Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Something is going on, because when I went to look at the playlist just now, there are only 17 songs on it and there should be 64!!! :shock:
Does anyone know another service like playlist that I can use AND another free file storage service which stores music files with an .mp3 extension?
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
The easiest way by far is if your ISP offers a little bit of free storage.
Then, all you need to do is access this space and put the files there.
Then you just give the URL for the mp3 file at your ISP. Like this:
http://ww.comcast.com/rocksmomspace/greatsong.mp3
This approach means that people can listen to the file in their browser, or even download the file to their own computer. If you check the contract from the ISP it should say if you've got such space. Odds are that you do, but most people never use this space.
Another option is to upload to Youtube without a video, just as a song. However, since the material is copyrighted it is POSSIBLE that sooner or later somebody will complain about it. The easiest way to avoid this is not to call the song or the artist by their actual names. This way the copyright enforcers won't automatically find the songs.
There might be some Russian video music site that you can upload to and that doesn't have the same degree of copyright enforcement that US/EU based sites have. Perhaps the other forum members know of it? Yandex.ru might have something. Of course, this requires some Russian skills.
Finally there is http://www.last.fm where you can make playlists. But ONLY if they have decided that the song can be played back (e.g. there's a royalty deal). Also, I don't think you can control the playing order on last.fm.

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Well, if you have access to the playlist, this song should be on there! I say "should." If not, here is the link to it on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElO4x_BZ1As, "Wonderful" by Gary Go. It is a nice uplifting song with a good beat for a debut song from this British artist.
Now, he also did a cover of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and if you really want a laugh, take a listen to the live version he did and keep listening...don't stop 'cause you have to get to the rap part at about 1:50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwErSE5Cfcs
Lyrics for Wonderful:
The person that you were has died,
You've lost the sparkle in your eyes,
You fell for life; into it's traps,
And now you wanna bridge the gaps.
Now you wanna bridge the gaps,
Now you want that person back.
And all your ammunition's gone,
Run out of fuel to carry on,
You don't know what you wanna do,
You've got no pull, to pull you through.
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".
If what you've lost cannot be found,
And the weight of the world weighs you down,
No longer with the will to fly,
You stop to let it pass you by.
Don't stop to let it pass you by.
You've gotta look yourself in the eyes and...
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".
Ooh, you are.
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".
'Cause we are all miracles,
Wrapped up in chemicals,
We are incredible.
Don't take it for granted, no,
We are all miracles.
Ooh, we are.
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am",
Say "I Am Wonderful".
Ooh, you are.
Don't take it for granted, no,
We are all miracles,
Wrapped up, yeah, we're wrapped up.
Ooh, we are wonderful.
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
I want to give a heartfelt "thank you" to everyone who has participated in this thread.
I have a very long drive tomorrow (Friday) and I have just loaded up my iPod with all new songs and many of them in different languages! Songs that I would never have listened to because they are not available to me or I may not have even thought of listening to because they might be outside my comfort zone, or just a little, not my style; yet, I have found that I do enjoy them very much.
So, while you have not managed to get me to speak Russian, you have managed to get me listening to songs in Russian (and songs in other languages). One small step for me and one giant step for you Russians! :friends:
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
I don't quite remember if there was a mention about this band in this thread but this is one of a few modern Russian pop-songs I really like (despite strange "люли-мои-люли" :D ):

Robin, I am so glad you found this band and posted the songs! :bravo: I like Metro very much. Their lead singer, Cassandra Ford, reminds the girls and me of Gwen Stefani!
Robin! Too funny, when we were in the car on the way to New York and listening to Metro, I actually thought it was a mistake and I had the wrong song under Metro and that it WAS an old Gwen song mixed up by accident!!!
For those of you who can still access Playlist, I have been trying to fix all the bad links it using alternate music links. For the non-Russian based songs, I have found many of the songs; however, for the Russian based one, I am not having much luck. I will keep looking for a way to solve this problem. :)

I can't believe I had been listening this twenty yeares ago.

That song was pretty bad. I never heard it before, thankfully. Good to hear your tastes have improved!!! :wink:
This sounds like one of those songs of which they used to say in the 1980s that if you played the record BACKWARDS, then there is a satanic message.... (So when somebody did something evil they could sue the record company and deny accountability...)
The thing I could never figure out was how people managed to play the record backwards in the first place..

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Talking about the sins of our musical youth, this is what I did in the early 90s. I wrote the lyrics for a progressive metal band which never made it big, called Mordancy, and we actually had a real CD out back then, called 'Scars'. Here's a link to a track which includes me on vocals, not the high clean ones, just the growled verses.

