Day 26: A song from the 90s


In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
"What a curious life
We have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees"

Anna being Anne Frank
I use NMH a lot for the 90's as they sum up that era for me, when bands from the Elephant 6 made amazing records that were overlooked as other things were happening in the world of "music". So many good bands lost out at that time.
Anyway... think that gets a point.

Backstreet Boys - Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)


90s me had posters of them covering my bedroom walls! Totally geeked out when they showed up in This Is The End!!!

Did you put the CD in your computer and take turns with your friends kissing your favorite one the screen?
Orrrrrrr was that just me? 🀭
 
Day 27: A song from the 00s

Fun fact! Before Tegan and Sara signed with their label and chose their eponymous band name, they were known as Plunk! Light Punk. They played something akin to post-punk but didn't have either a drummer nor a bassist, just two gals with guitars and their voices.

The punk crusade continues!

Tegan and Sara - Walking with the Ghost

Total points: 5 ☺️

I really wanted to be the one to post this song but if it had to be someone else, I'm glad it was you. ❀️

I first heard this song by The White Stripes but when I heard the original, I liked it much better.
 
Day 27: A song from the 00s


Guillemots - Sao Paulo
Their traditional gig closer, a sprawling, (sometimes messy) epic that would feature the audience on handed out percussion instruments in the early days. This version features a massive string and horn section because, well, why not?
Not many songs mention duffel coats, but this is one... which doesn't help this month's challenge, but it does have the lines...
"Have you ever been thrown across the water
Until there's no skin left on your bones"

that deserves a point
