK singles chart as we speak.Your non-typical alternative?For one, it has melody and not just beats; may help us to relate to the song better.My favorite hip-hop artist is still Kanye West. His second album impressed me, and I digged back to his past works and has since followed his career. Also, the way he re-appropriated songs from Chaka Khan, Shirley Bassey, and Daft Punk into his own works, imo, beat the originals.Kanye West is one rare case of mainstream rap acts who are willing to experiment with stylistic diversity. He got a big ego, but he can back it up. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derryfawne Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I have close to zero knowledge of Faye Wong's music. Some listens to the songs posted on this thread tells me that I'm impressed with some and found some others not to be my liking; so I'll refrain from commenting much on her.Bjork, on the other hand, is an artist that constructs an alternate landscape of her own making. It is, of course, to her conscious choice to detach her music from the realities of our world that annoyed many people to no end. I remember the first time hearing Bjork ("Oceania"), and I swore it's the most horrible crap I've ever chanced upon; gets turned off by her for a few years until I decided to give her another try and, for once and all, I begin to get her. Only when a listener has agreed to wander into Bjork's fantasies that the colors and joy of her works unravel.I have trouble deciding what I like most about Bjork:- Her lyrics always frames her subjects with a fresh new angle, which I once saw described by a web critic as "providing a pseudo-naive look on complex things and trying to make them look simple by writing complex lyrics about them". Her first single, 'Human Behavior' is a clear example of this.- Her songwriting bends the rule of traditional songwriting. It's never easy to predict what comes next because she doesn't abide to conventional song structures. But while there are no clearly-defined structure, in some respect Bjork has glued it into intriguing set of melodies. With 'Hyperballad' and 'Venus As A Boy', for example, you cannot pinpoint the exact magic where the hooks live, but those refrains are so goddamn catchy you can hardly be bothered at all.- Her arrangement is colorful. Even when she stays on one particular color (e.g. Vespertine), like a good musician, she pulls out various shades out of her hat. Music box, splashed with digital crackles and scratches, pinned under the recorded sound of people walking in ice, etc. Granted, this sort of creativity is not unprecedented or without peers, but Bjork never surrenders to the most obvious choice of arrangements.- Her voice bursts, fades from roars to angelic coos like a good jazz instrument; and as the instrumentalist of her vocal cord, she has complete mastery of it. It phrases a persona that commands for your attention. Likewise for her phrasing, which she uses integrally to accentuate certain parts of her songs.It's tempting to argue that she's not original. I don't know about that. But even if she doesn't innovate new sounds/techniques, she does warp her influences into something unparalleled and completely of her own... at least until Kate Bush and Richard D. James decide to copulate and raise a child together. Quote “Do not take life too seriously.

I'm a huge fan too and love her as she metamorphoses from pop kitten to avant chanteuse It's hard to pick favorites but perhaps to further showcase how her works changed over the years.Recenthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQOnE2oN8Ik&feature=relatedEarly days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowingember Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 @teeshirtGrease!!!! I've watched it at least 10 times. From cinemas to TV to dvd. I can even sing the strange sound-words in We Go Together. Movie music- I like this opening of the film 20 Centimeters about a prostitute solving his/her penis problem to be a woman. I particularly like the camerawork that syncs so well with the song.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6VzXQdOfrs Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
