Posted July 8, 2008 Right now I can't stop listening to Regina Spektor's "The Call". So beautiful it almost makes me cry. =) My god, that song is truly wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 8, 2008 My god, that song is truly wonderful. Mmm, yes it is! I almost posted the one with shots from Narnia: Prince Caspian (since this song is from that movie), but I figured not everyone would enjoy seeing the (sexy/cute) faces of some of the actors/actresses in it. =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 8, 2008 On a similar note, Battles offer a kind of intense, structurally surreal take on math/dance rock that really takes you over. It's not the easiest of material but it really, really gets inside your head and takes your mind to a very, very special place. I really can't wait to see Battles live, though I am wondering what the rest of the crowd are going to be like. 2 days left till T In The Park (well for me, we are going on the thursday) and its only now I've started to get pumped. Probably should post in the T thread... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 8, 2008 I also can't recommend LCD Soundsystem highly enough: Their Sound of Silver LP is a melancholy, wistful salute to culture and old friends since gone, beautifully strung together with some of the best ambient rock I've ever heard. Yes! All My Friends...what a song. I heard it in a bar once and just stopped what I was doing, which was breathing, and listened to it. Such a chooon.

Posted July 8, 2008 Thought I might as well give something back, as it were, so this is 'To Build A Home' by The Cinematic Orchestra. It's the song that spawned the Loneliness thread. No, wait, come back! That isn't the official video, just the first one I came across whilst searching the 'Tube. Still, it's rather nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 8, 2008 Umm, and thats his opinion. He never said "I know for a fact it isn't" did he? Yeah, but there wasn't really a purpose to his post either actually. *shrugs* I like the song you posted Aimless. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 8, 2008 To be honest, The Call is Regina's absolute worst song ever. It just looks lyrics-wise like it was a rushed number she forgot she was paid to do, or at least wasn't inspired be. Also, I'd expect Disney wanted something that was "pretty", rather than using her powerful voice/intelligent writing. I heard it in the film (rubbish, btw), and after being intially excited that it was here, was very dissapointed. I'm listening to 11 : 11 in protest against it's crapness. (That said, the way she sings it is quite sad) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 8, 2008 There's a nice section at the end of my itunes of poorly tagged songs which are awesome: Sugar Hill Gang - Rapper's Delight The Temptations - Pappa Was a Rolling Stone Van Morisson - Brown Eyed Girl Classics. 24 minutes of awesome. And 'The Call' was alright. Still have a soft spot for 'Fidelity'. What film was it in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 8, 2008 And 'The Call' was alright. Still have a soft spot for 'Fidelity'. What film was it in? Not sure which you're referring to, but The Call was in Narnia: Prince Crapian and Fidelity I think has been used in a few films/trailers. And I like that song, Aimless.

Posted July 9, 2008 Oh, whoops, I forgot again - in this thread, there is no opinion; only fact! wow. relax, hombre. Umm, and thats his opinion. He never said "I know for a fact it isn't" did he? because he's right. Seriously though, Spektor's done much better. I think she's a great vocalist and song writer but that's just not a great example. oh, and for a truly beautiful song? observe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
