I think I've forgotten some

they used to shout my name, now they whisper it
Driving anger; strange imagery to play with or concretize; maybe cyborgs?
Genghis Khan - Miike Snow (Music Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_SlAzsXa7E
http://genius.com/Miike-snow-genghis-khan-lyrics
Cause I don’t really want you, girl / but you can’t be free / cause I’m selfish, I’m obscene
Yeah, so if you haven’t heard this one, prepare to be earwormed. The video features tropey spy/supervillain m/m, dance-offs, and a woman of mystery.
Beautiful Stranger - Madonna (Song)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlMMeVw0W5Y
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/madonna/beautifulstranger.html
But to love you is to be part of you
Along with the potential for stories about spies or cults, there’s an ecstatic tone to this that I’d love to see explored.
White Room - Cream (Song)
http://www.reasontorock.com/tracks/white_room.html
(I can’t decide on a favourite version…)
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
It’s just a beautiful piece of music and a beautiful poem.
Running Through the Garden - Fleetwood Mac (Song)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdjbU1vWdJg
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/fleetwoodmac/runningthroughthegarden.html
Until she herself became the toxic garden / Always frightened, no future at all
A repeat request - the imagery in this song fascinates me, and there’s so much at stake here.
All Moments Leading to This - Lucid 3 (Song)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufeikkpn6WI
http://artists.letssingit.com/lucid-3-lyrics-all-moments-leading-to-this-htqwkb6#axzz43FVHn5Jg
’Cause I’m going home to take my oath on things I know
A quiet but lovely song that builds up its sense of purpose in amongst longing, nostalgia, hope, fragility.
Whipping Boy - Shearwater (Song)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc4zNyMwWj0
http://lyrics.wikia.com/wiki/Shearwater:Whipping_Boy
I would have washed in the blood of an innocent man
Someone else’s nomination previously - it might be mine this year. It’s haunting and there’s a lot to work with.
Outlook for Thursday - DD Smash (Song)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TIj-l3nykw
http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/dave_dobbyn/outlook_for_thursday.html
Wednesday, don’t mention Wednesday / Not a good one at all
I don’t know if I want to nominate this, but I do want to share it with you all because it is a Very Formative piece of Kiwi music and also weird. Is it the song of a TV weather announcer to his beloved, something more sinister, or something with a stranger relationship with destiny? Who knows. Also, it’s catchy.
Viva Forever - Spice Girls (Music Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wkuqRFXNvI
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/spicegirls/vivaforever.html
Back where I belong now / Was it just a dream?
Like the best stories of children and fairies, this fantasy doesn’t feel particularly safe… There is a lot to explain.
