Audio: Share a song with powerful lyrics.
This is my favorite of the moment.
"My Skin"
Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here
That I don't understandYour face saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
I don't need themI've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchableContempt loves the silence
It thrives in the dark
With fine winding tendrils
That strangle the heartThey say that promises
Sweeten the blow
But I don't need them
No, I don't need themI've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchableI'm a slow dying flower
Frost killing hour
The sweet turning sour
And untouchableO, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
I need thisI need
A lullaby
A kiss goodnight
Angel sweet
Love of my life
O, I need thisDo you remember the way
That you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness
I loved and adored?Your face saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
No, I don't need themO, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
I need thisI need
A lullaby
A kiss goodnight
The angel sweet
Love of my life
I need thisIs it dark enough?
Can you see me?
Do you want me?
Can you reach me?
Or I'm leavingYou better shut your mouth
Hold your breath
Kiss me now you'll catch my death
O, I mean it
Video: Show us a video that makes you want to dance.
This is going to be like a confession of guilty pleasures for me. Now some of these just make me want to dance like crazy, some make me want to have some style, some make me want to waltz. So what do they have in common? Insidious rhythm.
Yeah, definitely not the best of songs but that vid makes it. Very good tribute to Flash Dance, IMO. The comments on youtube always fight between "te original was better." and "Um, maybe I missed a memo or something, but what does the song have to do with "Flashdance"? Why did she do the video to that?" Sometimes it can be hilarious to read comments on Youtube. Sometimes it is massively frustrating. Like for this next song...
Creepy vid. People seem to feel the overwhelming need to point out his gayness in comments. Which makes them....what, straighter?
I have no idea what this Hong Kong artist is singing. But it makes me want to dance. "Boom ba! Boomboomboom bala! Boom ba!"
It's impossible to make a vid with this song and have it not inspire dancing. Ooh, that reminds me of this one...
which then reminds me of this...
Ooh, how about this one?
which reminds me of... Come on, who doesn't think after "PJ Harvey," about "Fiona apple!"
Then there's Nelly Furtado... who doesn't remind me of Fiona or PJ but I did think of her...
which reminds me of this
I'm sorry, this Pussy Cat Dolls song is a huge guilty pleasure.
Now let's jump around a bit...
Who doesn't want to waltz when they hear that song?
You know you were mouthing along with "Rebel rebel, bitch bitch, revel revel, party party, sexsexsex, and don't forget the violence." I also love that he's making fun of his fans even while getting them to belt out along with him. Not only will I sing along with that, Marilyn, I'll dance to it. Or at least thrash along with a throng of people to it.
Speaking of which...
And try to say this doesn't make you want to take up bellydancing...
Alright, I think that's enough for now. Hopefully, at least one of them made you all want to dance too.
