Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Everyday words seems
To turn into love song
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be la vie en rose
Oh, Woah, Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1:]
We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat
[Pre-Chorus:]
With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, get you another name
Switch up the batteries
[Chorus:]
If you gave me a chance I would take it
If you're sitting there thinking "I've never heard any Dick Dale music" then if you've seen "Pulp Fiction" you've heard Dick Dale. The opening song in that film is "Miserlou" by Dick Dale.
Recently I made a rendition of Luna's Song of the Night for Monochomatic's amazing story The Enchanted Kingdom. I thought it came out alright, so I guess I should leave it here.
Honestly it's a wonderful story, up there with my favorites on this site, and everyone should read her series. And the final book in the story is starting!
Welp! I'm really doing this one! Here we go throwback to the 2000's!
Called you for the first time yesterday
Finally found the missing part of me
Felt so close but you were far away
Left me without anything to say
Now I'm speechless
Over the edge, I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
[Chorus:]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
This is an example of an artist who can also be a 'storyteller' with music.
[Hook: Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
[Verse 1: Ludacris]
Now little Lisa is only 9 years old
She's trying to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's all alone and ain't never met her family
Mama's always gone and she never met her daddy
"Twilight Time" by The Platters is a perfect song.
I can clearly hear one of the songs I had to play on the piano years ago in it, but at the same time... wow, is this good vibe music.
Some more dance-rock/dance-punk style music from New York this time around.Yet another band Significant Other introduced me to. It is quite energetic with an enjoyable combination of indie rock and a dash electronic dance/synthpop mixed in. Some of their later bts have a darker, angrier feel to it (cf. Stir the Blood), but all in all it is quite an enjoyable, upbeat listen.
Brown Bird - Fingers to the Bone
Some deliciously epic instrumental "film traileresqe" music here. I am not sure of what the exact name of this genre is, but it has an epic orchestral, sweeping feel to it. Mr.(?) Puumala here is certainly one of the best of the bunch my coworkers and I have run across on the production floor thanks to Pandora Radio...
Some tasty blues-rock/metal this time around. I was introduced to them by my fellow co-workers on the production floor. Left Lane Cruiser has a pretty heavy hard-rock sound infused into some Mississippi hill country blues. It makes for a good compromise for those of use on the production floor that like to listen to country music, and those of us (myself included) that prefer hard rock
More Avatar goodness!
This certainly is an interesting album, filled with a pleasingly wide variety of influences and sounds. I remember an interview somewhere (YouTube perhaps?) a while back with Johannes Eckerström, the lead singer, saying the band did not want to get stuck making the same sounds and music again and again. They succeeded quite well here; a veritable cornucopia of different styles here!
On the power metal cheesy fun scale from "At home in the 80's" to "Featured on the box art for a graphics card", Gloryhammer certainly pegs the metre. The first song is about a wizard leading an army of undead unicorns which sets the tone for everything that follows.
