Day 12: A song about change

Change by Blind Melon (one of my most favourite songs EVER)

When life is hard,
You have to change

Well played

 

[lavendersilk]

I am not a Foo Fighter's fan. I am not sure why. I should love them. I want to love them. Dave Grohl is one of the coolest humans on earth, and one of my big regrets is that he joined Nirvana after they left Portland, so I never got to see him play, much less meet him. But for some reason, Foo Fighter songs just .... I am not sure. Creep me out? Something like it. It is like an allergic reaction. There is no faster way to have me change the station on my car radio than to have a Foo Fighters song come on. And it pisses me off that I don't know why.

But this song? I like this one. A lot. I love the two acoustic guitar lines. I love the metronome. I love his voice here, and the lyrics are intensely personal. Because I can't stand them, I have never heard it before now. Thank you for this.

You should listen to this whole album: Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. Quite a few more intimate numbers on that album. Grohl has seen his fair share of shit. I'm a bigger fan of Foo than Nirvana...

Actually same. I saw the Foos the other week and I loved them even from way up in the nosebleed seats.
Nirvana were very special of course but the Foos have always been favourites of mine

Don’t change a thing for me.

Day 12: A song about change

The Lightning Seeds - Change

Actually a song about not changing just because people expect you to. To me, the melody does more than the lyrics though. The Lightning Seeds just had a talent for crafting perfect earworms.

Haven't heard this for ages!
And yeah Broudie can write a catchy tune. He'll be living off a certain football songs royalties (not naming due to the one rule) for ever

I saw them in 2018. It was a dream.

Yeah, like the heirs of George Michael and a certain (unbearable) Christmas song.

Day 12- A song about change
I decided to go with a classic from an iconic group

 

[GretaX]

And it was probably the first song to think of for this prompt, hm?

Of course!! The anxiety in posting this was palpable because I wanted to post it and was afraid someone would beat me to the punch. Lol

I saw them in 2000 when they opened for the RHCP

You need to make the change you want in life.

I enjoyed working Nirvana shows, and Kurt was incredibly shy and nice with the crew (though he screamed at the band), but I was never a huge fan. Honestly, I never thought they would take off. (Mother Love Bone should have been the "face of Grunge," but that was not to be.) I was more into The Dharma Bums, Screaming Trees, Heatmeiser and a few others in the Grunge era.

Never liked the song, but it's in the history books as soundtrack to the breathtaking, world changing events of the late eighties.

Day 12: A song about change

This song is about Eminem’s grief, self hatred, addiction, and change—sobriety.
And aside from the subject matter, Eminem is really just a fucking talented rap lyricist. His use of all the different types of rhyme- end, internal, slant (?)- is just so skillful.
Really great track. Worth a listen, IMO, even if you don’t like rap.

Yess! I love this one. And I completely agree, Eminem's in my top 3 when it comes to writers, together with MF Doom and Pase Rock. I can't rank the three though. They're all incredible..

Oh.

Oh god.

Uh... Might be worth a spanking to choose several songs today. But no. I must be strong. I don't know who I'm going to pick. But thanks for giving me a reason to creep on instagram. It's for research, after all.

When he is on, there are few artists who can write, much less rap, with as much skill as Eminem has. His flow is brilliant, and his rhyming schemes show intense poeticism (slant rhyme is a near but not quite rhyme -- "napping at noon" slant rhyming with "snapping at you," for example). His internal rhymes are just fucking brilliant, and the speed of how often he rhymes is unreal. Just skill.

And I love using the sample from Black Sabbath's "Changes" (please don't spank me. Or do spank me--I deserve it), which covers some of the same ground of love and loss. It shows a great understanding of not only his music, but other genres as well.

When he is not on, he literally does Pee-Wee Herman impressions for far too long. But we won't get into that...

Okay. I'm going to take this in a different direction.

There are several different types of attraction... Physical, sexual, mental, spiritual, societal... It can be animalistic, platonic, tender, violent, it can be beautiful and horrible and completely normal.

Set the stage; it's the early naughts. Enter stage left, V. It's Friday, she's clubbing, she's drinking and laughing and dancing. V steps away from the bar and, not knowing herself, she picks a boy and they dance the night away. It's close, he's fine, it's steamy. His hands wander, not uninvited mind you, but something lurches in her mind. She pushes away. Laughs it off. Confusion. Doesn't understand why someone so gorgeous can be so revolting up close.

It wasn't until much later that I was able to put words to my feelings. Attraction doesn't need to be sexual. They're separate entities. But, as Todd so eloquently put it in Scrubs, "The Todd appreciates hot, regardless of gender".

Jason "Timbuktu" Diakité is a human rights activist, a spokesperson for the UN, a rapper, singer, and all around wonderful human being. During the 2015 European migrant crisis he gave a speech on racism which shook the country. "My Passport" as the speech is called, is as powerful as it is beautiful. And so is he. But even though I find him ridiculously gorgeous, I'd never bonk him.
