Tick tock, tick tock, well would ya look at that! Yep, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?
Tuesday is here again, which can only mean one thing, another three tunes from me and hopefully from lots of you good folks too. How are all of you music loving rockers from Stamullen to Stuttgart doing on this fine evening? Sure, isn't great to be alive all the same.
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 75th week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong. It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Weekly, I try to find three or five hours to listen to all of the fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interact with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.
Here are my week seventy five recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday
** Drum roll please.....**
Arcade Fire - Intervention
I was really surprised last week when I decided to do a post on Arcade Fire, that I had not done one at all up to that point, so I said I would double down last week, so here I am back again, and this time I am devoting an entire post to the album Neon Bible by Arcade Fire.
It was there second studio album, and for a lot of bands, album two can be a flop. they have contractual obligations and release some shit because they have to. luckily this was not the case with Neon Bible and although it was not as good as their debut album Funeral in my opinion, it was still brilliant.
Here is the fourth song from the album - it is called Intervention.
Arcade Fire - No Cars Go
I found this comment in the Youtube comments:
"My teenage years were spent with Arcade Fire in my ears and in my heart. It shaped the perception of the changes I was going thru as a young adult, navigating life and emotionals turmoil. It helped me transmuting negative energies to positive, it was a musical landscape I felt safe and felt I belong. Win and Regine voices will serve as a time travel device to those years and their memories and lessons and loss and wins and sadness and beauties and confusion and inspiration... Thank you Arcade Fire. (I was one of the late teenage kid with long black hair that waited outside at the Granada after your first concert from your Suburbs tour, I also showed you a drawing in progress of Edgar Allan Poe, done earlier while waiting in line outside hours before we were let in and the new songs were presented to us in exclusivity. Still so grateful for that evening, you all signed my ticket too :)
Looking forward to hear your new songs in this coming decade.)"
That is the power of music and sums up what a band like Arcade Fire are capable of giving back to us the listeners. This is the second song I have picked for you from Neon Bible.
Arcade Fire - My Body Is a Cage
I will leave you with the final song from Neon Bible and my final song for today also. Most certainly not uplifting songs, but quality songs nonetheless. For this reason, I will leave you with a super extra bonus track this week, to make sure that everyone leaves my post with a smile on their face.
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a...
My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven
I'm living in an age that
Screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight
I'm living in an age
They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Bonus Tune!
Go on whistle along. I think I'll get them to play this at my funeral and if anyone does not whistle along, I'll never talk to them again....
Also, If you have not seen Monty Phyton's Life of Brian, hang your head in shame and go and watch it at your soonest convenience and while you're at it watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail too! That's the homework for this week!
