Well, hello. I’m still testing this.

Music Notes

A simple music themed blog for Jeff’s "Invalid Item"

challenge, and also to dump my thoughts about the 48 Hour Media Challenges when I don’t feel like creating a story or poem from the provided material. I may also add random poetry in here if I feel like it doesn’t qualify for a separate item.

Wow, strangely enough, I only discovered this band with Demons a few weeks ago. Coincedence!

That sounds like a terrible work situation. Some bosses are exploitative, and will wring every last drop of sanity out of their workers. Not all, but some, and often, you don't see it until you're deep into it. Glad you got out of there.

Okay, bear with me, hon, but maybe I'm too dumb as a European to "see", but...

Where are the "bleep-able" words and "strong" content you caught in that song? Actually, I found it pretty good, realistic & authentic... un-censored. Here it would be rather E-rated.

Maybe that "sensitivity" is the reason I so often rate items GC which actually wouldn't "justify" it

... don't wanna step on your (Americans') toes.

Funny how you actually wrote about a completely other song than the one provided

(My German teacher called that missing the point (with which she always started her commentary under my "A"s.

)

The whole "lecture" around the song was a bit TMI for me

, BUT made me curious enough to look up the song as I like at least OneRepublic & Imagine Dragons of the mentioned musicians.

Hope I didn't step on your toes too much.

Ye know it's not directed against you but just me being honest.

If I trampled on toes, then SORRY.

Have a great day.

I admire people like you who can analyze music. I will search the cloud for it. How do you find the time for everything you do?

In response to "Fortnight"

I immediately thought how difficult it is to google a simple word like "fortnight". The responses are usually ads and companies and websites... anything that makes money... top of the list.

And yes, I don't know what I don't know.

But I know that I like how this flows.

In response to "Music and Writing"

Imagine dragons is palpable, if only for the fact that "Everybody wants to be my enemy" is so deeply connected to a particular time in my health journey. As much as I wanted to refresh my knowledge of Arcane for the next season, I don't know that I can...

though that might just be a bit of flightiness.

Very interesting thoughts about music. And I loved your tappity gif on the newsfeed.

In response to "Renewal"

Hello Amethyst,

I read your poem and am going to review it, but since it's an entry I can only comment.

* I like the imagery you use in this. It helps me imagine looking through that window seeing all the sounds, sights, and other senses.

* Plus the colored text matches the theme.

This is about as close to poetic form I can manage:
It's refreshing, like a glass of sweet iced tea on a warm Spring day. My ears, nose, eyes soak in its splendour.

You did a good job at the goal and requirements needed.

Well done.

The details in this make it vivid.
*

Catch-up entry: Eddie Vedder Does a Beatles Cover

Shazam is my best friend, honestly. I don't know what I would do without it. I found Eddie Vedder's cover of the Beatles song You've Got To Hide Your Love Away when it played last summer at a discount clothing franchise that I shop at frequently. Over the years I've developed a strong instinct for knowing whether a song appeals to me or not within the first verse or so, and I could tell that this was something I was going to like, so I grabbed my phone and identified it.

I'm not interested in the original Beatles rendition; I think Eddie Vedder does a fantastic job on his cover, and I never cared much for the Beatles anyway. This is a short and simple track with light guitar work and a harmonica ending, and Eddie's rich deep voice is exactly what sets it apart for me. Deeper male voices are hard to find in pop music, and I'm not into Pearl Jam, so I never really got to know him. (Though another cover he did, with Tom Petty, is coming soon on my blog.)

When I discovered this I immediately downloaded it to my offline playlist and had it on repeat for the rest of the day. The sadness of the lyrics, simplicity of the production and of course Eddie's voice, all combined to make a new favorite of mine.

I don't feel the need to give much technical background on this one; Eddie Vedder made it for a movie soundtrack, and there's really nothing more to say.
