I love all kinds of music and have played some of them, one album that fascinates me is a jazz/latin album by guitarist Pat Metheny called Letter From Home. I used to have it in my car as drive time music, it just makes you feel like "that guy has cut me up, who cares?" It takes you into a kind of dream world where everything is OK.
Nobody Does It Better (mentioned by bunny) - that was written by the lovely Carly Simon, who was married to James Taylor. She later wrote the sneaky and devastating You're So Vain. She has always been very teasing about who these songs are about, she has been together with several men. I used to think they were both about James Taylor, now I suspect You're So Vain is about Warren Beatty.
Anything with to much of a beat would put me off, like Mucky was it? I would just want to start going along with the beat!
I would have to say Darren Hayes is a good choice but also I was going to say the queen of the damned soundtrack too, with korn, static x mmmmmmmm the images of stewart townsend are flying through my head as i thnk of it!
Darren Hayes is great for the mood. =) It's like he knows.
Walrus - I love the you're so vain song!
and yeah, for me, if the beat was too much or if it was something like heavy metal (which I love to listen to during my stress out times) then it would completely throw me off.
Yeah, Carly Simon wrote You're So Vain, and she sang Nobody Does It Better for the Bond film, but that song has lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager and music by some tune writer. I was written later.
I still prefer the imaginary sequence of events I had dreamed up in my own mind for the two songs!
I am a bit of a softie for female singer songwriters, I used to be a great admirer of Carole King and am currently a fan of Amy Winehouse, despite her crash and burn lifestyle.
Yeah, the trouble is you feel that all her songs have come straight out of her diary. I don't think she's written anything where she imagines she is somebody else.
A song can reflect on the writer's current thoughts and feelings. Sometimes they do it through fictional people. It would be nice if she tried that but then again, it would also be strange because it wouldn't be her style.
I haven't had sex to a musical score for yearrrsss (and I miss it!) but I've got a cheeky little iTunes playlist (subtley called Filth) full of dirty, sexy music.
It's mostly electronicy stuff with female vocals and big dirty rumbling basslines that'd feel awesome in a club... I've copied the tracklist off my iTunes, very organised I know!
