@@EASYTIGER10 Coronation Street reference, the serial killer Richard Hillman drove his family into a canal to try to kill them and he was playing this song on repeat
I often just tear up when I hear the lyrics. I don't find it silly at all, but heartfelt. Two people who found eachother and are happy whatever they do because they're together. I thank God I'm that lucky.
Makes life bearable when my body or heart is in pain. Gives me solitude and solace in the storms of life, and then after, I can appreciate being like a little child.
Europeans sure do have ALOT more appreciation for real music and the arts, idk about better musicians but yea. Anyway great song, sure ahead of its time
Agree with Alex Taylor, I mean, rock n' roll, jazz, blues, hip hop, punk all came from the USA. (And we have to give credit to black people, cus they are responsible for everything on that list except punk). Europeans though, have a funny way of taking that base stuff and delivering it in an amazing and lovely package. IE: The Beatles, and this song. - Dude from the US who lives in Europe.
It was really funny when we share concert in Skellefteå like1989-1990 West Side Fabr.(Jocke) , in a basement in Skellefteå. First time i heard My home town. `//Lars, at that day drummer in Livingston from Luleå.
I love how Swedes place the stressed syllables in English words totally out of sync with the music. ABBA did it too. It makes things quirky and interesting. I guess it comes from speaking a language with an utterly different concept of how to stress syllables than most European languages.
Perhaps, but have you actually listened to their albums? These guys were terrific songwriters that could have easily had half a dozen other major hits.
I know this comment is 4 years old. But you're a fucking idiot. Red hot chili peppers' entire discography is enough to prove that, as well as many other bands.
Makes me feel even stronger for my beloved Eliana Delmyna Rubio, the gorgeous short haired Latina goddess who traipses through my dreams on no discernable schedule. I know that she is very real . I did not think that I could feel any stronger for her than I already did, that is how much I love her. If you converted my love to combat potential, I could probably ice the Saint Of Killers from DC Comics, often assumed to be unbeatable. I vow that Eliana Delmyna and I will soon be together forever.
Jon Ingleson Name 20 of the best bands from different genres and exclude any American musicians and I will respect your opinion. I mean, you are aware rock n roll, rhythm and blues, jazz, etc wouldn't exist without the influence of America on world music right?
Jon Ingleson I am not arguing the undeniable fact that music as a whole has taking a nose dive as far as creativity, content, composition, musical virtuosity, etc etc. That is not exclusive to America though. I think we would both have to admit that America and the United Kingdom are the two biggest influences on the music around the world as a whole. Most extremely marketable widely consumed music today is unfortunately bad overproduced pop and edm music. That isn't to say there isn't good pop or edm music. Just to show respect to the time you took to compile your list I will give you one as well. Same thing here, not my personal preference but what I would consider to be recognizable and not controversial: 1. Pop: Chuck Berry 2. Rock: Jimi Hendrix 3. Psych Rock: 13th Floor Elevators 4. House: Jesse Saunders 5. Breakbeat: Bassnectar 6. Dubstep: Skrillex 7. Drum'n'Bass: Dieselboy 8. Techno: Kevin Saunderson 9. Trip Hop: Thievery Corporation 10. Trance: Christopher Lawrence 11.Prog Trance: Josh Wink 12. IDM: Venetian Snares 13. Heavy Metal: Slayer 14. Prog Rock: Dream Theater 15. Glam Rock: New York Dolls 16. Punk: The Ramones 17. Post-Punk: Minutemen 18. Ska: Operation Ivy 19. Indie: Pavement 20. Alternative Rock: Nirvana I'll throw in Bob Dylan as a 21st just because he is Bob Dylan. Like you said before this doesn't reflect my taste personally and is not a points contest. I would say thought that you stuck pretty hard to sub genres of electronic music which is obviously more popular in Europe and left out a lot of other genres/sub genres that could have shown plenty of good music being invented, pioneered, and produced by American artists. My whole point behind this entire comment was to say making blanket statements like European musicians are better than American musicians is a completely juvenile and ignorant thing to say. You can say I prefer European musicians but to discredit the thousands upon thousands of American musicians that have helped shape music as we know it today by saying they are lesser than, when that is clearly not the case considering that America has been a driving force in the progression of music, is preposterous.
Jon Ingleson As I previously mentioned the list I posted was for people who listen to mainstream music and not people who really search to deep into different genres. It wasn't meant to reflect my personal tastes in music. Of course you can find them on google. If you thought you were throwing out obscure names by dropping Pink Floyd and The Smiths then I don't know what to tell you. Enjoy the extremely talented electronic music scene of Europe that is in no way influenced by America. I mean Americans are just pompous untalented hacks anyway right? Onward to the future of 130+bpm, recycled samples, and Ableton live effects.
