Voicy's favourite songs (as requested by Stokey)

[Voicy]

Hey guys, so a few guys thought my songs i posted were ok enough for them to enjoy, so I thought i'd share a couple more which have always been close to me... do not pay too much attention to the movies, since the songs aren't very commercial, the videos lack budget and are often fan based.

So without further lag, in no apparent order:

Jack's Mannequin - The mixed tape (it may come across as an angry song at first, but give it a listen... it's def. one of my best)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwt3fTfDlCg

The Eels - Not Ready Yet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBFK-87SLdg

Raemonn - Supergirl (I cant believe they had this guy as the opening act for Nelly Retardo, it shouldve been her opening for him)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ4OvE1y3IU

Slut - It was Easier (first time i heard this song was when i saw them live in germany at a weekend fare)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbbyVwBCKME

Jack's Mannequin - Dark Blue (The lead singer just recently overcame leukemia sp*)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDScNjxlScE

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (a real moving song)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqZ4cbt-w5Y

Kent - Den döda vinkeln
(I thought i'd throw this one in, seeing as i've always liked Kent's music and quite a few of you may recognize this song of his even though it's in Swedish)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spr5GvHh_0U

Weezer - Island in the Sun (just a feel good song that I've always loved, almost like 500miles is to old people)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qy0fmjxijk

Jack's Mannequin - Kill the messenger

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz2g3EGXYlk

The Shins - New Slang (recently discovered but as its quoted in garden state "this song will change your life" )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11Kr1-q-pA

The Eels - Your Lucky day in Hell (this one is a must)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI46qA390qk

Patrick Park - Life is a dream (one of those songs that make you think)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt4REiGB_-w


these are just a few of the songs i currently enjoy and I hope you do too. Again, its not for everyone.

Hallelujah is a great song. Depending on the context it can be very depressing, but also very uplifting.

Supergirl was also a cool song. Can't say I know much of the rest...

[Vortex]

I managed to read through the whole lot without recognising any names! Sheesh I'm behind in the times apparently..

[Voicy]

Thanks rainy ... yeh none of those are mainstream (cept for maybe the Weezer song)

You should give kent a listening to .. its the opening song to that Mine mine mine bf2 video :p *though i had the song before then*

[Voicy]

Nah, you werent really supposed to recognize any of those. That's kind of the point. It would be silly if we just pasted our top 10 songs and they were all the same, now wouldnt it ?

Have a listen to 1 or 5 of them when you're bored. as i said ... the music vids arent much to go by.

The Shins - new slang FTBW
Garden state was just flippen amazing!

[Badapple]

Hallelujah was played in one of the Shrek movies, 2 i think? - or similar

[Noodle]

Yup was in Shrek 1 when he had the fight with Fiona. :p

[Badapple]

Hey i thought you was off to have your girly bath :wink:

[Voicy]

Yeh, they had a faster version of it playing on shrek. Coincidentally, about 2 or 3 of The Eels' songs were also in Shrek. In fact 1/3rd of all their songs have probably made it onto movie soundtracks, yet nobody really knows em. I missed their tour in berlin by a weekend :(

[senorblinky]

The Eels Rock.
I think one of my favourite songs has to Fresh Feeling

:D

[Arbythep00nage]

Islands in the Sun gives me goosebumps, good times those were.
What about bongo bong?

[TG]

Bongo Bongo Bongo!!!

[senorblinky]

C'mon, i wasn't even close by!

Ye, i miss those days man...

I wasn't sure if the guys here would appreciate Manu Chao's music ... but here it is... specially for our new clan member, ArrBee


Manu Chao - Bongo Bong

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf3ly7WkEMk

I could probably put down half of Manu Chao's songs under my favourites list... but i'll refrain.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

[Lynus]

I like that ^

[stoke]

That bongo song needs some bongo drum's innit.
But it makes cool laid back background muzac.
Now .. just got to hear out all the other songs in this here thread.

[WingNut]

oooh melikes those Jack's Mannequin songs, never heard them before!
I'm also a big fan of The Eels and Weezer, they're awsum!
I actually prefer the original Leonard Cohen version of Hallelulah, just sounds better with his deeper voice (to me).

[Voicy]

I'm glad you do dude, I have both of his CD's if you're keen to give it a listen one day. one of the only times i've ever gone to buy a cd.

I'm glad you dig it WingNut... the cool thing about them is theyre flippen good and not over commercialized. Almost noone in SA knows about them. ergo no killing the song on the radio.

Leonard cohen's does sound a bit better, i'll admit... i just heard this version first. Same with Thomas Newman's version of "Somewhere over the rainbow"

Try listen to "Holiday from Real" by jack's mannequin on youtube somewhere, its also not bad.
