[Tubeway Army ] Gary Numan Are 'Friends' Electric?

"Are 'Friends' Electric?"

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing
In a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought
I remembered you

So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And issues
And things that I just don't understand
A white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you

So I open the door
It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway
'Please sit down'
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love

So I found out your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
It must be time to leave
You see it meant everything to me

I Was Wrong - Chris Stapleton:

This song is just so damn powerful, both in the lyrics and the delivery. Amazing.......

Ok so I have to share this because it cracks me up. I already posted this clip. I'm a huge Keith Flint fan.

Now if anyone has time to, watch this video, doesn't it kinda look like Keith and Homie w the dreds party down, hang out, and belong there.

Then we have guy # 3. Anyone else think it kinda looks like he went to a Backstreet boys audition, went through the wrong door, and accidentally ended up in a Prodigy video?? Rotfl I just find this video hilarious, for that reason.

Sidenote; Jesus Christ, how many belts does one guy need?

Were there any songs or tracks that you noticed got people particularly heated ie horny and spending?
Asking for a friend hehe

"Riders On The Storm"

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan.
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

Honestly, not really. The performer would make or break the song. You could take a timeless sexy song like Leave your Hat On by Joe Cocker but if an entertainer could not vibe with it or move to it, the song choice is moot. A good entertainer with the moves and sensuality would take the song to another level. For the most part, the music is just a beat to dance and move to. The performer on stage is what sells it.
But even the best of entertainers, if given music that they did not know or could not vibe with, would have a sub-par performance.

Thanks, I kinda thought this was going to be the answer. But, you never know.

Yeah. Otherwise it's mainly just a matter of reading the room to identify music that will be a mood killer for the audience and not play that.
For example, there is a great rule of thumb that whatever music you are into at 18yo to mid-twenties, you'll kinda dig for the rest of your life. So if the rooms average age is 55, do the backwards math to find what was real popular in that time period and it will play well. Likewise when most of the room is 20-30yo, the music you play is going to be a LOT newer and edgier.

This tracks also.
I employ that rule, to my own financial and energetic benefit, frequently

"Love Is The Drug"

T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell

Aggravated
I spare for days
I troll downtown
The red light place
I jump up, bubble up
What's in store?
Love is the drug
And I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl
Where the beat goes on

Stitched up tight
Can't shake free
Love is the drug
Got a hook on me

Oh, catch that buzz
Love is the drug
I'm thinking of
Oh, can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Late that night
I parked my car
Staked my place
In the singles bar
Face to face
Toe to toe
Heart to heart
As we hit the floor

Lumbered up, limbo down
The locked embrace
The stumble round
I say, "Go," she say, "Yes."
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Oh, catch that buzz
Love is the drug
I'm thinking of
Oh, can't you see
Love is the drug
Got a hook in me

Oh, get that buzz
Love is the drug
I'm thinking of
Oh, can't you see
Love is the drug for me

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Love is, love is
Love is the drug

I really enjoy revisiting the Prodigy, but confess to being a bit conflicted by SMBU..... never thought much about that one back in the day but I do now.

"Avalon"

Now the party's over
I'm so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication
In a motion
Without conversation
Or a notion

Avalon

When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background's fading
Out of focus
Yes, the picture's changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it

Avalon

Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing

When you bossa nova
There's no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere

Avalon

Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon

 

[Garduskippa]

I see the animals start to hide
A flood of plague bearers comes alive
Hear now the beak sings
Of red wings that Hell brings
Are you ready now?

The seal has opened
The veil is off
Bring the rampage above

The gates are broken
The veil is off
Bring the rampage above

Leaves fall and trees bend in Autumn's wake
As you hide within your homes, the three heads take
See now the beast rage
In time your fate awaits
Are you ready now?

The seal has opened
The veil is off
Bring the rampage above

The gates are broken
The veil is off
Bring the rampage above
Oh, the hills come alive
Oh, the hills come alive
Oh, the hills come alive
Oh, the hills come alive

You know it's referring to Heroin right? Smack is heroin. Uuugh. The original video is actually a female POV, and got banned because conservative Americans love censoring things they don't fully understand.
Sorry man, that one just kind of irritates me.
There's a huge DV problem in the US, so ofcourse it's huge everywhere else too, right /s
I try really hard to be patient with projection, but that one just fucking annoys me.

 

[Garduskippa]

@MarieElise What do you think of Dool above?
Dutch band.

I might give them a listen later, I got a bunch of responses I;m trying to work through in order right now. But thank you Sweetie.

The vocals in that song were sampled and slightly altered from 'Give the Drummer Some' by Ultramegnetic MCs, and the original lyrics by Kool Keith are "Switch up, change my pitch up, Smack my bitch up, like a pimp".
I also recall the original video clip that was banned in many locations, and what it depicted.
But happy to leave that one as a point of difference.

Whatever Rod. Whatever. This thread was becoming a chore anyways

When you are arguing with someone it's an unfair argument technique to drop a bunch of points, then walk away.
I'd go as far as to say it's pretty cowardly.

Have a lovely weekend dickhead
I'll most certainly be leaving it at that too! Rude!

RIP Beautiful & Talented Keith you poor, bullied, misunderstood & sweet soul Bless your heart for at least trying! May your soul rest in peace!

Interstate Love Song - Stone Temple Pilots:

 

[Maxi]

I’m in the kitchen drinking a glass of rubbish white wine and listening to Gomez. I love the name Gomez, it’s always makes me chuckle.

 

[rockin_rod]

I don't know Gomez, so will give that one a listen.
The kitchen is where I most often listen to music, usually while cooking or tidying up - and often with a drink or two

 

[Maxi]

They’re a cool band - They won the Mercury Music Prize in ‘98 for their debut ‘Bring it on’.

Such a good album.

And yep, Kitchen + music + food =

"Bark At The Moon"

[Osbourne]

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon
Ha ha ha ha ha...

Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon

They cursed and buried him along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone, gone
In empty burning hell - unholy one
But he's returned to prove them wrong (so wrong)
Ooh, yeah baby

Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon
Oh Oh yeah, bark at the moon
