A few Russian songs I really like by the band Karol I shut (Король и Шут = The King and the Jester)

Love the band. Some of their songs sound very 00's euro poprock. Especially the song about the damn old house, which I absolutely love.

 

[Christiaan]

Time for some cultural enrichment, peeps? French nouvelle vague (synth pop)

Alice et Moi - T'aimerais que ce soit vrai


VIDEOCLUB - Enfance 80


The Pirouettes feat. Timothée Joly - Lâcher prise

I haven't listened to their entire stuff, but have tended to listen to the more punk tracks in general. My daughter got me into them when she was playing their stuff in her room lol

Her favour for punk rock is maybe in the genes? Do your kids also listen to your favourite bands & foreign music (US and EU)? Would be interesting to know if they see differences between Russian poprock, punk vs. Western music.

Ha, actually no, I didn't tell the whole story. She is my step-daughter And my sons are way too young to listen to anything yet.

I will ask my stepdaughter when I see her in a few days, but I doubt she will be able to answer your question.

Hi @LilSass , I replied your message on this thread yesterday but it was removed because of the ''English only'' policy. Darn those anglophones and their superior language! Anyway, how's it going & how's life in Canada?

No, I haven't heard of Laurence Nerbonne, actually. Her music sounds great. I have to admit that I'm not al too familiar with French-Canadian music. I grew up with Alanis Morisette and Celine Dion and that's about it. Although, I get some musical updates every now and then from my oldest sister, who happens to live in Canada too (Gatineau, which is near Ottawa). I love your other suggestions. Hubert Lenoir is one of my favourites and knows how to mix glam rock with synth pop. Do you also have other artists worth mentioning?

Anyway, here are some other artists that deserve a place on Tinnitus Talk IMO:

Hoshi - Amour censure (vidéo sincère)


Hervé - Addenda (Clip Officiel)


Fishbach - Un autre que moi (Clip officiel)


Alice et Moi - J'veux sortir avec un rappeur (Clip Officiel)

One of the most talented artists without a doubt @serendipity1996. He even has his own clothing line (which he also wears in his clips, like in this song). It's a shame that he's out of the running the last three years due to a burn out & depression. Hopefully he will find some motivation to get into the game again.

 

[ASilverLight]

@Christiaan he did work on a song with Coldplay! Been a fan of both for years so that was a very pleasant collaboration for me.



I do agree that I'd love to see his solo work again.

Oh, alright! Sounds great @ASilverLight. I didn't know that. There's a completely different groove to it if you look at their unique and succinct music styles. Have you also been to one of their concerts?

I basically grew up with Coldplay. Talk is one of those songs that rightfully deserves a place in my top 100 (the other 99 are filled with Jamiroquai songs of course).

@Christiaan Coldplay is one of my favourite bands, ever, though I do usually prefer a bit more rock-y music. I grew up with them too, and they got me through the worst in my life. They've been one of few bands I still listen to now.

I did see them live in 2016. Amazing show, got to hear Amsterdam live which is a rarity live... I have a huge collection of Coldplay merch too. If it's not obvious yet music was my everything. Sucks I always took care of my hearing by using plugs and limiting headphone use etc. I really miss being able to listen to music properly, but it's not the same with an intrusive hiss (not reactive though).

Don't know what my favourite Coldplay song is though, it changes a lot.

Yeah, same here with intrusive multi tonal tinnitus. I try to not let it take music away from me & can still enjoy it despite the horror like screech & subwoofer in the background Music is part of the problem & solution to our tinnitus. Hope you can relive the musical experience that you had before & I think you'll eventually

I do still listen, just not as much as I used to. I hope we both get there! Still going for a HF audiogram eventually, although my tones aren't really high pitched. I just want to know though.

 

[JCM6395]

From 1981 thru 1987 I loved this band...saw them twice in concert.

 

[GlennS]

 

[Mister Muso]

I'm a bit obsessed with this song. An incredible emotive performance speaking of love, loss, and everything in between.

 

[Christiaan]

IMO Madonna's best song from one of 90's most impactful albums (Ray of Light, 1998) and which also defined a part of my youth. According to some sources, her album is mostly inspired by Madonna's interest in Kaballah mythicism. It sure did something for her musical career back then.

