Music Discovery
« on: January 29, 2011, 12:40:21 pm »
Post links to songs.  Video or not, doesn't matter.  Artist, title, and genre are required information, and should otherwise be generally concise.  Thread isn't meant for music discussion so much as a place to pick up random music recommendations when you feel like hearing something new.

I'll get it rolling with 3 power metal songs.  One negative.  One positive.  One just plain awesome.

After Forever - Beautiful Emptiness

Ayreon - Confrontation

van Canto - Fear of the Dark

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

Violin virtuoso and traditional Jewish band from Cracow make music:
Nigel Kennedy and Kroke - Lullaby for Kamila

Japanese saxophonist covers an old pop-hit:
Kobayashi Kaori - Nothing's gonna change my love for you

Canadian singer of Scotish-Irish descent sings poetry:
Loreena McKennit - The Bonny Swans

Popular boysband makes fun of overanalyzing fans:
The Beatles - I am the Walrus

Pirates arrre having jolly good time in the only good scene from the Pirate Movie:
The Pirates & Mike Brady - Victory

Swedish_singer_that_you've_never_heard_about_unless_you've_watched_the_anime_BECK,_and_even_that_is_unlikely, sings beautifully:
Sofia Jannok - Áššogáttis

British triphop-y duo in their best music video:
Lamb - Gorecki

Another triphop band joins with the singer from Cocteau Twins and an animatronic foetus:
Massive Attack & Liz Fraser - Teardrop

A man with a big mouth feels angst:
The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black

Israeli-born singer sings about happiness, but you'd never guess that:
Yasmin Levy - La Alegria

Get all mystical and cathartic with this duo from Australia:
Dead Can Dance - The Host of Seraphim

Listen to a piece from the soundtrack from Le Professionnel by the master of electronica:
Ennio Morricone - Chi Mai

And some charming indie pop to close the list:
Vienna Teng - Eric's Song

Revamp - Million

Another power metal song.  New band from my favorite female singer.  This is possibly the most ass-kickingly motivational song I know.  It describes so perfectly how easy it is to get hung up on so many things while time and opportunities pass all the while.  I get emotional over it, because it's so relevant to where I am in life today.

With one foot still in the past
With the other far ahead
In between the times go fast
Chase your life while living it

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

You don't use freedom Penguin. First you demand it, then you have it.
No using. That's not what freedom is for.

Seconded. I started to listen to Rammstein this weekend as part of my constant exposure Deutchselernen gambit.

My favorite is Engel

She sings in Judaeo-Spanish right? They had her in the news a while ago.

She most certainly does NOT sing about happiness. Whoever told you that lied to you. She sings about a lost love or somesuch
Roughly:

Ay, ay, ay... ay ay ay... (ow ow ow, ow ow ow)
Bebo y bebo y bebo   (I drink)
para olvidarte (to forget you)
Yo Duermo y duermo y duermo (I sleep and I sleep and I sleep
Pa no pensar... (To not think)

Damn world

Vivir para pagar por este (live to pay for -didn't understand this bit-. I think she says "pay for this corpse and love you, or somesuch)
Sueltame (release me)
ayayay, ayayay, ayayay (owowow owowow owowowow
aah, aah aah, ay (aah, aah, aah ow)
(bis)

and so on.

(Blah, I hate this pseudoandalusian music)

La alegria = Happiness. No?
And of course it's more about the lack of said happines. What I meant is that the title is rather misleading.

If it's of any consolation I wish we had learned German -or any other major language- in high school instead of Basque (or at least, instead of investing so many school hours in it. Really, 4 hours a week? I'm ok with it as a subject, but I think it's ridiculous to give it such importance.)
