Edit: added info below

The song “Wind” by Akeboshi speaks of living life to the fullest and not being discouraged by failure or criticism from others. The lyrics encourage the listener to cultivate a hunger for life and to channel their anger into their chosen paths, rather than letting frustration and fear dictate their choices. The singer also speaks of the importance of taking time to reflect and evaluate one’s choices, and the consequences that come with such decisions. Ultimately, the song’s message is that one should not overthink or allow fear to keep them from getting what they truly desire out of life, as regret could be the ultimate consequence.

“死ぬのがいいわ (Shinunoga E-wa)“ is an exquisitely interesting and unique song via a combination of Showa (old Japanese era) style lyrics /melody and the modern trap-style beat.

The song has been arguably the singer-songwriter’s most successful track on his personal record so far in 2022. “Shinunoga E-wa” is a song about dying rather than being separated from their lover. His crisp and husky vocals, layered over an intoxicating melody, can put listeners in a trance-like state, making the song an instant hit.

In mid 2022, the song off Fujii Kaze’s album Help Ever Hurt Never caught the world by surprise. This two-year-old song first started to explode in Thailand in late July 2022 after many TikTok users featured it in their videos on the app. Its success continues to escalate globally over the months, enabling Fujii Kaze to attend the 73rd installment of the famous Japanese New Year’s Eve TV event, Kohaku Uta Gassen.

As this song has gone viral, Kaze released “Shinunoga E-wa” Live at Nippon Budokan version on his YouTube. On Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, his debut album returned at No.95 on August 17, 2022, previously reaching No.1 on June 1, 2020.

“Dog Days Are Over” is a single off of Lungs, and is considered the band’s first big hit in both the US and the UK.

This harp-based track is about suddenly finding happiness, and disbelieving that it’s actually there.

According to one interview, the song title comes from an art piece by Ugo Rondinone.

The song was released as the album second single in 2008 with “You’ve Got The Love” as its B-Side. However, after the album’s success after its release in 2009, the band re-released the song as single in 2010. This time, the B-Side of single was a remix of “Dog Days Are Over”.

Here’s the 2008 original single cover of Dog Days Are Over:

Wow!

Thanks for sharing about the cover!

I just added it to ‘post to lemmy later in the near future’ folder, hahahaha

Another random but interesting? info:

This cover of the Ben E. King classic serves as the main theme of the RPG video game Final Fantasy XV.

In the announcement trailer, Florence described “Stand By Me” as “one of the greatest songs of all time”; explaining that it was impossible to ‘improve’ upon, so “you just have to do your own!”.

From the plot of FFXV, the song can be interpreted from the perspective of the protagonist and only playable character, Noctis Lucis Caelum. “Stand By Me” is Noctis’s way of expressing the feelings of gratitude in his heart that he can’t say straight out. source

The classic Final Fantasy prelude is integrated in the song’s intro and first verse.

“The Ghetto” is a 1990 single by Oakland rapper Too Short from his album Short Dog’s in the House. The song was featured on the fictional radio station Radio Los Santos in the videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The instrumental was based on the Donny Hathaway song of the same name. The song discusses the struggles of living in the ghetto and the difficulty of getting out of the ghetto to live a more successful life. It also discusses issues such as drug abuse and racial pride. Too Short is mostly known for his raps relating to sex and women, however he did have some songs with a deeper message and serious economic and social commentary. “The Ghetto” being an example of this.

Life’s a bitch and then you die

Can’t say it much better than that. Nas and AZ get existential and reflect on their lives and life in general.

As well as being AZ’s debut on wax, this song is notable for the trumpet solo at the end, performed by Nas’s father, Olu Dara.

Nas wanted to sample Mtume’s “Juicy Fruit” but producer L.E.S. brought The Gap Band’s “Yearning For Your Love” instead, which was fortunate since The Notorious B.I.G. would use the Mtume sample on his single “Juicy” released the same year.

L.E.S. provided some background information about the track in an interview with XXL:

AZ was there. Nas was like, ‘A, you got something for this?’ A just went in the booth and spit it, and Nas came right behind him. AZ had a chorus. They vibed, and before I even blinked, I left the studio, went back to the projects, and niggas was like, ‘We love that Nas joint.’ I was like, ‘Damn. Word? How they get that?’

