For tonight. I'm digging up tunes I have found that I liked, if they didn't fit the or a particular theme or notion, or quite right. Well, assuming I otherwise liked them. Sometimes I run through hundreds of songs and videos looking for... just the right ones. Sometimes I find the pieces as if by magic. Oddly, but my search parameters more often than not lead me astray, but a chance viewing of something that just looks interesting will find what I was looking for. Rarely directly. One link leads to another to another to another. When I find it I have often forgotten what I was looking for until it hits me like a hammer. It's a fun game though.
This group starts off light, continues mostly light, by my standards, then hits a bit more of the heavy rock. Enjoy or not, not my problem.
This first, well... How not to love? How to love if love lost is preferred? It is a way. And while young, if male, it seems the way, especially in these times. But the musical style is a wonderful blend of new and old, with gothic thematics thrown in for flavor.
This one was just interesting. Oh, there are notions in there. But the interplay of arts, song perhaps even a minor form of modern opera, theatrics a bit, and of course video. Plus, you aren't likely to see or hear it in the mainstream of... anything. A little joy for those with a darker... understanding.

This last is a bit heavier, but more like harder rock than not. It is simply an interesting minor tale unfolded in music and video. Although I must say, I would suggest that I am seeing the very signs indicated. People know it's going wrong and are looking for clues everywhere. Most aren't starting in the right place so cannot find the right answers. Dead ends and false starts litter the highway to hell. Atlantis, sentient aliens, or "magic" are not going to save anyone. Look, if you must, but I can tell you this at the start, some dead ends are final.
Just... giving some play to songs I enjoyed but have no other place to showcase.
Cool collection of diverse tunes. Just trying to distract myself here .. My back is killing me.
ReplyDeleteGlad I can help. Sometimes I see ditties that just don't fit or quite make the cut. Although the middle one, by Epica, would make the cut it just didn't quite fit anything. Darkness, pain, but hope and redemption too. And, a bit of my male voiced anger at some things medical, and political/social/civil. The most recent new vids, the 3-man quartet, those are just a fluke of novelty... Not really my thing.
ReplyDeleteThe Epica, though, is like... a... hmm... a thought burrito! Plus it is amazing in other aspects. Uhrm, in my humble (or not so, sorry) opinion.
Hey, uhrm, tend that pain. It's the only thing I've really learned in all of my illnesses, of a medical and mental natures. If pain exists and is allowed, everything is tainted by it. Albeit, the least is best approach is wise. I usually can't feel pain, but when I do and it's lasting enough to get around to it, 1200-2000 mg aspirin. Not supposed to use anything else anymore, with my other medicines. Uhrm, not a recommend though. I'm probably 3 times your weight.
The onlynthingnincan take right now is Tylenol or the loopy drug. Antiinflammatories are out of the question right now since I'm awaiting surgery.
ReplyDeleteNah, you are not 3 times my weight.
I'm going to look at epica again. When I first commented the Tylenol had not kicked in yet. I was feeling rather weenie.
It's odd how various things can change your perception. Pain of course, but being a bit tired, or just waking up and not wanting to face something. There are a whole host of qualifiers. Then to, a couple of hearings/watchings can end up making sense of something, or just growing on you. Often I will bookmark something and sometimes never like it but sometimes I will figure out why I saved it. Storm the Sorrow was just one of those that was saved, but not initially liked or understood. I may just be in the mood for it. Mood can be king.
ReplyDeleteUhrm, I prefer Tylenol. As to weight? I think there are different values for different matter. My guess is, even if I am not triple, I am effectively triple due to what I am made of. A glass of wine you say? A case and a fifth, maybe two, in the right company.
Careful now. Beautiful, though, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteJust another. Trust me.
