Thread: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?

I mentioned the TV Show Glee and they are HOT and exposing lots of songs to a new generation (and races) that would just NEVER hear these songs!!! Each week in one hour they have more songs that you would never thing to combine and it is WORKIN'!! Some are the real deal and some are remakes with the cast from Glee singing them and remixing them.

This week (yesterday) they had:
Bust a Move by Young MC
What a Girl Wants by Christina Aguilera
Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond
Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman
Thong Song by Sisqó of Dru Hill for the Def Soul
I Could Have Danced All Night (Broadway Version from My Fair Lady)

Last week they had Hate on Me which was done by Jill Scott.
You can decide which version you like better.

Here is the Jill Scott version:

Here is the TV Glee version:

Lyrics:
If I could give you the world
On a silver platter
Would even matter
You'd still be mad at me
If I can find in all this
A dozen roses
Which I would give to you
You'd still be miserable
In reality
I'm gon be who I be
And I don't feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may
Break me down when I say

That it ain't up to you
Gon on do what you do

[Chorus:]
Hate on me hater
Now or Later
Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be made baby

(Go head and hate)
Go head and hate on me hater
I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me...

Ooh if I gave you peaches
Out of my on garden
And I made you a peach cobbler
Would you slap me out?
Wonder if I gave you diamonds
Out of my on womb
Would you feel the love in that
Or ask why not the moon
If I gave you sanity
For the whole of humanity
Had all the solutions for the pain and pollution
No Matter Where I live
Despite the things I give
You'll always be this way
So go ahead and ...

[Chorus x2]

You Cannot...
Hate On me
Cause my mind is free
Feel my destiny
So Shall it Be
[Repeat x2]
[Chorus]

I love it when it all comes together!

Okay, Lampada has been posting about MUSE since like... FOREVER!!! Back on August 1st, I mentioned on her thread about their new album 'The Resistance' and the single "Uprising." Then on the Film Thread the other day I mentioned the remake of the TV series "V" that is coming out soon. Yesterday, I saw a commercial for the series not once, but twice. In the background the girls and I heard this song and we were like "Wait a minute... what is that song? We know it." It took me until the second time to figure out that the song playing in the background is....you guessed it.... "Uprising"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr2sETqQ68U "V" Commercial

"Uprising" is currently:
#64 on Billboards Top 100 (and one of the songs with the greatest airplay and sales gains this week)
#6 on Billboards Top Rock Songs
#55 on Billboards Top Digital Songs
#1 on Billboards Top Alternative Songs
#38 on Billboards Top European Hot 100
#62 on Billboards Top Canadian Hot 100

For those of you who have not heard this great song, and here are a couple of links to the video and one to the full song... and of course... with the lyrics!

Lyrics:

The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
The transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around

Another promise, another scene, another
A package not to keep us trapped in greed
With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take it's toll if you could
Flick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
We should never be afraid to die

Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Could it be????

Could I have fix our Playlist problems???

As we share most of the songs via YouTube, I just created a Playlist ON YouTube!!! It was rather easy as most of the links were already here in this thread!! I just tried to make certain they were links NOT from the major music companies so the videos would work for everyone.

So, here is the link to the Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...C164D49720CD70 You can select Play All Videos, Skip to Next Song, and Randomize.

Here are all the songs I could find on YouTube we have been discussing here on the thread and are NOW on this NEW Playlist. IF you cannot play any of them, please let me know which ones and see if from the title and the length of the song you can find a version on YouTube which works for you and paste that link here in the thread and I will update the Playlist with THAT version. Now IF this works.... going forward when anyone has a song they want to share with the group, please try to find it on YouTube and paste the link in your posting. I will then add it to the Playlist. If it is a really new song or one not on YouTube...well... we still have to work that one out.:

We seem to be into the more hard rock/heavy metal grove... how about some Deep Purple!!

From 1974 "Mistreated." I added two versions of the song to the "new" Playlist. One a live version and one the studio version from the album "Burn."

