My hubby can’t stand Robert Smith’s voice but he thinks their music is really good. I think this is the greatest love song ever written. Robert Smith is the example of the perfect loving husband. He met his wife Mary when he was just a teenager and married her later on. They are still married and very much in love! This is a song that he wrote her as a wedding present just before they got married."Whenever I'm alone with you ,you make me feel like I am Home again, whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am Whole again" I couldn't find better words to describe how I feel , Robert Smith has done it for me. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do...
This song is by The Killers, They crack me up with their lyrics, quite funny. Their music is amazing. The first time I’ve heard them is when they have released their song “Somebody told me”, I was very impressed. I’ve been following their career since then. We’ve seen them perform live in Festival V and they were very good.
This song is about facing the reality as a grown person, looking back and remembering all the dreams that you had when you were young. When I was about 20, I’ve written down a story about my friends and I and I’ve described what each of us is going to do in the future. One friend was interested in studding Psychology. She was a very motherly figure, very gentle and she used to analyse us all the time, she was the one that always took care of us, especially me. Another friend was always in the centre of everything and used to make us laugh all the time, great comedian. She was an excellent actress. She always wanted to get famous and be part of the movie or theatre industry. I always wanted to be a singer but when I’ve reached 20 I’ve realized that I’ll have to give up this dream so I wanted to study to be an accountant so I can make some money. We all ended up in different directions. The psychologist became an amazing artist, she was always very creative. I think it suits her perfectly because she is very good in her job! The actress did have a television show and my mum used to love watching her every time she was on. Eventually she gave it up and started a career as a real estate agent in a family business. Again, she is probably one hell of sales person because she always knew how to sell herself. I actually ended up in the finance industry not as an accountant though – thank god for that! Never really enjoyed it but I’ve survived. The great thing about my job is that I don’t really work that hard so I get to focus on my hobbies. One of them is this blog. Funny how things change and even though you choose different path it all works out at the end ;) this song is dedicated to both A & T . I think we all turned out just fine...
What’s this about? According to “songfacts” website this is about growing up and moving on in the world, leaving the past behind you. It deals with how your perceptions change as you look back on your youth.
This song is by Dire Straits. It’s one of the best love songs ever written. The lyrics of this song are just amazing. To be honest I’ve never been a dire straits fan. They were not loud enough for my taste.
I was exposed to this song for the first time when I was 19. I was dating this guy that couldn’t stop talking about his Ex and how wonderful she is (yes, I know what you’re thinking – I was the rebound girl!). He showed me a birthday card that he got from her, at the end she has quoted the following line from this song:” I can’t do the talk like they talk on TV and I can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be, I can’t do everything but I’ll do anything for you, I can’t do anything except be in love with you...”. I fell in love with this song instantly and bought their greatest hits CD.You ask yourself why I stayed with a guy that couldn’t shut up about his Ex? Well, his mum was quite awesome and she was a great cook! I couldn’t really say goodbye to the good food, I was constantly eating in his house, put on a few kilos and was quite happy about it. When we broke up his mum took it really hard because she knew it’s a goodbye forever for both of us. I’ve cried a lot as well – not because of him of course, I honestly liked his mum! Good thing came out of this story, a beautiful song that I’m sharing with you right now so I hope you enjoy it...
What’s this song about? It is rumoured that the song itself has nothing to do with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, but has been instead inspired by Knopfler's relationship between himself and Holly Vincent, of the band Holly and the Italians. Some of the lyrics indicate that Knopfler thought that she just used their relationship to boost her own career.(Wikipedia – Romeo and Juliet)
This next song is by Tears for Fears. My Brother’s favourite band. Growing up I remember for years and years my brother use to listen to their music. He is probably their biggest fan! their songs were always playing in the background. It’s almost like they were part of our house.
A few years after in the late 90’s my brother went on a trip to London. As he was waiting for his train to arrive he saw Roland Orzabal passing by with his Wife and kids. Of course my brother decided not to approach him because he wanted him to have his privacy and since he admired him so much he didn’t want to upset him. This is just an unbelievable coincidence! I know he will remember this experience for the rest of his life. Now what are my chances to bump into Chris Cornell while I’m grocery shopping at Coles?!?
I can’t really go on without mentioning anything about the horrendous earthquake and Tsunami that struck Japan. My thoughts are with the Japanese that were affected by this disaster. The world is going completely mad and I’m really starting to believe that the Maya prophecy about the end of the world in 2012 is coming true. Let’s hope they were wrong, otherwise we don’t have much time on earth and that’s a very scary thought! Check out this beautiful song by Tears for Fears...
