Tonight we were hanging out the way we used to ten years ago. Feels kind of like this is the moment when one is supposed to say “time flies!” and well, it’s been many years indeed, however, I couldn’t say they just flew by.. The amount of fun we’ve managed to squeeze in between then and now is just.. wow. :)
Listening to Sade makes me think of red wine and dimmed lights, the blend of the smoothness of her voice and the instruments puts me in a state somewhere between tranquility and bliss.
And as if her voice wasn’t wonderful enough, her old videos are perfect. What a charisma! It’s the 80′s at their best.
Sade – Hang on to your Love
Diamond Life (1985)
Sade – Sweetest Taboo
Promise (1986)
Sade – Turn my back on you
Stronger than pride (1988)
The Chemical Brothers – Hey Boy Hey Girl
Surrender (1999)
I really liked this video when it came out, I still do, it’s a classic. The tune is nice as well and I’m still sometimes singing the line randomly.. somebody saying “hey girl” is usually enough to get me started.
Funny thing how some things just really gets stuck in your head..
Kind of like when somebody says “oh, snap!” seriously.. who doesn’t feel the urge to go “I’ve got the power!!” ?
Have I shown you any Detektivbyrån tunes before? It’s a swedish band that I really like listening to when I’m alone and on my way somewhere, their happy tones spark interesting thoughts and take my mind to unexpected places. Like some kind of infantile circus-music with a touch of positive and energetic thought-tripping. Or I guess it can be whatever you choose to make from it. haha
