Some good music.

If your heart doesn't break hearing this, die in a fire, and pray that any who mourn you have the soul you lack earn their place in heaven.
Am partial to a bit of Larger than Life, and know other instrument users who still carry the torch for the track to this day as it a banger on an acoustic lol
(Don't ask why they look like they were just delivered on the matrix shopping floor tho)

This voice sounds like the Anthony guy I keep forgetting last name of when trying to find their music. The Johnsons? Was attacked by some scandal-ridden homophobic south African music stars at one point, also can't recall their name but were on a ubisoft in-game soundtrack, wtf...ah, websearch just informed they're Anohni and the Johnsons after some name changing occured.

Faithless been listening to on more appreciated level, the reverence album is timeless but gets overlooked cause their most famous sound was literally the last 2 minutes of a moody atmospheric 8-9 minute journey so they were just seen as that club sound. But they're so much more than that.

Don't know who the fck Angeline is but she (allegedly) been places you never been.
Uh, opera, why not.
The full length track no radio would ever have played. Bastards.
One of my favs from this era of dance music. Fucking great song.
So I guess you could say, the music has come full circle?
I'll just show myself out . . . .
Going old school chill. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the '90s.

I had "Hey Ya" stuck in my head and had to listen to it this morning. Not that one though... this one.
And somehow in an entertainment news report yesterday, there was a story about an Oasis reunion. And that led to me getting their cover of Quiet Riot's "Cum on Feel the Noize" stuck in my head. I was initially pretty happy that The Blanks managed to replace that.
So...ever read the Odyssey? Well, I just found out that apparently some guy decided to make a sung-through musical adaptation of it, entitled Epic: the Musical (playlist here). As of this posting, it spans 30 songs (and counting), and covers the timeline of the story from the end of the Trojan War to Athena petitioning Olympus to let Odysseus return home after 7 years on Calypso's island. And you know...it's pretty good, covering a fair bit of stylistic and tonal range. Quick sampling (I'll be linking animatics because...well, musical. It's storytelling that's presumably intended to have a visual component):
Upbeat and whimsical from Aeolus (Pop-rock, I want to say?)
Gritty and outraged from Poseidon. (theatrical Rock, maybe some metal in it?)
Zeus...honestly that feels like a straight up villain song (Orchestral, I think i hear some electronic in the instruments)
And then Calypso of course gets a romantic ballad...that leads right into Odysseus's medley of reprises to convey the abject guilt and despair that have been building up over the course of the story.
Plus...they're just plain catchy. So props to the folks involved.

This song titled "Prisencolinensinainciusol" by Italian singer Adriano Celentano is complete gibberish, but meant to sound like an American accent. That interesting fact aside... it's actually pretty damned catchy.
(But is this what we really sound like to nonnative English speakers?)

It's about as comprehensible as a good number of '60s and '70s American songs, I can tell you that.
Most of the music I listen to (electronic music) doesn't have lyrics, and it drives my girlfriend crazy. She says my music is repetitive and "pointless" without lyrics to give it meaning. That absurdity aside, she "allowed" me to play a song to test out a new speaker her brother gifted us; she said pick one of your favorite songs and blast it. I played this song, and about 30 seconds in, she commented that "THIS was good" while she was trying to decipher the all-important "meaning" to the words. It was a mini mic drop when I informed her there were no words; it was complete gibberish, and she liked it, so she can no longer tell me words give music purpose.
It has that sorta sound, yeah...but a lot of songs after that aren't terrible comprehensible either, which isn't a bad thing as often the lyrics seem terrible when you can make out what people are saying.
Hoping to see the recent film as trailer looks mad, but meanwhile;

The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet was identified a couple days ago. I don't think it's a particularly good song, but it's a fun story.
