Revival

I've been DYING to write here. Been listening to a lot of diverse music over the last month.... I'll just write about the one that inspired me to write.

Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous' - You better believe it! I was reading the Rolling Stone this morning and while leafing through the 40 most important songs, I came across MJ's Billie Jean and all of a sudden I could hear the mellifluous beats of "Who is it" through my head. It was time to resurrect a classic no? Listening to the album now - brings a wave of memories from childhood. Love love love Michael Jackson. Fuck the hype!

Other stuff:-
-Arcade Fire's new album
-Lucky Ali's 'Sifar', 'Aks', 'Sunoh'
-Timbaland's 'Shock Value'
-Justin Timberlake's new album
-U2's 'Pop'
-Led Zeppelin's 'Presence'
-Nirvana's 'Smells like Teen Spirit'
-Corinne Bailey Rae's new album
-Coldplay's 'X&Y'
-Norah Jones's second album
-Karsh Kale's 'Broken English'
-The Strokes's first album
-Devdas OST

Lettting go

Song of the day...

"Let Go"

drink up baby down
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing your tragedy
These mishaps
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

[Chorus:]
So, let go,let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, l-let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can't await
your own arrival
you've twenty seconds to comply

[Chorus:]
So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

[Background sounds]

[Chorus:]
So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

In the breakdown
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
The breakdown

So amazing here
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
