So I am currently listening to My Boys. For those of you who don't know, when I refer to The Boys, I mean only two possible groups. Not like my Sweetie who seems to exclaim "It's my boys!" with every other song in his repertoire.
No, for me, it is either Tears for Fears or A-ha. Yes, I am a child of the 80s (and 70s). Back off. These were my two favorites back in high school.
The beauty of A-ha? They are still making great music. I know most people haven't kept track of them since Hunting High and Low was released in 1985. But I did. From Stay on These Road through Memorial Beach to Lifelines. And onto the release of Analouge, which is a fantastic album. How many of your old favorites still release good music? I can tell you Tears for Fears' last album was a big letdown. Just heard the latest B-52s. Good but not great. Moby. Disappointing. Scorpions? ok - I admit I haven't heard their new release. Crap. Excuse me.........gotta update my Amazon wish list.......ok.....done.
Anyway, back to topic. I love these guys. Producing good music for over 20 years.
I am listening to this album tonight. It's one of those rare albums that works with whatever mood I am in. Happy. Morose. Just works. Just what I needed this evening.
The first song is Celice. WARNING: Yes, it's a little risque. Not something they would show on MTV. They are European. What do you expect? And yes, he means it literally: "It's in the way you hurt me." You may want to skip to the all-age-friendly second song....
You wouldn't believe me if I told you, but my CD changer and I have a unique relationship. Unique being that we have a "relationship" at all. I recognize it is an inanimate object. Rectangular, black, with 51 lovely slots for my favorite CDs, whichever they happen to be at the moment. I've had it for years. Years. It knows me pretty well by now. I think we are psychically linked.
Tonight, for instance. Out of 51 CDs.......say.....maybe 561 tracks in all.......the "shuffle" function has managed to capture my mood with every song played. No heavy rock. No peppy dance tunes. No long instrumentals.
What is my mood? I couldn't even tell you, but it's somewhere between Vienna Teng, Conjure One, and the soundtrack to Monsoon Wedding. It's currently playing an Aretha Franklin version of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." Shazam.
I know. I've stretched the bounds of credulity and entered the world of the strange. But if you really get to know me, or want to - you will realize I sometimes enter the world of the strange and unusual. "Because I myself am......strange and unusual."
As are many people I know, actually. Here's part of the mood. A good sample from Delerium.
Or how about this one from My Boys. Love them! Plus, this is a pretty cool video.
