IICR there was something lie this last summer, and since not much is happening right now I thought I'd start one up again. Post your favourite stuff to listen and discuss it here. Cheers, Chapel. I'll start with this:[video=youtube;7Wt5QSXcQ_Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wt5QSXcQ_Y&ob=av2e[/video]
If people asked me what my favourite song was, I'd respond something like it changes all the time, I don't really have one but that was before I heard this song: [video=youtube;Lb9X5jMofEo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb9X5jMofEo[/video] In my mind, this is my favourite ever song. The melody is enchanting and evocative, the lyrics are sweet and portray a 'perfect day' between two people, a day where 'every moment was so precious', but with a hint of nostalgia as if the event in the song is one that is long gone and perhaps can not be recreated again. Interesting, on a lyric website I read a comment which provided an interesting view on the song. In the opinion of the writer, it seemed to have a military feel to it and in his/her view, it told the story of a couple who have been separated by war. It fits in with the theme of the Viva La Vida album as a whole and there are certain lyrics that may support this view, for example "People moving all the time inside a perfectly straight line", suggests soldiers marching in a column of some kind while "Everybody was for fighting" suggests that song is against the backdrop of some kind of war, perhaps the French Revolutionary Wars? Furthermore, in the video there is a clip where it repeats the image from the front cover of Viva La Vida (the French Revolution). That's one of the great things about the song, at first glance it looks like a simple love song, but then on second glance, there's more to it than that and I think there is definitely some element of sadness to it. An addition reason why I like this song so much is because it reminds me of my second date with my ex. We went for a picnic and it was lovely, lying in the sun, watching clouds while people play cricket. It was a perfect day. She turned out to be a bitch unfortunately and very callous with people's hearts but at the time, it was a lovely day.

Just listened to Addicted and it's not bad!! Not really my sort of music but I enjoyed it far more than I enjoy pretty much everything I hear on Radio One.
Cheers Dan. thanks for listening. It's a little more Dance than I usually listen to aswell but quite like writing Dance Rock tracks. It comes from my hatred of dance music. I think if I can write a dance song that I would listen to, i might be on to something... as I said 17 people in this world agree!
I'm listening to Joe Bonamassa this week. Band of Skulls are a Southampton band and well worth a listen too.
Love these threads! Here's what I'm digging at the moment: [video=youtube;-Vak7nAu-Ck]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vak7nAu-Ck[/video] [video=youtube;QktIufwCC9A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QktIufwCC9A[/video] [video=youtube;vVYza0NiWuU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVYza0NiWuU[/video] [video=youtube;N1b0POvWLyI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1b0POvWLyI[/video] [video=youtube;4EV8rYiTeDY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EV8rYiTeDY[/video] [video=youtube;ghfklQz3Qgk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghfklQz3Qgk&feature=related[/video] [video=youtube;WMVsnxcuDWE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMVsnxcuDWE[/video]
Ah amazing you put this up, I love TMV! Was lucky enough to see them live a few years ago, was absolutely insane. Cygnus Vismund Cygnus is my favourite off that album though, thirteen minutes of pure ear sex.
Had a "magic" smoke and listened to this album... in celebration of finishing a load of coursework! [video=youtube;EgW9B7a-Fb4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgW9B7a-Fb4[/video]
