Beth Hart – Bad Woman Blues

Leave a comment

Want a tight, short, full of energy song that’s crammed to the brink of explosion with catchy hooks? Leave it to blues rocker Beth Hart to bring into existence. The witty lyrics make the ride that much more pleasurable.

“Got the lips, got the legs
I was born to drive a man insane
I don’t worry and I don’t shame
Put it on me, I’m the queen of pain
I’ve been bad, I’ve been cruel
I’m not sorry, baby, sorry for you
It’s my party and I don’t dance
Just want your liquor and your cheap romance
I’m not your mama, I’m not your wife
I’m not the one who’ll make it right
Good girls always lose
I got the bad woman blues”

Agnes Obel – Fuel To Fire (David Lynch Remix)

Leave a comment

Some songs are only about music. Some others are only about words. Some are about atmosphere. There is no right or wrong. And even though this melody shines particularly through its atmosphere & lyrics, listen carefully and discover the mastery of faking monotony.

And yes, this is the David Lynch. He sure did a good number on this one! The original song is pretty good as well (which should go without saying if David Lynch decided to touch it – and no, I’m not one of his fans, it’s just semi-objective reality [that’s another word for statistical reality]).

“Do you want me on your mind or do you want me to go on
I might be yours as sure as I can say
Be gone be faraway
Roses on parade, they follow you around
Upon your shore as sure as I can say
Be gone be faraway”

Rag’n’Bone Man – Human (Acoustic)

A stellar vocal performance is what makes this song shine. Even though the instrumental is perpetually in the background, it is in such harmony with the singer that it gets pulled right up on the stage with equal rights. There’s more creativity in the song’s use of piano and guitar than there is in most contemporary songs that feature twice or more instruments.

“I’m only human
I’m only, I’m only
I’m only human, human

Maybe I’m foolish
Maybe I’m blind
Thinking I can see through this
And see what’s behind
Got no way to prove it
So maybe I’m blind
But I’m only human after all
I’m only human after all
Don’t put your blame on me
Don’t put your blame on me

Take a look in the mirror
And what do you see
Do you see it clearer
Or are you deceived
In what you believe
‘Cause I’m only human after all
You’re only human after all
Don’t put the blame on me
Don’t put your blame on me

Some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord heavens above
I’m only human after all
I’m only human after all
Don’t put the blame on me
Don’t put the blame on me”

Alexander – Truth

It may start careless and airy, but this isn’t a happy travel song nor a Sunday family gathering tune. Listen carefully to what’s being said. Get down into it and enjoy the depth and range of the message. The music is rich. It flows and transforms gently, leaving plenty of room for a wide array of singing styles to grace our ears. Indeed, this melody is quite the feast when it comes to vocals.

The video is interesting to say the least. Perhaps even more challenging than the lyrics.

“The truth is that I never shook my shadow
Every day it’s trying to trick me into doing battle

[…]

And when the darkness come let it inside you
Your darkness is shining
My darkness is shining
Have faith in myself

Truth

I’ve seen a million numbered doors on the horizon
Now which is the future you choosin’ before you go dying
I’ll tell you ’bout a secret I’ve been undermin’
Every little lie in this world come from dividing
Say you’re my lover, say you’re my homie
Tilt my chin back slit my throat take a bath in my blood get to know me
All out of my secrets
All my enemies are turning into my teachers
Because, lights blinding, No way dividing
What’s yours or mine When everything’s shining”
