Never would have Ronnie and Gary imagined that one hour of chitchat and stories about women in their life would create an almighty rock classic.
What makes a song blow your mind away? I ponder...
Hardly ever I've encountered myself with a tune that's mind-grasping, heartbreaking, yet masterfully written and emotionally endearing. Emotionally endearing. That's the point I'm trying to make with this entry.
It's not the complex structure. It's not the never-ending music academy pompous solos. It's not even the rhythmic, danceable connection with our bodies.
For me a good song [ depending on the mood off course :o) ] is the one written with your own blood and suffering, telling your story in so little words. It's the song that speaks to you and connects with the emotional stage your going through in your life. Plus, an outraging performance also helps!
Have you ever cringed at the sound of a tune?
You probably have... But how long does the sensation last?
I've found myself disliking songs that I used to worship. Let's call it Radiohead's Creep, Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World, or Ugly Kid Joe's Cats in the Craddle.
The trick here is this: **If you find that one song, don't play it too often, otherwise it will lose the magic** I know it's hard, but it's a way to do it
For me, these are (my seasonal) songs from the heart:
1. Two-headed Boy (Neutral Milk Hotel)
2. Simple Man (Shinedown. Sorry Lynyrd)
3. Songs for JPL (Noir Desir)
4. Hate Me (Blue October)
5. The Wolf (Miniature Tigers)
Just listen to the sensibility impregnated in the songs above and give me your list. After all, it's a very personal point of view.
