  • Beth Hart – Bad Woman Blues

    Beth Hart – Bad Woman Blues

    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)

    Agnes Obel – Fuel To Fire (David Lynch Remix)

    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)

    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

    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”
