Mono

 

New York brought me “This will destroy you”… then in a blink I discovered “Mono” and “Explosions in the sky”.
If you like instrumentals that transport you… give it a shot.

Born in 76, you could argue I am a seventies child, but really I was a child in the eighties. Billy Idol, A-ha… you name it… It is weird for me to see the world coming back to this era, but anyway…
Billy Idol. Well, it was back in 1984/1985. I found this tape with Billy Idol’s videos and I thought, wow… that’s fun! Kind of punk, kind of sexy, rock and -- of course -- a super skilled mad guitarist (little did I know then that the latter would matter to me so much now).
So you can picture it, after watching Idol pointing his upper lip, I probably found a mirror and didn’t sleep until I mastered this skill (see picture above). lol
I watched a VH1 concert recently where B. Idol was telling the stories around the songs, made me appreciate the guy even more.
I just watched another gig done for “Soundstage”, there was this new song…
I picked up my guitar and played on it. Much fun. :)

Let’s call this one: “It’s impossible… only if you believe it is.”

Love the poster!
Also, the trailer seems so creative… and it’s about dreams. What more could you ask for? I need to watch it!

This song Halo now works on so many different levels for me… Dedicated to our friends in Haiti.

“Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they’re tumbling down
And they didn’t even put up a fight
They didn’t even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin’
It’s the risk that I’m takin’
I ain’t never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You’re the only one that I want
Think I’m addicted to your light

I swore I’d never fall again
But this don’t even feel like falling
Gravity can’t forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin’
The risk that I’m takin’
I’m never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo”

What do you get when you mix Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)? Them Crooked Vultures.

No One Loves Me & Neither Do I… that’s the song below, not a statement. ;)
