Reply to Listening to music in different languages by rashan688

I listen to languages I don’t understand quite a lot. I’m a very literal, analytical thinker, and I often end up focusing on the meaning of lyrics rather than just listening to the human voice as a musical instrument. Foreign language lyrics short-circuit that pattern. I love the rhythm patterns of Japanese lyrics. Early-90s Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi (Jeep, Japan, Captain of the Ship). Stereopony. Ayako Ikeda has a lovely voice. In other languages, Laura Pausini (in both Spanish and Italian).

So: English is my first language, I also speak German and Spanish.

I listen to English, German, and Spanish music all the time.

Are you trying to learn languages?

I would always - and this will seem silly - recommend Sesame Street/Calle Sesame/Sesamme Strasse/ It's meant for children, but it's meant for them because it helps language skills. It's a really important program and it's available in almost ever country,.

I love that album. Must have been great. I need to dig out their anthology cd collection. Someone put it together on the email message board back in the day and I got it for blanks and postage. Seemed to be best live version of every song they played. Maybe it’s online somewhere. Like 5 CDs. Shady grove may have been my favorite song live. Rocky top was great as well.

Reply to I Don’t like Conan Gray, should i be ashamed? by Pink_Diamondx

Conan Gray? Had to look him up . . .He's pretty . . . . MID. Nothing special to me. Honestly one of those artists I'd never assume was uhm . . . anyone's FAVORITE or even Top 5? but uh... okay.

But uhm, yeah get the hell away from Vincent. Musical elitism isn't where it's at.

If you want to keep the friendship going and not be as aggressive as I would be then idk...

Maybe when you hang out with him give hints you're not into it. " Can we listen to something else? This one isn't the vibe. " ---- " ah, I'm pretty exhausted by Conan Gray. Pretty burned out." ---- " Let's look for something new. "

If he wants to double down or pick a fight over it ... then just say you're glad Mid-level e-twink beats are worth fighting over. Maturity shouldn't get in the way of his ego and golf-clap for him.

Shep & the Limelights song A Thousand Miles Away was referenced in Daddy’s Home by The Heartbeats.

Who Put the Bomp by Barry Mann was answered in I Put the Bomp by Frankie Lymon.

Mr. Bass Man by Johnny Cymbal was answered by Mr. Tenor Man by Lou Christie.

There’s also Sidewalk Surfing by Jan and Dean, and Catch a Wave by The Beach Boys that are basically the same song, but not a callback.

Edit-for clarity.

Florence + the Machine's song " Patricia " is about Patti Smith.

More so about some words of wisdom Patti gave to Florence, " All doors are open to the believer " , where Florence seemingly tells a man what she thinks about him and his toxic behavior.

and that while it can be a terrifying thing to love, it's a wonderful thing to love.

Reply to Misheard lyrics by iputthisuserhereyeah

As much as I very rarely listen to this artist, I def used to hear "starbucks lovers," those who know, know.

Ray of light - Madonna. Used to think the line was "and I feel like a disco ball," instead of the actual line "and I feel like I just got home."
