What Are You Listening to?

[KevinStriker]

Here's something unique:

The Road Warrior (and Beyond Thunderdome but whatever) was announced on 4K UHD this past week, and as a result I've revisited the movie three times this week, as well as found the soundtrack to download.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for hard stuff (and this is one of their harder songs, if not the hardest), but this is easily one of Foo's best songs IMO, right up there with Everlong, The Pretender and My Hero.

Saw Modest Mouse play live last month and man do they give one hell of a live performance. Their live music is more rock-heavy believe it or not. They’ve become my favorite band over time- the lyrics and music just hit different the older I get haha.

The guitar playing at 2:25 gets me every time.

This threads aged well

Got a super good deal on a new pair of speakers (Sony SS-CS5), so I've been listening to lots of different genres of music as well as movies to get a good feel for them and tone adjust them as necessary. So here's just one song I used:

 

[Ikawaru]

Sure let's do some 80's

 

[Murderer Enshrined]

MellowYellow, I love your song selections

 

[Ikawaru]

I got a whole bunch of these

Thanks (no)BoobToob

 

[Murderer Enshrined]

I got some tracks I'd like to share

Just some sounds from my youth that always take me back

 

[Murderer Enshrined]

I grew up listening to Rush and Iron Maiden

Here's some Rush

Here's some Iron Maiden

 

[Ikawaru]

I love this bass line by Rush, and the song it good, too, but I'm not really sure what they're talking about

 

[Murderer Enshrined]

This is a song I really like. I really didn't understand the meaning of it, until I heard what had happened with Neil Peart.

Neil Peart lost his wife and daughter within the same year. It was obviously tough going for him and his loved ones.

So, as he always used to do, he penned down lyrics to express and describe his feelings.

The next song you're about to listen to is the product and culmination of that experience.

Many years later, Neil Pear died of brain cancer, at least, that's what I was told.

Today I learned that this song has the dubious honour of being the (second) lowest charting song to ever win "Record of the Year" at the Grammys.

A shame, because it's excellent and would have deserved more success as a single. I can feel such a palpable sadness in the lyric "She said losing love is like a window in your heart..."

 

[Murderer Enshrined]

This is my favorite Paul Simon song:

 

[Murderer Enshrined]

I love this song and video so much

Picked up a DVD compilation of Billy Joel's music videos for $3 in a thrift store, and the live video accompanying this song is one of the hidden gems of the whole thing. Gave me a whole new appreciation for the album track.

 

[Murderer Enshrined]

That's awesome. I know how to play that song on acoustic guitar.....

EDIT:

I love listening to Billy Joel when dinner time approaches.....

 

[Murderer Enshrined]

I was checking out Billy Joel videos and came across this:

I guess that's what happens when you make TOO much money?

Kind of reminds me of this:

 

[Ikawaru]

A classic of a classic of a classic.
