I am in nostalgic mood. After done working on my report, I youtube songs over and over. In fact, I'm just done watching Spice Girls Documentary.
Spice Girls always have a special place in my heart. I have their CD, greatest hit and a tape which I still keep. In fact, I can sing almost all their songs. And I even have one Victoria Beckham's song on my PC. A mind of its own is a very good song, you should check it out.
Another pop Band I like is Backstreet Boys. I don't have any word to say than just liking them. Like the Spice Girls, there came around the same time (BB GG Boom!) And just like the girls, they all have unique personalities. And unlike *NSYNC, all five actually sing!.
I'm just saying that listening to those music bring a big smile to my face. Now I can understand how my mom feels when she played her music.
For me, music is like a space. Probably the smallest space where people look for comfort. It's testy, it's everywhere regardless of surroundings.
Actually, what drives me into writing this blog is because I am listening to NKOTB mix on youtube. I don't know much about them except for the fact that they are very famous in the late 80's. They reunite 2 years ago and the reception was very overwhelming. Seeing them dance in their late 30's brought a smile on my face. It might be true that you can never leave the kid inside of you.
I think NKOTB music is very edgy. I may not know any of the band member, except Joey McIntyre, but they do have a RAPPER!!! Great!
Finally, It's a pop culture that evolves in time. Every history in the era is defined by pop music.
But don't get me wrong here, all right? I mean, I still have a diverse range in musical taste. One they I might turn into so pop, the next I just when totally hard rock, or just in between.
But anyway, if I could describe my music taste, I would say I like "adult alternative". Not too electric, not too hard, not too R&B, just pure rock.
Here are lists of latest music on my youtube collection:
Thinking of You - Katy Perry
I really love this song, I'm just not into her pin-up girl image. I thought it was manufactured, but isn't everything manufactured these days. It is a way to characterize your image together with the music, making it looks more interesting. Few days ago I was criticizing "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga as just a simple pop song, not up to Gaga's standard. But the video keeps people interested.
Lightening Crashes - Live
I simply love this song. It's just so full of emotion. While I am trying to understand the lyrics, it was the music that moves me. I guess that's what Rock means. It doesn't have to riff guitars or rolling drums. Rock is about expressing your feeling to the fullness. I have so many songs on the list that fall on this category. That reason alone makes singer-songwriter like Jewel and Sarah McLachlan a rocker, even though their songs never really have aggressive attitude toward anything, they're all just well expressive.
