Music: What are you listening to today? - Page 234 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Posted these two before

If I could only listen to one song, I would be desolate, but I think I would choose “Moments of pleasure”

If I had to chose one video it would be Emma Rubinowitz dancing to “What is life”, and I wouldn’t feel that I was missing out on anything.

As I was watching this, I almost burst into tears when the two of them were dancing in the woods.

Ah, Youth.

It's weird, I don't feel old, but I am. I've finally reached the age where I truly understand my own mortality.

Or, I could just be PMSing.

I was listening to the radio, a song came on and I thought “Nothing much to this, but a nice hook line”. Then “Just Like Heaven “ came on. More hooks than a fisherman’s convention and it speaks to your soul.

Rumour has it Joel was just about to throw this song away because he couldn't get it right, and then Cindy Lauper happened to pass by and liked it. Not sure that's true, but it does make you wonder how many great songs might never have reached us because the artists just didn't think they were good enough at the time while some coincidence might've saved them.

And since we're talking about Cindy Lauper - if anyone here still hasn't watched Strictly Ballroom, you very much really should.