It is basically a love song and one of the simplest tracks that Tears for Fears have ever recorded. It is a love song that goes a bit perverse at the end.
This song is by the Aussie band Kisschasy. It’s such a cool song. I saw on Chanel V that they were playing outside of Bendigo train station and I thought to myself how cool is that to surprise people in the middle of the day with a gig. Apparently it was Chanel’s V project with other bands playing live everywhere. Still, I think it’s cool that they took part of it.
This song is about the “emo” fashion that developed in the 21st century. This fashion relates to today’s alternative music fans. It’s the tight jeans and tight t-shirts that usually bear the name of the band. When I was a teenager, my friends and I use to wear all black for a long period because that was the fashion among youth who were listening to heavy metal music back in the 90’s. We also use to cut the top of our t shirts so it will show the line of our bra; I have no clue why we did that, quite a weird fashion we have developed. We were very cool back then, I’m not so cool today, quite nerdy actually! Anyway check out this awesome song...
What’s this song about? The song is a take on the perceived emo subculture in Australia, alluding to the very tight black jeans often forming the basis of "emo" fashion. (wikipedia – spray on pants)
This song is by the Aussie Band Pendulum. My hubby loves them very much. They have such cool electronic rock music I enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoy listening to The Prodigy, they sound pretty similar to me. I like this song very much. It’s very catchy and fun to listen to. I also like the lead singer’s voice. The music of this song goes so well with the lyrics so when I listen to it I feel like getting out and start running somewhere... maybe I should! This song definitely about a woman trapped in an abusive relationship."You gotta get out Go far away you gotta get out Come far away". Check out this awesome song.
This song is by Birds of Tokyo. I fell in love with it recently. Such great lyrics. These guys are pretty good with words! Ian Kenny is an unbelievable vocalist. The way he sings this song , you can feel the pain of the woman that is singing about. "I don't know which way I'm supposed to spin in this circle and I won't waste my time on your concern 'til it's over..." This song is about feeling miserable in a relationship and struggling to find the strength to walk away. it's about making a tough decision while the future is unknown. I'm dedicating this song to my closest friend who recently got out of a circle and now building her life back and moving on. I think you are a very strong and brave woman and I'm really proud of you! I hope you find someone that makes you happy, understands and love you for who you are because you are so damn beautiful woman! check out my mushy song...
This song is by the Aussie band Faker. Such a fun energetic song. I love it and I never get sick of it. Cool lyrics. I especially like the freeze in the middle of the song. My heart stops it isn’t......going. Such a cool idea.
Of course this song talks about trying to get over bad relationship again, same old story all the time. It’s either drugs or bad relationships, is that what this world all about? Check out this cool song...
This song is by Queen of Stone Age. This is a great album, sounds very Grunge style but still very unique. Dave Grohl (Nirvana’s Drummer and Foo Fighters Frotman) replaced their drummer just for this album. He even toured with them for awhile. I love this song very much, Great Music and unbelievable video clip.
I think this song talks about women & men that have casual sex with different people just for the sake of sex, they go with the flow. They would probably say that that’s what they want in their life but all they really want is to be loved by someone and the act of sex with anyone is there fulfilment of quick love affair because they can’t seem to find the real thing. I had a friend like that; she was sleeping around and bragging about it. Knowing her personal history we all thought that it’s a phase that she is going through and she just wants to get some attention. Check out this song...
This song is by Audioslave. A band that was formed by Chris Cornell from soundgarden and Tom Morello from Rage against the Machine in 2001. Their music is quite a combination between the two bands in my opinion. They have released 3 albums which were very successful and then disbanded. Of course I had to explore this band a little bit since Chris Cornell is my favourite person in the music industry.
This song is about a dying old man that waits for his death. He is reviewing the good and bad things that he has done sitting all alone and hoping to be transferred to a better afterlife. When I’ll die, I’m hoping to get to a really cool place where I’ll meet all the people that I love. The thought about not seeing the people that you love anymore scares me the most. Don’t want to ever say goodbye to my family. Freaks me out completely! Check out this wonderful song... This is an awesome song and their most famous one, check it out...
What’s this song about? Bassist Tim Commerford claims that the song is about an old man waiting for death, who sits in a house alone after all his friends and family have passed on, waiting to be reunited with them.However, while Commerford originally thought it was a song about love and romance, band's singer-songwriter Chris Cornell explains that "It's a song about concentrating on the afterlife you would hope for, rather than the normal monotheistic approach: You work really hard all your life to be a good person and a moral persona and fair and generous, and then you go to hell anyway." (Wikipedia – Like a Stone)
