Back to the Music

I have recently rediscovered a song that I enjoy.

Of course, I enjoy it a lot more now versus then, but I am so shocked at my lack of obsession with this song before now.


This song is super sexy and I just absolutely love it. Obviously I am just slow or something.

Regardless, I will post it here for you to listen to if you are new to the tune or if you already know it and are ready to fall in love again. :)

Marry the Night

Ah it appears that there was another release!

"Marry the Night"

This one was apparently a single released via GAGAville on Farmville by Zynga. (Retarded). Anyway, here it is:


I don't hate this. It is really reminiscent of old Gaga which I appreciate. It is classic Gaga - sex and clubs. Thank god. I don't feel like I am being forced to appreciate myself, to fight for any sort of rights, or overly exposed to God; which I appreciate.

It's not that inventive of a song, but I appreciate that, because it doesn't sound like she is trying to cram lyrics into a song that just don't fit like several others on the album.

Hair

As promised, though a little later than I expected due to the cluster that has been my day, but this is "Hair."

Overall, I do not hate the style of the song, though I do think that the saxophone in the song randomly is a little out of place. I think that it has a really good beat and it achieves the gay club dance anthem feel really well, which she loves to do.

Lyrically, *sigh*. She's the spirit of her hair? No. I think this is the most retarded thing I have ever heard as far as writing is concerned. This is supposed to be an anthem I guess that tells you to by yourself stylistically , which I suppose it achieves, but WHY DOES EVERY SONG HAVE TO BE SOME SORT OF LIFE CHANGING ANTHEM. I am SO TIRED of her trying to get everyone to get on her soap box. I agree with some of her views, but jesus, this is just bad. I don't want to be my hair. My hair is annoying and curly and gets greasy if I don't blow dry it. No thanks.

I am just so disappointed in all of this album so far (minus "You and I"). What happened to "Bad Romance" style?

Edge of Glory

I hate to do this, but it is Monday now, which is a great day for some, and miserable day for others.

Why great? Lady GaGa is releasing a new song today!

"Hair" from Born this Way will be released today and I am personally nervous about this one.

This whole album to me (thus far) has been somewhat of a joke. I am not impressed in the slightest. I do not appreciate the constant need to make a statement that she seems to have now. First Gay Rights, then a weird Jesus song; WHAT'S NEXT?!

She released the song "Edge of Glory" last week, which was refreshing for me because "Judas" was SO BAD. I still do not feel however that "Edge of Glory" is 100% up to par. Sure, it's catchy. It's perfect pop music vomit, but it's not the kind that I want to clean up.

Here is the song for those of you who have not heard it:


Expect my full review of "Hair" as soon as I get to hear the audio. :)

The Cave

I am pulling an all-nighter this evening and in doing so, I find myself clinging to a few really fabulous songs on YouTube.

Why YouTube? I can't answer that question.

Regardless, I have to say the song that has made the biggest impact on me so far this year is "The Cave" by Mumford and Sons. If you have not heard this masterpiece of banjo-alt-rock glory, please take a moment to do so now:



Lyrically, this is one of the best songs that I have heard in awhile. I don't know how else to describe other than fantastic.

The end of the song, the voice that comes out of their singer - so pained, but so strong. AH. So good. I am telling you, if you don't know it, you will learn to love it. This particular song has completely changed my life.

I simply feel like they relate so strongly to a particular situation (actually two) in my life and I am so grateful that I was able to stumble across this song again.

I first heard it last year, but it definitely needed 2011 to flourish, at least for me.

A New Music Obsession



Take a listen to this GEM.

I'm sort of obsessed with this song. It's slow but still dripping with sex. I love it.

(Awolnation - "Sail")
