Bizzare love triangle by New Order
My pick-me-upper this morning
What gets me moving
I don’t know what cave I have been in these past few years, honestly have not heard of BTS until this year . Can I just say, I’m so proud for this younger generation of fans who adore them. I think it’s incredible that an Asian group has crossed ethnic lines like this because talent and great music is color-blind.
Anyway, having said that, I think my respect for them has increased when I saw their “Dynamite” video because of their tribute to Michael Jackson’s form and moves , most especially from Billie Jean as seen here:
Lol, you’re not the only one who took the other route to Korean music. I had already a huge list with Korean music on YouTube, certain artists I particulary liked, was learning Korean, watching videos about the country and the language … And at some point, months (at least) later, I stumbled upon some discussion (I think it was on Duolingo, not sure, though), where people were talking about some band called BTS. And I thought: “Who they?”
Well, later on there was a friend from another forum who started recommending me some of their songs and later one of their songs was also used in a Korean Unnie lesson:
(part 4 seems to be missing)
Gosh, I feel like I am really showing my age here. I have a Spotify playlist titled “Oldies” that I listen to while I work out on my elliptical (which is rare these days). Just to give you an idea of how aged I am, I have songs by Earth, Wind and Fire, Michael Jackson, Prince, Santana, The Clash (just one song, Rock the Casbah), etc. Don’t judge me, okay
Btw, if any of you use Reddit, there is a subsection called RedditSessions where musicians live stream their music and take requests. There are some real good DJs who will take requests as well.
You could always say that you “recently discovered some oldies” …
@choitrio - I looove all of those artists you mentioned - well except the Clash, not that familiar with them but I know of that song . I saw Prince in concert in 2011 - little did I know, he’d be gone a few years later.
This one makes me want to “desbundar” Let’s groove tonight - EWF
Little Red Corvette - Prince
Black Magic Woman - Santana
Rock With You - MJ
I knew you would have a good taste in music. Yeah, EWF definitely makes you want to “desbundar”. I have three kids who fortunately all love EWF as well so we decided that one of them has to get married on the 21st (night) of September just so that we can have the family (instead of mother-groom) dance on the floor.
Today, I got this as a suggestion - guitar overload.
Love that one.
Some more of The Clash
When you wrote Oldies - I thought:
Age? Age is a number … Numbers don’t lie …
But as long as I got …
yes! That sounds really awesome! Perfect family wedding dance on a perfect date. Desbundar away! just go a little easy on the mbuki-mvuki though
I dance all over my living room with this one
Lmao that’s awesome.
I love that Hyde and Gackt’s song (and I love them!). It’s so emotive. Here’s a YT with English subtitles. The lyrics are simple yet superbly touching. I think I was “carried away” when I heard (and saw) that “eternal goodbye” image in my mind. Gackt and Hyde are so talented. They never fail to draw me (you?) in, emotionally, through their musical talent.
~English Translation~
In the evening, I saw with you.
The orange sun
You looked like you were going to cry.
Eternal goodbye
The glittering waves played with your innocent profile
You are lovely as you run past me barefoot on the sandy beach
Your name written in the sand and the seashells decorating it
Are swept away by the waves in front of the two of us
In the evening, I saw with you.
The orange sun
You looked like you were going to cry.
Eternal goodbye
The blue sky whispers softly, the red sunlight embraced us
I closed my eyes as I held you as well
A great many joys or sadnesses.
Countless meetings or farewells
Just the same as back then, it’s watching kindly.
The orange sun
At that time, the two of us were dreaming about eternity
We held each other and laughed. Like we’d never part
I think of you with almost amazement
With just that I’m satisfied
Don’t cry, we’ll meet again some day
If you close your eyes…
In the evening, I saw with you.
The orange sun
You looked like you were going to cry.
Eternal goodbye
In the evening, I saw with you.
The orange sun
You looked like you were going to cry.
Eternal goodbye

Other awesome songs from them:
(raw and unplugged)
(with bilingual subs)
(His cover of a classic DD song)
(The official MV)
This song (and its lyrics… whoa, it just struck me that it was written back in 1993! Go RETRO!) would probably ring loud and clear in many hearts, especially during this pandemic. Be well, everyone. “There is an ordinary world out there”…
~English Lyrics~
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can’t escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some’d say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away
But I won’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
“Pride will tear us both apart”
Well, now pride’s gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some’d say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
But I won’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Every world
Is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world
Is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world
Is my world

Haha, do these count as “Music that gets you moving”? (as in being moved emotionally… ) I do have some real rockers to share (later)…
(PS: I wish there are spoilers to hide the lyrics and keep the post shorter… Pardon the length.)
Spread the love, wish you all weekend full of love:
Me too! It’s on the OST of Moon Child. Did you see that movie too?
Thanks for the great songs!
There are. Click on and then on “Blur spoiler”. Although I guess that would not really shorten the post …
It doesn’t matter that it’s long, though. It’s a great post!
Music that gets me moving is Daft Punk - Get Lucky. Lol i love listening to that song while washing the dishes.
Disbundar! Happy Weekend! Happy Halloween!
Cam someone please translate?
Golimar means shoot (the bullet). After looking around for the english lyrics, all I got was:
It does not mean anything in English, so I guess it is untranslatable into English.
Goli maaaaaaar… Goli maar!
