#Ten songs meme

[spockandawe]

@curlicuecal tagged me into the post meme about ten songs! I'll go ahead and post ten songs by ten artists that I've been particularly fixated on lately, it's all personal bias all the way down, babey

Colm McGuinness: Sleeping In The Cold Below - Let's start off with a representative sample, my head is filled with folk and filk and irish and shanties, just check out this artist for a clear breakdown of my tastes, because I could fill out the whole list with just this man's work. Musically speaking, if I could grow up to be anyone, it would be HIM. I yearn so hard for his instrument collection and vocal range, even if I'm operating in different octaves.

Malinda: Dúlamán - Feels slightly like cheating, because I'm fairly sure I found her through Colm McGuinness (the Hoist The Colors collab), but god, her voice is DIVINE, and she's got a fantastic balance of trad covers and newer music. Songs in gaelic can be tricky to rec, even if I'm about to do it again, but some of them just have so much bewitching LIFE that I can't resist.

Celtic Woman: Téir Abhaile Riú - I have to tell you, it was both disorienting and delightful when this started getting used as a sound in tiktoks. The short excerpt is good, but the whole song is so much fun! I know it's kind of redundant to talk up Irish songs as being catchy as hell, but this is really such a good one.

The Longest Johns: On The Railroad - Speaking of catchy... I'm a basic binch, give me a train song that sounds like a train, and I'm all over that to an embarrassing degree. Skimbleshanks isn't going to be on here, but only because it'd be cheating, I wasn't thinking about it until I started thinking about why I like this. And you get a train song that's ALSO a work song? Hell yes, gimme

Great Big Sea: Process Man - I agonized over what Great Big Sea song to include (old black rum? donkey riding? excursion around the bay?) but this is truly such a classic, it's so catchy and memorable. And it's great if you're feeling like an exploited #resource at your day job!

The High Kings: McAlpine's Fusiliers - Speaking of being an exploited, expendable resource, ONE LAST IRISH SONG. But I can't leave this out! The High Kings are so good, but McAlpine's Fusiliers is the CATCHIEST melody line by any artist. I am typing slowly because I have no choice to sing along since I opened the video to get the url, send help

Hozier: The Humours Of Whiskey - You know I really intended to have other flavors of music on here too, but. Again, the song is too catchy for me to resist. This is only a partial cover of the full song, because he's just doing it offhand. But his voice is so perfect and the delivery so flawless, I live for this 52 second clip, haha

Delta Rae: Bottom Of The River - Technically I am showing a little more range than previous entries have done, but uh, I know that's only barely/technically true. But there's so much good stuff in this weird corner! And my mainest criteria for how much I like music is how fun it is to sing along, and this is seriously peak singalong content.

The Merry Wives Of Windsor: Siuil A Run: Oh no, another gaelic title. But it's also partly in english, and this is another song I'll listen to by anyone who covers it, and another group where I'll listen to any music they produce! I recommend their entire back catalog, very strongly. Fair warning they have a notable bawdy portion of their catalog, but I'm being good and not linking something like 'come roll me away,' or 'the cockerel song,' so you can listen without fear. But they are SUCH a fun group, I love them to bits.

Mary Black: Colcannon - Ah, screw it, I have a brand. Let's wrap it up with a song that's literally about potatoes! Also an impossibly catchy melody. This song has been stuck in my head since it absolutely Ruined me with homesickness back in grad school. And you know what, I'm also linking this bonus version with worse audio, but it's a 1986 recording of the black family on tv. There's just something about watching irish singing that makes me LIVE.

oh no, tagging people. I'm chickening out, sorry. If you want to do it and point your finger at me, go for it! but it's been a long week and I contracted a bad case of the Shy it looks like

Rules: List ten songs that you really like, each by a different artist, and tag ten people.

1. Neptune, the Mystic - Gustav Holst (when I was a kid/teenager, I used to fall asleep listening to this)

2. Sleep Now in the Fire - Rage Against the Machine (I just love songs that use first person lyrics to describe the actions or consequences of a nebulous entity)

3. Hearts Like Ours - The Naked and Famous (a lot of people interpret this song as being about anxiety and whatnot, but the singer’s parents were refugees and I think anyone with family that has been uprooted as a result of events out of their control can kind of tap into that feeling that, to me, is apparent in this song)

4. It’s Alright - Mother Mother (or really anything by Mother Mother - I find them the most relatable band when it comes to mental health struggles)

5. Rebellion (Lies) - Arcade Fire

6. La Cygne (The Swan) - Camille Saint-Saëns

7. No Talking - The Zolas (2020 in a nutshell/history repeats itself I suppose)

8. Touch - July Talk (saw them perform this live and it was 👀)

9. Flux - Bloc Party (this song is at the beginning of my running playlist because it gives me a kick in the ass to get going lol)

10.  新宝島 - Sakanaction (we liked to sing this at karaoke when I was working in Japan 😆)

Ten Songs Game

@alyssalenko​ tagged me in this a while ago & I kept a tab open in my browser so I wouldn’t forget to do it when I finished NaNo.  Apparently I’m supposed to share 10 songs I’m crazy about.  I have a lot of songs I’m crazy about, so we’ll see how hard it is to narrow this down.