Nothing. :) La-la. If they would sing: "люли-люли-люли", there were no funny questions. But "люли-мои люли" is like "la-la-my-la-la", like if they are skipping some probably dirty words. :D

Basil, I agree with Johanna, it is a catchy song. Not bad. I think you might just like it for the visual though :spiteful:
Okay, more Kings of Leon news. It was announced last week that they are going to release an album of remixes
http://blogs.tennessean.com/tunein/2009 ... -new-disc/ ..."in the coming months, featuring interpretations of their tunes by Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park, Pharrell, Mark Ronson and Lykke Li." This band just gets hotter and hotter!
They are also giving back to new artists as well which is really cool! They appartenly signed a band, on their NEW record label, that is also from Tennessee and are now promoting them on their Web site and they are the opening group for KOL.
The band is called "The Features" and the song is "Lions" and it is not bad at all *)

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Music Term... Sampling... It is not a Remix, a Cover, or a Mashup. It is when an artist takes a portion of an old song and weaves it into a new song. And of course, I have a brand new song that does just that and the original for you to listen to as well!
:?: Which one do you like better???
We have to dig back to the 80s again for the original song, "Let The Music Play," by Shannon. This song was the fire spark for drum machine and dance music songs. I have the song up on the Playlist and here is a link to it on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDnxxYDx5nc
Lyrics:
We started dancing and love put us into a groove
As soon as we started to move
The music played while our bodies displayed through the dance
Then love picked us up for romance
I thought it was clear
The plan was we would share this feeling just between ourselves
But when the music changed the plan was rearranged
He went to dance with someone else
We started dancing and love put us into our groove
But now he's with somebody new
What does love want me to do
Love said..
Chorus:
Let the music play, he won't get away
Just keep the groove and then he'll come back to you again
Let it play
Let the music play, he won't get away
This groove he can't ignore, he won't leave you anymore
He tried pretending our dance is just a dance but I see
He's dancing his way back to me
Yes he discovered we are truly lovers
Magic from the very start
Cause love just can't we prove
And anytime we move
And even though we danced apart
So we started dancing and love put us into our groove
As soon as we started to move, as soon as we started to move
Love said..
Chorus
He tried pretending our dance is just a dance but I see
He's dancing his way back to me, he's dancing his way back to me
Love said..

Bang, bang !
Could a body close the mind out
Stitch a seam across the eye
If you can be good, you’ll live forever
If you’re bad, you’ll die when you die
Hearing only one true note
On the one and only sound
Unzip my body
Take my heart out
'Cause I need a beat to give this tune
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of
Oh the body swayed to music
Oh the lightning glance
If I would give it all and all
Maybe you would hear me
Ask for half a chance
Hearing only one root note
Planted firmly in the ground
Undo my heart, unzip my body and
Lend to my ear a clear and a deafening sound
Unzip my heart
And if I need a rhythm
It’ll be to my heart I listen
If it don’t get me too far wrong
And if I
And if I
And if I need a rhythm
It’s gonna be to my heart I listen
If it don’t take me too far gone
Everybody smile please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography
Taking a picture of you
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture
Ramalama Bang Bang

FedorV, welcome to MR! Your first song, Hurt, a cover by Johnny Cash, is new to our thread and I have added it to our Playlist (lyrics below). Your second song, 16 Tons, we do have this on our Playlist already!
Track # 74
Song: Hurt
Artist: Johnny Cash
Album: American IV: The Man Comes Around
Composer: Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails)
Year: 2002
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o22eIJDtKho
Lyrics:
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
I've added some songs that the girls are using in their dance classes.
Sara Bareilles is known for her much more upbeat songs like Love Song and Bottle it Up.
Adele has a very unique voice. She actually sings as if she is British!:

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
It rolls in from the sea
My voice; a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light,
To carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love
They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow,
Or so I have been told.
They say were buried far,
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
Cause you're not where you belong;
Inside my arms.
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
I still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change
And life will find a way.
Ill be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
Cause youre not where you belong;
Inside my arms.
This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea.
My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
To carry you to me.

Lyrics:
I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam. I ain't lost, just wandering"
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides
Shows that we ain't gonna stand sh@t
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand sh@t
Shows that we are united
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
Song: Right as Rain
Artist: Adele
Album: 76
Composer: Adkins
Year: 2008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIfy3kQg61o
Lyrics:
Who wants to be right as rain
It's better when something is wrong
You get excitement in your bones
And everything you do's a game
When night comes and your all on your own
You can say I chose to be alone
Who want to be right as rain
It's harder when your on top
Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there aint no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love
Who wants to be riding high
when you'll just crumble back on down
You give up everything you are
And even then you don't get far
They make believe that everything
Is exactly what it seems
But at least when your at your worst
You know how to feel things
See when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there aint no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love
Go ahead and still my heart
To make me cry again
Cause it will never hurt
as much as it did then
When we were both right
And no one had blame
But now I give up
On this endless game
Cause who wants to be right as rain
It's better when something is wrong
i get excitement in your bones
Even thought everything's a strain
When night comes and I'm all on my own
You should know I chose to be alone
So who want to be right as rain
It's harder when your on top
Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there aint no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
I love that song too, and Johnny Cash was a very interesting person. There is a film about him and his wife - "I walk the Line". Very good!
FedorF, you should say not say "One more song of my favourite" but instead "Another one of my favourite songs"
:angel: :good:
