some sad and somber tunes to drive the blues away...
1000 Oceans by Tori Amos. The lyrics may be gibberish, but Tori's evocative performance turns the song into a whole new experience. Kudos to the director who was able to capture the intense loneliness and yearning that this song evokes...
Love's Divine by Seal. The scene where the guy chases the taxi always gets me -- it's like a scene from a bad telenovela but it is still touching nevertheless. The point where he enters the taxi and he stares at her with eyes so helpless and contrite waaaaaaaah patawarin mo na yan!
Maryland by Vonda Shepard. The album version is much sadder. Talking about how one's destiny sometimes doesn't match the expectations of others. ooh-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah....
Landslide by The Smashing Pumpkins. Maraming version ang kantang ito from Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, The Dixie Chicks atbp...but IMHO SP's version is da best haha pasensya na sa video there's no official music video so I had to make do with this photo slideshow...believe me, this is the best among the vids I have seen
I Grieve by Peter Gabriel. 'langhiya ang HABA ng kantang ito haha the weirdness of Peter Gabriel... But this song essentially captures the grieving process through the song's somber tones, smart instrumentation and changes in tempo, the sad, sad lyrics and Peter's voice which alternates from melancholy to indignation to anger to just pain...this song is worth listening to...
This is A Rebel Song by Sinead O'Connor. I thought of featuring "Nothing Compares 2 U" but I already had in a previous post na marami akong pinagalitang tao hehe. This song is ironic and historical haha listen to the lyrics and you'll find out why...
Ordinary World by Duran Duran. Something from the 80s (or is it 90s?) hehe both the full band and acoustic version are great. here's the full band version. Download the acoustic version...hehe
