GARBAGE - The Trick Is To Keep Breathing

She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels about herself
She takes a little time in making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against the tide

And lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone

Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

Can't bear to face the truth
So sick he cannot move
And when it hurts he takes it out on you

And lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone

Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

The trick is to keep breathing [x2]

She knows the human heart
And how to read the stars
Now everything's about to fall apart
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

The trick is to keep breathing [x7]

ORGY - Blue Monday (New Order cover) > The Video!!!

Do you remember this crazy American band from the Family Values tribe?
They were called Orgy (commercial suicide if I may say). Late 90s they released "Stitches" and "Fiction". Good tracks but unfortunately not very successful in the charts.

Yet another "Blue Monday" cover.

Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl > The Video which could have appeared in Top Gear!!!

The sports cars used in this video are actually Jay's owns. Pretty cool, huh?

George Michael - Freedom > The Video!!!

CLASSIC!

Rammstein - Stripped (Depeche Mode cover)

As a true Depeche Mode fan, I worship Martin Gore and all his songs. When I discovered the Tribute To The Masses album, I was stunned! Not only their songs still sounded good through different bands but also the artists who did this were also true fans and it shows!

I do have two songs from this Tribute album that I really love:

1- Rammstein - Stripped
2- The Smashing Pumpkins - Never Let Me Down Again

Speaking of the SP, they're back in studio.

Enjoy the strong German accent! I love it!!!

Robbie Williams - Brit Awards 2010 performance + Lifetime Achievement Award!!!

I know somebody who just luuuuuuuuuuuuv Mr Williams! Who doesn't anyway???

Valentine's day songs, can't find any really...!

I have been looking for that Valentine's Day romantic kind of songs but wasn't really inspired.
What really inspired me was the Smashing Pumpkins's "Ava Adore". But with the intro "It's you that I adore, You'll always be my whore", I thought that my boyfriend might not like it. Even though the song is brilliant: the guitar is loud, the lyrics are good. You really feel something. It's just that intro that might turn him off (and probably Billy Corgan's voice as well).

Then I thought about "Today", again from the Smashing Pumpkins. Not bad but not my first choice for a cuddle. At least I didn't fall for Daniel Beddingfield's cheesy "If You're Not The One" song that might have been played over and over again at weddings. Or even Robbie William's "Angel" over-played at funerals!

Then I thought, let's go 70s with 10CC's "I'm Not In Love" but what if Boyfriend thinks I don't love him anymore? A little bit further in time was "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes" from Korgis. It's nice, relaxing but again, damn cheesy!

Scissor Sisters have a couple of great songs on their first studio album called... ermm... Scissor Sisters. Songs like "It Can't Come Quickly Enough"; "Laura" and "Return to Oz" are musically awesome but the lyrics are far from being romantic. For example, their song "Return to Oz" is about drug abuse within the Gay community.

And just before dark, then came a briliant idea: ZERO7! Why haven't thought about it earlier???? Their whole abum When It Falls is a triumph of love. Perfect for a romantic night in with Boyfriend. Ending the album with Morcheeba's "The Sea" and then Groove Armada's "My Friend", this is going to be a great night!

If there is ONE song I would recommend for that type of "evening", this would be Zero7's "Over Our Heads". This songs is really special!

What is your favourite love song of all time?

MASSIVE ATTACK LIVE IN LYON - My concert review

I went to see Massive Attack with my dear friend Uncle Terr. It was brilliant!!!
The opening act was Martina Topley-Bird. She has been working with Tricky, Gorillaz and of course Massive Attack. It was very nice to hear, her melodies are sweet and even a little "childish" but in a very nice and innocent way. Some of her songs sounded like it could have been a lullaby.

Then came the "rain"! The guys came on stage and blew us away starting straight away with their brand new single called "Splitting the Atom". It was a first for me because I've never heard it before and it was mesmerising! But the highlights were of course "Unfinished Symphony", "Inertia Creeps" and "Angel". Unfortunately we had no "Karmakoma" but it didn't altered the show in any way. "Inertia Creeps" being one of my favourite song, it was a magical experience to actually hear it live in the middle of the crowd twisting like a snake with my hands in the air. I was lost in the melody and guided by Robert Del Naja's voice.


At the end of the show, Martina Topley-Bird was out signing autographs and taking pictures with the fans and we approched her and chat a bit. She was lovely. She didn't like the lightning so she then said "let's lay down on these tables and you (Gilles) will take the picture from above". "Alright! Let's do it!" I replied. Ok, I look like shit compared to her and her natural poise.

Florence & The Machine - You've Got The Love > The Official Video!

Florence & The Machine - "You've Got The Love"
I love this track, it just makes you feel so good! This is actually a cover version. The original version was released by Candi Station in 1991.

CLICK HERE to listen to Candi Station's "You Got The Love".

You've got the love? I do!

Tricky vs. Portishead - Hell Is Around The Corner > The video!

Tricky - Hell Is Around The Corner

I really like this song. I'm currently at work on my lunch break and here I am, posting about that song I'm listening at this very moment. This song is called "Hell Is Around The Corner" and dates back 1995. It is remix of The Portishead's "Glory Box".
Tricky is an English trip hop artist who also worked with Massive Attack. He is also an actor and worked with John Woo and Luc Besson - Tricky was playing the right-hand man of Mr Zorg (Gary Oldman - you've got to love that movie).

MANIC STREET PREACHERS - Motorcycle Emptiness > The Video!

My boyfriend doesn't like the Manic Street Preachers but I do. There is so many songs that I love and it was really hard to pick one in particularly. My favourites are "A Design For Life", "If You Tolerate This Than Your Children Will Be Next", "Found My Soul", "Your Love Alone", "I'm Not Working", "You Love Us" and "Motorcycle Emptiness". But I wanted to post a video of the four of them; Bradfield, Wire, Moore and Edwards. And this is, to me, their best song.

Being Bored? Never With The Pet Shop Boys!

I am not feeling very well today. I'm staying at home, in bed with a cold, feeling not so glamorous. But it doesn't matter, I am not bored. I've got some good music in my ears and I want to share it with you. Here is what I am listening to at this very moment :

PET SHOP BOYS - BEING BORING

Pet Shop Boys - Being Boring ( Novembre 1990)
envoyé par darkub. - Regardez la dernière sélection musicale.

The video is beautifully executed by Bruce Weber. And the track is from their 1990's album called Behaviour.

Intro - Everything But The Girl

Hello!

It was meant to happen, I had to write a blog about music. And you might wonder why.
Let me introduce myself: my name's Sabrina Marie but my friends call me Sab, Sabster, Breen-Breen, Breener and Breena. I like the name Breena, it kind of sounds like a porn star's name but that makes it even funnier!
I love music. Sometimes it feels like I would literally die if I had no music. To me, music is more than a distraction, it's a part of my life. You can say that I'm a music junkie. I have been a music junkie from an early age. So this is why I want to share what I know about music, the bands and artists that I love and that I hate. I hope you'll all enjoy reading it as much as I have fun posting on it!

To start my first article, I would like to share a tune with you.
This song is from Everything But The Girl, an English band well-known during the 90s for their track called "Missing". But this one is my favourite song, it's called "Wrong" and is remixed by Todd Terry. The original song is from the album Walking Wounded (1996). I love this track because it really is, to me, the sound that describes the 90s at its best. And Tracey Thorn's voice sounds so fragile and graceful at the same time which makes the song even more special.
