Lets Dance

 

The Toxic Avenger - Angst: One

 

Faithless - Insomnia

 

El-P "Stepfather Factory" (from Fantastic Damage album)

 

I don't particularly like rap, but certain songs that employ a rap style stand out...
I don't speak French, and on first viewing could only leave it open to interpretation...
and that may be part of the impact, like so many things in art...
The subject matter for some, even the artist who created it, may be different from what others see depending on what it directs their attention.
Although I don't have any religious beliefs, I have many beliefs about human nature and psychology, and i saw this while deep in study.

LYRICS translated

Spoiler

Fuck the earth, if I die here's my testament
Place ashes in the mouths of all our opponents
Turn head-on, kick the fakes who come to meditate
I want flowers and kids, may my death serve their future
May Maybe they will understand the meaning of sacrifice
The difference between values and then artifice
I know who will cry and why
You are welcome, there will be no upstarts
Just people from the street
The people press will only have smicards and undocumented people
Badly tailored suits, even if the guys wanted to dress well
Ci-gît Claude, Initiale MC
A kid who wanted the life of others to be like poetry
And above all, won't believe that there will be ten thousand girls
I say that for my family, I hadn't gone into a spin
They throw me some dirt, they lay a few flowers
Alone under his weeping willow tree Solaar Cry
Solaar it's time, listen Solaar is crying
Solaar it's time, listen Solaar is crying
My soul rises, I see you from a low angle
It's those who have already left that I'm going to find
Don't worry, no, I'm leaving for paradise
Not to show off but to profess the seventh prophecy
I held my own to the masters, to the priests, to the traitors
To the false asses without cortex who still dance the funky jerk
If it's you, bend over, walk low profile and shut up
Look for an aura otherwise go, hold on! erase yourself
Apologize for the harm I may have done, it is involuntary
I was a mercenary, rather than a missionary
I am sorry and to be honest I wish that God would whip me
God you are the letter, we must respect you
Archangel, understand me in the name of the father
Some find me exceptional but I didn't do elementary
The mike cries, the leaf cries, the pen cries
And under the weeping willow Solaar cries
Solaar it's time, listen Solaar is crying
Solaar it's time, listen Solaar is crying
I am in paradise, I roam the plains
In search of free riders in the garden of Eden
I controlled the angels, no hatred but no enemies
Otherwise I have the penknife and I inaugurate the murder in paradise
J Played skinny whenever I was provoked
Contemplative and ordered, I forgave without forgiving
But I was no hero, just a dude of bones and water
Now I'm a soul who hovers lost without a pen
Eden exterminator, exterminating angel
Bouncer matador of the divine examiner
Assure me that it is by mistake that I trip with the angels
And sends me immediately towards the flames and then the mire
500 one plus 165, 111 times 6 ,the antichrist barcode
I see pigs and boars, fire and blood linked
I pray because I'm afraid, Satan is laughing,
Solaar is crying, Solaar is crying, Solaar is crying
No, why me? It's a mistake
Keep me, I'm noble of heart
Stop the heat, I'm spitting on Beelzebub
I'll keep the faith and then I get the uppercut
Why the blame? Why these flames?
Why this roaster who burns us?
This Chétane donkey hovers over our souls
He lives by fire, will perish by the flame thrower
From Lake Lancelot, double A of the grail
Rabbi, priest, imam, pray, help oim, why me?
Why this karma, Zarma, I carried the faith to Fatma's hand
I'm like a desperado gladiator
Sent to hell for a commando mission
Lucifer can't you see that God is strong
If we are united, we will will send to touch death
Solaar is crying, his tears are extinguishing the flames
Free the souls, bring Abraham back to life
The devil is in agony, let's unite our forces
Great Architect Buddha, Theresa, let's puff up our chests
Pray, help me, he is staggering, he is limping
He is burning up, he is smokes, he only has one paw left
I see that he is in pain, I see that he is screaming
He created evil and it is evil that burns him
Good enters the beast of the apocalypse
As if pushed by a helix so that his aura eclipses
Rael, Ezekiel, with the light fight the supreme evil Evil
howls, I hear it howl
Flowers grow, el diablo is charred
It implodes, it explodes
Andantimatter spring bruises
Satan is dead, good comes back to life
When will the earth be a new paradise
We no longer know what to do, we no longer know what to do
Hell is on Earth and who manages it?

 

Things that change how you see everything... how you feel about everything.
It isn't always about falling in love with a person.
Sometimes it's about discovering ways to forgive all people in ways you hadn't realized even existed..
To better understand what we really ARE in this universe...
The love that enables surely makes one feel alive...for the very first time.
LYRICS:

Spoiler

Every day is a new day
I'm thankful for every breath I take
I won't take it for granted (I won't take it for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control sometimes it's best to let go,
Whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love (So I trust in love)
You have given me peace of mind
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
Sunshine upon my face (Sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside (Tell the world how I feel inside)
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this is beyond my control
'Cause I could never turn my back away
Now that I see you (Now that I see you)
I can never look away
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
And now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I could never look away
And now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I believe no matter what they say
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly

 

This video and Rubber Johnny is suitable to give me nightmares.
But when I watch "Window Licker" after it, everything will be fine! These are so funny.
Especially the way the two guys talk to each other at the beginning and how they dance in the end credits. I can't stop laughing every time.

Can so totally relate to this :D

 

Ok, this is a live video, but it is powerful. Start at 1:11

 

MJ's Thriller, Ghost and Black Or White music videos.

 

As much as it feels weird to admit, "Helena" by My Chemical Romance. I couldn't tell you why as I was never into ANY music scene of any kind (videogame music being the closest) but the first time I saw it back some 16-17 years ago as a 21-year-old, it absolutely blew my mind. Probably has something to do with the fact that I saw it early in the morning and was the first thing I saw after waking up from a very realistic and emotional dream where I was in a local mall that was getting progressively darker and abandoned like a tamer version of Silent Hill only to come to the end and find my then-best friend in a coffin with a spotlight on him like an extremely private funeral viewing or some shit.

But since then and today even, this music video still speaks to me. There is not one shot, frame, costume or dance move I would want changed. It is beyond perfect to me and I don't know why, it just is.

 

Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild

It ain't official video, but the intro of the movie itself.
If anyone hasn't seen it yet u def. should. Jack Nicholson's role was fantastic.

 

Pink Floyd - Money

 

Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name

 

UNKLE - Rabbit In Your Headlights

Well, it's difficult if not impossible to choose among hundreds of clips and I follow Mtv since 80's and I saw so f.. many.
Powerful... it means visually I guess... Some of them were disturbing, some were pleasant, however the first that comes in mind is
Soundgarden - Black hole sun

but if I should give the prize for best videoclip makers ever (and artist), this will surely go to
OK GO.
Absolutely brilliant, they never miss a shot and the complexity and creativity of their clips is to me undisputed.
Have a look to ANY of their clips, you'll be astonished.
Here a wonderful example, made on a Vomit Comet (0 gravity plane):

 

This, back in the days when we were actually paranoid and terrified it might actually happen and soon.

 

Actually I don't know when that video was made, I did see it years ago online but can't recall if I saw it back in the early '80s. Certainly heard the song back then.
