Sigur Ross – The Indecisive Eejit

I missed last week’s quiz, I did try, honest I did, but the brain was not quite working the way I wanted it to and when the Music Spectres sent me three challenges in a row with regards to my songs, I went into meltdown and gave up. I am hoping that the new week and the extra day off at the weekend due to the bank holiday will have refreshed the old heed sufficiently enough to help it perform.

A Little Rule Refreshment

Here are this week’s questions and my answers:

This Weeks Questions

I’m full of….? – Andvari – Sigur Rós – Wikepedia says that according to Norse mythology Andvari means ‘careful one’. I like to think I am careful about lots of things. I wish though I had been more so when I was younger, but hindsight is a wonderful thing!

I’m lacking…? – Playa Boi – Cher Lloyd – Hmmm define playa boi? I play with lots of boys (well men) on the Xbox, but yes I do lack that one special Playa Boi, for ummm, errr, other games……like Monopoly!

I’m okay for…? – Pulling Teeth – Newton Faulkner – I am so not ok with pulling teeth, mine or anyone elses. I used to have a thing for Magowan’s Toffee Bon Bon’s, they are gorgeous, but I have not eaten one since the day I lost half a tooth to my love affair!

Anyhow it’s a good song, so I’ll just leave you with it…….wanna join in? Check out the links above, Steve will welcome you with open arms. If you’re too lazy, you can also click HERE!

I love music. It fascinates me. There is nothing else that can alter and sway my emotions as effectively.

Even though I love Rock and Pop I always seem to lean towards the more morose side of music, or as my boss refers to it, ‘music to slit your wrists to’. I class it more as chilled out, the more haunting the melody the better.

I have no idea why it is that these songs have such an effect on me. It is what it is, and the heart loves what it wants. You instantly know when a song has captured your attention, because you stop at nothing until you find out the name of both the song and the singer.

It’s sad to think there are millions of songs out there that would entertain my ears yet I will never know about them. Most things I happen upon by chance. The kind of music I like is not exactly daytime radio material, more like late night alternative.

Soundtracks are also amazing and more often than not undiscovered by the general public. I have soundtracks for movies I have never seen, but they came up under the section ‘People who bought this also liked…’, sometimes it makes good suggestions.

I love that the power of music can transport you to somewhere else entirely. I have found myself on the train journey home, listening to a song while staring out a window down which the rain was pouring, creating my own video for the track playing at the time.

I’m going to put here a list of some of my favourites. I would class these as being melancholy, rather as seeing them as morose I view them as great melodies and tunes. If you listen to a couple and can think of something else you think I might like, then I will be most grateful if you share that thought! Some of these you might already have seen on my Music Bubble page, apologies for the crossover.

So in no particular order:

1. Lana Del Rey – Once Upon a Dream (From the forthcoming film Maleficent)
