fcam Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I had no idea this thread existed AND IT'S SO AWESOME LIKE :bliss: So much music here I need to check out all these Anyway here is what I wanted to share: This song is from El Cuarteto de Nos' new album, the band is quite big here and in Argentina, and they're known in the rest of Latin America too. Anyway, the album is very different to their previous work and this song is really emotional. The singer's grandmother died of Alzheimer when he was little and now his mother has it too, so he wrote this song for her mother. The song's called 21st September, which is World Alzheimer's Day Here is the translation of the lyrics Your so transparent look going right through us So absent and so distant Shining of sadness and insecurity Glowing of fear and loneliness Doubting who's in your skin There you are, prisoner of this damned disease That turned off the light of your being That shattered your memories which are never coming back And life ambushes you again Searching, without knowing it, springs, cure and peace Your memory does not have time or place anymore It's your gestures and your actions It vanished and it's unable to scent Your 21 grames of soul That are there somewhere To think, That some years ago You said with conviction That oblivion is a way of revenge and forgiveness That oblivion is freedom And asserting that contradiction You left so little by little that you never said goodbye And even though I know that my name You won't pronounce anymore It doesn't hurt to listen to you telling The story of your first kiss And in the middle of this war Of rage and bewilderment You're getting lost You're getting lost There you are, prisioner of this damned disease That turned off the light of your being That shattered your memories which are never coming back And life ambushes you again In September, once more Searching, without knowing, springs, cure and peace And some years ago You said with conviction That oblivion is a way of revenge and forgiveness That oblivion is freedom And asserting that contradiction You left so little by little that you never said goodbye Another 21st September ends Goodbye.

Magion Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 This is the live version of the very popular radio song in the Czech republic from last year . The frontman of this band is big fan of U2 and Coldplay and he is very inspired by these two bands. The band is called Kryštof and is it one the most popular band by us. [video=youtube;v4cNsPlBVq8] And this is my favorit song from czech singer Marketa Irglova and irish singer Glen Hansard [video=youtube;FkFB8f8bzbY] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grids Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 [video=youtube;EfSp_YeYMYI] Oh wow she looks Indonesian to me, the country where I come from. But after googling her, she's apparently chinese-malaysian descent. I figured that a bit though :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grids Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 [video=youtube;KC0_soiOPzg] INDONESIAN LYRICS Pertama kali aku tergugah Dalam setiap kata yang kau ucap Bila malam tlah datang Terkadang ingin ku tulis semua perasaan Kata orang rindu itu indah Namun bagiku ini menyiksa Sejenak ku fikirkan untuk ku benci saja dirimu Namun sulit ku membenci Pejamkan mata bila kuingin bernafas lega Dalam anganku aku berada di satu persimpangan jalan yang sulit kupilih Ku peluk semua indah hidupku Hikmah yang ku rasa sangat tulus Ada dan tiada cinta bagiku tak mengapa Namun ada yang hilang separuh diriku Pejamkan mata bila kuingin bernafas lega Dalam anganku aku berada di satu persimpangan jalan yang sulit kupilih ENGLISH TRANSLATION The first time I was amazed by the words that you said When the night comes Sometimes I wanted to write down all the feelings inside People say missing someone is beautiful But for me it is hurtful Sometimes I thought I would rather hate you But it is hard for me to do I would just close my eyes if I wanted to breathe easily In my dream I am on the crossroad of which path I have to choose I embrace all the beauty of my life The wisdom of it I felt so sincere Whether or not love exist for me it does not matter But there is part of me that is missing I would just close my eyes if I wanted to breathe easily In my dream I was at the crossroad of which path I have to choose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Philosopher Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 This is a band from my country (Spain) I usually don't like and don't listen neither to spanish bands or even less to bands that sing in my language, but I quite like this band. I also don't know this band a lot, but I discovered them with their debut album. They are now releasing a new album after an eight year hiatus, and this is the first single: [video=youtube;1_I955Zb-ks] I think you will like it.