1.  Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park

2.  1,000 Years by Christina Perri

3.  Love Me Like You Do - Ellie Goulding

4.  His Brightest Star Was You by Two Steps From Hell

5.  An End, Once and for All by Clint Mansell & Sam Hulick (ME3 soundtrack)

6.  My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark by Fall Out Boy

7.  Time by Hans Zimmer (Inception Soundtrack)

8.  All Ends are Beginnings by Michael Salvatore, C Paul Johnson, & Sky Lewin (Destiny Soundtrack)

9.  The Sound of Silence by Disturbed

10.  The Show Must Go On by Queen

I could have put a lot more Mass Effect or Two Steps from Hell stuff on this list, but I was only allowed to have 10 songs.  Also, there are several songs on this list that have inspired various fanfic bits (most of which are still in my head or otherwise unposted).  And now I have a ton of feels, so I should go.

10 songs meme

10 song I am currently obsessed with. I got tagged a little while ago by @invite-me-to-your-memories, thanks!

Ok ok here goes. I do not care for genres or popular mores. We go from mid-C19th folk music to early 90s Eurovision without a second thought. Enjoy. Or flee.

1 and 2. Lord Franklin aka Lady Franklin's Lament - multiple versions

I know it's a bit of a cop-out, but I can't pick just one. I think I like Martin Carthy's best, but Pentangle's gets stuck in my head easiest. Lady Jane Franklin is not my favourite historical person. I admire her determination to find out what happened to her husband, but she was quite happy to quash anyone who threatened her eulogised portrait of Franklin, and the repeated expeditions she urged don't seem to have gained much — and of course, she didn't want to hear about it when John Rae brought back news of cannibalism. This ballad, whether it was commissioned by her or not, is a perfect summary of all I respect and also dislike about her, and all that is attractive - misleadingly so - about the expeditions to the Passage. It is a gorgeous, manipulative, evocative ballad that romanticises the doomed expedition, but in the right hands it really is heart-wrenching, as those horrible deaths were, whoever they happened to.

3. Bubbi Morthens - Rómeó og Júlía

Ah melodramatic Icelandic pop about drug addicts. I only twigged the latter bit when I had to look up the lyrics because I worked out it wasn't a straight retelling of the Shakespeare play... Anyway, I couldn't get it out of my head, at least it was 'language preparation' for Iceland last month.

4. Eyjólfur Kristjánsson - Enginn veit

Uhhh @mardymaid has asked me many times about guilty pleasures and I can safely now say that this is one. Early 90s Icelandic Eurovision entrants! Derivative pop music that sounds at least a decade older! But... I love this track. I was legitimately sad not to hear him played in any Rvk clubs, but I did recognise him on the radio in a café in Stykkishólmur, so win, I guess?

5. Maximo Park - Apply Some Pressure

At any given time it is a fact that I will be obsessed with at least one MP song. This is the current one, a classic, because I got to dance to it with my mate at her wedding the other week. Banging.

6. Manic Street Preachers - Hold me Like a Heaven

Best track on the new album, hands down. "I hate the world more than I hate myself / I can't pretend that it's a cry for help."

7. LCD Soundsystem - how do you sleep?

I came to this album absurdly late (and to This is Happening if I'm honest). But I finally caught up this summer because I love pop-epics-as-existential-crises, and the drums on this are also HUGE and it came on while I was making eyes at the sea last night which was so perfect, just as the sun dipped low enough to kiss the horizon.

8. Johnny Flynn - Detectorists

I long for season 3 to come on Netflix! Why didn't I listen to everyone sooner, then I could have watched it when it aired! I love Johnny Flynn anyway, and this is such a perfect, gentle accompaniment to a gentle show. It gets stuck in my head A Lot.

9. Mélusine - Le meurtre dans le bois

Look, my kind of gigs are the kind where the band quietly announces with an awkward laugh 'this is a murder ballad' and the audience cheers. If it's in archaic French, so much the better.

10. Tori Amos - Suede

I don't know how I missed this album for so long either, it's so goooood. This is one of my favourite tracks on it, lyrically and musically, and I love that ending.

This was actually a bit harder because I've been travelling and listening to music less than normal, but I'm always so happy to be tagged in these things! I tag anyone who wants to do it: @ladytharen , @jimtheviking, @dolorosa, @mardymaid, @donnaimmaculata if you like, and anyone else who wants to get involved