Lyrics:

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.

I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

ooh o-o-oh
ooh o-o-oh
ooh o-o-oh
ooh o-o-oh
ooh o-o-oh
ahh-ahh-ahh
ahh-ahh-ahh
ahh-ahh-ahh
ahh-ahh-ahh

I've been losing my mind.

I like that drift. Come to think of it, it must be really hard or heavy, but I, for one, [s:15lvenpa]have[/s:15lvenpa] did not see[s:15lvenpa]n[/s:15lvenpa] it as such, it was just a good song. What labels it had attached to it[s:15lvenpa]self[/s:15lvenpa] didn’t matter to me at all.

I like that drift. Come to think of it, it must be really hard or heavy, but I, for one, have not seen it as such, it was just a good song. What labels it had attached to itself didn’t matter at all.

Alex.. your sentences bothers me and as my head is also bothering me this morning so I am not at 100% brain power (as if I am ever at 100% to begin with) to really be certain what it is that's wrong or how to fix it. Robin/Johanna? I know the part "have not seen it as such" could be "did not see it as such" but the part about "it must be really hard or heavy" you are loosing me with that. Are you trying to say that "Come to think of it, the song must really have been hard rock or heavy metal; but, I never really saw it that way. To me, it was just a good song. Whatever labels it had attracted or were attached to it, didn't matter to me at all.

Finally, I got you to participate Ya know.. I do have one of the "The Best of Deep Purple" CD's.

I also have a boat load of AC/DC stuff:
Back in Black
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Highway to Hell
Gimme a Bullet
Safe In New York City
American Woman
Ballroom Blitz

And then there is Def Leppard:
Did you ever hear their version of Rock On? The one that was made famous by David Essex?
I can only find it with copyrights... otherwise I would post a link to it

So... any of those strike your fancy?? Want any to be added to the Playlist or lyrics posted? Or do you have something else you would like to share with the class?

Dudes, Peeps, Compadres, (insert favorite slang term)... I just received the next song from the girl's dance teacher and OMG this song just ROCKS!

It is a guitar instrumental, Diablo Rojo by Rodrigo y Gabriela from the album Diablo Rojo. I found a live version and the music video for the album version. On the live version Gabriela explains that it is a tribute to a roller coaster and the crazy looping shapes.

Both versions have been added to the Playlist

Now the Music Video version is AMAZING (which for Johanna means "BRILLIANT") and right before the 2 minute mark, "Baby, you ain't in Kansas no more!!"

For those older American's out there or those who know their American cultural expressions... This song and video are IMHO, "an E Ticket Baby!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KBgg-hrtyo 1st link to Music Video Version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FXOd97CtnQ 2nd link to Music Video Version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lvMQCmUVv8 Live Version

As it-ogo went to all the trouble of writing the lyrics ... might as well post them here and add the songs to the Playlist!!

From the new Slot (Слот) album 4ever

4еловек-паук - Spiderman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDJbCOCy-4Q

Висит на стене
He hangs on the wall
На пальцах, без страховки
By his fingers, with no belay
Влез на забор
He climbed on the fence
Ну нереально ловкий
So incredibly dexterous
Прыгнул в окно
Jumped to the window
Оттуда на скульптуру
From there - to the sculpture
Ясно одно
Definitely
4ел заболел паркуром
The guy caught a parkour-fever
У мамы шок
Mom is shocked
Реально
Indeed
Он заболел паркуром
He caught a parkour-fever
У папы шок
Dad is shocked
Реально
Indeed
Он заболел паркуром
He caught a parkour-fever
У Лены шок
Lena is shocked
Реально
Indeed
Он заболел паркуром
He caught a parkour-fever

Зато архитектуру знает вдоль и поперёк
But he knows the architecture all along
Я ужас, летящий на крыльях но4и
I am the horror flying on the wings of night
Я медиатор судьбы
I am the mediator of fate
Я Альфа и Омега этого мира
I am the Alpha and Omega of this world
Я кру4е, 4ем 4еловек-тапок
I am more cool then slipperman
У кого 10 ног, 10 рук
Who has 10 feet and 10 hands

