Torn (Official Video)

This was literally played to death over the radio during basic training in the Navy. Along with Madonna "Frozen" and the Manic Street Preachers "If you tolerate this, your children will be next."

I vividly remember trying to frantically iron a boiler suit to fit an A4 sheet of paper template, at 4am for an inspection, to the soundtrack of "Torn", lol.

I don't know why, but this gives me shivers.

I love this album!

I heard a story about the band. This album was such an iconic sound, it rocketed to the top of the charts. With their success, the band decided to get new equipment. They sold all of their old stuff and bought new. When their second album didn't have the same success, they were told that it didn't sound the same. They sold all of their new equipment and bought back their old stuff, and the band was back at the top of the charts.

I am massively jekyll and hyde when it comes to music.

This... because I really need some bouncy in my life.

The Haunting sound of Nessaja, by scooter

The Carpenter Nightwish.  Rather appropriate  for today. 

22 by Taylor Swift.


Sometimes I wish that I was 22 again.  I would do some things differently.  But I guess things are turning out just fine, for the most part. 

MIx of the last 40 years.  At the moment?  Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the wall Extended version.

Te amo mi corazon 🤍🪽

Absolutely nothing.  Sublime.

Sometimes music just makes you happy. Well... actually most times.

This is so awesome.

Wow, what a performance. Thanks for sharing!

If you like that, here's another. Simone is another of my idols. Her and Floor are very good friends. These girls just have that something special. There's something about European symphonic metal that just pushes all the right buttons for me.



I particularly like the lyrics of this one.

Hear me, I want you to hear me, my cries
See me, as I want you to see me alive

Life, it feels eternal when you're close to me
A bird without its wings cannot be free
Your spirit feels a cold embrace that slowly fades

Rise, I see a future bright and crystal clear
Be brave, aim higher, and don't disappear
Defy the odds into eternity and endlessly

Heal me, I want you to heal me
My heart

And in the dark, I see you hiding from the light
Your destiny there, written in the stars, until the end of time

Heal me, I want you to heal me, my heart
See me, as I want you to see me alive

Breathe (breathe), and through the pain and tears, we truly feel
You'll find a way through chaos, and the fear
No soul denies a symmetry that's meant to be

Fly (fly), your wings will catch the wind, and set you free
Cast off the weight, and dreams will reappear
A King and Queen, ride on eternally, forever free

Free me, I long to be free

And in the dark, I see you hiding from the light
Your destiny there, written in the stars, until the end of time

Hear me, I want you to hear me, my cries
See me, as I want you to see me, to be alive

Step in the light, your heart is fighting for your life
We resonate a dueled fate lives, deep within the grand design

See me, I want you to see me
Hear me, as I want you to hear me

Free me (see), I want you to free me (it's my time to rise from the debris)
Heal me (break), as I want you to heal me (all the chains on me)
See me (breathe), I want you to see me (and release the toxic energy)
Hear me (find), as I want you to hear me (your serenity)
Be alive

I love it.

One of my favorite concert experiences is The Blue Man Group. They have a bit of a cult following here in the Midwest U.S., and many people don't appreciate their talents. They are percussionists, but also comedians, always remaining in character (no talking/singing), and they invent their own instruments or use instruments in an unusual fashion. Most of their inventions are just lengths of PVC pipe, but they also play a grand piano by smacking it with a huge mallet.    They have bands for back-up and various singers that perform with them.

That is some next level creativity. I have heard the name but never seen them. Thank you for sharing. I am watching this whole thing right now. Just from the opening... yeah... this is my jam.
