Day 8: A song that mentions the sun or moon

My daughter blames me for her musical tastes. I will take that hit. One of my grandmother's favorite memories was babysitting her on day when the kid was four. She was running around the house singing Cheap Trick. "Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a weird." I remember how proud I was when I caught her singing Anthrax's "For All Kings" under her breath when she didn't think I was listening. She surreptitiously took pictures of what I was playing in the car, and downloaded MCR and The Hooters and Ani Difranco. And for high school softball, they got to chose walk up music. Hers? "Crazy Train." A "Proud Da " moment, in a life of them.

She is eighteen now, and there are things we disagree about as well. She likes her 90's boy bands, and Journey. She hates classical. And we disagree on Panic! at the Disco. Not whether we like them -- we do. But we break on GoodPanic! and BadPanic! She likes the newer stuff, where I enjoyed up to Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! In other words, I like them before they became a solo project. I enjoyed the theatricality and the chances they took when they started. After the huge hit "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," they could have cranked out another album of emo infused pop punk. Others would have. Instead, they put out Pretty! Odd! which fit the name. They took a stab at completely sincere Baroque Pop. And it was lovely. This is "When The Day Met the Night," which is an utterly charming song about the sun and the moon meeting cute and falling in love. It is a lovely bit of quiet pop, and an odd, but enjoyable part, of GoodPanic!

Also, apropos of nothing, I got to name a server room at a place I worked. "Panic! at the Cisco."

"When The Day Met the Night," Panic! at the Disco

My kid rejects anything I play him on principle but if my sister plays the same band he suddenly loves them
And because I used to play the radio while she slept when we were kids I still win because she likes all my stuff

Um... I think it Ran to the Hills. "Video unavailable."

(I can think of a few, so I didn't guess.)

Maybe fixed? I hope.

 

[UnquietDreams]

Maybe fixed? I hope.

Yes! I had a list of them ("Flight of Icarus," "Sun and Steel," "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," etc) so I didn't want to guess.

"Moonchild" is awesome!

Edit to add, in a stern, but kindly voice : "This is why you add the title and band above the video."

 

[vagrantx]

"Moonchild" is awesome!

I love every single album they've made, but the ones with a futuristic sound (like the synths on the Seventh Son and Somewhere In Time albums, or Strange World) are just a step above the rest! Moonchild is incredible.

I don't dislike the later stuff, but to me Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and Powerslave are a trio of almost perfect NWOBHM albums. But when Bruce was in the band, I was listening. I wasn't a big fan of the stuff they did with Blaze.

The albums with Paul and Blaze are a different beasts, yes, but I love them all the same. Como Estais Amigos and Lord of the Flies are incredible and two of my favorite songs.

I don't dislike the later stuff,

Senjutsu is the best album they've put out since Dance of Death! Days of future past, the time machine, and, oh my god, Hell On Earth are absolute masterpieces. I love their slight dip into prog metal!

That was NOT the music I was expecting with that thumbnail! That was lovely!

What a lovely little piece! I've never heard it, but I never really pursued Men Without Hats past their one hit.

Thank you!

Hey they had two hits...plus I had no choice but to be familiar with them. My oldest brother wore out this cassette tape from playing it on repeat.
