a song you like from the 70s #30daysongchallenge The 70s were probably wild. I wouldn’t really know I am from the 80s. Nevertheless I grew up to appreciate the music that came before. Led Zeppelin was a big part of this musical education. Legendary rock, legendary songs. The „Immigrant Song“ has a certain surge and …
a song from your preteen years #30daysongchallenge Well, choosing this song makes me old. This version in the Spotify list is not the one I actually refer to, but you easily can find the song on youtube. „They can see in the Dark“ by Jim Gray is the title song from „Der kleine Vampir“ (The …
a song you never get tired of #30daysongchallenge If I could choose one band to see again during (or after) pandemic time it would probably be Skating Polly. I miss the energy and heat of live shows. This post-punk trio is passionate and they got better every damn time I saw them! (only four times …
a song that makes you sad #30daysongchallenge I will write this text and hopefully I will not have to read it ever again, because that would mean I’ll have to read the lyrics to „The Bed Song“. That would require at least one tissue. If I need to cry – this song can trigger it …
a song that makes you happy #30daysongchallenge Now I leave my mainly english musical content and move far away: Babymetal was a weird yet wonderful discovery. They play kawaii metal (cute metal) and mix J-Pop with metal. (I won’t explain about pop music and pop idols in Japan, because there are blogs and other media …
a song about drugs or alcohol #30daysongchallenge „I’ll tell you this, because as an artist I think you’ll understand“ this is a movie quote („Annie Hall“ with Christopher Walken) and it starts this song by Jawbreaker. Songs about drugs/alcohol are not easy to decipher because the relationship with an addictive substance is as indiviual as …
a song to drive to #30daysongchallenge I’m not a driver. I am too afraid to drive in a car on these murderous streets -especially in a country where the speed limit is so high – you can’t really talk about relaxing drives. But that is beside the point – because there is one of the …
a song that makes you want to dance #30daysongchallenge Now this again is a classic. I really like the Billy Idol version but The Donnas add a second wave of nostalgia for me. There are feelings from the 80s to the 90s . Fun fact: The only band I would have loved to be in …
a song that has to be played loud #30daysongchallenge This is a song that has to be played loud. Not more but not less. I do miss going to concerts and even if the cultural life is slowly picking up again – some things will not go back to normal soon. WBTBWB is a live …
a song that reminds you of someone you’d rather forget #30daysongchallenge The first album by She & Him was great. Good, nostalgic pop by Zooey Deschanel (you might know her from „New Girl“) and M. Ward (really so many musicians have worked with him – you probably know him). „Why do you let me stay …
