"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  I didn’t quite realize this song was twenty-five fucking years old. I find it upsetting to realize this. Yuck. There is literally nothing special about it. It has that older hip-hop sound. More bass, less bounce. Back when people really rapped not just spoke quickly. (Not that this song is a shining example of that.) Their voices are innately angry, even when they are not mad. If you had asked me to make my own list, this song would not have made it. The minute I saw it on the list I knew I had listened to it countless times and it belonged there. If you had asked me if I like this song I would have said something with a shrug attached….”yeah, it’s good.” But the minute I played it (in my headphones) I said (aloud to the room), “Come on, this is a great fucking song.” I also don’t know if I had ever seen the Dead Prez before. I fully enjoyed watching the video and seeing so so many hip hop culture cliches. That is where I live. |
| "The Soundtrack of Your Life" I know I already spent some space on another song’s post bitching about metal and hard rock. But here we go again… Even as far as that shit goes, Metallica is the worst. Just the worst. I couldn’t hate any group more. I couldn’t really even hate any group’s music more. And I have no explanation. I disliked Metallica and then, AND THEN, came the fucking worst song I have ever heard….Enter Sandman. And everyone played it over and over and made you watch as the song forced them into the throes of ecstasy. In the perfect example of “the exception that proves the rule”...considering all it does is make me more steadfast in my hatred….there is one song. It is a very unMetallica-like song, even the drummer says so, which of course helps. I think this list proves, if nothing else, that I dig some dark depressing songs. Like recognizes like. Also - who the fuck can stand Lars Ulrich? He seems….smarmy. And maybe like he needs a throat punch. |
| "The Soundtrack of Your Life" This is another song with no singing. It's weird that there were two of those on the year’s summary. It makes me wonder how many songs are like that and how many of those are on my playlist. Hmmmmm. I like this one simply because of the beat. I don’t like the Gorillaz really. I am not the biggest fan of “digital groups” and it wouldn’t make any difference what they were saying. But I am a fan of some colonization allegory. Some capitalistic exploitation. Some nature wins. So the lyrics also make me happy. But there is a different reason I love it. And I won’t be able to explain it because if I sit and think too hard about it myself - I can’t make it make sense either. Something about its vibe. Something about the stark differences between a capitalistic society and a more indigenous way of life. Something about the slight absurdity of it. The whole thing reminds me of Joe Versus the Volcano. And for reasons unknown I fucking have always loved that show. |
