..I think I found the switch version to WAP.

Also I'm disappointed that most of the commenters don't know the song sampled, though that is probably a 1 on the scale of YouTube disappointments.

So there's this awesome drum'n'bass electro rock track "Moth Wings" by Nutronic, and I keep getting some funny misheard lyrics in the chorus if the song is quiet enough in the background.

Instead of
Never going back there again

I hear
Never going back there, ROOKIE

And by "rookie" I can't help imagining Cloud. FF7 has obviously devoured my brain.
Goddamn linking R, thank you very much.

This is a cover of a song by the Strokes, and while bluegrass is absolutely not my thing, this just works. I like this version far more than the original, it's a real toe-tapper.

This is Trauma, which is most notable for being the band Cliff Burton left to join Metallica. The band's vocalist recently reunited with Cliff the day after the 34 year anniversary of Cliff's passing after a short illness. RIP.

This was a song, from the album Fire of Unknown Origin (it has "Burnin' For You"), written by Eric Bloom (lead singer of BoC) and Michael Moorcock, a known science fiction/fantasy author. It was not written for the soundtrack of the animated film Heavy Metal, unlike several other songs on the album, but ended up being the one the director picked to use.


If you see the name Michael Moorcock and it rings a bell in your head, that's because he was the author of The Elric Saga, a high fantasy book series that was part of the personal reading diet of one Hironobu Sakaguchi around 1986 or so. In other words, it is the series of books which were Sakaguchi's favorite fantasy novels, at the time that Final Fantasy 1 was made.

It is extremely weird to me, that the lyrics in this song sound exactly like what Cloud goes through in FF7, but it absolutely is probably a coincidence. One of those 'six degrees of separation" things.

On the phone with ma reminiscing because it's fall now and remembered that my mom was technically the one who introduced me to electronica. She didn't even remember this song, but I was obsessed when she would play it lol. I don't even know where she got it from, since this was the time of CDs and music stores.

Anyone who knows me also knows that I'm completely enamored with Sade. I also hate videos of live performances. But this one... This one made me smile.

I'm so envious of every single person in that crowd. I'll likely never have the opportunity to see Sade perform live.

Normandie is a Swedish melodic post-hardcore / alternative rock band. They've had some pop- and electronic-rock influences lately (basically, the direction that Bring Me The Horizon have been following for a while), and the latest single is such a banger that I can't stop listening! :headbang:

Being, shall we say, a dyed-in-the-wool music head and singer of 3 decades, 25 years playing guitar, it is a safe bet that if I am listening to anything without moving on to something else afterwards, it's because I'm in the process of trying to learn it.

Hence:


Leaves are falling all around,
It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.

But now it's time for me to go.
The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And it's headed my way.

Sometimes I grow so tired,
But I know about one thing I got to do

Ramble on,
And now's the time, the time is now to sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl,
On my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day,
Ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Got no time for spreadin' roots,
The time has come to be gone.
And though our health we drank a thousand times,
It's time to ramble on

Ramble on,
And now's the time, the time is now to sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl,
On my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day,
I gotta ramble on,
I gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

I tell you no lie

Mine's a tale that can't be told,
My freedom I hold, dear.
How years ago in days of old,
When magic filled the air.

Just in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair.
But Gollum and the evil one
Crept up and slipped away with her, her, her, her, her, yeah.

I ain't nothing I can do no

I guess I'll keep on rambling.
I'm gonna sing my song.
I gotta find my baby.
I'm gonna ramble on, sing my song.
Gonna work my way, going round the world,
Baby, baby
Ramble on baby
Do do do do do my baby
Ramble on baby
Do do do do do my baby

I can't stop this feelin' in my heart
Every time I think of you I think us apart

I gotta keep searchin' for my baby.
I gotta keep a-searchin' for my baby.

I can't find my bluebird!
I listen to my bluebird sing,
But I, I can't find my bluebird!

I keep rambling.
I keep rambling.
