What are you listening to?

I can't say for sure when I heard them for the first time, in 91 they were in concert in my city but I already listened to them before, back then we were musical eclectics with my brothers, -from Slayer to Soca antillana- ,but Information Society are always very fresh interesting and fun.
Interesting range of sounds there between Slayer and Soca Antillana.

I used to work in Venezuela, so the sound I hear in Soca Antillana is familiar to me, though I did not know them then. Then I was too busy working, but not so much that on Saturdays we didn't go dancing and drink Cuba Libres.

:dance:

This song is cute and perfect as can be, completely timeless and I find in their vocal tone a good energy and optimism a little cynical maybe... for me there is no melancholy or that "grunge" sadness but just the opposite. I love the suggestion of slow dancing with this song much more than with the experimental Real Hero.

"Real Hero" in my opinion could be danced to but only with the right person. In the average club today, NO WAY :lol:
 
I saw a plant tiktok compilation video and luckily the poster had credited the songs he used. So I tracked these songs down. The first two are covers and the last is from the Disney movie Cinderella. I really like the slow lullaby jazz style, and think it would be fun to play on guitar.

Laufey - Old Cape Cod:


Laufey - Moon River:


Cinderella - So This Is Love (vocals start around 1:35):


This looks like a good start for that guitar style:

 
Once I used kevin coynes music for speeding me up when jogging. this title came to my mind today because of the refrain: "It is funny that the grammophon never seems to play when you're down". I had some weeks where my mood was not on top and "the grammophon" did'nt play! :rotfl: :lol:

 
The song is rather old (2007) but I’ve heard it just recently and it’s kinda get stuck in my head...very up-to-date actually

Humanity
Auf wiedersehen
It's time to say goodbye
The party's over
As the laughter dies
An angel cries
Humanity
It's au revoir to your insanity
You sold your soul to feed your vanity
Your fantasies and lies
You're a drop in the rain
Just a number not a name
And you don't see it
You don't believe it
At the end of the day
You're a needle in the hay
You signed and sealed it
And now you gotta deal with it
Humanity
Humanity
Goodbye
Goodbye
Be on your way
Adios amigo there's a price to pay
For all the egotistic games you played
The world you made
Is gone
You're a drop in the rain
Just a number not a name
And you don't see it
You don't believe it
At the end of the day
You're a needle in the hay
You signed and sealed it
And now you gotta deal with it
Humanity
Humanity
Goodbye
Goodbye
Run and hide there's fire in the sky
Stay inside
The water's gonna rise and pull you under
In your eyes I'm staring at the end of time
Nothing can change us
No one can save us from ourselves
