What Are You Listening To Now v8.0

[ChloeTzang]

From "Nirvana in Fire," a Chinese historical drama set in the 6th Century, where the Southern Liang is at war with Northern Wei.

"Faded Beauty" (alternatively "Aging Beauty" is one of the songs from the soundtrack. "When the Wind Blows (风起时)" is the main theme song of the drama, with "Faded Beauty (红颜旧)" and "Loyal Blood Forever Runs Red (赤血长殷)" acting as insert songs.

"Faded Beauty (红颜旧)"

"When the Wind Blows (风起时)"

"Loyal Blood Forever Runs Red (赤血长殷)"

Southern Qi becomes Southern Liang. Lots of drama here - Chinese history is long and involved (and very well documented LOL)

Nobody sings like Chris any more.

It's not just his singing. The last song I wrote, I wrote with his instruction in mind: chorus first. He was alive then. Before that, I wrote lyrics once the melody and chord sequence crystallized. The chorus followed. Chris was a brilliant songwriter.

Right now, I'm listening to Simple Minds, past that one record where they were huge because of that one song they didn't want but went multi-platinum because of that one film. Mostly Street Fighting Years, but also some Real Life.

Bless you, Lou Reed, for that cameo.

Honestly, the last five songs from Street Fighting Years remain life-altering for me. Here's the whole album:

And a distinctive one. I've been a little bit obsessed with The Pretty Reckless' "Only Love Can Save Me Now", written in the wake of his death and recorded in collaboration with surviving members of Soundgarden. It's so heavily influenced by his style that I can hear just how his voice would've fit into that song; even though he's not there I experience it like a duet.
