Music takes us back - Kim Wilde - You Came

Image
In what mood am I today? Something from my today's experience reminded me of something in the past? Or I just remembered something and music from the past takes me back. Or I just want to listen to that song I liked once. See if you remember this one: Kim Wilde - You Came In my class at school there was a girl who had a similar hair colour and style as Kim Wilde. And I think now did I like her while being a teenager because she looked a bit as Kim Wilde or I liked Kim Wilde because she reminded me a bit that girl at school who started early to hang out with the boys and much cooler than me of course. I don't know much about the girl from the school. But Kim's biggest hits I newly discovered again after a long time.

I did not have R.E.M. recordings at home at the time. I new the the group from listening on the radio. So it's a bit a discovery for me of old things. I have read a bit about the writing the song, first and only R.E.M. love song and so on and the drums part of it which I find great in this song. But at the same something simple that just goes from inside. It took me a while to get over this one at some stage of my life.

See if you remember this one: Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer Extract from "Bad Medicine" video slightly rephrased and shortened from what I could understand: "Is this gonna be the same video slap that we get with these glamour of pretty boys? .... Is that good enough for you?"

See if you remember this one: Metallica - Enter Sandman I will not comment on superstars when I am a "so so fan": ''Say your prayers, little one Don't forget, my son To include everyone I tuck you in, warm within Keep you free from sin Till the Sandman he comes Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand We're off to Never—, Neverland''

See if you remember this one: U2 - Every Breaking Wave One close person to me during my university years told me that she did not like U2 because all their songs were the same. Check this one then. Fighters U2 with Bono in front sending their message from wooden house backyard, "well front lawn, technically" citing comment from Youtube. Song itself is new to me and it beats most other U2 songs I have heard before.

Music takes us back - Van Halen - Jump

Or I just want to listen to that song I liked once. See if you remember this one: Van Halen - Jump After many years I listen to this song differently, good rhythm, good classic rock is still the same. Maybe I did not understand the words of it properly: "And I know, baby, just how you feel You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real Ah, can't you see me standin' here I got my back against the record machine I ain't the worst that you've seen Ah, can't you see what I mean? Ah, might as well jump Might as well jump Go ahead an' jump Go ahead and jump"

With friends who were into hard rock at the time we thought it was soft. Now, with age maybe, I listen again to some of their songs and I find them really really great. Hysteria is definitely one of the best.
