MoogleViper Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 What is this thread? With the exception of the first reply there's no rating going on.
Frank Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 This came up randomly on my i-pod the other day. So genuinely impressed It was my 1st time hearing it and being in a little bit of absent-mindedness I expected a "typical" Beatles song. *I was wrong* The fact that I was alone, walking along a dark street gave it so much more impact.
chairdriver Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Gloria - Patti Smith You're pierced by the directness of the opening line. Then you're swept along for a whole 6 minutes by its building energy. It's one of those rare times when someone bothers to do conventional music well; it doesn't stray from what we're used to, but still manages to shock and stun. 9.6
Ramar Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 And by shock you mean invent the weirdest way of saying name and me at around 3:00?
chairdriver Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Congratulations for making the most inane comment possible.
Ramar Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Congratulations for making the most inane comment possible. It's probably just meh-hay but I could nay-hame a few other issues.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Seen the others in the same collection, Moogle?
MoogleViper Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Seen the others in the same collection, Moogle? I've seen a few. None have been as good as A Glorious Dawn though.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 The original and best and all that. I do love the others as well, though. Great series.
chairdriver Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Commander - Kelly Rowland I think this is one of the greatest pop performances of all time. It's so direct. It's so powerful. It's so unassuming, but so confident in its own abilities. "No fear, no doubt, I'll provide the answer" Normally I'd maintain that the likes of David Guetta would detract, but it almost feels like Kelly's said "Get me someone to play a track. I need to sing this song." Kelly Rowland periodically appears from the darkness and unleashes a Solar Beam, and then she shrinks back into the shadows, with a smile playing across her lips, knowing she is the only one who would dare fight Beyonce in a duel. 9.8 Edited March 8, 2011 by chairdriver
Frank Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 It just feels so layered, so unpredictable. I...somehow am in love with this song. The beginning mmm mm mm mmm mm mmm mm How she changes the chorus to a more powerful "happiness" by the end is lovely 8.0/10
Coolness Bears Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 This song is genius. It speaks to me on a level that no other song ever has or ever will. It's like I've been in a coma for 20 years and I've just woken up with a raging hard on that's trying to tell the world that "I'VE GOT TO HAVE CEREAL!". There is no going back for me. I have made it. By the time she gets to the part where she has to decide where she wants to sit in the car I'm almost in tears. You can see the hidden textures in her eyes that are saying to me that I no longer want to feel this way. HOLD ME CLOSE. Then after an intense 2 seconds it fades out to the next scene showing us that she is content with her life. In her car. blissful. It's at this point I lose myself fully and just let the lyrics wash over me like a miniature walrus thrashing about in a bidet. I fall onto the tips of my elbows weeping tears from every orifice but then I remember that she's by my side and that everything will be wholesome because It's Friday!

Paj! Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I heard that Rebecca Black song the other day! AMAZING. I have no words to describe it. "Which seat will I take?" - important teen issues dealt with.
drahkon Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Bonaparte - Too Much Hedonism! Yes. While this song is incredibly simple and annoying I find it addictive. They'll be in Cologne next month and I want to see them so badly, but no one - seriously no one - I know thinks Bonaparte is good. Fucking idiots. I might even go to the gig by myself. Too Much/10 Bonaparte - Computer In Love Great lyrics. Amazing video. I love this tune. Computer watching you, computer in love. I'm your glory-hole to the universe. Zero One One Zero One One One/10 Edit: Something related to the world ending bla Bonaparte - Blow It Up Audio Edited March 14, 2011 by drahkon
Dante Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I am addictive to these songs at the moment. (10/10)
ipaul Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 The title perfectly fits the song. This is awesome.
Frank Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Maaaan, so much better. I lurve this too much, the bridge is the best. I feel the groove. I am drunk -- on LIFE! Or somethin' else, friend. : Put your hands on me...John F. Kennedy Edited March 18, 2011 by Frank
