I gotta be honest I probably wouldn’t have put the original track on the turntable, but I also wouldn’t have turned it off…
I can only imagine putting yourself out there as an artist must be one tough act to follow …. pardon the pun… Harder again, pulling off a cover of a track that swept the planet, went platinum… and since been listed on a Rolling Stone’s top 100 songs of the Decade and furthermore their Top 500 songs of all time….
In 2012 Iggy Pop released a covers album, Après, translated to, After in English. In his own words, Iggy wanted to bring some of the feeling he felt as a listener to us, the listeners.
Feel like screaming just for something different to do? When the voice in your head is louder than the voices around you, it is time for a break. It can feel so constant, the things we tell ourselves we have to do, or even, the things others tell us we should be doing. Do, do, do, do, do….AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
This track is about going out dancing and having fun with your friends over drinks in the club or at a party. Sometimes alcohol can be your ally. 😉 The jazzy, feel good vibes that the song incorporates makes you forget about all of your worries allowing you to propel yourself into the night and take on whatever the night may have in store for you.
This track is about a night of great passion and fun with a certain person. The person later learns that their lover has had a child and so begins to identify the narrator as the child’s provider. Despite the songs message, it’s melody, hook and bass lines holds enough power to get you moving, kicking and screaming its classic lyrics whilst among the crowd.
This is a track about going out with some close buddies of yours while looking to get into a bit of suggested mischief – Some mischief that one will never forget 😉 –
This is a track about breaking away from your every day boring routine of a life and stepping onto the dance floor when you hear the DJ playing your song. From it’s lyrical content to it’s boogie fever inducing beat it ultimately encourages you to appreciate life more though on an entirely new level. Listening/dancing to this track makes you realize that life has a much more deeper meaning than most are readily willing to comprehend…
This is a track about the celebration of life – particularly about coming of age, letting loose and having fun- as is the event of transitioning to adulthood.
When I first heard the start of this song, I expected it to be a fun, club type beat with the DJ mustard sounding bassline and catchy melody, however as the song progresses I quickly learned that not all was as it seemed…
This is most certainly a track that deserves far more recognition than it has received. The thing that grabbed me most about this track was the atmosphere Rasiir has created; I love the combination of percussion and sound effects with the left-to-right panning, to create the encapsulating listening experience.
I first heard this song at a friend’s house in a very quiet, relaxed setting. We were having a very deep conversation until this song started…Within 20 seconds of the song starting we were jumping around the room in a frenzy of hype and excitement to this song.
I had a lot of time to think of the holidays. My phone broke and I saw it as a perfect opportunity to take a social media break. I had always thought to myself that it was something I could never do because I was so addicted to everyone else’s social life. But in the end it wasn’t hard at all…
Melis Danişmend yıllardır çok severek dinlediğim bir sanatçı. Müziğinde gerçekten özel bir şeyler var. Daha Az Renk ve Biraz Gülmek İstiyordum gibi muhteşem albümlerden sonra ne gelecek çok merak ediyordum. 2016’da epey güzel bir iş ortaya çıktı, dolu dolu bir albüm: Ve Ev. Tam anlamıyla klasik bir Melis Danişmend albümü, tarzında en ufak bir değişiklik yok; hala çok basit ve etkileyici. Bütün albüm şöyle bir gözden geçirin, bittiğinde şarkı listelerinize bir sürü yeni şarkı girmiş olacak. “Bugünler Parlak?” ise geçen yıla şöyle bir göz atıp, yeni yıla başlamak için isabetli bir şarkı.
