Forced Listening Thread

It's not really my style of music but I'm not going to lie, it was a good song.


"Bis zum Tod" - Mina Harker feat. Dero
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZyvjF18XVI

* This was the first song I heard when I was told that Mina Harker was going solo. She has done backup for so many songs with Oomph! and Rammstein, it's nice to see her make her own albums.

[Aerlinn]

^it was nicer than I expected. I'm not generally a fan of German music ( too many hilarious holiday memories involving Schlagers and yodeling) and I'm more a Faun kinda girl if German is necessary. Still, her voice is pretty nice and fitting for the genre.

The Everlasting by Manic Street Preachers. This is a very special song to me. Quite simply because it's the first pop song I quite vividly remember hearing ( I was 7 an for the rest of it mostly remember medieval music - which I was obsessed with when I was little). I didn't speak any English yet, so I only understood it was full of a strange combination of sadness and happiness. My dad used to dance with me to this track ( more like lift me in the air and twirl me about ). I recently re-discovered the song, and it's quite lovely. The clip is very interesting too.
the world is full of refugees
they're just like you and just like me
but as people we have a choice
to end the void with all its force
so don't forget or don't pretend
it's all the same now in the end
it was said in a different life
destroys my days and haunts my nights

in the beginning when we were winning
when our smiles were genuine
but now unforgiven the everlasting, everlasting

[Elegost Eruaphadion]

Heh, I vaguely remember that, but tbh my exposure to pop music at that age was Steps and S Club 7... and the Lighthouse Family. Yeah I'm that cool. I like the lyrics but the music doesn't quite do it for me.

And now for something completely different.

A parody of Alicia Keys' 'New York'. It's brilliant, and welsh.

[Dark, Queen of Angmar]

^ Ah. Hahah. AHAHHAHA. That made me laugh. The Welsh are weird. He was hot too...

I love Rhett and Link, here's one of my favorites. [It's clean, no worries]

That was EPIC! One of my friends was telling me about this song and video just the other day! I had yet to see or hear it! That was just to awesome I have to favourite it. XD I can see why my friend was telling me about it. Thanks Angmar!


"Beim ersten Mal tut's immer weh" - Oomph!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvUzUFighHw
^ I would have posted the MV with the English subs but... uhhh, it's a little graphic. The whole song is a bash against pedophiles. It's awesome! If you look up the video you will understand all. XD

[Nimriel MîrLomë]

I actually liked the song and it´s awesome! I love rock n´roll!

Thanks Lady Rinoa for the song!

And here´s a song by the finnish folk metal band "Finntroll" it´s called "Under Bergets Rot", the song is in swedish and here you have the lyrics and translation of the song:

Sometimes I enjoy to listen some metal bands.

For the video on youtube:

[Lady Rinoa]

^ No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I really liked the song you posted as well! For some reason my first thought was, "it reminds me of Castlevania." Interesting lyrics and a grat video as well.


"Godsibb" - Yuki Kajiura (Xenosaga ep. III OST)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5krINDGIeqw

* I recently created a music replacement for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion with music from the Xenosaga series. The game was epic as it was but my music replacement makes it a little more epic. Imagine listening to this when you load up the main menu. Your welcome PC Oblivion players.

[Nimriel MîrLomë]

I´m glad that you enjoyed the song.

By the way your song was cool!

Here´s Rammstein song "Sonne", one of my favourite songs:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXqEMuXGK08

[Lady Rinoa]

^ I didn't even have to listen to the song. (But I did anyway. ) I know it well. It's one of my favourite Rammstein songs too. Crack addicted Snow White! Thanks to that MV I can't look at Snow White the same ever again. XD I can't deny that I find Richard really sexy.....



"My World" - Emigrate
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mcf7SoVytA

* Richard Kruspe went off and did his own thing a few years ago and I love his band Emigrate. <3 I love them so much! I hope he does more. I have the album and I always wear the two shirts I bought too. Ich liebe Richard Kruspe.

[Aerlinn]

I liked the first half or so, it was pretty catchy. Then it got sort of repentative and I mostly though "Yeah, yeah I got it, it's your world. It's not like I wanted to steal it. It looks desert-y and contains too much sand"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmPNuruWMTA&feature=channel

Hunting for Witches - Bloc Party. Basically, the lyrics to this song are in a few simple words why politics currently suck so much.

It doesn't hurt it's catchy as hel and that they just generally make lovely music

[Nimriel MîrLomë]

I agree with you Aerlinn, I thought the song was too repetitive. But anyway...

Here´s this song by a portuguese metal band called "Moonspell", the song is called "Luna":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwMf8rJ6VI8

[Aerlinn]

Oh I like it! I have a definite weakness for dramatic music without too much grunting, so yeah. I liked the gothy feel to it. At one point his way of singing reminded me of Type 'O Negative. I mean, different voice, but the way of singing. Yes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC7Jo69XH-Y

And no, you're not alone. No, my cousins, you're not alone.
You're in our talons now, and we're never letting go.
You're in our headlights, frozen, and no, we're not stopping.
You may not believe, but even we were scared at first.

I like this videa The animals morphing into flowers and things burning and living and dying just attracts me I suppose. I like the chaos of life. Even when this is a rather sad story.

[Nimriel MîrLomë]

Hm...interesting I like to watch documentaries about nature.

Here´s another video by the finnish folk metal band Korpiklaani called "Beer Beer".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOKbhQbvpPA

[Eä]

Umm.. too hard rock-ish for my taste but I'm sure it would be fun to sing to it for something like October Fest.. which I've never been to.. but yeah..

This song is with the Belgian choir that made covers of a lot of pop/rock hits. They're good but personally I just like this one. Respire by Scala & Kolacny Brothers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ft7UvrqnhA

PS. The original song by Mickey 3D is quite an interesting - and rather sad - comment to mans abuse and pollution of Earth.

I liked more the 2nd song.

Here´s "Egil Saga" by Faun:

[Haldir of Lórien]

Amazing song. The vocals are so powerful.
