Beautiful language, though I understand it written far more than I will ever spoken (or sung). I used to sing Gaelic songs to my daughter as lullabies (as well as Irish drinking songs, which didn't go over as well when she was singing them on the playground the next day).

None of those drunken lullabies about rose tattoos at school!

But the collective effervescence that exists in this crowd; priceless!

One of my favorite things

Well, it is not foreign to me, but I love this song so much!

Songs reminding me of another medium.

Comics insult you said. But comics are all I read.

The Human League - I Am the Law

(Sorry, there's a bit of political background noise influencing this choice.)

for me music is such an integral part of cinema that it can effect the entire experience...nothing captures this relationship more than this song...

The The - This Is The Day
This song was already deep in my heart and head when i went to see a film called Static (mid 80's, barely remembered but great film). It started with Amanda Plummer walking out of playing with a band and in a dark club and then a burst of brilliant blue sky as she drove across the desert and this played. I see that image, the deep blue of the sky, yellow/orange desert and her in a yellow convertible, whenever i hear this now... it was the perfect song for that moment in the film.
It is a perfect song.

Quincy Jones: Soul Bossa Nova

I deleted my original post today after hearing about the passing of a legend; Quincy Jones.
RIP Quincy!
This is one of his classics; soundtrack to Austin Powers films...

Or maybe even now.

Great choice. Great comic.

Quincy Jones is dead. Oh fuck. That's miserable. But what a life he lived. Those movie soundtracks he worked on in the 1960s and 1970s could fill today's theme.

A genius.

Misspent!? Nah! A most wise use of time.

The Snowman - Walking In The Air​

From the childrens book of the same name
Edit: Nightwish do an amazing version of this as well, but I thought I should go with the original..

Day 4 A song that reminds you of another medium (more words)

Punk and metal bands feasted on sci-fi, fantasy, and horror novels (and movies, and comics and cartoons). This is Charlie Harper’s take on the book, “I Robot” by Isaac Asimov.

This is not their one of their best songs, or greatest hits, but it’s sturdy as fuck: poppy, straight forward 4/4, three chord punk rock. Hard for me not to love.

You can listen to this song and think of any sci-fi book with robots, replicants and paranoid androids.

They will always be one of my favorite bands. After 48 years of making music, Charlie hung up his boots last year at the age of 80! (he was considered an old geezer when the band started in 1976!)

Day 4

Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene pt 4

When I was very young, he did a 2 night concert in the then disused London Docklands. The Saturday night was simulcast on Radio 1, and it featured one of the most spectacular shows ever put on in London, featuring lazers and fireworks and whole buildings used as projector screens.

My best friends dad took me and her to a common in SE London, where we had the radio playing, and a bird's-eye view of the lights. This song takes me back there. I was transfixed by his art. Then and now.

I was always drawn by the visual imagery this song evoked in me.

Reminds me of a:
Movie.
Classic piece or art
Book? I dunno. Probably

day 4 - song that reminds you of another medium
Yes I’ve actually read the original book and for some reason I woke up with this song in my head
