Music and everything

[mechamoose]

Amazon just delivered some of my favorites. "Joyride (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zJrOWJPCD4)" by Tribe. Heck, 'Easter Dinner' is just about about as cool. O+ anyone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJjBrFz9el4)?

My alt self is oscillating between 'squee' and 'cry'

"It's a tell-tale hunger I almost recognize"

followed by The Smiths "How soon is now?"

"You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does"

Just like everybody else does.

Ohhhh. *big sigh*
I absolutely adore the music of The Smiths. Takes me back to being an angsty teen.

"How soon is NOW" was my gay/bi coming out song.

Right place, right time...

(Now listening to NWA and the Dropkick Murphys)

Dave Van Ronk:
"When I came back from Luang Prabang
I didn't have a thing where my balls used to hang
But I got a wooden medal and a fine harangue
Now I'm a hero"

^#$% I love lyrics.

After all the years I've waited to express and transition? "Tell Me When" by the Human League.

If only I could see you
Says the stranger deep inside
And lets you know that when you were
So sure you really lied
If only I could see you
Says the voice within your brain
And quietly, insistently
It says it once again
And then, I really need to know

Tell me when
Will I see you again?
Tell me when
Will I see you again?
Tell me when
Will I see you again?

[mechamoose]

I *love* Human League.

How many of these old songs are 'coming out' songs for us?

What are the modern equivalents?

To hear me weep
"Your day will come indeed
For I am a poor and a wretched boy
A chimbley, chimbley sweep."
- Decemberists


And it's funny how I imagined
That I would be that person now
But it does not seem to have happened
Maybe I've just forgotten how to see
That I am not exactly the person that I thought I'd be
-Amanda Palmer

"There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry"

Who does lyrics like this any more?

Giime an artist. Name one.