AZ added:

After the hook was there, they was like, ‘Damn, you gotta spit, dawg.’ I was like, ‘Aight, fuck it. If you like it, you like it. You don’t, you don’t.’ I did it, and everybody liked it. That was it. It was history made.

This song is about the cycle of poverty and violence, using bookends to imply that the baby being born at the end of the song is going to meet the same fate as the young man who dies. It also doubles as a call to action for the listener, saying that without help the protagonist will “grow to be an angry young man someday” yet seemingly already defeated as Elvis notes that we’ll be tempted to look the other way as the world keeps turning.

The song that quite possibly got 50 Cent shot – and maybe Jam Master Jay as well. 50 names plenty of names of old-time Queens drug dealers.

From Vibe:

You’ve come under attack for violating the code of the streets with songs like “Ghetto Qu’ran,” where you mention names. Is that a fair criticism?

Everything that’s in “Ghetto Qu’ran” is in Cop Shot—a book in the fucking library. Everything in that song was in the newspapers at the time that it went on. The shit that these niggas is talking don’t make fucking sense.

Written by Donny Hathaway and Leroy Hutson. Released in 1970 as a single by Hathaway. This song connects to other soul/jazz songs released by African-American artists of the early ‘70s such as Curtis Mayfield. This song, although it does not use very heavy lyrics, uses instruments to send its message. The Ghetto uses conga drums, electric piano, improvised vocals by Hathaway, and beats with Afro-Caribbean influence.

Brown began to write “Chicken Fried” with Wyatt Durrette several years before the song’s release. The two met when Brown was playing at a tavern in Atlanta, Georgia. According to Country Weekly, Brown had already started the song when he and Durrette began listing off “things that are very southern or characteristic of the South to put into this song.”

I would highly encourage you to talk to and learn from people that do not think or agree with your views!

I would wager the duopoly as a whole has done much more than just one person, we can even go further…

Looking at the handful, which is made up of and by the owner class, that control our media and policy as a nation; legalized bribery which is just lobbying and much more!

But careful going down rabbit holes, hahaha

Too many topics we can talk about…

…but meme can be taken as, people with power/influence use their influence/power to create propaganda so as to keep the working class fighting each other.

Mass immigration is caused by wars/famine/gov’ts, which in turn keeps working class fighting the foreignors instead of the people that caused it.

It goes back to the people in power seeing humans<profit

Any thoughts on any of this?

Yes, that part of the text was meant to be taken as a joke.

I hope this helps you understand a bit more on the context behind it!

jimmydoreisalefty OP ,

I would be really careful when labeling it in that way.

If Iran nuked Israel, the US would join in even more and retaliate for Israel, since most of our gov’t and politicians get some form of donations or help from AIPAC and such.

This would start WWIII at a much quicker rate than what it currently is, not to mention Russia and China would also have to join in.

Zionists would be a better word, IMO, force a ceasefire and sanction Israel would be the minimum.

jimmydoreisalefty OP ,
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

edit: word

I do not think that is a healthy way of looking at the world.

The working class are just pawns in these never ending wars we somehow keep finding ourselves in.

This is all [due] to the owner class pushing for more profits and more infighting within the working class.

The real war should be the class war!

Marijuana would not be decriminalized or legalized, but such a move would be a grand step forward after decades of the federal government’s war on drugs and ease legal business surrounding the drug.

Winning or taking a loss, duopoly still fcks the working class.

Sorry to say but fascism has been here for a while, let us continue to pay closer attention to what goes around in our communities!

I hope you one day come to a different conclusion than just keeping people in the duopoly.

Let us continue to talk to people we do not agree with or think like, we can all learn fro them and teach them!

Thank you for sharing your views though!

Why are you trying to convince me to vote for Trump…

Or at least that is how I am seeing it…

I do understand that in the US we can vote for anyone and be proud, while also sitting out of the election, can be seen as a proud act as well!

I hope this view has helped you understand that many do not see Trump/Biden the same way you do!

We must contiue to question and be highly critical of those in power, especially those in gov’t that have much money/influence!