Мой лу4ший друг - 4еловек-паук
My best friend is a spiderman
Для кого стопицот километров не крюк
One hudred five hundred km. is not a problem for him
Мой лу4ший друг - 4еловек-паук
My best friend is a spiderman
А кто кандидат стенолазных наук
And who has a PhD in wall-climbing
Мой лу4ший друг - 4еловек-паук
My best friend is a spiderman
Это не терминатор и не физрук
He is neither terminator nor body-builder

4ёрную Смерть
Black Death
Привёл в прокуратуру
He brought to the prosecutor's office
Гоблина сдал
He (arrested) goblin
Зелёного с обкуру
Who was green because of the marijuana
Всех победил
He won everybody
Испортил маникюр
He spoiled his manicure
А повод один
The only reason is
Паркур, ещё паркур
Parkour, more parkour

У мамы шок
Mom is shocked
Супермен
Superman
Паркур без перекура
Parkour with no rest
У папы шок
Dad is shocked

Паркур без перекура
Parkour with no rest
У Светы шок

Паркур без перекура

А вдруг он супервумэн… под костюмом не понять
Maybe he is superwoman... The costume doesn't allow to recognize

Смотри - в потолке открывается люк
Look, a hatch opens on the ceiling
Мой лу4ший друг - 4еловек-паук
My best friend is a spiderman
Это правда реально, это не глюк
It is really true it is not a hallucination

Uffff... Got boring.

Вампирская - Vampire's song (Literally: "Vampirish")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGRFlvMpiq8

Мрак срезал крылом
Слона и ферзя
Мой голый король
Убит взглядом
Ну и поделом
Я знал, 4то нельзя
Но о4ень хотел
Быть рядом с тобой

Я призрак в но4и
Без права на свет
В плену долгих лет
И голода
Кровь тоже кри4ит
И пла4ет в ответ
Когда её нет
Так холодно
... мне о4ень холодно
... мне о4ень холодно
... мне в этом ве4ном огне

Теперь ты в группе риска
Мой загнанный
Ты подошёл так близко
Я тигр, а не киска
Осталось заманить мне тебя к себе домой
И там убить

Я умираю, 4тобы жить
Я кровь теряю, 4тобы пить
Я всех бросаю, 4тобы быть с тобой

Вдох, сладкая смерть, оргазм и испуг
Внизу кровь кипит, вверху стынет
И не вырваться из оскаленных рук
Когда моя тень тебя обнимет

Ля-ля - La-la

Вновь повтори, как ты ску4ал
Как перенёс минуты разлуки
И расскажи, о 4ём ты мол4ал
Когда держал меня нежно за руки

Мне каждое слово так ново

Все слова это только слова
Будто летит с веток листва
И E-2 они могут помо4ь
Описать этот день [И!!!] эту но4ь
Всё слова это только слова
Опять 25, или там 2х2
Ля-ля тополя, потом "суп с котом"
Но всё не туда, не так, не о том…

Ты не звонил и не писал
Уже пол 4аса… наверно работа
Но мне надо знать и ты должен сам
Сказать, как видеть меня охота

Так слово за слово
Всё снова

Как рассказать тебе про любовь
Не говоря слов розы, слёзы, морковь
4тобы вспомнила кровь тот 100-градусный бред
И самые главные слова - "слов нет"
А есть прикосновения разрядами тока
Взгляды, подёрнутые пеленой-поволокой
Придыхание прибоем о борт корабля...
А тебе бы только ля-ля-ля

I translated Вампирская to German the other day, I'll just whip up an English version. However, native speakers might notice mistakes (I'm sure there are lots), please point them out!

By the way, actually there's the text to the song Ля ля in the last message, too.

