04-07-2010, 07:03 PM

I looked Erykah Badu's other song and found "Bag Lady"
Why young trendy singer is singing bag lady and realised it was a deferent type of bag lady.

I have seen a lady like this only half year ago near I work and made me feel sad.

Window seat.
Is this a real story?

Bag Lady is both putting awareness on "bag ladies" (homelessness, segregation, prejudice) and also "baggage" to do with relationships and life. "Pack light" she says, ever-influential meaning of not keeping things on your shoulders and perhaps escapism?

As for Window Seat...

The song 'Window Seat' is about liberating yourself from layers and layers of skin or demons that are a hindrance to your growth or freedom, or evolution. I wanted to do something that said just that, so I started to think about shedding, nudity, taking things off in a very artful way.

— Erykah Badu, on the music video's underyling theme

Erykah is one of the greatest musicians of our times and I suggest everyone give her a listen if you can, she's truly brilliant.

You are truly classical music fan, BB_Eye.
I listened twice, but nothing happened to me.:o (of course this was beautiful music.)
But if I listen to Latin arranged music, Amapola (the first page of the first music) my heart starts beating! :hugesmile:

Wagner is never as good if you only hear the bleeding chunks. You have to experience his operas as a whole. It's also worth noting the tenor in the video I posted is not very good :o or at least I'm not that keen on him.

Hehe, excuses aside, it's not for all tastes, even for musicians (which I am not). I mentioned Brahms really liked Mastersingers, but hated everything else Wagner wrote. It's all subjective in the end. ^_^

There was an opera scene. The girl has seen the opera the first time, she was almost teared. I would not know whether if she was emotional because of the music or story, may be both. (Opera starts around 3:50)

Yeah, I guess in a weird way Pretty Woman is the rom-com equivalent of La Traviata haha. Lucky for Julia Roberts, she lives in more enlightened times where her lifestyle is less of a taboo and gets her happy ending.

That video of the 'Drinking Song' is a really great performance. Placido Domingo is still going strong and is on tour at the moment singing Verdi's Simon Boccanegra.

This lady is my favourite Violetta. She just about beats Maria Callas for me. She doesn't blow you away like Callas, but is far more controlled.

It was used in the movie the Royal Tenenbaums if I remember correctly (the soundtrack was better than the movie, lol). My first year as a student was when I was really enamoured of them. They never had much success in their time and critics hated them, but their debut album is credited for influencing David Bowie, Roxy Music, Brian Eno, T. Rex, the Stooges, the Ramones and most alternative rock music later on. Also two of their ex-members, Lou Reed and John Cale went on to have pretty big solo careers.

I have posted this to a film thread before.

If I have a chance to go to New York, I would love to visit Empire State Building only just because of this film.:blush:

I've sadly never seen An Affair to Remember, but loved Deborah Kerr in the Innocents. My all time favourite horror movie. :D

Really?
I vaguely remember the film. She was a governer, wasn't she?
Ever beautiful Deborah Kerr.

These guys are an Irish post-rock instrumental band, and they make simply amazing music, pleasure for your ears. :)
Check out more of their stuff if you want, this is just one of their many beautiful soothing songs.

I saw 'Le Concert' today. This was the soundtrack to the final scene. I never got into Tchaikovsky's violin concerto before, but really like it now. He really seems to pay tribute to his idol Mozart in this.

I will keep eye on the TV programmes when I have a chance I wish to see this "Le Concert". That part of tune was familiar but I did not it was Tchaikovsky.

All others including lol (nice video, peaceful music), I am afraid they are not familiar for me.

That's quite a dark song. Edith Piaf's voice really brings the best out of it.
