What's Your Song?


Music is powerful.
We all have songs that can remind of us a certain event or take us back
to a certain good time.

Two that come to my mind first are

Power Windows by Billy Falcon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLIFnMExtNs&list=RDiLIFnMExtNs
Reminds me of somebody very close to me who isn’t around anymore.
A lot of good memories.

Devil Inside- INXS
Reminds of one night at the Devil House at ASU.
One glorious debauchery filled night.

What songs do it for you?

These songs remind me of the craziest concert I've ever been to.
8 bands at Compton Terrace in Phoenix. Scorpions were the main band.
Aerosmith opened. Klaus Meine came in by helicopter.
100 degree weather in the desert. Venue held 20,000 people. They sold 40,000 tickets
People were passing out left and right. Concert ended at around midnight or so. Couuldn't leave the
parking lot until 6 am. Had to be at work 90 miles away at 6:30.

Because of this concert the laws were changed regarding capacity at shows.
Many babies born were traced back to this concert. I've read a few interviews where
the performers remember this concert.

Ce qui est n'est pas clos, du point de vue le
Plus essentiel
Ce qui est ouvert, est à être

Dans une action sans fin
Sans trophée et sans gloire-
Une création sans fond
Sans profit ni victoire

What is isn't closed, in the point of view the
Most essential
What is open, is to be

In a non-ending action
Without trophy and without glory-
A creation without bottom
Without profit nor victory

Nice.

Some of this stuff I really like.
Love finding new music.
Thanks.

This song reminds of a friend who loved this song.
He even named his car Little Suzi.

I like the Tesla version better.

Mandy - Barry Manilow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGfcD5qycQY
Reminds me of some guy I knew called Barry.

Happy Birthday - Altered Images https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t1vaF50Ks0
Reminds me of my birthday presents.

Do They Know Its Christmas? - Band Aid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjQzJAKxTrE
Reminds me of Christmas!

We Built This City - Starship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1b8AhIsSYQ
Reminds me of my hometown but its no longer there, due to poor foundations.

reply

At least 2 songs remind you of good things.
Maybe 3 good things depending on if Barry was a jerk or not.

Sorry about your hometown hopefully you're not still there standing around ask why?

reply

Didn't 'We Built This City' get named as the worst song of all time ??

reply

I hadn't heard that.

It's not a great song by any means but "worst of all time " I think there are far worse songs.

reply

from GQ two years ago

reply

That's rough.
I still think there are much worse songs out there.

reply

Its cheesy but no way the worst song of all time! I can think of plenty of terrible songs!

reply

Exactly my thoughts.

reply

This song reminds of when I was younger and discovered a "new" kind of music.

James Gang
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo0vBdlWQs0

reply

The ones coming to mind:

Crowded House - Better Be Home Soon
Divinyls - Human on the Inside
Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

Yeah, those take me back.

"Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away."

Excellent songs !!

reply

Thanks. I enjoy them.

Can't go past a good INXS song, either, tbh. Power Windows by Billy Falcon - reminds me so much of Jack and Diane by Mellencamp, it's nuts.

reply

You know what I never put those two songs together before.
Been listening to those songs for decades.
You're exactly right!

That's a great observation.

reply

You folks aren't philistines, so you obviously know and properly appreciate of Montreal, right?

Here's a smattering of faves listed roughly in chronological order of release...

(Yes, I got a little carried away there, but really, I could just go on and on and on. More great stuff than you can shake a stick at. Be careful with this stuff, it's really possible to fall of the deep end. I went through a good solid two years in which I found it very difficult to listen to anything else. Nothing else seemed nearly innovative or interesting enough!)

reply

I'm not a huge fan mostly because I haven't heard a lot of their music.
I've heard of three of these songs. Out of those I liked three of them.

I'll listen to these tonight.
Thanks

Brand new of Montreal track just released yesterday, new album in March. It's not, erm, beginner material...:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuFw4IZWOUE

Haha, they're drugging us
That's how we are here in the fogs
Murder of faces ending up prosaic analogues
You're the only one with any shock of animation
You're the only one who's worthy of my concentration

I had to draw a line in my life
There's those I have time for
There's those I don't
What's up with you?
You're such a power
I want to give you my twenty-fifth hour
Thirty-six hundred seconds just for us
I'm being serious, I'm really curious
Are you afraid?
Or just don't dare?
Or just don't wanna?
Or just don't wanna?

Kissing you on Pike
In Bellevue Avenue
A quick one at The Roosevelt while Steven was waiting

Counting worth in your
Paranoiac intervals
Nobody's leaving, nobody is off the beat
You shouldn't try to unpeel my Pavlovian bells
You should be fucking with no one else
Anyone but me is an antipathy
Anyone but me is just your enemy
Only I see you the way you want to see yourself
You should be fucking with no one else
You, you, you, you, you should be
You should be fucking, fucking
Fuck, fuck, fuck
You should be fucking with no one else

Haha, they're drugging us
That's how God gets inside the head
Making you feel like it was you saying the things it said
The signifiers have no value for us anymore
Death is reunion, though we've been over all this before

A Prussian Christian bot is something I am not
I could teach you a lot, I think you'd learn a lot
Are you afraid?
Or just don't dare?
Or just don't wanna?
Or just don't wanna?

Counting worth in your
Paranoiac intervals
Nobody's leaving, nobody is off the beat
You shouldn't try to unpeel my Pavlovian bells
You should be fucking with no one else
Anyone but me is an antipathy
Anyone but me is just your enemy
Only I see you the way you want to see yourself
You should be fucking with no one else
Counting worth in your
Paranoiac intervals
Nobody's leaving, nobody is off the beat
You shouldn't try to unpeel my Pavlovian bells
You should be fucking with no one else

I am tripping out on all your future shock
I am tripping out on all your body rock
Only I see you deeper than you see yourself
You should be fucking with no one else

You, you, you, you, you should be
You should be fucking, fucking
Fuck, fuck, fuck
You should be fucking with...

(Fucking, fuck, fuck, fuck)
(No one else)

My anxiety is my one source of energy
Although it is so wasteful keeping all of it inside of me
I feel, I feel like it is such a cruelty to be made
Self-aware of actualization inside of a simulation

I know how it feels
It feels, feels ugly
Body dysmorphia
I know how it feels
Body dysmorphic
Body dysmorphia
Body dysmorphia
