a song thread

Posted by Ian Maleney on April 23, 2008 at 7:51pm in GENERAL FORUM

hey all, i was looking around here and i realised that there is nowhere to actually discuss music. i dont mean the making of music, the production of music, making money from music, or anything like that. i mean just music. i think that is systematic of a developing problem that i see in modern music, that actual songs are being forgotten in the face of widespread cheap technology. why not have a thread to discuss music, the songs youve been wowed by lately, the lyrics that have really impressed you, the songs that have changed your life. none of us would be here, making music if not for the love of it in the first place. so im going to start it off with a line from one of the greatest songwriters of our times, "i fell for the promise, of a life with a purpose, but i know thats impossible now."- Conor Oberst, 17. been listening to letting off the happiness constantly lately, such a statement of intent. anyone else kow it? or been having a similar experience yourself?

Is this just part one or the full thing.

Wasn't over struck with the Coldplay freebie to be honest.

I wouldn't download Coldplay if I was paid to do it.; ▶ Reply to This
