WEEKLIES: She's Mine



"You know how when you're listening to music playing from another room? And you're singing along because it's a tune that you really love? When a door closes or a train passes so you can't hear the music anymore, but you sing along anyway... then, no matter how much time passes, when you hear the music again you're still in exact same time with it. That's what it's like."
 - On love, Music from Another Room

First in all of my Weeklies posts is this romance-tinged version. Most of the tracks are a bit old but certainly there is a track here we can relate to.

LYKKE LI : "Tonight I'm Yours..."


[Image]


"..completely."

You might say I'm riding the wave here, but this is really a good cover of the song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Other than Lykke Li, renowned music artists like Neil Diamond, Elton John, Cher, Davin Mason and Amy Winehouse recorded their own versions of the song. I'm enamored by the song when I heard it in The Bee Gees' tribute to Carole King, in which she called the version "definitive".

While I look for that Bee Gees cover, check out Lykke Li's track and the other Amy Winehouse's version of the The Shirelles hit.

Thieves by Tuesday* Indie Radio

Indie rock. Indie Pop. What exactly is it? Rock/Pop on an independent label? Or does it have to do with style, attitude or era? One thing is for sure, there's no exact definition.
Various indie artists influencing my musical taste...

Free : Little Jackie's"Crying For The Queen"

Arjanwrites_littlejackie
I'm not a hundred percent certain, but I'm pretty sure that Little Jackie is giving Amy Winehouse a piece of her mind on her crispy new track "Crying For The Queen"

"Save all that cryin for the queen, go back to the mother land have your mama hold your hand if you eat your eggs with runny beans, save all that cryin for the queen," she dishes. "Judgin your behavior and your junky routine it's time for you to get clean and stop creating a scene, girl you ain’t got shit on me."
Oooh. Touchy touchy.
