</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I suppose I could have gone with 'Only The Good Die Young' by Iron Maidne which would be ironic if I died as an old man. However this song seems to be more fitting, the first chorus has always made me think about the metaphor of life being a journey and how we never truly start our journey's nor do we finish them. Journey's are always started by our parents as they create us and put us on the path of life and even though there is the physical sense of death we tend to live on as 'legends', stories passed down to our children and their children.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No matter what mood I'm in whether it be sad or melencholy whenever I listen to this song it's as though the troubles of the world just melt away.

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From personal gig experience there are few songs which sound better when performed live compared to the recorded article, Uncontrol is one such song, you can hear Gackt and GacktJob putting energy into their performance, it's one of my favourite songs from Gackt especially the live version on his live album. Even the remix of this track which he performed during his Are You Fried Chickenz tour last year in London to exceed the energy of the original track first found on his Rebirth album.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
As I mentioned in the first of these <a href="http://toomanyfandoms.blogspot.com/2011/03/30-day-song-challenge-day-01-your.html">blogs</a> I found myself relating to some of Outsider's songs particularly this one. It's certain lines of the chorus which really stand out for me including: <br />
<blockquote>I'm really scared of love and people<br />
I'm afraid of being alone, I'm afraid of being forgotten</blockquote>and<br />
<blockquote>Always a loner, I close the door to my heart<br />
bearing my sadness on my back, I live like a fool</blockquote><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think more than anything else it's the continuous piano playing which I like most, it's like someone recorded a bit of it and just looped it throughout the song, singings not that bad either. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A Parody of the Brown Eyed Girls track of the same name, it's kinda of embarrassing how these two boy bands can sound quite out of tune in this song, I'm not sure whether that's a comment on them as a group or on the quality of Brown Eyed Girls. Still this song does make me laugh and the video is bizarre.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The very simple reason I dislike this band is because I was going to see them live but they cancelled last minute and I couldn't get a refund because apparently the gig hadn't been cancelled according to the box office, despite the venue telling me the gig had been cancelled and the band saying they had cancelled.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
Probably one of my favourite non-sing tracks from them its one of the few songs that I think can shift it's tempo and pace so effortlessly especially in a live scenario.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It doesn't make me fall asleep but it is the ultimate chillout song, it does have a lullaby element to it. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I tend to find myself doing the shoulder movements whenever I listen to the song, fortunately this is the only part of the dance I can successfully get away with doing in public</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think it is fairly safe to assume a song that I have listened to and loved for ten years (jeez has it been that long?) would be a song I'd know the words to.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This song is important to me because it opened my ears to music and got me to appreciate the value of an album instead of just listening to a song when a radio station plays it. Kind of ironic that I feel that way and yet I have my own radio show.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This reminds me of the last wedding I went to specifically because this song came on, the ties were around our heads and the air guitars were out, pity the powersliding ended in some ruined trousers and burnt knees.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This song was then followed up by a Metallica track, can't remember what it was but still, something you don't usually hear a wedding DJ put on.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <object height="390" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1w7OgIMMRc4?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1w7OgIMMRc4?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="390"></embed></object></div>Steeleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11414078597827077999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276543917358769749.post-2174478932067740712011-03-06T23:05:00.000+00:002011-03-06T23:05:39.255+00:0030 Day Song Challenge: day 06 - A Song That Reminds You Of Somewhere<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Scott and Aimee- So Cal Love</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A song about California though the song reminds me of a visit to New Brighton a few years ago while trying to make good use of the buss pass I had while I still had it and for nostalgia sakes.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway the song kind of reminds me of a sunrise/sunset (the beginning of the song representing sunrise and the end representing the sunset) though I wasn't really at New Brighton's beach for either.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