Here's more cultural enrichment. This time from the The Netherlands and Belgium. Nederpop is in both countries a popular genre and there are a couple of bands that you might have heard of. The first one is the Dutch band Bløf, the second one is the Flemish/Belgian artist Abel and the third one is the Frisian band Twarres (edit: Frisian is a language spoken in the Dutch province of Friesland, but there are a lot of similarities with the Dutch language).

Bløf - Dansen Aan Zee (Dancing by the sea)


Abel - Onderweg (in transit)


Twarres - Wêr Bisto (where are you?)

Oomph, correction: Abel is also a Dutch band (the main singer sings with a Dutch Brabantian tongue, which is similar to Flemish). Here's a Belgian/Flemish band:

Clouseau - Daar gaat ze (there she goes)

Ey @Vassili & @all to gain, what do you guys think of Soviet Synthpop? Just went through some clips on YouTube and this one is really an eye-opener and a treat to my ears I'm sure the lyrics are profound and poetic

I think it's not that bad actually but it's not original. I'm sure they listened to lots of Western vinyl first and then decided to play in a band. Lyrics are weird.

One of my favorite Russian bands. It's Psychedelic Rock or Art Rock I think.

 

[ASilverLight]

@Christiaan how dare you leave out Guus Meeuwis (kidding, but as a real Brabander, I have to admit he's one of my guilty pleasures).

Anyway, this is probably the last band I saw live as I don't intend on ever going back to a gig even if I get cured somehow. Always took care, but don't dare to risk it any longer.



They're really not known much here, but I've loved them for years. These lyrics always hit home, now more than ever.

Weird? Well, now you mention it, it does looks very interesting I don't think any Western synth pop band have used that many metaphors in their lyrics. Very elusive to make out what the exact message is, but hey, that was probably the only way to get such kind of music through strict Communist censorship at the time.

Here are the lyrics btw in English:

A smooth run of my fate,
Night, sadness and glitter of the soul.
Moonlight and rain of May in the skies.

Long life of my star,
Sleepy glitter of earthly dew,
Loud laughter and heavenly mead in the skies.

At dawn, voices are calling for me.
At dawn, voices are calling for me.

Sunlight and heartbeat,
Timid look and arm strength,
Time for my daydream to shine in the skies.

At dawn, voices are calling for me.
At dawn, voices are calling for me.
At dawn, voices are calling for me.
At dawn, voices are calling for me.
At dawn.

One of my favorite Russian bands. It's Psychedelic Rock or Art Rock I think.

Sounds very experimental indeed. There's beauty in creating that kind of chaotic music. Never heard of the band though, but they have a unique quality. It's a shame that we do not receive a lot of foreign music around here. Back in the day when I was just old enough to listen to watch MTV (late 90's), we had mostly anglophone music with French and German in between, and quite seldomly Italian & Russian, like t.A.T.u. It was great that we had so much diversity. Now it's like 99% on the pop charts are anglophone bands.

You are slowly becoming a comrade.

How can I forget the legendary Guus Meeuwis @ASilverLight I'll make it up to you in my next set of the cultural enrichment playlist. Hope others on Tinnitus Talk will enjoy his deep and meaningful lyrics as we do

Funny that you mention Young the Giant. They were also one of the last gigs I visited before my worsening (in Het Paard, in The Hague). Where did you go?

Funny story: the day after the concert, I actually met the lead singer of YtG (Sameer Gadhia) in a small café in Utrecht. I was talking to a friend over at the bar when suddenly a guy with a long rain coat walked in and asked the barkeeper for a cup of coffee. I turned around and was in shock when I recognised the lead singer. Without having even a brief thought of reconsideration, I pulled his coat to draw his attention and when he looked at me, I could only mutter the words that I really enjoyed his show the other day. He thanked me for it and told me they were in Utrecht for another gig at the Tivoli. I said I would very much like to see that gig but couldn't because of my studies, but maybe I would go when the band goes on another tour. We shook hands before he went outside to sit on a terrace with his band mates. I forgot to ask for his autograph and still feel extremely sorry for it, but it was fun meeting such a humble guy.

Anyway, when we both get better, why not top it off with visiting another YtG concert? I'm all in
