It was my discovery of symphonic rock with long guitar solos but also the piano. It was the first time that I was totally captivated by music. Unfortunately, that did not happen, because my parents thought it was awful. We drove to Spain that summer I was looking forward to listening to it on the way. I then asked someone to record the music on cassette tape. However, we did not have a CD player in the house. I loved it and bought the album 'Love over gold' with 'Telegraph Road' as the opening song as my first CD (40 guilders at the time, a huge amount). The song was different from anything I had heard anyway, but that was probably due to my limited musical experience. "As a teenager, I had never heard a song that lasted this long (14:18 minutes). Was in the news this year about Woke, and his nude photography project in the Academy Building We can certainly use that with the rising energy bill )."įloris van den Berg, Enviromental philosopher And despite the heavier meaning, it’s a heartwarming song.
A nice moment of reflection at the end of the year. I don't recall a specific memory when listening to this song, but it does make me look back gratefully on a lot memories or think about people that I no longer have around me. For me, this song is not only about a person who has left, but also about memories from the past. The lyrics are about letting go of a person but still wishing them well. The title, "Godspeed", means that you wish someone good luck in the journey to come. This makes the song very easy to listen to and at the same time ensures that you get caught up in it.
The music consists of a warm and subtle piano melody. I think this is one of the best songs because both the music, lyrics and vocals are very beautiful. "The original was sung by Frank Ocean, James Blake co-wrote this song and later covered it. Was elected to the City Council this spring for the Student & Starter party But when the door opens, you get hit with a flurry of smoke, music and warm air."Īnnemarijn Oudejans, Master'student Sociology Just the dull beat, cold wind, and some ambient noise. It's like getting glimpses of the nightlife scene from the bus or from an alleyway. It's uncompromising, as early dubstep used to be, solitary, but warm and extremely emotive. Untrue is London based, and is about borders, the city and hope, and of course about the club scene and growing up and stuff. Alternative electronic music should finally start traveling across generations. In a Pitchfork review, Burial was called the Joy Division of the dubstep generation. So here’s my way of putting it onto the UU-2000. Even though it is very accessible, it will never make it into the top 2000. Opener Archangel is the reason I put the record on repeat 15 years ago. "This is from the album Untrue, one of the most important albums in electronic music, or IDM, or whatever you want to call it. Is active in the action group 0.7 and has been fighting for better teacher contracts for years Tim de Winkel, PhD candidate at Media & Culture Studies It therefore remains achingly beautiful, and unfortunately still topical." The interesting thing is that the lyrics can also be interpreted as a song about heartbreak, but for me it is inextricably linked to the grief and loss casued by war and violence. I only wanted to hear the Rolling Stones and bands like The Doors and see war series. That didn’t really do wonders for me in social situations, I think I was still in primary school and the other children still listened to the Dolly Dots and watched Fame. It was also my introduction to rock music. That really stuck with me, also during my war, conflict and terrorism studies. Action, war, but also the pain and darkness those wars bring: 'no colors anymore, I want them to turn black'. Together with those war images, that show opened up a whole new world for me. Paint it black was the program’s opening tune. At home we hardly watched any TV, but when I was 12 or so I was suddenly allowed to watch Tour of Duty with my father, who was fascinated by the history of the war in Vietnam. I already owned a cassette recorder, but not a lot of cassette tapes.
"I was astonished when I first heard Paint it black. Why does this song appeal to you so much? Was featured on many talk shows about conflict situations such as the current war in Ukraine Beatrice de Graaf, hoogleraar Internationale en politieke geschiedenis
