Everybody Wants To Rule the World
by Tears For Fears
"Welcome to your life,
There's no turning back
"

Okay, I have posted this one again but I went back and found the last one and it wasn't really up to scratch. In no way did it capture quite how much this song rocks my socks. Yep, I totally just used that phrase.

"Help me make the most of freedom
And of pleasure,
Nothing ever lasts forever"

This song is perfection. It has actually FORCED me to quote a lot more lyrics than usual because there are so many sharp little lines in there. I love that Tears For Fears manage to do this thing time and time again where they have fairly bleak and heavy lyrics spread over the top of a really rich and beautiful musical background. Nomnomnomnom. That's my thought on the matter.

"There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you"

But gee. The intro to this song... I listen to it time and time again and it never loses it's emotional power over me. It's so full of energy, of passion and suspense. I simply adore it. I can listen to this song on repeat for a very long time and have done many a time... and I think that either marks the level of quality in this song or the level of insanity I am facing, haha.

"I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision"

I am actually listening to it on repeat RIGHT NOW.

Listen to it here!
And enjoy :)

Dead Finks Don't Talk
by Brian Eno
"Oh cheeky cheeky,
Oh naughty sneaky
You're so perceptive
And I wonder how you knew"

God, Eno's voice at the beginning of this track is so compelling. And that moment when the piano kicks in over that drum-beat is very tasty indeed. There are some pretty bizarre noises in this one, mind... but uh, I enjoy it anyway.

Listen to it here!
And enjoy :)

Love Will Tear Us Apart
by Joy Division
"When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low..."

...I listen to this. This song is deemed so regularly as being depressing and miserable. But it actually makes me feel alive and elated when I feel bad. The music beneath the lyrics is just so full of life and energy. I most definitely approve of this one.

I recommend that intro played very loudly.

Listen to it here!
And enjoy :)
