Favorite music
Anouk - Lost
I just love this song.
Counting Crows - Colorblind
This song and I go way back. To me it's one of the best songs ever made.
Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind
One of my favorite songs in the past 12 months. What a monumental tribute to one of the greatest city in the world. Love it!
K'Naan - Take a minute
I like this song. It resonates. It swings.
Bruce Springsteen - Dancing in the dark
Ah, The Boss. The line "You can't start a fire without a spark" from Dancing in the dark is one of the most important sentences in my life. The best things in life come from passion. I enjoy nothing more than watching passion, as well as helping to create and direct passion. That is why I like this video so much -- not only do the lyrics nail it, Bruce's performance is also living proof of it.
I only saw Bruce Springsteen once. A number of years ago my dad took me to a Bruce Springsteen concert -- it's been the only rock concert I've ever been to with my dad, making it a special experience on its own. The concert itself was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen -- the level of sustained energy and joy was simply incredible.
For all these reasons, watching the video above makes me start my day with a smile. I'm one lucky bastard.
Milow - Born in the eighties
One of my favorite songs of the past 2 years. Milow, is a Belgian singer-songwriter.
Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
Another post in my favorite music series. This time, a song from the Smashing Pumpkins, a band that I listened to a lot in the formative years of my youth. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was one of the very first albums that I ever bought. Many people loathe Billy Corgan's voice, but to me, his voice is what makes the Smashing Pumpkins so unique -- even today.
