Na een uiterst vermoeiende week is het heerlijk op vrijdag te relaxen met de muziek van Johannes Brahms. Niet dat hoogdravende gedoe van Mahler of Wagner, nee gewoon muziek die gemaakt is om een publiek te behagen ... daar kan toch niets mis mee zijn?
Luister en relax, en denk er om: nooit klassieke muziek als achtergrondmuziek gebruiken!

Prince
Het is even geduld hebben, maar dan volgt er ook een fantastische gitaarsolo van Prince. Op 3:35 voor diegenen die niet kunnen wachten.

Stereo
Als je - zoals ik - de Japanse band Mono al langere tijd volgt, is hun muziek weinig verrassend meer. Toch bevat ook hun 5e album weer een aantal pareltjes van eenvoud, zoals dit "Follow the Map". Opmerkelijk dat ze zelf hun muziek onder de eigentijdse klassieke muziek willen scharen ... en waarom ook niet?

The Pain Gets Worse
Van het album "Take My Head" uit 1999, de trip-hop band: Archive.
Archive - The Pain Gets Worse
Tell me it's a dream
The pain gets worse
Tell me you have seen
The pain gets worse
There we can't regain
It really hurts
Don't make me shout out
The pain gets worse
Tell me he were wrong
The pain gets worse
Tell me you have long
The pain gets worse
To be here with me
It really hurts
Tell me you have seen
The pain gets worse
The pain gets worse
The pain gets worse
It really hurts
The pain gets worse
Tell me once again
The pain gets worse
That you wanna be friends
The pain gets worse
That you swallow your pride
It really hurts
That you stay by my side
The pain gets worse
The pain gets worse
The pain gets worse
It really hurts
The pain gets worse
Tell me it's a dream
Tell me you have seen
There we can't regain
Don't make me shout out

Sigur Rós (1)
IJsland is niet bepaald het eerste waar je aan denkt bij popmuziek. Toch heeft dit kleine, kille landje een fantastische, warme post-rock band voortgebracht: Sigur Rós. Flower power op zijn IJslands!
Sigur Rós - Glósóli
Nú vaknar þú
Allt virðist vera breytt
Eg gægist út
En er svo ekki neitt
Ur-skóna finn svo A náttfötum hún
I draumi fann svo
Eg hékk á koðnun?
Með sólinni er hún
Og er hún, inni hér En hvar ert þú....
Legg upp í göngu
Og tölti götuna
Sé ekk(ert) út
Og nota stjörnurnar
Sit(ur) endalaust hún Og klifrar svo út.
Glósóli-leg hún
Komdu út
Mig vaknar draum-haf
Mitt hjartað, slá
Ufið hár.
Sturlun við fjar-óð
Sem skyldu-skrá.
Og hér ert þú...
Fannst mér.....
Og hér ert þú
Glósóli.....
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Glowing Sun (Bright Sun)
Now that you're awake
Everything seems different
I look around
But there's nothing at all
Put on my shoes, I then find that
She is still in her pyjamas
Then found in a dream
I'm hung by (an) anticlimax
She is with the sun
And it's out here
But where are you...
Go on a journey
And roam the streets
Can't see the way out
And so use the stars
She sits for eternity
And then climbs out
She's the glowing sun
So come out
I awake from a nightmare
My heart is beating
Out of control…
I've become so used to this craziness
That it's now compulsory
And here you are...
I'm feeling...
And here you are,
Glowing sun...
And here you are,
Glowing sun...

Wherever I Go
Soms kom je van die liedjes tegen die je in één keer vastgrijpen. Is het de melodie, de tekst ...? Vaak kan je het niet eens beredeneren en als je naar andere liedjes van dezelfde band luistert begrijp je dat het een toevalstreffer moet zijn.
The Album Leaf: Wherever I Go
Wherever I go, I take you with me,
‘Cause I don’t want to see you leave.
Whenever I go, you stay with me,
They won’t see you leave.
Are you here with me?
I want you here with me
Whenever I turn, you are gone from me.
And I won’t see you leave.
Wherever I go, your shadow follows me
I don’t want to see you leave.
Are you here with me?
The Album Leaf: Wherever I Go
Wherever I go, I take you with me,
‘Cause I don’t want to see you leave.
Whenever I go, you stay with me,
They won’t see you leave.
Are you here with me?
I want you here with me
Whenever I turn, you are gone from me.
And I won’t see you leave.
Wherever I go, your shadow follows me
I don’t want to see you leave.
Are you here with me?
