Cosmic Love and Drumming Song, they're my jams. Thank you random people on YT for making Merlin vids to her.

Habte · 01-16-2010, 03:58 PM

My favs are Rabbit Heart, Cosmic Love, Dog Days and Drumming. YGTL is briliant too but I prefer the Candi Stanton version better.

I love all the random sounds and mixes she gets away with on her tracks. It's like the music has no real order

but that's what makes each song sound epic.

menz815 · 01-16-2010, 04:04 PM

I think my fav is the fact that she used those damn drums so much...I love her hardassness with the drum use.

makes me regret not ever playing the drums when I had the chance.

Habte · 01-16-2010, 04:19 PM

She is badass. And vocally she's on point. I think she sounds like a bastardized version of Sarah Mclachlan.

Mo. You on the drums. The image is cracking up.

menz815 · 01-16-2010, 04:50 PM

i think she's got a bit of KT Tunstall in there, wont lie. but your analogy is spot on.

don't laugh or I'll beat you with my sticks!

Co-signed.

Felt it in my fists, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids

ETA;

I didn't originate the thread babe. LOL. Mo. Do your business.

decem · 01-18-2010, 07:19 PM

Ack! I thought Mo told me you started it and when I clicked the link I just scrolled down without looking.

MB! Get in here and add me!

YESSS. That line is one my faves in the song.

Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realise that it was you who held me under

Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs

Genius.

Habte · 01-24-2010, 01:59 PM

Awesome lyrics Ash.

Btw, check out the original version of YGTL. I love it so much more. LOL.

YouTube - Candi Staton - You Got the Love

Reminds me of my ravin days.
