I'm going to explode if I don't post this.

I hadn't listened to this song in years. And it breaks my fucking heart. It's just simple and beautiful and about those moments, those short fleeting moments when you suddenly Get Things and the small hopes and slight melancholy of all that and everything ( Read more... )

muzak, general nostalgia

IT IS A LOVELY INTRO, DAMN IT.

Oh man, fanvid tiem... I'm glad it's a skill I lack, I'd vid so many songs that'd mainly just confuse people.

It would be a bloody fantastic fanvid.

I for one have always loved this song since the first time I heard thirty seconds of it on The Chart Show in the mid-to-late 90s. I found my copy with a bunch of other stuff on an old MP3 CD I made in around 2001 and have it in the playlist pool of songs I plan on playing soon.

*SQUEEZES YOU SO FUCKING HARD*

I've never heard of this band, or this song, but what you say about it sounds very promising, so... *clicks link*

...oh dear GOD. That's.. beautiful. I mean, the melody is simple but haunting, and the orchistration isn't overdone like a lot of that style is, but most importantly, I love the feel of the lyrics. That moment, that precious second, of connection with someone else, and it's wonderful and it's terrible and you feel both alone and... uhm, something else, the opposite of alone, there isn't a word for what I mean, "surrounded" maybe, interconnected? Arrgh, stupid english.

Also, am feeling a v. "Master/Doctor" vibe from it - but that may just be me, and that I'm getting there from your journal.

Uhm, anywy. Really really really love this, can have copy, PLZ?

I'll see what I can do! And fucking hell, I'm so glad it touched you. I think it works because it's so simple and bare and melancholy. Just clicks.

And you're the second person to mention Master/Doctor, AUUUUGH! AND I WAS TRYING SO HARD! *flail*

*nodnodnod* I certainly have an affinity for music like that, yes.

Uhm, sorry? But if it comes up without you mentioning it, then the connection has GOT to be there! Right? Right? Anyway, I'll add it to my (very fucking LONG) "when I get a computer that let's me vid" list....

It's the sort of song I could see myself getting addicted to...

snowgrouse October 5 2007, 03:18:14 UTC

That sounds promising.

I've never heard this song before, but it's very, very good and I can see how it would be deeply affecting to someone in their adolescence. It reminds me of something...I had my iPod on shuffle at work today, and I was listening to Depeche Mode's "Suffer Well" and I kept thinking "GODDAMN this is a good song! I wish I had more Depeche Mode." Of course, at the time the song was big, I thought Depeche Mode was depressing, boring music for people with dorky haircuts and too much eye makeup.

This whole topic makes me think about how much music means to me. I'm not a musician and not really interested in the music industry or anything, but nothing has ever as much MEANING to me on a fundamental level as much as music. I have like...4000+ songs on my iPod, and I own a lot more than that. Once I had an honest-to-god orgasm just listening to Carmina Burana being performed live. Heh, and I also have a song that means a lot to me but I can't get other people into it, Geek Love by Bang Bang Machine. It's like ten minutes long and I think you ( ... )

Thing is, I'm far less into music than most people I know, so much that people think I'm weird that way. But there are just some songs that... damn.

And yeah, bands with dodgy reputations can still bring gems. I'm not big on emo, but severa used My Chemical Romance's "House of Wolves" on a Master vid and I fell in love because that damn song was just perfect rock'n'roll contained in ~3 minutes for me. And that was win. (Associating it with the Master did help, though...)
