Following three times a QOTD (for a reason), it is time for something else, something lighter…a, uhh, SONG of the Day! 😉

The alternative rock band OK Go is mostly known for their amazing video clips (check out the clips for ‘This Too Shall Pass‘ and ‘Here it Goes Again‘!)…and they did it again:

The band set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles and drove a Chevrolet Sonic equipped with extensions striking musical instruments along the sides of the road…it took them 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording and, well, the result is FAN-friggin’-TASTIC!

The song is called Needing/Getting, listen and watch how the creativity unfolds itself:

Welcome back NL!! Duh…it is pretty stormy outside, yet quiet ‘inside’ on this Saturday evening…the realization that life IS and sometimes you need to ‘Just Breathe‘ and continue on the path of Life.

Take a moment to listen to the music and lyrics of this great Song of the Day; Pearl Jam with Just Breathe!

It is Friday night and I have a quiet weekend coming up; time to rest, reflect, get stuff done and let things be.

The Song of the Day relates to my mood and is a perfect kick-off for this weekend: Snow Patrol with Chasing Cars…FANTASTIC, enjoy!!

I recently (re)discovered Antony and the Johnsons, their song ‘Bird Gerhl‘ from the ‘I am a Bird Now‘ album is perfect companon for this nice and quiet Saturday.

My tip: light up some candles, switch off the light, press play and close your eyes…Njoy!

OMG, I could not believe that this song did not make it to a Song of the Day yet: The White Stripes with Seven Nation Army!

TGIF and have a great weekend y’all!!

Note to self; play more Jack White, one of the most unrated guitarists if this time! (whether that is The White Stripes, The Raconteurs or The Dead Weather!)

A perfect Song of the Day to kick-start the weekend: Kate Ryan with Désenchantée!!

SO, TGIF everrrryyyybodyyyyy, put on your dancing shoes and dance the night away!!!! 😉

Btw. the original version is from Mylène Farmer, obviously also available on YouTube, I just happen to like Kate Ryan’s version better for a Friday! 😉

One…of the most fantastic songs ever.
One…but we’re not the same.

One…special moment that I *know* you think of when you hear this song.

One…by U2 as today’s Song of the Day, enjoy!

Haha, only the title of this blogpost might make it impossible for some to read this post (thanks to censorship in some parts of this world 🙁 ), but I couldn’t resist: this song brings back memories from way back! I am actually still amazed that it ever got approved for broadcast with its lyrics and supporting videoclip, ha!

Well, what the heck, it is Saturday night, so get on the dancefloor and bring-it-onnnn: 2 Live Crew with Me so Horny! 😉

Although I already posted a Song of the Day earlier this week, there is one particular song that is SO matching my life these days (and coming weekend) that I just *have to* post this one!!

Sak Noel with Loca People as I am working ‘all day…all night…all day…all night’ and the only thing I can think of is: WTF!! 😉

Enjoy peeps!

Today’s Song of the Day is for those who feel the energy flowing through the music and lyrics, for those who can use the energy, those who deserve it…Live with Lightning Crashes.

A song about life; deaths and births which I translate as closures and new beginnings…’what you’re seeing in the clip is actually a happy ending based on a kind of transference of life’.

Do you feel it?

Oh, now feel it comin’ back again
Like a rollin’ thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin’ from the center of the earth again
I can feel it…

I can feel it!!

This is the only song that I missed at the Prince concert last Tuesday…

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today 2 get through this thing called life…yessss, it is Prince with ‘Let’s Go Crazy‘, what a FANTASTIC song!! And, with a busy workweek ahead, I believe it is a great song for a Sunday night, don’t you think? 😉

TGIF y’all! 😉

Today’s Song of the Day brings back memories from way back…WHAT a great song: Van Morrison with ‘Have I Told You Lately”!
So, sit back, relax and listen…let the song come in, close your eyes and feel what it does to you!

This one is for all the people I LOVE!

Yayyy, it is SUMMER y’all!! Time for the ultimate (one of many actually) summer Song of the Day: DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince – Summertime !!
I send you sun if you ain’t got no sun these days, there is more than enough to share from sunny Corsica! 😉

Coldplay played many, many great songs last Saturday, I liked this one the best…Yellow!!

I have a weekend of ‘me’-time ahead of me…my choice for tonight: to sleep or not to sleep? Well, haha, let *this* song be the answer…TGIF, y’all yay!! 😉

Faithless with Insomnia, I CAN’T sit still when this one plays…so, feet of the ground and DANCE!!! (oh, and the real fun starts at 2m18s into the clip, Njoy!!) 😉

Thank God It’s Friday y’all! Today’s Song of the Day is one of my favorite songs to unwind and literally fade out…perfectly matching my feeling after a busy week and a long night partying hard! 😉

Radiohead with ‘Street Spirit (Fade Out)’…Njoy!!

Yayyy, Thank God It’s Friday!! 😉

Time to relax, which is really EEEAAAASY with this Prince track: one of his best songs, ever…’Sometimes it snows in April‘!

Ha, and sometimes it doesn’t (snow in April); the last snow fell on March 31st, still close enough! 😉

The Song of this Thank God It’s Friday-Day: Everything But The Girl with ‘Missing‘!

This track brings back goooood memories from the mid 90’s: dancing the night away in clubs all over the country, yay! 😉

Thank God It’s Fridaaayyyyyy!! The Song of the Day is matching today’s spirit: The Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling!

Let’s dance and have a party!

This is a *great* song, with a serious undertone: The Stereophonics with ‘Maybe Tomorrow‘…it’s for all to realize that it ‘may be tomorrow’, yet the moment is always today, NOW!
