You don't really see that I share a lot of 80s on this blog. I am always so confused by the era, not really implying it's pretentious and super campness. However, I find it more repetatitive and very attention seeking. It's like the bandwagon culture right? Remember everyone tried to play an instrument or trying to get into a band. Yeah I find the era simply a shame, although it can be very playful and camp. Every singer looks like they are on some serious drug abuse, not a maybe bad thing for the sound but also tunes are very romantic, chaotic and even psychedelic. In this beautiful Mark Hollis vocal-gasm and Talk Talk synthesizer orgy, we just simple question ourselves in a dramatic way, even though the tune is very fun. So yeah, a chaos but still a delightful one. Gotta be one of those songs should be in your Sunday morning syndrome playlist with a plenty of coffee!

 IAMX is one of those amazing creations by Chris Corner and it has been going around for a while now. His music is so unique and always takes you to a journey, a haunting one. His works are so impactful and his style kept evolving during the years. 

This could be one of his most polished and interesting songs, Imogen adds that very nice female vocals and trapped feeling to the song. Chris' gentle cries and melodically sweet vocals are always on point. This could be my go to song whenever I feel trapped by this monotonous world with full of leeches and sometimes you want to swim forever under the water and stay there.

I usually share not very up-to-date music, so you can discover these gems as I think music is timeless. You can always check their latest works if you want to.

 

It is one of those posts that could go anywhere with this song. I mean it is slighty heartbreaking when you play this song so many times and think to yourself. Why is this so underrated. I guess songs are what they are. You cannot expect them to reach everyone but those couple of people matter. The message is taken. Going to a Town !

 Flashback Playlist

I enter to this high street shop and it starts playing. No it is not actually "Obsessions" that is playing. It was some other song from another forgotten Suede album. However that person makes the playlist for the shop, he probably knows his stuff. I mean c'mon whoever listens to Suede, he definitely is fashionable when it comes to his music taste. Suede gives me glamour, grubby London streets, style and sometimes obsessions. You get so obsessed and you come back to playing their songs.

I feel like in a way my words get lost but still manage to live with the songs on this page.

 Sade is one those hypnotic singer, I even think she has special powers, once listened to it. You will be a fan forever. "No Ordinary Love" is her in my view the most amazing records from Love Deluxe album. Opening strong ballad with crazy guitar riffs in some parts, detached from her previous jazzy style, even though Sade's hypnotizing soul is always there. I just want to be left alone when this song plays. This is not ordinary music and not an ordinary love. When she sings I keep crying, I keep trying for you, you are only left heartbroken. Any love song fans should have this song in their playlist.

This is not a new song review, nor hungry for views-click kinda post. I always thought David Sylvian's music was very pretentious. I'm still wondering if it or not. Nevertheless, you keep listening to them once you put your guard down. I mean sad songs cringe me sometimes but still cannot escape the fact that it's a part of our lives. I do not like to discriminate songs normally saying this is their best. "Ride" is one of those very subtle pop songs that will truly take you on a ride. His voice never sounds this beautiful. The song is truly one of his bests.

You remember the guy who made something completely different from pop music but still somehow pop music. His dark, depressing world wouldn't fit in with what expected from a singer. I know songs about love is kinda very boring. Yes I'm talking about Scott Walker. A masterpiece in its' own field. And there are things you cannot compare sometimes. It tells a story whether you understand it or not. Music as we know can be interpreted in so many different ways. You don't even need to understand the lyrics most of the time. It still has the same impact.

Absolutely mind-blowing vocals of Farmer in the City makes me want more everytime I listen to it. I just feel cold and curious, what comes next. I dare you popular music zombies, you should maybe try this one. I can assure nothing gonna be the same again.

I mean Scott Walker is one of those artist always there for me every time I feel a bit weird. It is not a bad thing specially those weird thoughts make you question about things around you. Never disappoints.

10/10

Don't we all have this problem these days? My perfect go to song on a winter day. I also think the album is one of Chris Corner's best creation. Love it! The song was also used in How to Get Away With Murder TV series.
