Added two songs from my childhood fave movie, Streets of Fire. The songs are "Nowhere Fast" and "Tonight is what it means to be young". Produced in the year I was born, I remember watching this on SBC (yes it was THAT long ago haha). My family loves it, we taped it, and now we have the DVD *grins from ear to ear*. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did :)
Edit: To clarify interpretation, we have had the DVD for quite awhile now, at least a year or two (I think). It's not a recent procurement, contrary to what the sentence above suggests ;p
You gotta love this song. haha. Added it on my playlist. Removed Piece of Heaven though. Also added Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang. Bad Touch is commonly known as the discovery channel song. You'll understand why when you hear it haha
You guys have heard the song "Handlebars" by Flobots. If you guys didn't catch the meaning the 1st time round, listen carefully. I didn't catch any meaning at all till I decided to dig deeper. But you have to sense that this is a song with a message. And indeed it is.
This is a video response, awesomely done, on Flobots original version of Handlebars. It's a little different from the one they recorded with Universal Republic Records, which is also the one you're hearing on air nowadays and the one I have on my blog. This should explain the lyrics clear as day.
This is their music vid done with Universal Republic Records. Awesome. Pictures truly speak a thousand words.
A summary. This song is anti-government. It shouts out against the concentration of power gathered at the hands of a few. And what might befall all of us should those few go astray, or grow too big to keep in check. We are but a few, but together, we are many. I am not anti-government, but I feel people should understand this song more. It's sad when people put down this song as utter gibberish and totally meaningless when it's not. Here's to all you people out there. Listen and learn. Wake up from your hypnosis. The time is now.
Interesting point to note. Universal Republic Records' vid is not allowed to air in Singapore. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuK2A1ZqoWs click this link and you'll understand. It's only this link, as all the others work at the moment. I found it strange. Could it be an issue of copyright? Or something more sinister? hmm... I wonder.
====================================
About friends. Have you ever heard a song and thought "Hey.. reminds me of XYZ.." ? well, I have. And I'll list two that I can think of this very moment. "Starlight" - Muse : Edwin Seah "Sexy Back" - Justin Timberlake : Mark Cheong
There's a new addition to my blog! Introducing... my Imeem Playlist!! To mark this memorable day, I shall list the songs available for your listening pleasures. They are, in no order of merit:
Monty Oum created this. It's awesome. For those of you who love Dead or Alive, or those of us (yeah me me!) who love Final Fantasy, this one's for you. Intro-ed by Noel from a Internet thread he posted on a forum.
Also, here's the music video of Dacav5's Tetris. Honestly, the vid ain't fantastic, but it's a nice song that has been lost for awhile.. Nice to have it back in my head haha
