I actually heard this song a few months ago via someone else on the #MM blog hop and really liked it.  Always thought about featuring it but guess I only just about got around to it.

Listening to the lyrics of this track – I find myself in a situation I was in before and at the time it made sense not to push too far and that maybe by giving things a bit of time we would get closer.  THAT obviously didn’t work out BUT it’s still a beautiful song and it really makes a lot of sense.

Although don’t you think starting your Monday with just a kiss would be the perfect start to the day and set the tone for the week ?

This is one of my all time favourite tunes !!! Such a beautiful song with amazing lyrics.  I remember listening to this back in my school days – on a cassette !!! Those were the days.  I actually know the lyrics of this track quite well and it came back to me quite easily as I played this on my laptop today.

I’ve never seen the video before (didn’t even think about ever looking it up either) but it’s nice to see it now.  Gives me a goose bumps (not the video) every time I hear this track. 

I just wanna be close to you and show you the way I feel.  Damn right I do !! I just need to find YOU for that !!

Who doesn’t love this track ?? It’s an all time classic and from as long as I can remember, I’ve always liked this song.

I’ve mentioned before – I’m not big on lyrics – I’m more of a beats person – I tend to listen to music where the beats get to me; and every now and then I find some tracks where I enjoy the lyrics as much as the beats.  This is one of those tracks.

 

Well I hope you enjoy this track as much as I do … there’s a lot that I’d like to say along with it except that I’m finding it very hard to put words to it.  The song lyrics almost do feel like an obsession and based on the quote I found below – I guess its a an obsession about unrequited love !

 

Stipe told Rolling Stone magazine: "I wanted to write a classic obsession song. So I did." In addition to calling it a song about "obsession," Stipe has also referred to it as a song about "unrequited love" in which all actions and words of the object of your obsession are scrubbed for hidden meaning and hopeful signs. The lyrics pretty clearly support this: "I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing. I think I thought I saw you try."

It’s Monday – start of the new week – I can’t believe how quickly yet how slowly the week has gone by. I took part in my first ever Music Monday last week.  I didn’t get many responses but that’s okay since it takes time for something like this to build up.  I did get a few tweets out of it – so at least I made some people smile :) 

I’m on my 2nd Music Monday and couldn’t think of a better track than ‘Hurts – Wonderful Life’ to begin the week with.  Hurts are an English electronic duo from Manchester composed of singer Theo Hutchcraft and synthesizer Adam Anderson.  I only discovered this song about a week, maybe ten days ago and it’s been stuck in my head ever since !  I’ve found a YouTube link along with the Lyrics (not that a lyrics guide is necessary since its quite a simple track)

There’s not much information about the group online – however I have discovered that they were ranked #4 of top 5 acts to look out for in 2010 by the BBC in their ‘Sound of 2010’ poll.  And with the sounds of Wonderful Life – they can definitely make it big ! 

The original Wonderful Life video makes you think back to the 80’s – a very funky black & white video; the lyrics are empowering; the strings are haunting and the drums make me think of electro-pop. 

Have you heard this track before ? What do you think about it ? The lyrics are quite haunting – I can hear the ‘never give up’ in the back of my mind – and its definitely motivating when I’m having a frustrating day with work.  So please do leave a comment as it will save me from having the Monday Blues hehe.

Since I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to post today so I decided to play along with a Music Monday meme.  For those of you on Twitter – you’d be aware that there is a #MusicMonday or #MM that takes place each Monday where users put up their favourite tracks.

I’ve written about some of my favourite songs before – but I thought that by participating in something like this would allow for all of us to share our music preferences and also get to check out some other alternative music by the rest of blogosphere.

So here’s my very first Music Monday featured in the Hed Kandi albums : DJ Roog – Beautiful.  I find this to be a perfect pick-me up track; it’s very up beat – not heavy house and no loud bass either – it’s actually quite perfect for a Monday morning.  Give it a shot – try listening to it whilst you’re getting ready – I can guarantee that you’ll have a smashing day :)
