Recommend a song for people's MP3 collection
I listen to MP3s on my phone when I walk around but I'm getting to know all the songs I have on there too well. I need some new music. I suppose others might have the same problem. So I thought I'd make a thread where people can recommend for others a song for their MP3 collection.
I'll go first!
Astro by The White Stripes. It's a rockin' tune.
"Lost and Found" by The Polish Ambassador
This song resonates with me so strongly. Perhaps it would as well for those on the AS.
Here's the lyrics, if you're a lyrics-guru like me:
"She loves travel
Her heart flows... where she chose
With a routine
Quickly pack the bags, and let's go
In and out of hotels
Travel light and propel
From one spot to next spot
She did so well....
Never really got attached to any one place
...More about the quantity
Addicted to the pace
Til one day...
An unexpected stay....
In a place she kept secret
So I'd rather not say
Just know..
a feeling resonated in her chest so..
strong that she didn't feel like she could move on
But still, the plane ticket had a time on it
She was used to only doing what her mind wanted
Though her spirit started to speak
She wouldn't let it peak
To the point where it would shuffle her agenda for the week
But sitting on the plane to leave simply felt wrong
Looking out the window with her face forlorn....
Long long long long long... long long way to go...
Liftoff
Takeoff
Always on schedule
Disregard silly words your gut keeps telling you
Inner dialogue
As she rides through the fog
Up and through the clouds
Then descent
Touch down
Now on the ground
speeding to a meeting
To tell you all the truth,
She's aloof in the proceedings
Couldn't shake this feeling that she didn't belong
Now the music getting louder
Heart singing that song
Longing...
for this place she barely knew
Life offers so many paths
For you to choose
Sometimes though, we're not meant to know
But she listened to her inner voice
It's telling her "go"
She rose from the table
Thanked the whole staff
Chuckled under her breath to stop a full laugh
Thank you all for coming out, but I've gotta go
Please direct all your requests to so & so
Same bags, same tags, same short
notice
She left to embark on a quest with
one focus
To unearth...
This possible rebirth
The fulfillment of understanding her purpose on earth
No time to waste
She's hopping on a flight
The only way to make her and her fate unite
She's living through passion
Life on a whim
Ascending through the night
Now the journey begins
Taken to the edge, don't hold back, just jump ahead
choosing her name, naming herself, whether she knows or not gotta go every moment
long long way to go, got a long long way to go
choosing her name, naming herself, whether she knows or not gotta go every moment
Finally she lands in this brand new land
Luggage in tow
With her heart in her hand
She walk upon foreign soil once again
But this time with every intent of staying
Made calls to family
Called some friends
They didn't understand
No, they couldn't comprehend
A couple people even told her that she's crazy
Thinking to herself on the low, "Well maybe..."
Nevertheless, the quest must go on
Doubts in her mind, she refused to prolong
Never known to be thin skinned
She looked within
And let her exploration begin
Discovery of many semi unturned stones
From times she had visions of life with lush tones
Envisioned herself before the pressures of the world
Had a convo with that little bright eyed girl
Those old ambitions
Were so enriching
They gave a new purpose to life
A new rhythm
She walked with a bop
As she went to see spots
That moved her with pure beauty
She channelled more thoughts
Her heart flourished
And art nourished her soul
Her creations shed a light upon the people she showed
The love radiated
Satiating the community
Causing this to circulate a bliss quite beautifully
Suitably spawned
by feelings of calm
That were anchored by an overwhelming sense she belonged
All along she thought she simply had a flair
For venturing around the globe until she came here
Now she realizes that the furious pace
Was her spirit seeking a feeling
An energy
A place
A hundred thousand miles just to reach one zone
Her luggage is unpacked
She's finally at home
Oh... long long way to go...
Taken to the edge, don't hold back, just jump ahead
choosing her name, naming herself, whether she knows or not gotta go every moment."
try M by the cure
What an awesome song I had never heard it before, even though I'm familiar with 2 or 3 of The Cure's tunes.
Another suggestion from me, Everybody Plays the Fool by The Main Ingredient. I had never heard of this band but the lead singer Cuba Gooding Snr. just died so I looked them up.

Another suggestion from me is Pepper by Butthole Surfers.
Pepper was their 'hit' from 1996. Better sstuff is their earlier stuff when they were really weird. I especially like their 'Double Live' bootleg that I bought as a 2xLP when it came out in 1989. The Butthoes Surfers have the entire thing as well as a bunch of earlier stuff available for legit download on their Website.

I appreciate the link. However I will have to agree to disagree with you about their earlier stuff. It doesn't sound very melodic to me. We all have unique tastes though. Variety is the spice of life.