The vampiric one (a female vampire)

The gloom cuts with wings
The elefant and the queen (beats me what the elephant is doing here, may be a mistake)
My naked king
Kills with a glance
Serves him (?) right, too
I knew I wasn't allowed
But I wanted so much
to be with you

I'm a ghost in the night
Without a right to light
Captured by long years
And hunger
The blood is screaming
And weeps for an answer
When she's not there
So cold
I'ms o cold
I'm so cold
I in this eternal fire

Now you're in the risk group
My tired hero
You came so close
I'm a tiger, not a pussycat
It remained for me to lure you back home to me
And there to kill

I am dying to live
Losing blood to drink
Leave all behind to be with you

Breath, sweet death, orgasm and fear
Down there the blood is boiling, above it's cooling
And not to break out from empty hands
When my shadow engulfs you

And while I'm at it, here's another favourite of mine from the new album by Слот, hopelessly mistranslated by myself:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZETlqxS3Svk

Зеркала
Ночь
От стены к стене
Я иду в забытом сне
Туда...
В поиске себя
Где-то тут была
Потеряла - не нашла
Звала... всё звала...

В свете дня я закрашу чёрным зеркала
Всё равно в них нет меня
Так я буду верить, что жива
Пусть это и не так

Так [тик – так - тик]
Стрелки где-то спят [в ряд, в ряд]
Не идут и не стоят [таят]
Их нет [как нет]
Циферблат пустой [постой - постой - постой]
Некуда идти [иди, иди]
К новой пустоте лети [прости]
А нас [для нас]
Не спасти

Mirrors
Night
From wall to wall
I walk in a forgotten dream
There to...
On the search for myself
I was somewhere there
I lost - didn't find
I called - I called all (or: I called 'enough')

In the light of day I paint the mirrors dark
No matter I'm not in them
So I'll believe I'm alive
Even if it is not so

So [tick, tock, tick...]
The hands (of a watch) are sleeping somewhere [in a row]
Don't walk and don't stand still [hide]
They are gone [like nothing]
The face (of the watch) is empty [wait, wait] ('Zifferblatt' is a loan word from German. Cool... )
There's nowhere to go [go, go]
To the new emptiness of the year [pardon]
But us / ours [for us]
Don't fall

The parts in brackets are like echoes in Russian, forming different but similar sounding words.

Robin, I added your Слот song to the playlist as well and hopefully someone will come along and help you with the translation!

The next song is currently Billboard's #1 song on their Hot 100 Chart AND #1 on their Digital Songs Chart... It was released in JULY!

Owl City's - Fireflies

In the video there are really old toys.. how many did you have as a kid?? I actually had the Speak and Spell growing up and we bought a used one for hubby to practice English spelling!

Lyrics:
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and
Stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach my how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock-hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)
[x2]

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary
It’s in my car where, if ever, I listen to the music, on FM radio, and they rarely inform their listeners what they play, so I have to bite the bullets and wait long till the truth comes out as to who’s singing what. Just recently I’ve finally found out that the band I’ve been trying to know the name of is called Jamiroquai, though maybe I’ve been trying not hard enough, all I had to do was type cosmic girl in Google and there would have been my long awaited band. Anyway I often don’t know who is who. There were many whose music I liked, Deep Purple among them too, but the all time favorites are The Queen. Not that I listen to them often, I’d say hardly ever nowadays, just the impact they once had on me have never been matched.
P.S. I somehow missed Def Leppard, I mean I didn’t have the honor of meeting them when I should have. The access to western music was very limited then.

ROBIN maybe you can help with a few songs from Def Leppard?? I'll ask hubby too as they are "his" taste more than mine

No, Def Leppard was never among my faves.

Here's something I like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMHQQvBs6o4

What can I say, I like it gloomy...

