Great Songs Ever
Many bands and their great songs excite me these days. Some are widespread up to now, others are old-fashioned but mesmerizing. They are all fantastic as far as I'm concerned. Pulp and Red Hot Chili Pepper are two great bands that I discovered so far. Pulp's "Underwear" and "Disco 2000" are so fabulous because the voice of the vocalist is so low that reminds me of the style of "back to the ancients." Besides Pulp, a song can be heard at least one or zero times since I bet you've never heard of it, The Wedding Present's "Interstate 5." Also, Smashing Pumpkin's "1979" marks a recollection of past in young age on campus. Perhaps I will cry by the time I graduate from university and have more sense of sentiment for being sad, ha ha, who knows. Well, these are great songs that I've been listening to. In addition, I'd like to recommend Red Hot Chili Pepper's new song entiltled "Monarchy of Roses" since the mixed sounds of bass in the song transform the melodies from rough to smooth. The rough part somehow discloses the monarchy which implies a sense of conformity. It's like some significant political role who would make an short speech used by the megaphone. In the smooth part, this song seems to reveal the love of liberty by virtue of the image of the roses, exposing the constraint to the public. When listening this song, the public may feel delighted, and create some other positive sides towards the odd condition they have been through. But I think the coolest part is that the music video shows the combination with scratches and music, don't know if the band collaborate with the artist, Raymond Pettibon. However, they did apply the caricature of Raymond Pettibon to the music video. As following the scratches and its sense of fluidity with the melody, I am led to explore Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Monarchy of Roses," for it obtains the meaning of the song profoundly with less effort. Something occurs to me. If I were an instructor, I would assign this song for students by choosing one idiom from this song as the deconstruction to give interpretations on their own. For instance, there are many idioms within, but the latter part of the music video, "PAINT THE ALL UNUTTERABLE," is the most striking. "[T]he unutterable" may fall on the face of music or something abstract. This impresses me a lot since the words are so short but embody the concept of limitless freedom, showing that the potentialities of infinite as well as the possibilities of imaginative power lie in every human beings.