Type O Negative - Everything dies

Well I loved my aunt - but she died
and my uncle Lou - then he died

I'm searching for something which can't be found - but I'm hoping
I still dream of dad - though he died

Everything dies - everything dies

My ma's so sick - she might die
though my girl's quite fit - she will die

Still looking for someone who was around - barely coping
now I hate myself - wish I'd die

Everything dies - everything dies
everything dies - everything

No why - oh god I miss you
no why - oh god I miss you - I really miss you
no no no no

No why - oh god I miss you
no why - oh god I miss you - I really miss you

Everything dies - everything dies
everything dies - everything - no no no no

Everything dies - everything dies
everything dies - everything

Nope... I think you have a hair issue.... let's see, who has better hair? Peter Steele or Nuno Betancourt (formerly of) Extreme? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viQWJUoRG50

I must admit... just reading the lyrics was very entertaining!!!

UPDATE...
Younger daughter says... "Emo much?"
For those of you not familiar with "Emo" you can learn all about it here, but be certain to watch the video all the way because the outtakes at the end are VERY funny!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9onvD6CkCvc

Gotta love the EMO song!!
E is for emotional, ruins everybody's day
M is for miserable people
O is for on the darkside, 'cuz we have some fresh cookies. COOKIES! Wow!

Just for fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMqTK...eature=related

I actually used to know the singer in Jamiroqai (his real name is Jay). He's a very funny guy, very smart and deep. He happened to live very close to my house. I lost touch with him after I moved though, but I think he still lives in the same place and still works as a musician. He got into some trouble with the police though, about hashish.

His biggest hit is Virtual Insanity --- quite old now. That whole album was very good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q936lXxQPTA

Explanation: Virtual can mean two different things, virtual as in "virtual reality" (=online, electronic world), and "virtual" as the opposite to "actual". So this is a word-play. The song is about the world being too hooked on electronic gadgets.

I have know idea why he sings in American accent, when he speaks he sounds 100% English.

"VIRTUAL INSANITY" LYRICS
Oh yeah what we're living in (let me tell ya)
It' a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big
That should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us.
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see, I can't breathe
No more will we be
And nothing's gonna change the way we live
Cuz we can always take and never give
And now that things are changing for the worse,
See, it's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these

Futures made of virtual insanity
now always seem, to be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh now there is no sound for we all live underground

And I'm thinking in what a mess we're in
Hard to know when to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother can choose the color of her child
That's not nature's way
Well that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
I think it's time I found a new religion
Whoaaa it's so insane to synthesize another strain
There's something in these futures that we have to be told.

Futures made of virtual insanity
now always seem, to be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting of our then new technology
Oh now there is no sound for we all live underground

Now there's no sound if we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad, I know yeah
(Bridge)
Oh, this virtual insanity, we're living in,
Has got to change, yeah
Things will never be the same
And I can't go on
While we're living in oh, oh virtual insanity
Oh, this world has got to change
Cos I just, I just can't keep going on, it was virtual,
Virtual insanity that we're living in, that we're living in
That virtual insanity is what it is

Okay, I found another copy of the video... if the one Johanna posted does not work for you, try this one.

I happened to listen to some albums with covers of Vysotskiy songs that had been translated into Swedish... The translations are SOOOO good. It's like it was the original langauge. I just love it. What a poet he was!

I have never listened to him in Russian though, but soon I will. He's like Leonard Cohen or maybe Bob Dylan, but much better, much smarter, I think, and the topics of his songs are more relevant.

@Bitpicker do you know about Vysotskij? Have you heard any good covers of him in German? Lots of Swedish and Finnish artists have done covers of him and it wouldn't surprise me if there are some great covers in German too - bigger language! (To be honest, who cares about Swedish covers, let's find some in a language that at least some people here can understand) I looked for German covers on Youtube but I couldn't find any.

Do people in Russia still listen to him? Are there any artists there doing covers of his songs or do you listen to the originals? Can you recommend a good Russian collections of his songs?

HAHA Rockzmom, stop your "copyright infringement" at once you naughty girl! PS - can you explain "virtual" a bit better than I did...?
